Weekly Update from Rich Muny, VP of Player Relations

Last week, I asked you to send the all-new PPA fully editable prewritten letters to your elected representatives. I am pleased to share with you that this call for action was met with enthusiastic participation! I thank everyone who sent their letters out.

It is great that we are doing our part as poker players and enthusiasts to stand up for our rights. This week, I have an equally important follow-on request to ask of you.

Will you ask your friends and family to join you in sending the PPA letter to their lawmakers? If you encourage just one person to join this action – which will take them less than one minute – you will double your impact!

If the entire poker community gets one person each to help out, the entire effort will see a tremendous surge. With legislation pending on Capitol Hill, this is absolutely the time to flood Congress and statehouses across America with demands for legislation licensing online poker.

Can I count on you to do your part?
