Poker players lobby Congress

Now it’s poker players who are getting into the congressional lobbying game. Next week, nearly 100 members of the Poker Players Alliance will mass on Capitol Hill to press lawmakers not to outlaw online poker playing. Last year, Congress passed an anti-Internet gambling measure, and federal regulators are now assembling the rules to put the law into effect. The House Judiciary and Financial Services committees also have e-gambling on their agendas.
