HEADLINE: Poker Players Alliance Calling all
Online Gamblers
Body:
The Pokers Players Alliance is urging all members to call your
Representative in support of HR 2046 which is the Internet Gambling
Regulation & Enforcement Act 2007 that was introduced by Representative
Barney Frank.
The PPA blasted emails to almost $500,000 members asking people
to take action and tell your Rep "You are a constituent and
voter in the district and that you support HR 2046 to protect
your rights to play poker online. Ask your Representative to attend
the hearing on Friday, learn more about the issue, and support
and cosponsor HR 2046." You can call 202-225-3121.
The Poker Players Alliance id designed to protect Americans rights
to play poker online. Former Senator Alfonse D'Amato is the chairman
and leader in the fight for poker.
In other online gambling news, like we reported several weeks
ago, Representative Bob Wexler of Florida will introduce a bill
on Thursday that will carve out exemptions for online poker, mahjong
and other games of skill.
Friday the U.S. House Committee on Financial Services will hold
a hearing on internet gambling. The hearing topic will be referenced
as "Can Internet Gambling Be Effectively Regulated to Protect
Consumers and the Payments System?" The hearing is by invitation
only at 10 a.m. on Friday, June 8, 2007.
The biggest benefit of this hearing will get more people discussing
internet gambling. The UIGEA was attached to an important Port
Security Bill at the eleventh hour and passed without debate.
Americans should have the right to debate any freedom that one
experiences in the privacy of their own home before it's taken
away and the online gambling industry will finally have a voice
and it's just getting started.
