Going for the Hardballs

It may seem strange to tackle your strongest opposition when you’re looking for support in the political arena, but that is just what the Poker Players Alliance is aiming for with definite moves and appeals to some of the most die-hard conservatives in Washington. Basically, the PPA, a lobbying group with the legalization of the online casino poker gambling industry as its main concern attended the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) last week with the hopes of gaining a bit more support from the right side of the government. The online caisno gambling issue has fallen out of favor a bit lately as the new presidential administration has a lot on their hands with the current recession and the state of the economy.

But that doesn’t mean that the PPA isn’t still wholly invested in the issue and still making every effort to keep the spotlight on the controversy surrounding the UIGEA and it’s questionable ethical banning of offshore online casinos and internet poker companies from the US market. The PPA has the support of a majority of Washington’s Democrats, and since that is the case the conservatives have become a very large target for the PPA. Naturally then, CPAC, which is the largest gather of political conservatives in Washington would attract the attention of the PPA.

The PPA strongly feels that if it can gain even a bit of support from the political conservatives on the issue of legalizing internet poker (the PPA doesn’t necessarily lobby for the entire online casino gambling industry but rather just the internet poker sector) that real change could be voted into effect in Congress. Even though the PPA has been building support for more than two years now, actual supporters in Washington still remains the key to success for the online poker industry and its supporters.
