Default Ask your Congressman to Support HR-2046

From the PPA:

----------
Dear Fellow PPA Member:

I have wonderful news to report! On Thursday, April 26, Rep. Barney Frank introduced HR 2046, the Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act of 2007. HR 2046 will lift the prohibition on playing poker online. Your efforts are making a difference!

Representative Frank is the Chairman of the important House Financial Services Committee. And he understands the injustice that we have suffered. When he introduced the bill, he told reporters that “The existing legislation is an inappropriate interference on the personal freedom of Americans and this interference should be undone”.

But he can’t do this job alone. Now, we need to help Congressman Frank build support for his bill.

You can regain your right to enjoy safe, secure online poker – but only if you stand up for your rights. And PPA is here to help you do just that.

This is a landmark day for freedom. But it is only the first step of the process. Join me in celebrating this milestone – and take action to build support for HR 2046.

or below to make your voice heard in our nation’s Capitol.

Sincerely,
Michael Bolcerek
President
Poker Players Alliance

Default If I could

I live in Canada, and calling my member of Parliament won't do a damned thing.

BUT, if you live in the US, NOW is the time to act. The legislation has been introduced to congress and originates from the chairman of the committee that is most influential in the specified area.

BUT its life or death rests in the votes of you local representatives. This is the time to call your congressman. This is the time to call your rep in the senate.

Good luck to my American brothers and sisters in this one.

I will post the PPA announcement on my other page.
