PPA Pushes For Poker Law

In the wake of poker's “Black Friday” poker advocacy group the Poker Player's Alliance is pushing for the legalization of online poker. Poker players that make up the group include big name pros as well as celebrities. Black Friday was when the US Department of Justice grabbed the domain names of three major online poker rooms and started arresting people connected to their operations. In the last two weeks the PPA has pushed their agenda of legalizing online poker via emails and phone calls, attempting to use the attention Black Friday gained for their industry to their advantage.
