I'm hearing we'll get a six month extension on UIGEA, but I don't yet have final confirmation. You all know I wouldn't post it unless I were reasonably sure of my information. I'll post info as it becomes available.

Needless to say, this will wake up our opposition. We need to stay ahead of this. I urge everyone to do the following: call both of your senators and your representative and tell them that UIGEA needs to be scrapped. Info is at http://capwiz.com/pokerplayersalliance/home. Also, I'll write new letters for the PPA's letter to Congress site, so please send in the old one this week and the new one next week. Thanks!

Good news, TE.

But why six instead of 12?

This could be great news! I'll be eagerly waiting for some more news.

lozing

I think they want to see progress on legislation. I believe the 12/3 hearing is to discuss the shortcomings of the UIGEA regs and on what the ultimate solution will be.

that instantly put a smile onmy face!

Is there any chance this will just lead to harsher regs?

There's always a chance of anything happening, but I think we're too strong now to be the big target.

This is amazing news if it turns out to be true! I honestly thought we had virtually no chance of this happening.

Thank you PPA.

I like that you said you're hearing we will get one instead of we May get one. Hopefully this word choice reflects reality, because if the PPA can claim victory even in a 6 month extension it would be huge both for the cause and for PPA fundraising/membership. I know I'd be inspired to make a nice donation.

Party is up big today. http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=prty.l

I am going out on a limb and saying that this is a lock.

Woot! Thanks for all the hard work. Let's keep the momentum going!

Why would this help party?

cause then they consider re-entering US market. i think could be wrong

Good job. This is just the beginning of great things to come for PPA.

HELL YESSS!!! WOOOO!!!!
