Weekly Update from Rich Muny, VP of Player Relations
With all that is going on the poker community, including the online poker bill I mentioned last week (here), proposals for new B&M poker in Maryland and across the US, and the challenges the game still faces, I am pleased to announce that PPA will holding a town hall meeting in greater Boston on December 1st! Please save the date and stay tuned for updates as we finalize the details.
Players at the WSOP® Main Event Final Table Show Their Support!
Congratulations 2012 WSOP Main Event Champion and PPA supporter Greg Merson!!
If you tuned into the WSOP Main Event final table coverage this week, no doubt you saw many of the finalists proudly wearing PPA patches. As the game progressed to the final three, it was terrific seeing all three patched up in support of our advocacy efforts of behalf of our game!
We thank Greg Merson, Jesse Sylvia, Jake Balsiger, Rob Salaburu, Russell Thomas, and Jeremy Ausmus for their support at the final table.

PPA PokerPAC Endorsements
Earlier this week, PokerPAC, PPA’s political action committee, endorsed candidates in 53 US House races and 2 US Senate races. With Election Day in just one week, we wish to let the poker community know who the champions of poker rights are and why they deserve the support of the poker community. If you did not receive an endorsement email, it is because we had no endorsements in any of the races in your district.
To see the entire list of candidates and to view their profiles in the PPA Member of Congress Ratings Guide, simply click here. Please keep in mind that, when making endorsements, PokerPAC makes no considerations other than the stance the candidates take on our right to play poker. I know you take many different issues and beliefs into consideration when you make your decisions in the voting booth. We simply wish to ensure you have the information on where candidates stand on our right to play, so we can all make informed decisions.
Please be sure to vote. Voting is the most important tool we have as poker players to facilitate the change we demand and deserve. Make sure your voice counts!
