Weekly Update from Rich Muny, VP of Player Relations

Last week, I shared with you all the great news that Congressional poker legislation continues to gain steam. The poker community’s terrific advocacy effort has shown our elected representatives that there are millions of real people backing the pro-poker effort. The letters, phone calls, and social media activism have had an outstandingly positive effect on lawmakers!

As this issue is receiving much coverage in the mainstream media, lawmakers are now paying more attention to this issue than ever. Let’s all take advantage of this by reaching out to our lawmakers today via the all-new PPA fully editable prewritten letters to lawmakers! Simply click the buttons below (or here). In less than thirty seconds, you can send these emails directly to the inboxes of all your elected federal and state representatives.



We poker enthusiasts are clearly having an impact. Will you do your part to keep this up by participating in this important effort? I hope you will!
