I've been in this argument here at PAW before, so I'm going to keep this one tame
.
At what point do we expect the PPA to accomplish something? 'Too little, too late' passed us long ago, and yet the PPA has 'done' nothing. They talk a whole hell of a lot, but that's all they seem to do.
After a recent argument here with someone who was trying to defend the PPA, I decided to put my money where my mouth was and I contacted my states PPA representative personally. I told him my passion for poker as a live player, an online player, and as someone who believes the government should stay out of these types of social issues. I also told him about my websites and offered to publish unique articles if he would write them. I asked him if there was anything else I could do aside from the PPA banners that I already had on my site to help the cause (hoping he'd have some good ideas). I told him I would volunteer my time whenever he could use it.
His response was that soon there would be a chance to talk with our state representatives about busting home games and that he'd love for me to attend and contribute. He said he'd contact me when it came time. He said nothing about online poker.
That was several months ago, and that was the last time we had contact.
Don't anybody try to convince me that the PPA is 'doing' a damn thing, except talking.

PS...okay maybe that wasn't "tame", but I couldn't help myself.
