John McCain Says No to Online Poker

I just received an e-mail from the PPA (Poker Players Alliance) and unfortunately Republican Presidential Nominee John McCain has made his stance against online poker. This is definitely not good news for online poker players as it decreases our chances of getting this horrible legislation, the UIGEA, repealed. Here is the part of the e-mail that discusses John McCain.

“Republican presidential nominee John McCain needs to hear from you TODAY. This week, the Republican Platform Committee included language in the party platform (a document outlining the priorities of the GOP) that supports efforts to outlaw online poker and other forms of online gaming. This is especially troubling given that hundreds of PPA members and poker enthusiasts contacted the Platform Committee and stated their preference that the GOP not include anti-online gaming language in this year’s platform like they did in 2000 and 2004. Sadly, the GOP ignored these calls and decided to abdicate core conservative principles in favor of a “nanny-state” approach to governance.”

Hopefully the Democratic Nominee, Obama, will realize how ridiculous legislation against online poker is and take the opposite stance. We need to take a stance against this. Check out the PPA website to see what you can do to help. They have pre-written forms you can send your congressman to show you are against the online poker ban.
