excerpt:

It was only a matter of time before the Poker Players Alliance (PPA) became involved in the Republican National Convention (RNC), which kicks off on September 1st at the Xcel Energy Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. At the RNC, the PPA will be reaching out to members of Congress who have historically not been friendly to legalized internet gambling in the United States. The Republican Party led the charge to pass the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) in 2006 and, at a recent hearing, forced the law’s ambiguity to continue. This time around, the PPA has partnered with the American Gaming Association (AGA) to benefit the Paralyzed Veterans of America.

That particular charity is the same one that the PPA is raising money for at a fundraiser during the Democratic National Convention in Denver next Thursday. The fundraiser at the RNC is a charity poker tournament that will be held on Wednesday, September 3rd at 116 First Avenue North in Minneapolis. A VIP reception will be held from 10:00pm until 10:30pm, when the poker tournament begins. The following levels of sponsorship packages are available and are the only ways to secure entry into the PPA and AGA’s tournament:
