The Poker Players Alliance in full force
The Poker Players Alliance has been in full force -Â working to reach their goal of legalization of online poker games. The group has been working toward this goal with the hope that online poker will become legal or at least see an exception to the current laws. This week the group is expected to announce that they have reached the one million member mark. The group is based in Washington DC and is a pro-online poker group.
With the announcement the group will also be releasing the information of their new political action committee and a voter registration drive as well. The Poker Player’s Alliance has a campaign titled *If You Play - Have a Say campaign.* The group has invested largely in lobbying on Capitol Hill.
The PPA signed thousands of new members when the UIGEA bill was passed and since then membership has continued to climb. The PPA is hoping to raise at least $250,000 to fund the new political action committee this year. During this year’s WSOP the PPA will have representatives at the event that will be able to give information about the group, sign people up as members and also register voters for the upcoming presidential election. People will also be able to email members of Congress from the WSOP event by using computer terminals the PPA will have available.
Hopefully the movement will continue and the PPA will be able to gain more members this year and provide a driving force at this year’s most important election. Not only for online poker rights but also many major factors that are on the line with this year’s election.
