The Poker Players Alliance (PPA) has planned a poker webcast on Thursday, April 12, where Chairman of the Board Senator Alfonso D'Amato will talk about the future of online poker.
Michael Bolcerek, the President of the PPA, posted on his blog: "As most of you know, it was recently announced that three-term U.S. Senator Alfonse D'Amato has joined the PPA to serve as the Chairman of the Board. His decades of public service and deep understanding of the political process will be instrumental in our efforts to ensure that you can continue to enjoy the game of poker in the venue of your choosing.
The PPA is providing a unique chance for you to hear from the Senator and ask him questions about the future of poker. On Thursday, April 12th at 3pm EST the PPA will host an interactive Webcast. The Senator will give you an update of the federal government issues facing poker today and what the PPA is doing to fight for your rights. You have the opportunity to send e-mail questions before and during the Webcast which the Senator will answer live."
Register for the event at the PPA website.
Senator D'Amato is currently working on legislation to repeal the UIGEA. The Las Vegas Review Journal published an interesting interview with the Senator which you can read here.
