Thank you for all you’ve done to secure this victory in New Jersey. Over the last few weeks thousands of New Jersey poker players came to this web page and took action. Without question our voices helped the Governor come to the conclusion that regulated Internet poker is a good thing for New Jersey and its citizens. His “conditional veto” means that the bill will go back to the New Jersey legislature with amendments. You should be proud of you effort, but all of our work is not done. Let’s be sure we contact our state legislators in New Jersey and urge them to act quickly on the Governor’s amended bill. They should get the bill back to the Governor for signature without delay.
Let’s also THANK Governor Christie for recognizing the importance of this legislation and setting New Jersey on a historic path.
