PokerStars’ Eric Hollreiser urges people to join the Poker Players Alliance #Fight4Poker campaign stating that there has never been a more critical time for American online poker players to make their voices heard.

Growing up my only exposure to politics was the budget. My parents would sit irate in front of the television, watching some old guy holding a naff looking red briefcase aloft, while swearing because the price of cigarettes and alcohol were increasing for the umpteenth year.

I had two options: Labour or Conservative and it didn’t matter which ones were in office, the price of cigarettes and alcohol kept rising. At 41-years of age, I’ve never voted and doubt I ever will.

Political ignorance keeps me from writing about the shenanigans preventing American citizens from playing on the best online poker sites in the world without using a VPN. My lack of understanding of political jiggery-pokery makes me nauseous.
