About LinkBacksDo you know how your state Attorney General stood?
This is excerpted from a PPA email (Poker Players Alliance):
I have good news to report! Our state Attorney General, Roy Cooper, rejected an effort to support a national ban on Internet poker. Facing immense pressure to side with Sheldon Adelson and his "Coalition to Stop Internet Gambling" our Attorney General sided with YOU and did not sign a letter to Congress calling for an Internet gaming prohibition. By not signing the letter, Attorney General Roy Cooper is preserving the right of our state to determine what kind of gaming can be regulated.
Please take 60 seconds to send our attorney general a quick note of thanks. Click here to send a prewritten, fully editable letter expressing your gratitude.
From Wikipedia:
Sheldon Gary Adelson (pronounced /ˈ?dəlsən/; born August 4, 1933) is an American business magnate. He is the chairman and chief executive officer of the Las Vegas Sands Corporation, the parent company of Venetian Macao Limited which operates The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino and the Sands Expo and Convention Center

NC Attorney General takes a stand against criminalization of online poker
I'm not slurring my words. I'm talking in cursive. I believe the ladies find it to be quite elegant.

Hard to figure Adelson. Every other gaming executive seems to recognize that online gambling is inevitable, but he persists in tying to bury his head in the sand.

Wow, I'm stunned. For a backwoods, backwards, bible-belt state like NC, that is astonishing news. Btw, I currently live in NC.

Hopefully, more and more states will start to recognize online poker as another source of revenue.
