I am a student who was the recipient of a scholarship granted to me by one of the charities that played charitable poker for a short time.  This group enabled me to study abroad and have exposure to a life-changing experience that I would never have had otherwise.  There are many young people like me who apply for scholarships from these charities, and are given the funds to fulfill our dreams.  It saddens me to know that other young, vibrant people will not be able to have that privilege.  You've taken away the ability for charities to grant these fund to all of us. I cannot imagine that the years we spent studying about our wonderful, benevolent country are over.  Students like me should all voice our opinions and let you know that what you are doing is harmful to the future leaders of America. A look at many of today's elected leaders will reveal that scores have been afforded opportunities like mine by charities similar to the ones you are regulating.  Please think more clearly about all of those you are impacting.  Make these regulations a profitable investment in tomorrow's leaders.
