Interview with Michael Bolcerek, Pres. of PPA
 

Hey guys, good interview. Thought I'd share. For those of you who don't have the time to listen, Mr. Bolcerek was basically saying that there are 23 million online poker players in the USA while the PPA is only 120,000 strong. He needs members and he needs donations!!! Pony up the 20 bucks everyone, or you can kiss online poker bye bye.

Ehh, I'd suggest people don't bother. I don't think they did nearly enough with the 120,000 membership dues to earn themselves any more. It's too late for them to be a factor...they blew it.

Can you name any other group lobbying for us?

Re: Interview with Michael Bolcerek, Pres. of PPA
 

Vote democrat in the fall and try to convince everyone else you can to do the same = infinitely more valuable then sending $20 to these jokers.

Prove me wrong PPA! Here's your chance to convince us.

Give me $20 and I'll take care of it for you. (Just kidding.)

I think everyone is being a bit harsh on these guys. It's a new organization, just getting a start. Michael has been in the media the past few days getting the word out and it will take time and money to build a lobbying effort. Just by the fact that they have more members will give them some clout. Just my opinion, but I think we need to rally around someone and these guys are as good as anyone we have right now.

He has done more than anyone else has. look around he is the only voice we have so join and pay the $20.00 and cross your fingers.

Re: Interview with Michael Bolcerek, Pres. of PPA
 

Then let them come on here, the biggest online poker community in the world, and state their [censored] case in great detail. Make their best plea.

No offense, but I'm not sending them money purely on the urging of 2 people with 43 combined posts.

Also a good idea, but supporting a organization where we have one voice is needed also.

The Dems want to raise the rake on life, a.k.a. your taxes. Do everyone a favor and vote for whatever random third-party you can. It's not likely the two-party system will ever get broken, but when third parties do start getting more votes it does send a very strong message and both of the big two parties do start making changes.

So wrong...They need support to be effective..PPA was not founded until April..If you read any article or press release on the topic the PPA is always mentioned...They are working for us and need our support as well as the support of organizations such as 2+2...Just because this Bill got rammed thru does not mean the PPA failed us..

I don't know how to convince you, but it's only $20.00 bucks and can be made playing cards with one pot very easy.
I think it's a risk worth taking.
