Online Poker Room Urges Congressional Action From Poker Fans

By launchpoker, Jun 13, 2006

With the currently frosty atmosphere in Washington these days, it is no wonder that online poker rooms are getting jumpy. Perhaps this is why Pocket Fives is trying to beat the grass to stir up enough action to get some attention in congress. With their "Write your congressperson" day, Pocket Fives is hoping that poker players will take time off form their busy schedule to contact their state reprehensive and let them know exactly how they feel about the legality of online poker.



The campaign, with support and organization from the Poker Players Alliance, aims to get as many people as possible to write a letter to their congressman and urge them to consider the positive aspects of a legal online poker system in the US, which currently furnishes some 80% of a two billion dollar industry with its profits.
