  A lot of people live with the affliction of having no voice. This doesn't mean they lack the ability to speak. Like most other people, having no voice doesn't keep them from sticking their foot in their mouth. Having no voice just means the dulcet yet annoying sounds that come from the human throat have no impact on the world around them. Anybody that has ever worked for a micromanaging boss who approaches employee relations in a similar way that Henry the VIII approached marriage would understand how truly powerless their voice is. This is never more evident than when matters of public policy are being discussed.



  When the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) took place, poker players throughout the Untied States suddenly felt like people without a voice. It was a Republican who introduced this measure and ramroded it through Congress. Poker enthusiasts were likewise betrayed when the Democrats took control of Congress they refused to do anything about it. You could almost hear them chant, "Status Quo! Status Quo!" when the topic of the UIGEA was brought up. With neither side willing to represent the rights of poker players, while explaining their actions with the typical "We must protect the children" reasoning, those who play online poker suddenly had no voice.



  Well for those who feel about as vocally empowered as a man trying to argue with the cast of "The View", there is some good news. Wednesday, December 12, is the last chance for Americans to submit comments to government agencies about the proposed regulations that will be used to enforce the UIGEA.



  The government will be reviewing comments and possibly revising the rules based on what they read. So let your voice be heard, and remember that most of your Congressmen names have more than four letters in them. Comments can also be sent to the government via e-mail to regs.comments@federalreserve.gov. The docket number Treas-DO-2007-0015 must be included in the subject line. Comments could also be faxed to the offices at (202) 452-3819 or (202) 452-3102. If you don't attach the docket number to your email or fax, a minimum wage earning intern will simply toss your comments away and go back to committing a few unconstitutional acts with another intern they find mildly attractive.



  Don't waste this opportunity. Sitting in a bar and complaining about the government may qualify as civil participation in a third world banana republic, but here you actually have to scream at the lawmakers until they see things your way.
