Not sure if this fits here. PA, please move if not. It's kind of related, though.
Got this email. Senator Alfonse D'Amoto is the Poker Players Alliance chairman.

Join the Poker Players Alliance in DC
Your Chance to Bet on the Future Of Poker
Last week, we sent you an invitation to join us in Washington, DC, October 22-24 because you live in a critical congressional district. We're off to a great start with nearly 100 people saying they're willing to raise the stakes to get legislation passed that will determine once and for all our ability to play poker -- online, in our homes and at tournaments.

You can join some of the world's top poker professionals and your fellow PPA members by clicking here and registering now. If you've already registered, thanks! We can't wait to see you in DC and we will continue to send you updates.
If you haven't signed up, your participation is vitally important. As you know, legislation passed during the last Congress threatens our pastime, our passion and for many of us, our livelihood. Momentum is building, and we need you to join a select group of players to tell Members of Congress that poker is not a crime!
Just click here to register. We have negotiated a special room rate, available until October 5, but keep in mind that the rooms are filling up quickly. Once we know that you're all-in, we will schedule a meeting with your Member of Congress -- working with you to make sure they get the message that poker is a game of skill and that reasonable regulation is the best policy approach to Internet gaming. You'll also have a chance to mingle with many of the best poker players and pros from across the United States.
If you have any questions, please send us a message.
I look forward to seeing you at this important event.
Proud to Play Poker,
Senator Alfonse D'Amato
