NC Attorney General takes a stand against criminalization of online poker

Do 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.

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

glad to hear that hopefully there will be federal bill passed someday.

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.

somebody pass this message to my attorney generals. tell him/her keep up the good work.

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

Now North Carolina just needs to legalize marijuanna and ill be moving back to charlotte! lol

yea eventually it will be legal in all states! The problem is how long is this gonna take??

They should just let us play poker and not bother us.

Ijust wish this bullsht would stop let us play poker who or what are we hurting

Hell yea the rest of the ag's should take his view this is alot of bs. Some states you can smoke bud legally and some are criminals for playing poker?

well it is certainly moving along in each individual state slowly but surely

Weee my state standing up for our freedom..so much money can be made from the states by allowing people their right to choose..

I've got to the point where I hope it doesn't become ok for USA based poker sites. Hell I can already play and make money, why would I hope the government will come along and FK it up. Just my thoughts,,,,

I don't hear anything from my state attorney. He probably doesn't care
