Weekly Update from Rich Muny, VP of Player Relations

I wish to thank everyone who participated in the Players Will Never Fold campaign! The hard work at the grassroots is the foundation of all we do. It is what empowers all other levels of the poker advocacy effort, so I thank you all for taking action this week.

Due to the overwhelming success of the campaign, PPA will keep the Players Will Never Fold campaign web page as our main home page for another week, allowing even more participation. So, if you have not yet participated, it is not too late. Simply click HERE now and make yourself heard on Capitol Hill!

To encourage grassroots action, poker coach and author Paul Christopher Hoppe, aka GiantBuddha, made a short video promoting the Poker Daily Action Plan. This video shows how easy and effective participation truly is, so I encourage everyone to check it out:
