Of the many groups with a presence at the 2008 WSOP, the Poker Players Alliance is doing its best to let the amateur players who flock here know not only that their voice is relevant, but also that there is a plan of action in motion to, essentially, allow online poker sites to advertise with a dot-com. OK, there\’s far more to it than that … but establishing poker\’s political presence is important — and because it ain\’t easy to become the NRA without something akin to the Second Amendment behind you, the PPA is spearheading the efforts both on the grassroots level as well as the important behind-the-scenes ass-kissing palm-greasing politicking in Washington DC.
To help explain the cause and sign up new members, the PPA has poker pros at its booth daily. Click below to read the full press release about these meet-n-greets designed to get everyone on the same team.

WHAT: The Poker Players Alliance (PPA) will host the top professional poker players at their Advocacy Booth at the 2008 World Series of Poker daily for autograph signing sessions, which will be open to the general public.
