Poker Players Alliance Infiltrates Main Stream Media

The Poker Players Alliance has united and is set to bring their battle to Washington as they plan on convincing legislators that the game of Poker is one of skill, and not luck.

Professional poker players Chris Moneymaker and Annie Duke will be some of the people on hand when the group travels to Washington. The main focus will be on creating an image of a game of skill, but any information the group brings will help in the efforts to change last years ill advised Internet gaming bill.

The PPA is receiving press of all kinds as of late, just yesterday the USA Today did an extensive article detailing all of the good that the PPA has done, as well as explaining the points of view of the group.

The AP has also done reporting on their actions, as well as Market Watch, and other mainstream media publications, as the PPA has become the premier organization and voice for poker players who are fed up with the U.S. laws.

Al D'Amato, former United States Senator and current PPA chairman, will also be attending the groups visit to Washington, and he says the goals of the trip are very clear, "We want to demonstrate to the public, to the members of Congress, that this is a game of skill."

The PPA is hoping that its representatives, which are a small sample of the 809,000 members, will convince legislators that changes need to be made to a bill that is currently affecting millions of poker players in the U.S.
