In the seemingly never-ending battle between online poker and American Congress, the PPA feels it serves thier members best interest to know where each member of Congress stands in this fight. The guide ranks every member of Congress whom has either fought for, or against online poker in any way.
Out of the current total of 535 members of Congress, 164 members have received a rating of 'B' or higher noting their strong support for the online poker. Unfortunately 258 members scored a 'D' or 'F'. With almost half of the total members of Congress still so adamantly against online poker, the PPA still has a lot of work ahead of them. (If you're wondering where the remaining members of Congress rate, unfortunately the PPA has no data on them or their stance on the matter)
The PPA derived their ratings from co-sponsorship of bills, Congressional letters of support, public statements and private meetings with the PPA and its members rather than actual votes on pro poker bills.
The guide is updated periodically as new data comes in and is searchable by state and zip code. Users have the ability to directly email members of Congress from the guide to voice their support of the pro poker cause.
The Poker Players Alliance (www.pokerplayersalliance.org) is a nonprofit membership organization comprised of over 1 million online and offline poker players and enthusiasts from around the United States who have joined together to speak with one voice to promote the game and to protect poker player rights.
