Senator Prentice,
I am writing you regarding recent statements you made to ESPN.com regarding online gambling in the state of Washington. I was deeply disappointed by your apparent lack of empathy and concern for those Washington state residents who would seek to participate in online poker playing. Your apparent contempt for poker players and disparagement of gas station attendants is particularly upsetting. Your inability to understand and show concern for online poker players begs the question if there are other constituencies that you are out of touch with or fail to understand.
I am a stay-at-home parent of two young boys who enjoys playing poker as a recreation. As a parent I do not always have the time or luxury of traveling to a casino to play poker. Online poker allows me to put in short sessions of poker as time permits without needing to drive anywhere. Unfortunately I do not have the luxury to leave my children unattended and go down to the gas station and "go pump gas" as you suggest.
According to the law you sponsored I am a felon simply for playing poker online in the privacy of my own home. I must respectfully disagree.
Sincerely,
Tyler Moriguchi

Good/Bad soccer
Good: had a guy who looked like Tyrone Marshall play on our soccer team tonight. Bad: he didn't play like Tyrone Marshall.

3 year olds and two month olds understood daylight savings and slept in for that extra hour.
