LAS VEGAS (July 18, 2006) — Invigorated by the recent federal legislation that would prohibit playing online poker in the United States, the Poker Players Alliance (http://www.pokerplayersalliance.org/) is hosting a rally/cocktail party in Las Vegas July 28 for poker players interested in defending the game of poker on the Internet.
Event sponsor, Poker Players Alliance, organization president Michael Bolcerek, and members Chris Ferguson, Linda Johnson, Howard Lederer and Greg Raymer, invite all interested poker players to enjoy a hosted bar and hors d’oeuvres from 5 – 8 p.m. at Buzio’s Seafood Restaurant in the Rio Hotel and Casino (http://www.harrahs.com/). Reservations are not required.
According to Bolcerek, “Poker is one of America’s favorite past-times and we intend to keep it that way. It is time to rally together to defend the game and ensure poker players can enjoy this game as they always have.”
Ferguson, Johnson, Lederer and Raymer also expressed their support:
Chris Ferguson – “I am proud to serve on the Poker Players Alliance board of directors and help lead the fight to defend poker. I encourage anyone who loves the game to join the PPA today.”
Linda Johnson — “I am honored to be a member of the PPA. If you care about your rights as a poker player, please join us on July 28.”
Howard Lederer – “Poker players need a united voice to promote and protect the game. The Poker Players Alliance gives us that voice. Join me and become part of this growing and influential organization.”
Greg Raymer – “The Poker Players Alliance is an important organization fighting to protect poker from government interference at the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C. and state capitals across the country. If you care about your right to play poker, you should become a member of the PPA.”
