Raising More Funds

The Poker Players’ Alliance has announced that the group has reached the one million member mark and is now prepared to spend the rest of 2008 doing some serious lobbying for the online casinos poker gambling cause. The PPA is a group of members all over the United States banning together to legalize online poker gambling either through legislation carve-outs or through the neutralization/repeal of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA). The group has focused the past few months on boosting membership to that coveted one million mark, and now that that has been reached, the focus is shifting onto raising enough money to support the PPA’s online casinos poker lobbying interests.

Now that the group has reached a million members the Alliance’s leaders, John Pappas and Alfonse D’Amato feel that they have some serious lobbying power that may actually influence politicians and members of Congress to effect change in the current restrictive U.S. online casinos gambling laws. The current fundraising goal the group announced includes plans to raise at least US $250,000 which will go toward the Poker Political Action Committee (Poker PAC). That is in addition to any funds that the group may spend in additional lobbying toward further educating members of Congress on the current U.S. online casinos gambling laws.

A large amount of the new surge in membership and interest in the PPA comes from the national interest that the online casinos gambling debate has caused in the United States. The PPA has ridden the coattails of last month’s Congressional hearing and the many discussions and extensive media coverage on the issue.
