Last Action for National Poker Week: Call Your Members of Congress

From: PPA Action Alert
Subject: Last Action for National Poker Week: Call Your Members of Congress

Dear Readers,

National Poker Week has been a huge success and thanks to you and others, we have had great results:

Over 375,000 have signed the petition for President Obama
Over 200,000 letters have been sent to Congress
More than 100 face-to-face meetings with Members of U.S. House and Senate or their staffs

However, one last action is needed to make National Poker Week truly something to be remembered. Call your Members of Congress and let them know that you support the PPA and sensible poker legislation.

Take a few moments to call each of your Members of Congress and tell them the following:

You are a constituent, voter, and poker player

Please support legislation to license and regulate internet poker (in the U.S. House the bill is HR 2267, a U.S. Senate bill will be introduced later this month.)

Regulation is the best way to protect consumers and will raise billions in revenue for our country

Support my right to play America's favorite game of skill

Be sure to call your Members of Congress between 9am - 5pm EST:
Sen. Richard Burr - (202) 224-3154
Sen. Kay R. Hagan - (202) 224-6342
Represenative - Phone

After your call, click here to let us know how the call went. This is important for tracking calls to Members of Congress.

Thank you for your continued efforts.Let our poker freedom ring their phones!
Senator Alfonse D’Amato
PPA Chairman
