On May 27th you are invited to join poker legend and fellow Washington resident Phil Gordon and PPA Chairman U.S. Senator Alfonse D’Amato for a “poker rally” on the north steps of the state Capitol in Olympia, WA. Meet Phil and other Washington state poker players as we stand in support of the PPA’s Supreme Court challenge to the ridiculous law that makes playing online poker in Washington a crime on par with convicted child pornographers!

This will be a fun event and it also plays an important part as we fight to protect your rights to play poker – all you have to do is show up! It’s that simple.

Join with us as we make a stand to say that Poker Is Not A Crime!
