Re: What\'s this Poker Players Alliance party wants us to join?
I believe Linda Johnson and Jan Fisher are part of the PokerPlayerAlliance supporters or founders.
There is another place to put money that may be worthwhile if you are interested in legal online poker in the USA. Rep. Jim Kasper from North Dakota is not only working to get online poker legal, he is aware of the need to get the IRS to effectively allow "netting" poker wins and losses so you don't run into the alternative minimum tax and lose out on standard deductions and also possibly end up losing at poker and having to pay tax on "winnings."
This has been discussed other places, so I won't rehash the whole topic, but a lobbying group like PokerPlayerAlliance may also be interested in getting the IRS to stop picking on poker players with unfair tax laws. They can add this to the list of things to fight, like stopping cops with an axe to grind from arresting people who just want to play poker.
