Is gambling911 a reputable site? I see it quoted a lot and have no idea who they are. [/ QUOTE ] In my opinion, their reporting should always be taken with a large grain of salt.

Re: Online Poker Inches Closer to Exemption
the PPA is right in the middle of what's going on in DC. They need as many members to sign up as possible.
You can now even become a member for FREE, for all the people who think they're getting screwed. If you think the PPA is a fraud, fine, sign up for free. There's no harm in signing up for free.

For what it's worth, I've spent the last couple of days calling various Senators and Reps and speaking with their aides. All of them, both for and against online poker, have mentioned the PPA.

[/ QUOTE ] I'm intested in hearing more. What was the general sentiment towards both online poker and the PPA?

Re: Online Poker Inches Closer to Exemption
I called my Rep. Trent Franks he is opposed to online gambling on moral grounds. His aide that deals with this is Jeff Chowdry (sp?) the phone number to reach him in DC is 202-225-4576 if anyone is interested. (maybe you've just had a bad session and need to take it out on someone)
John Kyl's office claims to be opposed simply and specifically "because it is illegal." Aide Tom Humphrey 202-224-4521 John McCain's office feels the Senate has more important things to worry about, but is upset with the underhanded methods used to pass the legislation last year. Stated that I should find someone to sponsor opposing legislation, but stated they would not sponsor this. They did give me the feeling that they would support it though. Lee Corosi 202-224-2235 we might actually make some headway here. Didn't get much on how anyone felt about the PPA other than that they were all familiar with it, which would imply that the PPA is making some noise.
