Poker legislation updates...

This is a reposting of an email I received from the Poker Player's Alliance:

Dear PPA Member:

The federal effort to ban online gambling has cleared another hurdle and within the next 10 days the House of Representatives will be voting on H.R. 4777, The Internet Gaming Prohibition Act. It is essential that your member of Congress know that you oppose this legislation. We have posted an updated letter that you can send TODAY by going to http://capwiz.com/pokerplayersalliance/issues/alert/?alertid=8585611

It is critical that Congress hears from you before this vote!

Additionally, the Poker Players Alliance is seeking members who would be willing to lend their name to a letter that would be published in their local newspaper. These letters would let fellow citizens know that Congress is seeking ban online poker and open the door to greater government involvement in our personal affairs. If you would be willing to put your name on a letter contact us immediately at email@pokerplayersalliance.org

Finally, we wanted to make you aware of an excellent editorial published on June 9th in the Los Angeles Times. I encourage each of you to read this enlightened and thoughtful look at the current Congressional debate surrounding online gambling. The complete editorial can be found by going to http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion.

Thank you for all you do to support the Poker Players Alliance. And rest assured that we are working tirelessly on your behalf.

Sincerely,

Michael Bolcerek,
president Poker Players Alliance
