Online Poker Players Protest Gambling Law Via Mobile
 September 13, 2006, 1:38 pm (5 years ago)The online gambling industry has been in threat, ever since the House of Representatives passed the unlawful Internet Gambling Act by a margin of 317-93 in July this year.
After a three week break, last week saw the recommencement of session for the Senate. In light of the arrests of both Peter Dicks and David Carruthers, the proposed bill will likely to be high on the agenda. Taking into account the whole scenario, online poker site PocketFives.com has teamed up with the Poker Players Alliance to organize a ‘phone march’ in Washington. This action aims at lobbying representatives on the anticipated online Casino bill.
Between 9:00am and 5:30pm ET today, online poker players and gamblers alike, are being offered the chance to call in their support for the future of online gambling. President of PocketFives.com Cal Spears said, “If everyone voices their disapproval for this legislation on the same day, we will send a clear signal to the Senate that America does not support banning internet gambling and online poker.'
Via a toll-free system, this initiative gives callers the chance to be connected to their senator’s office, to voice their distress about the bill.
Currently having over 18,000 members, PocketFives.com is a website devoted in providing a community and news outlet for online poker.
Thousands of hectic signals will be in the thin air!
