PPA Present at 2008 WSOP

Poker Fans at the 2008 WSOP will be able to stand up for their rights as poker players to those involved in the making of involved policies at this years World Series events. The Poker Players Alliance, (PPA) known as a leader when it comes to advocating for the rights of freedom in concern with gambling and playing poker online.

The Poker Advocacy team will have a booth at this years game, located right outside of the WSOP tournament doors. (Just outside the Amazon room at the Rio in Vegas.)

According to spokespersons from the PPA, poker players and fans will be presented with several ways to speak up for freedom and the right to play poker online, in our living rooms, through the use of our own computers.

"We have come a long way in educating members of Congress and state elected officials that poker is a game of skill and is not a crime. Yet the threats to our right to play this great game are not going away," said former Senator Alfonse D'Amato, chairman of the PPA. "The PPA's Poker Advocacy Booth makes it easy for poker aficionados at the WSOP to make their voices heard. We are very excited to bring our grassroots efforts to poker's hallowed ground, and we are grateful that Harrah's and the WSOP have provided us with premium space to get our message out to the poker community."

The booth will be open daily during the 2008 WSOP. Visitors will be given an opportunity to view videos and online displays of information showing the importance of PPA membership, as well as an overview of the advocacy efforts made by the PPA to date.
