Fact: The truth is the PPA only recently decided to try and focus on the players in this country post Black Friday because they lost their cash cow in the sites. Most PPA members arent paid members and now the PPA needs players funds to support their activites but you dont see the PPA coming out and hammering the sites for not paying (cant bite the hand that fed them in the past).

Fact: Reality is the PPA is nothing but an impotent organization which after years has proven to be ineffective for poker players and being the voice of poker players. The should change their name to the OPPA since they only seem to be focused with online poker players and even that is questionable.

Imo, you would get a better response if you did this during the work week and not a holiday weekend.

I met with my Congressman's staff earlier this week to ask for his support the upcoming bill by Rep. Barton licensing online poker. I ask that the entire committee support this important legislation.

Many other poker players are ensuring that they are being heard as well. We care, and we vote.

• The House Financial Services Committee's Facebook page is here.
• Let's get some posts on the House Committee on Energy and Commerce page (here)
• The Dept. of Justice's page is here.
• Senators' FB pages: Senator Facebook Listing
• We need lots of posts on the issue of poker and lots of "liking" of pro-poker comments.
