National Poker Week
The Poker Players’ Allicnace (PPA) has done some moving and shaking for the month of July. The week of July 19th through the 25th has been designated by the PPA as national online poker week, and boy do they have casino plans. According to press releases and their spokespersons, the PPA is planning on rallying it’s huge membership across the nation to send a message to American lawmakers that “We want to legally play poker.” National poker week events will be scheduled in Washington D.C. and across the country as the PPA’s way of making clear, that poker is important to the voters of the constituencies represented and it’s also “here to stay.” On the underground, there are also a lot of pro lobbying rallies going on to the D.C. congress, supported by former congressman D’Amato, PPA chairman and head spokesperson. One final thing, if you want to show your support, post the link on all the online poker blogs and forums to nationalpokerweek.com and have all the players you know, both online and live to sign the petition that will be presented to President Barack Obama. At the time of this writing, over 200k people have signed, and more are signing every day thanks to Full Tilt poker and Poker Stars, as they’re offering freerolls to players who have signed under their email addresses.
