Dear "full tilt player",
Poker is a game with a long, rich history. Whether played by politicians, professionals, or college professors, it's a game enjoyed by all sorts of people all around the world.
As an online poker player, you have probably heard about the UIGEA, which was signed into law by President Bush late last year. This bill, which aims to make it illegal for people to transfer money to online gaming sites, has - we believe - unfairly impacted online poker.
Although many legal scholars would argue that online poker should not be affected by the UIGEA, we believe the law's lack of clarity can only harm the game unless an express exemption is granted under the UIGEA. You should be outraged that, in a rush to passage, poker did not receive the objective review it deserves, and did not already get this exemption while lotteries, horse racing, and fantasy sports were all given free passes. We demand that Congress address this grievous oversight now.
Poker players need to fight back. That's why we're encouraging you to join the Poker Players Alliance and its new Chairman, poker enthusiast and former three-term Senator Al D'Amato. The PPA's primary goal for 2007 is to get poker the express exemption it deserves from the UIGEA and, with more than 18 years of experience on Capitol Hill, D'Amato knows how to make Congress listen to his point of view. Our goal is to ensure that Senator D'Amato's message is heard loud and clear. By mobilizing one million poker players to join the PPA they will listen, because a million voices can't be ignored!
Because we believe so strongly in this cause, we're offering you a special one-time incentive; join the PPA, and we'll enter you into a special Freeroll tournament where you can win one of 18 personalized Full Tilt Poker jerseys just like the ones our pros wear at televised tournaments around the world.
Let Congress know that you value all of your rights, including your right to play the great game of poker. Join the PPA today and let your voice be heard.
Sincerely,
Full Tilt Poker | |
All of the forums, news, events, etc. are migrated that I plan to migrate. Only thing left is migrating a ton of photos. And hooking up the photos in the forums and blogs...
Those are for another day...
I'm writing this just to create an initial entry in this blog. I've been working on the Ragged Aces site upgrade and I've made a lot of progress. A lot more is needed but I'm almost there...
