Former United States Senator Al D'Amato, chairman of the board for the the Poker Players Alliance will be addressing his new audience from across the US versus just his home state of New York on April 12th. The poker webcast with Senator D'Amato is allowing anyone with questions or concerns with the fight to retain internet poker as an option of play for US citizens since the restrictions added on by the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act passed several months ago.

If you are a member of the PPA, here is the email you should have received to participate on the live discussion in a public forum with players who have similar concerns about the future of internet poker:

Dear PPA Member:

As the fight for poker continues, the PPA grows stronger by the day. In the past two months, PPA membership has more than doubled to nearly 320,000 members! This exciting growth is pushing us closer to our 1 million member goal.

As most of you know, it was recently announced that three-term U.S. Senator Alfonse D'Amato has joined the PPA to serve as the Chairman of the Board. His decades of public service and deep understanding of the political process will be instrumental in our efforts to ensure that you can continue to enjoy the game of poker in the venue of your choosing.

The PPA is providing a unique chance for you to hear from the Senator and ask him questions about the future of poker. On Thursday, April 12th at 3pm EST the PPA will host an interactive Webcast. The Senator will give you an update of the federal government issues facing poker today and what the PPA is doing to fight for your rights. You have the opportunity to send e-mail questions before and during the Webcast which the Senator will answer live.

Participation is easy and I encourage everyone to be part of this exciting discussion.

If you would like to send a question ahead of time you can send to AskAl@pokerplayersalliance.org

Sincerely,

Michael Bolcerek, President
Poker Players Alliance
