Weekly Update from Rich Muny, VP of Player Relations
 Online poker advocates are clearly being heard on Capitol Hill. I thank every one of you for making that happen. Without our actions and determination, those who would ban online poker could have succeeded in their efforts to convince lawmakers that Americans want government bans on this activity. Fortunately, we poker enthusiasts did not give up. Instead, we rose up and told Congress that we demand our rights, showing them that millions of us are behind this!
Take Action
In less than one minute, you can send pro-poker tweets to the White House and House & Senate leadership! They all need to hear from us, so please be sure to tell your lawmakers to support your rights by sending all of the prefilled, fully editable tweets below. Simply click the links and then click “send”. It’s that easy! Let’s all ensure that they know this liberty is being sought by millions of Americans, including you!
