The Poker Players Alliance is a nonprofit organization that consists of poker players and poker enthusiasts who have joined together in order to promote the game, ensure its integrity, and protect the rights of poker players... and I'm a proud member! I joined the PPA a little over a year ago and it's really growing. The Alliance is now boasting over 930,000 members and still climbing in hopes of reaching 1,000,000 members. If you're a poker player or just have a thing for the game, please sign up. You can do so for free, but there are other levels of membership to help donate to the cause.
When the UIGEA was put into play, but PPA vowed to fight against it in order to right things. In 2005, the PPA spent nearly $260,000 and in 2006, they spent $540,000 lobbying against the bill. This past year it was $940,000 spent in lobbying efforts to help retract the UIGEA and get things back on the upside for the poker players. I am proud to have dedicated some time and some of my money to this cause and I really feel everyone should do the same. Even if you don't have any extra cash to spare, you can sign up for free and send a letter to your Congressman in order to help push the cause. The more people we have behind us, the better the lobbying will go.
I highly encourage everyone to get on this and help the push on Washington to get the UIGEA removed. Join now!
