PPA Washington Fly-In October 22nd thru 24th
I have some exciting news to report. The PPA just announced that it is hosting a Poker Policy Conference and two days of citizen advocacy in Washington D.C. The invite, which can be linked to below, was sent to PPA members who reside in the Congressional Districts of Members of Congress who serve on the House Judiciary and Financial Services Committees.
While our initial outreach is limited to those select PPA members, I do welcome all those interested in attending to plan to be in Washington. Simply send an email to the dedicated address wash-fly-in@pokerplayersalliance.org and you will receive a registration form and information about PPA hotel discounts. I hope active members of this forum will jump at the chance of meeting with your lawmakers in Washington and participating in the other activities we have planned. Again, more information can be found at this link: http://pokerplayersalliance.org/news...le.php?DID=270 John A. Pappas, Executive Director Poker Players Alliance |

Which Members of Congress serve on the House Judiciary and Financial Services Committees?
I'm not a PPA member yet, but things like this will make me reconsider. If my congressman is on the committee I would consider joining just to attend. |

I got the e-mail.
I probably will not be able to attend (but wish I could). What else is on the agenda? |

Obviously not everyone who wants to be active can attend the Washington Fly-In. Accordingly the PPA will be announcing -- in the coming weeks -- the components of a "virtual" Fly-In so those who cannot be in Washington will still have their voices heard. Please stay tuned.

Re: PPA Washington Fly-In October 22nd thru 24th
Hi Everyone:
I'm going to ask all our people who attend this to bring up the problems with transparency and the board makeup, specifically with the representation of the large affiliate sites and essentially no representtion of real poker players. I believe that until these problems are addressed and more improvement is made, they will be a deterrent towards any progress, and may eventually hurt the cause of making poker more accessible to everyone. Best wishes, Mason Malmuth |
