Mike Sexton is taking a stand on behalf of online poker players in the US

Professional poker player and WPT commentator Mike Sexton is taking a stand on behalf of online poker players in the US. Known as the 'Ambassador of Poker', Mike Sexton is planning a media campaign starting in New York City this week in an effort to draw attention to how people's right are being infringed upon by the passing of Unlawful Internet Gaming Act last week. "The mission is obviously to voice the displeasure with this bill that has been passed by Congress, and to speak up for the rights of poker players, and their right to play online poker." Said Sexton He is planning to do several talk shows to demonstrate how people feel about the bill and to make sure that people know how the poker industry feels about the bill. The campaign was initiated by Party Gaming. "Party Gaming called me, and asked me if I would be willing to take the lead in expressing public sentiment against this bill". "They are going to do a big TV ad campaign, and I agreed to go back east, and do what I can. Although I am a host for Party Poker, I'm mostly going in my role as 'Poker Ambassador' to try to get the word out" Sexton also plans to take Michael Bolcerek and Barry Greenstein from the Poker Players Alliance with him.
