Dear Fellow PPA Member:
As your chairman, it brings me great pride to report that HR 2046 is beginning to move through the legislative process. Your grassroots efforts are making an enormous difference!
HR 2046 was introduced on April 26, 2007 by House Financial Services Committee Chairman Rep. Barney Frank. If HR 2046 becomes law, online poker will be safe, secure and regulated.
The bill would create stringent licensing to ensure that poker players and consumers are protected.
Thanks to the great work of grassroots poker activists like you, HR 2046 will have a hearing in the House Financial Services Committee on Friday, June 8th. But your Representative, who is a member of this important committee, still has not agreed to cosponsor this common-sense reform bill.
Please take a moment - right now, before the hearing on Friday June 8th - to call your Representative. Please ask them to attend the Friday hearing so they can learn more about this important subject.
As a former Senator, I can tell you that lawmakers need to hear this kind of feedback. They need to know what the voters back home are thinking.
Please call the Capitol switchboard at 202-225-3121. Give the operator your ZIP code and you will be connected to your Representative's office. Tell them:
- You are a constituent and voter in the district (they may ask for your address to confirm that you live in the district. Please furnish this information if they ask.)
- You support HR 2046 to protect your rights to play poker online
- Ask your Representative to attend the hearing on Friday, learn more about the issue, and support and cosponsor HR 2046.
And stay tuned for more updates, as Congress continues to move closer to protecting our rights to play the great game of poker. Together, we will prevail!
Sincerely,
The Honorable Alfonse D'AmatoPPA Chairman
