PPA Throws Weight Behind Wexler Act

The Poker Players Alliance (PPA), a grassroots advocacy group of nearly 550,000 members, has enthusiastically thrown its support behind American Congressman Robert Wexler�s Skill Game Protection Act legislation.

The proposed Act from the Florida Democrat would make 'skill' games such as poker, mah-jongg, bridge and chess exempt from current laws aimed at stopping online gambling in America.

�Congressman Wexler�s bill is a positive development for the millions of American poker players who enjoy one of our nation�s great pastimes,� said Senator Alfonse D�Amato, PPA Chairman of the Board.

�Poker and other games of skill have fallen victim to bad public policy. Wexler�s plan will give skill games the rightful protection they deserve and it will require the proper safeguards to protect children and those prone to abuse.�
