Old Thread before regulations were approved by the Fed
See here for latest information.
-Berge

Here's the PPA alert, to be sent to the entire membership tomorrow morning:


Just one week after a historic election the Poker Players Alliance is pitted in a fight to keep anti-Internet poker regulations from being enacted and we NEED YOUR HELP!

The current Administration is hastily finalizing a number of “midnight rules” before they leave office and the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) is on the list. See the 11/06 story in Dow Jones. Just like UIGEA was snuck into legislation in the dark of night in 2006, our opponents are again trying an 11th hour sneak job. We need you to help us expose and stop this reckless rulemaking.

Please call the U.S. Federal Reserve and tell them not to approve the UIGEA regulations -- Consumer Complaints, 888-851-1920 or Public Affairs, 202-452-2955.

Tell them:
  • The federal agencies responsible for our nation’s economy should not be focused on Internet poker regulations.
  • Finalization of the UIGEA rules will add additional burdens on our already crippled financial systems.
  • Internet poker is a game of skill and form of recreation for millions of Americans; it should be exempted from the UIGEA.
  • Please do not finalize the UIGEA regulations until their impact on our banking systems and average Americans has been fully studied.
Your call will make a huge difference and will add the public’s voice to these last minute policy decisions our government is poised to make. We can’t stand idly by while they make decisions that will impact our right to play America’s card game. PLEASE CALL TODAY!

re: Old Thread before regulations were approved by the Fed
Are you saying the the FED must approve the regulations even after they have already been submitted to the OMB? If true this is great, offers one more good opportunity

Thanks for the info,

Jimbo

That's correct. The FED must approve them for them to go into effect.

Mason please advertise this sitewide. It has little to do with PPA and everything to do with pokers future.

Called and left message at the 888 number.

I'd be happy just to see them stay unlocked. Maybe 2+2 will let this one go for a few days so others can hear about it.
