Online Poker Petition Deadline Looms; Poker Players Alliance Urges Players to Sign
Americans are more interested in aliens than their right to play poker. That is the impression the Obama administration is going to come away with from its "We the People" petitions unless poker players quickly become active.
The petition to license and regulate Internet poker on the official White House website hit 5,000 signatures in its first three days but has sputtered since and now sits at just over 8,000 signatures.
A petition to "formally acknowledge an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race" has passed it by. The alien petition has more than 9,000...
Every time I check to see the number of signatures I am leave disappointed with the low number. Thanks for your effort Pappas! I will send out another email to my contacts.

bluestone77I have a feeling the main reason players aren't signing this petition is because you have to create an acct with whitehouse.gov. Who the hell wants to give their personal info to the whitehouse.gov website?!

The reason the petition signature count is low across the board is the White House is not proactively promoting this feature in the media. They are deliberately slow playing the initiative, letting the people spread the word. All issues are underrepresented. You have to press your members to share the direct link via all social media - Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, YouTube, emai lists, websites. But at least you will get a formal response. PS While my extraterrestrial petition is ahead of yours, I fully support and signed the online poker petition and hope it gets many more signatures.
