PPA in action again
After the US government presented a new communication site titled "We the People," with an aim to create American jobs in a stagnating economy, the Poker Players Alliance reacted by filing a new petition whose goal is to get the attention of US administration officials and lawmakers and point to them that the legalization of online poker and internet gambling in general could be of much help in achieving this goal.
If the Association managed to collect over 5000 signatures within 30 days, it may be able to draw the attention of the authorities who have a growing appetite for online gambling tax revenues. And having in mind the number of online players - tens of thousands daily- and the claimed 10 million players of poker, these numbers should be reached in no time.
According to PPA Player Relations VP Rich Muny, "I wish to thank the entire poker community for the outstanding work in telling our elected officials that we demand action on the online poker issue.
“We as individuals have sent over 100,000 letters to lawmakers and made countless phone calls to lawmakers this year alone. We have also posted thousands of pro-poker statements to their Facebook walls, while also sending them thousands of pro-poker Twitter messages."
