bryan,

i think ppa is non-effective atm. we have a bunch of stalled poker bills in congress, the UIEGA/whatever passed, the regulations are being written, a bunch of poker sites left us, and even the study bill looks like it won't be considered until next year or 2009. what exactly have you guys done? do you guys have any goals?

i also think in reality you guys have a minimal interacting/participating membership. most of your members only signed up because they were given bonuses at party to sign up, effectively getting the membership for free and getting some free money (bonus) on top of it; and the fact you guys also had a lousy public spokesperson for the longest that made me cringe every time i heard him speak, in my eyes, you guys are as ineffective as you are visible.

can you tell me(us) if the ppa is working to change this perception in the near future? if so, how?
