PPA In Action: Washington State Rally
On May 15 nearly 80 PPA members including Andy Bloch and Barry Greenstein rallied against a state law that makes it a felony to play poker on the Internet. This ridiculous law is being challenged in court by PPA State Director Lee Rousso. On the 15th the court upheld the law, but Mr. Rousso has pledged to appeal the decision.

Are You A Lawyer? Poker Players Need You!
Poker Players Alliance launched its Litigation Support Network. We are asking PPA members and non-members who are attorneys to join this network of lawyers who are willing to assist PPA members in need of counsel in civil and criminal poker related matters. If you are a lawyer with expertise or interest in gaming law become part of our referral network today!
The PPA has appointed PPA New Hampshire State Director Patrick Flemming (aka Skallagrim) to serve as the Litigation Support Director. Through our legal page on the Web site, PPA members who are in need of poker related legal advice can ask Mr. Flemming. He will be able to provide top-line advice and then refer members to lawyers in their area who are part of the Litigation Support Network.
The Litigation Support Network is just another example of how the PPA is serving the needs of the poker community.
