Poker Players Alliance: Join the Fight



Dear Mark,

The Poker Players Alliance (PPA) has just learned that Minnesota's Department of Public Safety (DPS) Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division (AGED) served written notice to all Internet service providers (ISPs) forcing them to shut down and block their customers access to online poker sites in the State.

The AGED also announced that they will be prohibiting Minnesota poker players from accessing their online poker monetary accounts.  This is an outrageous attack on Internet freedom, personal liberty and the First Amendment. 

Please take a moment right now and call,

John Willems, Director of AGED (651) 201-7529               

AND

Governor Tim Pawlenty (651) 296-3391

Tell them:
  • You are a poker player and you vote
  • You strongly oppose their efforts to force ISPs to block your access to poker sites
  • They do not have the right to dictate what you do in the privacy of your own home
  • They do not have the right to withhold your money from you
  • Poker is a game of skill and NOT ILLEGAL in the USA or Minnesota
  • Please abandon this misguided effort to censor the Internet and nullify personal freedoms
Your opinion matters. Your calls matter.

The rights of Minnesota poker players are under attack. Join the Minnesota PPA Facebook page to get the latest news and start discussing the issue with your fellow players.

Our opponents go to government to take our rights from us.  We need to do the same to keep them.  Please call now. (To leave feedback about your call, click here)

Proud to play,

Matt Werden
