Default Re: Time to have our voices heard - Criticism of the PPA

[ QUOTE ]


The fact that this isn't already happening concerns me. Combined with the reservations of Mason et al - is enough to make me very wary of giving them my money.

You would listen to them why? because they fought tooth and nail to stop this bill?


LOL, all of this is kind of ridiculous. I joined the PPA and actually got 5 bucks out of the deal. Again it was a riskless transaction. What are they going to do abscond with our 20 bucks and live the high life in Thailand?

Nate had a post that laid out much of what PPA has and has not done and mentioned their lobbying team. Lobbying teams by the way do not come cheap. They also organzied a National phone campaign which in and of itself was 100x more then almost any organization with a vested interest against this legislation did.

Everybody wants to blame the PPA, a rather new organization and most every poker player never even lifted a finger to stop this nonsense. Maybe, instead of pointing blame we can take some sort of action and get Poker regulated........... nah that would make too much sense.

BTW, I am not saying they did a great job, but all everyone here does is criticize and nitpick. They at least tried. There is ample evidence to support this.
