Send a prefilled, editable pro-poker Twitter message HERE.
Wait at least an hour, then send another Twitter message HERE (you can track the messages here).

Please reply in this thread with "tweeted", "done", etc. to encourage others to participate as well. The past SIXTEEN actions have generated triple-digit participation, so let's keep it growing. Thanks!

We did hit triple-digits yesterday, but I had to Skype and email a bunch of poker players to get the final ten participants. Let's not get complacent now, as we are being heard as never before.

I am confident everyone here is dying to tell Bachus that we demand our rights, so let's all take the 30 seconds it will take to make that happen. Thanks!

Just wanna say that i saw some people commenting on 9/11 rememberence posts with poker stuff. I think thats both in poor taste and bad for our cause so just find the most recent post they have talking about deficits or the super committee or whatever.

Yes...no one should do that.

To anyone here to did that: please go back and delete your post. Thanks.

There are now 303 tweets to #AskReidTH regarding poker, vs. 168 tweets that do not mention poker.

I would have been happy just to be #1, but an outright majority is very nice at this stage.

The ones that do not reference poker include a couple of people with 20+ tweets each, questions like “will you retire today?,” and other random tweets, so we’re even further ahead.
