Martin Shapiro of Florida is a fan of online poker and hopes to see steps toward legalization via the group he founded, iPoker Florida.
Summary of the group:
“A window of opportunity for Internet poker in Florida has opened. The Florida legislature needs to vote on new gambling legislation in the very near future. We must take action quickly to include Internet poker in Florida.
“Our 'Internet Poker Licensing and Consumer Protection Act' is sensible legislation to authorize and regulate Internet poker in Florida, written by and for players. It provides for currently-licensed Florida cardrooms to also be licensed to provide Internet poker. It will create a competitive marketplace and provide extensive consumer protections, as well as eventually allow Florida cardrooms to compete inter-state and internationally when cross-border Internet poker in the United States becomes a reality.
“We are now running a campaign to form a coalition between poker players, Florida cardrooms, poker networks, other state gaming interests and state lawmakers to introduce our bill to the state legislature and bring it to a vote. Your participation in our campaign is needed to help bring about this coalition and a successful vote.”

It seems to be an interesting initiative, seize the right time to vote on the new gaming legislation in Florida, including the poker on the Internet and mobilize the greatest number of players and people that somehow use the game in their lives, finally I wish success in this campaign.
