RAWA

A hearing on the Restoration of America’s Wire Act (RAWA) that had been postponed due to the threat of bad weather has been rescheduled and will take place on March 26 according to the Executive Director of the Poker Players Alliance, John Pappas.

An official list of witnesses set to testify before the House Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, Homeland Security, and Investigations has not yet been released. The unofficial list that has been leaked to the media indicates that the hearing will be little more than a way for RAWA’s primary sponsor Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) to advance his anti-online gaming agenda.
