Please allow me to introduce myself

[PPABryan]

Hello 2+2 Community,



My Name is Bryan Spadaro. I would like to introduce myself to this community, and felt this would be the best area for me to begin. I just started, today no less, with the Poker Players Alliance, as the Manager of Membership Relations. A little bit about myself, I am 24 years old, and have been working here in Washington for almost 2 years now. I was formerly with the PAC of the American Medical Association, one of the largest PAC's in the country. Before moving to DC, I attended Tulane University, where poker paid my tuition and rent the last two years I was in school. I have participated in the last two WSOP's and even managed to sneak my way in and bubble a final table. I now take over membership relations here at the PPA at a very exciting time. The Fly-In last week was a rousing success, and we earned support for our position amongst key Members of Congress. The Judiciary committee has also taken a keen interest in our struggle, and this can only be seen as promising. I am really looking forward to working with our members in the future and I am very excited to have joined this fight against prohibition. Please do not hesitate to contact me at any time, member or non-member, hopefully you will become a member after talking with me, and you can reach me at bryan@pokerplayersalliance.org



Thanks, and lets work together to get poker back where it belongs, in the open and free to be played anywhere in America!!

Thank you very much. I am new to this forum, so bear with me as I learn to navigate it, but I can assure you I will be here regularly, sharing current information in the struggle we are involved in here in Washington and across the country!!

Glad to have you on board here. Exciting and scary time for online poker, I am happy there is more "firepower" to let us know what is going on.

Welcome Bryan.

The first thing you must learn when posting on forums is that you live in The District of Columbia or DC, not Washington.

It helps clarify things and I personally don't know any DC residents that refer to themselves as living in "Washington", that term is generally reserved for those in The State of Washington.

Good luck and we're all hoping you do well in your endeavors.

.... Actually, good of you to drop in.

Can you address the assertion that Barry G made about "legalized" online poker in the US in 6 months ?

what projection, if any, do you think is realistic ?

Was the interested Judiciary Committee the Senate or House Judiciary Committee ?

Was there a different level of interest in the different bills/proposals ?

Thanks for your insight.
