After last weeks horrific display of a lop sided vote; the bill HR 4411 was passed inside the House of Representatives. 373 out of 465 voted for this bill brining it one step closer to it becoming a law; making it illegal to use the internet to play poker. It is now going to go before the Senate and if passed there, to the President.
I am writing you all with one simple message; please help us defend our rights to play online poker and keep the banks from monitoring our accounts for suspicious activities and to prevent the ISP's to shut down links to the sites i play on like Fulltilt and
Pokerstars. The Poker Players Alliance is the only organization defending your rights at the state and federal levels and with your help; we can be a much bigger threat when it goes before the Senate. Poker Players Alliance is a members based non-profit and we are currently at about 35k members.
I am not here to distract you from this forum but to hopefully get all of you to write your senators and let them know you are not going to sit down and take this without a fight. if you to our website which is
www.pokerplayersalliance.org or
www.keepitlegal.net or just cut and paste here:
