Wednesday, the House Financial Services Committee will review a bill, H.R. 5767, that would block the implementation of UIGEA regulations. In order to get this bill out of Committee on onto the House Floor, we need your help. We need you to contact the committee and express your support for H.R. 5767, as well as the King amendment which will refine the bill language.

Happy New Year! Please read this important announcement. Poker needs you!
2008 will be a critical year for poker. The success and momentum we built
together in 2007 must continue into a more vocal and mobilized grassroots
efforts this year. We cannot move forward without broad support and active
involvement from our members. With that in mind, I am pleased to extend to you
an invitation to become a State Director for the Poker Players Alliance.

[MA] PPA Action Alert to all Mass. Members
By Poker Players Alliance
Friday, November 2nd, 2007
Recently, Governor Deval Patrick proposed a bill (H.4307, click here to read) that seeks to expand casino gambling in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This bill also includes a proposition that would make it a crime for you to play poker on the Internet (See: Section 15(h)(2)(i)). Under this provision, violators will be subject to a maximum term of 2 years in the house of correction, a fine of $25,000, or both. Ironically, H.4307 is pro-casino gambling legislation, yet it makes Internet gaming a crime. This is an unacceptable double-standard!
