The U.S. Senate is Seeking to Ban Online Poker
PPA Phone March on Capitol Hill Scheduled for Sept. 12

Dear PPA Member:

Your urgent action is needed! On September 12th the Poker Players
Alliance with the support of leading poker blogs and forums,
PocketFives.com, Wicked Chops Poker and others are organizing a “Phone March” on
Capitol Hill. From 9:00 AM Eastern Time, until 5:30 PM Eastern Time on
Tuesday, September 12th, we are asking all PPA members and anyone
interested in defending poker to call this toll free number, 800-289-1136 and
be patched through to one of your two U.S. Senators in Washington D.C.
When you call the 800 number you will hear a recording from fellow PPA
member Greg “Fossilman” Raymer and then you will be prompted to enter
your five digit zip code so you can be directed, free of charge, to your
Senator’s office.

Note: The 800 number will only be active between 9:00 AM EST and 5:30
PM EST on Tuesday September 12.

Key points you should make:

* I am voter in your state.
* I strongly oppose any legislation that would prohibit online poker,
and urge the Senator to vote against such legislation.
* Poker is a skill game enjoyed by 70 Million Americans.
* The Senator should seek to regulate online poker much like the
government regulates other forms of gaming, like lotteries.
* Prohibitions don’t work. Any legislation that tries to ban online
poker will only drive those players underground.
* Again, I urge the Senator to oppose any attempts to prohibit me from
playing the great American game of poker on the Internet.

The threat to poker is real. Please forward this information to
everyone you know who cares about poker and an American’s freedom to use the
Internet. We need everyone possible to make their voice heard on
September 12th!

Sincerely,

Michael Bolcerek
President
Poker Players Alliance

Is there a website that explains each Senator's stance on the issue?

Worst case would be a "ban" effective January 1, 2007.
