| Wednesday, July 25th Tomorrow, the Senate Indian Affairs Committee will hold an oversight hearing to "examine the regulation of tribal gaming, focusing on brick and mortar to the Internet" (the official announcement is here) and PPA consultant former Rep. Jon Porter has been invited to testify! Let’s all do our part to ensure the success of the hearing and the push for legislation. Sen. Heller (R-NV) says it’s 2012 or bust for the federal online poker bill (here), so let's all get going!

| Thursday done. The hearing was not what I expected, it was more encouraging in some ways than I thought it would be. My concern would be that if the tribes don't get the biggest piece of the pie, it could hold up a bill. I also think they are more interested in internet gaming vs internet poker so if the UIGEA is strengthened by a poker only bill that might not be in their best interest. My humble cliffs on the hearing are here: Indian Poker Bill? May be discussed tomorrow. |

| More behind the scenes work by the PPA. PPA Files “Friend of the Court” Brief Supporting PokerStars Poker advocacy group puts forward “skill game” argument for poker. http://pokerfuse.com/news/law-and-re...ng-pokerstars/ |

| Explain exactly what this is for. I mean, poker is legal on internet in most states which is a surprise knowing that lot of states in the US do not allow gambling. Don't mean to sound say dumb here, but just wanting to see what you see. |

The great thing here is that we don't have to use Facebook and Twitter IRL to participate in the action plan. Signing up for accounts to be used solely for the action plans is quick and easy, and I promise you won't have to post your vacation pictures on Facebook or tweet them out. |

| Wednesday, August 1st Let's all ask the DoJ for a simple, streamlined process for repayment of FTP funds. DoJ has all the players' names and all the account balances, so they should wish to make the process as simple as possible. Additionally, PPA's legal team will remain fully involved as the ‘voice of the player’ to ensure we are all heard throughout this process. So, let's all do our part here:

| Wednesday done. Had to modify the tweet as I just couldn't thank the DOJ or the Southern District of NY for basically running a legal extortion scheme. Most distressing is that the $300M+ seized from payment processors was players money yet the DOJ gets to keep it. Federal Asset Forfeiture Continues to Skyrocket Under Obama |

| Thursday, August 2nd Let's all tell the DoJ we want repayment of FTP funds based on our balances on the site, not on deposits made. DoJ has all the players' names and all the account balances, so they should wish to make the process as simple as possible. Additionally, PPA's legal team will remain fully involved as the ‘voice of the player’ to ensure we are all heard throughout this process. So, let's all do our part here:

For anyone else with similar concerns, simply don't post personal stuff. I don't. You'll never see a picture of my wife on either site, for example. Nor will you see vacation pictures or stuff like that. I found that one can use the tools without any issues by simply being smart about it. |
