August 15, 2008 (InfoPowa News) — The Poker Players Alliance was active this week in urging US players to promote the rights of citizens to play poker online, using the Republican Platform Committee’s official Internet message board at http://www.gopplatform2008.com. The purpose of the website is to obtain public comment and suggestions on what should be included in the party’s campaign platform for the coming presidential elections.
In an initial run, 160 players posted comments that encouraged the GOP to take a closer look at the needs of millions of American poker players, over a million of them members of the PPA.
“My point is simple,” posted PPA member and former World Series of Poker champion Greg Raymer: “Is the Republican Party no longer the party of personal freedom and individual responsibility? Why has this party, that used to protect my rights, now become the party that wants to create a Nanny-state? Stay away from issues of personal liberty, except to remove old laws that restrict these liberties.”
Check out the CAP Newswire for the full story, including many more samples of reader comments posted to the Republican site.
