PPA Still Active for Online Casinos

The industry media and news outlets have not really mentioned the Poker Players Alliance much lately, but it’s important to know that this major group has not got silent after all of these years lobbying for the legalization of internet poker. In actuality, the PPA has been working behind the scenes on a campaign to get more Congressional backers for the current bills to legalize poker and even the online casinos. In the past several months an awareness has taken over Congress as the lobbyist really spread the message about the US’ currently protectionist and freedom-inhibiting gambling regulations. The offshore and remote online casinos and poker sites are banned from the US market and conservatives and liberals alike are concerned that the UGIEA and bans restrict personal freedoms.

Many of the Democrats already support the efforts to pass new and more inclusive online casino gambling regulations and so the big focus right now is on bringing more Conservatives into support and alliance with the bills that would legalize forms of internet gambling in the US. The PPA has recruited Greg Raymer for the second year in a row now to attend and participate in the Conservative Political Action Conference that will take place in Washington, D.C. The conference will have all of the major conservatives spokespeople in attendance – the big names that make headlines like Ann Coulter and other politicians like Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty, and Glenn Beck.

There is a strong hope that Republicans, a group that traditionally really supports American free rights, will begin to openly support efforts to legalize online casino and poker gambling regulations. Only four Republicans currently support the internet gambling bills – four out of the 34 that have already pledged their votes and support. By attending the conference the PPA hopes to add a few more names to the Congressional support roster.
