Check out FullTilt Poker. They will be around until the bitter end (if it comes to that). The main man on FullTilt Poker, Howard Lederer, is active in the fight to save online poker. He holds some position with the PPA (Poker Players Alliance).
So yeah, check out FullTilt. It's a great site with great software and lots of US players.
FULL TILT, DOYLES ROOM, ABSOLUTE POKER, ULTIMATE BET, BODOG, ROYAL VEGAS POKER, POKER STARS, POKER.COM....AND MORE!

Hey Socal:
There are no "legal" poker sites in the United States. Although the industry is hoping this will change over the coming years as it is thought to be believed that poker is a game of skill rather than chance. Until the Government of the US changes its policy regarding gambling then it will remain illegal. That is not to say that it is illegal for a citizen to play poker as long as they do not reside in the following states.
Illinois - While a misdemeanor, the law currently on the books does apply to internet gambling (express internet prohibition). This is the only state that also strictly prohibits advertising within Illinois for online gambling venues (i.e. billboards, newspapers, etc.. that target residents of that state). Gambling911.com has had a strict policy in place for the past few years never to solicit Illinois state residents directly.
Indiana - There is express internet prohibition presented in Indiana's state law and - while never enforced against gamblers - the penalty is considered a felony only if the betting activity is via a syndicate or group, otherwise, placing simple wagers over the internet would be considered a misdemeanor. This state has long been a foe of online gambling since the industry really got underway in the late 90's.
Louisiana - State law prohibits placing of bets via the internet. Penalty is a felony only if betting through a syndicate or group, otherwise it is considered a misdemeanor. Recent warrants against certain principals in online gambling companies by the state of Louisiana show they are seriously enforcing this law and could potentially come after those who gamble online as well.
Montana - Oddly enough, Montana has made internet gambling expressly prohibited, punishable by a misdemeanor.
Nevada - Does not allow internet gambling across state lines.
Oregon - Expressly prohibits internet gambling by its residents.
South Dakota - Only applies to those in the actual gambling business so there is no explicit law prohibiting residents living in that state from gambling online who are not employed or otherwise acting as part of a gambling-related business.
Washington (State) - Last June, the state became the first to make betting over the internet a Class C felony regardless of whether you are betting as part of a syndicate or alone in your own living room. That law is currently about to be repealed For now, Gambling911.com actively warns against betting over the internet if you happen to reside in Washington State.
Missouri, New York, Florida and New Jersey have in the past gone after online gambling operators or those facilitating money transactions via online gambling operators (New York's case against PayPal and Florida's attempts to stop Western Union transactions during the late 90's). None of the states have adapted laws that would penalize actual gamblers from betting online however.
That being said there are still online poker rooms who are accepting US players. I wish you luck and hope you continue to play one of the best games ever invented!
I know absolute is offering a 100% sign-up bonus so if you are interested in another room that accepts US players and want to double your bankroll try them.
