Online Casino Reviews reported earlier last month that The Poker Players Alliance had every intention of making Washington part of “The National Poker Week”. The time has come and The Poker Players Alliance is in Washington and has already scheduled almost 100 meetings with members of Congress and their aides.
One of their main goals this week, is to present President Barack Obama with a petition tomorrow with over 350,000 signatures on it in support of Barney Frank’s Bill. Not only will the PPA be there showing support, but famous Professional poker Players such as, Annie Duke, Howard Lederer, Andy Bloch, and Greg Raymer will be there supporting their beloved profession.
Tonight, the PPA is holding a Charity Poker tournament with proceeds going to the USO and Walter Reed Army Medical Center. This past Monday, the players hosted a congressional staff briefing, showing how online poker can be regulated to over 20 offices that attended the meetings. Along with presenting regulation, they also had a demonstration from WiredSafty.org to show the effective ways to keep minors off the gambling websites.
The Christian Coalition of America is still very active in expressing that they are against online gaming. They feel it will break up the family, therefore create more bad than good. The PPA and Rep. Barney Frank beg to differ with the CCA and will continue in their efforts to present the President with petition “Poker is Not a Crime”. Online gaming is a billion dollar industry in which is can not be ignored much longer.
