HAVE YOU SIGNED THE PPA PETITION? (Update)
17 July 2009
300 428 have already
The Poker Players Alliance has given an update on the
petition for the legalisation of online poker which
forms part of their National Poker Week initative (see
previous InfoPowa report), and advises that so far some
300 428 American poker lovers have added their
signatures.
PPA chief John Pappas says that the
process is streamlined and takes less than 30 seconds,
with those interested entering in their first names,
last name, e-mail address, street address, city, state,
zip code, and a special authentication code.
The
introductory paragraph of the petition affirms: “I am a
voter and a fellow poker player asking for your support
of my right to play games of skill like poker on the
internet.”
The PPA plans to present the petition
to President Obama on July 22nd during a Washington DC
fly-in by leading poker personalities, also a part of
the National Poker Week activities to create awareness
of the demand for a more enlightened legislative
approach to the legalised online poker.
PPA and
other personalities will meet with politicians to push
for their support of Congressman Barney Frank's HR 2267,
a bill to regulate and license online gambling in the
United States that has already attracted 42 sponsors.
The PPA also plans to host a charity poker tournament.
The response to "My Poker Story" - a website that
allows players to submit videos explaining why the game
is important to them - has also been positive, with
personalities like Mike Sexton, Kenna James and Howard
Lederer all submitting videos.
