[Action Alert] Poker Players: The White House Is Taking Your Questions (03/25/09)

Poker Players Alliance: Join the Fight




*** Please Forward, Post, or Blog Information to Interested Audiences ***

PPA Members: Tell the Whitehouse to Protect Poker As President Obama continues to promote his proposed budget and efforts to fix the American economy – the White House has launched an “Open for Questions” feature on www.WhiteHouse.gov.

This feature allows the American people to ask questions about the economy – questions that President Obama will answer in an online town hall meeting this Thursday, March 26th.

As you know, licensing and regulation of online poker in the United States will allow for collection of lost revenue – generating billions in new tax revenue for our country according to a PricewaterhouseCoopers study.

We strongly urge all poker players to take a moment and let President Obama know;
  • Regulate Internet poker during the 111th Congress 
  • Regulation of online poker will bring billions of lost revenue back to the US and will also create new American jobs 
  • Regulation will protect America’s favorite game of skill and the individual freedoms of law-abiding Americans who love to play.  
This is a prime opportunity to put the issue of poker rights front and center – and by doing so we are all doing our part to help the American economy. Submit your questions at www.WhiteHouse.gov today!

PPA South Carolina Action Alert
We need as many South Carolina poker players as possible to attend two upcoming hearings on legislation important to all South Carolina poker players.

Senate President Pro Tem Glenn McConnell will be holding two public hearings to discuss S535 a bill that would legalize home poker games and also expand charity gaming (including charity poker tournaments) in the state.

South Carolina poker players will have a once in a life time opportunity to send a loud and clear message directly to our lawmakers in Columbia that our rights matter and that WE ARE NOT CRIMINALS!

The Poker Players Alliance (PPA) intends to use these hearings as a way to demonstrate poker players’ broad support for the proposed changes which will decriminalize playing poker from the comfort of our homes-however, WE NEED YOUR HELP. We need you, your poker buddies and dozens of PPA members to attend these very important public hearings. If we hope to reverse this outdated law all poker players must attend to show support. Our opposition will be there–you can count on it.

Please click here to fill out the RSVP form which will let us know if you can attend one or both of the public hearings. Join with us as we make a stand to say that Poker Is Not A Crime!

Public Hearing Details:

Date: Monday, March 23rd
Time: 5:30-7:30 pm
