Recess is the Order of the Day

Alfonse D’Amato is well known among politicians as of late for his outspoken support of legislation that neutralizes the online casino and poker ban known as the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. D’Amato has led fight to re-legalize online casinos poker in the United States through the Poker Players’ Alliance (PPA). D’Amato is Chairman of the PPA and also a former Senator, so he definitely knows the ins and outs of politics and is fast on the way to gaining enough political and non-political support (from Americans) to actually affect change.

Over the past several months D’Amato has made numerous appearances and spoken out to the American public about the importance of protecting civil liberties by overturning the online casino ban. The initial focus at the PPA was to really go out into communities all over America and find online casinos poker players willing to join the PPA – and it looks as though the efforts have worked because the group grows nearer everyday to the desired 1 million registered PPA members and is currently at over 700,000 members.

Te goal of 1 million members was set as a target goal because with that amount of support politicians are forced to take notice. And just last month D’Amato urged members of the PPA, and all online casino poker players for that matter to write letters to their state representatives urging them to support two current bills that would effectively neutralize the UIGEA. Now though D’Amato has gone one step further since the U.S. Congress has just gone into its fall recess, he is urging players and PPA members to actually attend events in their representative’s jurisdiction and personally address the issue.

D’Amato says in a letter to PPA members and all online casinos players, "Congress is in recess for August and your Representative will be returning home to host local events and town hall meetings. These are great opportunities to tell them that poker is not a crime and to support H.R. 2046, the Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act and H.R. 2610, the Skill Game Protection Act.”
