The Poker Players Alliance (PPA) is once again stepping up their campaign for legalized and regulated online poker. The leading poker grassroots advocacy group has announced plans to fly 30 of its volunteer State directors and some professional poker players out to Washington D.C. on May 23rd and the 24th to speak with members of Congress who are crucial to getting legislation passed.

"Our members are anxious to get to Washington and tell their lawmakers to restore their freedom to play poker on the Internet," said PPA Chairman, Former Senator Alfonse D'Amato. "During our fly in, members of Congress will meet firsthand with constituents who have been impacted by the lack of clarity in the law and the recent actions taken by the Department of Justice to shutdown Internet poker."

In addition to the flying out its top members, the group is also encouraging its one million strong members to come out to Washington and meet with their Congressional representatives. The group will be providing its members with all the information and tools they need to arrange a meeting with members of congress and will be setting up social events for poker players to meet with other's fighting for their cause.

"We have heard from our members and there is urgency in their voices - they want Congress, now more than ever, to establish common sense public policy that regulates online poker and gives adults the freedom to enjoy our nation's favorite card game on the Internet. We will be coming to Washington at a perfect time. There is a raging debate in Congress about how to fund necessary programs, create U.S. jobs and also expand the freedoms of our citizens. Regulated Internet poker is a common-sense solution that can help Congress tackle all three of these priorities. There is no time to waste," said John Pappas, executive director of the PPA. "Given the events of April 15th and the beginning of the World Series of Poker in late May, now is the time for PPA members to make their voices heard in the offices of their elected officials. Now is the time for Congress to act and protect Americans' freedom to play poker online."
