Hopefully the PPA can come up with some more ways to let Sen. Feinstein know how Americans feel on this issue.
This is the page we have been using for Feinstein: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Diane-...wall&filter=12 but I posted my comment on both.

OK thanks I didn't have the other one. I should have known there was already a plan of action for Sen. Feinstein

I just went back to Reps. Wolf, Upton, and Mack pages and found more comments to "like", keep it up everybody!

Thx again for the help

Weekend of October 8th, 2011

Will you take a few moments to stand up for poker? These items take just 30 seconds each to complete. Let's reach out to Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) this weekend:
  1. Like the pro-poker posts on Rep. Broun's Facebook walls (he has two FB pages) HERE and HERE. Then, go HERE and HERE to make and like pro-poker comments on his main FB walls. As a time-saving measure, try using CTRL-F to search for terms like "poker" and "2366", using "highlight all."
  2. Send prefilled, editable pro-poker Twitter messages HERE, HERE, and HERE. Try to space them out by at least an hour. If you can't, it's better to send them at once than not at all.
  3. Send a prefilled tweet promoting today's action plan HERE.
Please reply in this thread with "posted", "done", "sent" etc. to encourage others to participate. The past 41 actions have generated triple-digit participation, so let's keep it growing. Thanks!

======================

If you wish to do more this weekend:
  1. Post and like pro-poker comments on Rep. Wolf's Facebook wall post on his anti-poker statement HERE.
    • Please do not accidentally like the main anti-poker post.
    • This is not a "defend Grover Norquist" action. Rather, it's a "defend poker" action. Some here will post in support of Norquist and poker, while others will be critical toward Norquist but supportive of poker. Many of us won't mention any of the broader subject matter at all, instead focusing solely on poker. All of these approaches are fine, of course...we simply need to tell Rep. Wolf our opinion of his attacks on our game.
  2. Let's continue to post and like pro-poker comments on Rep. Mary Bono Mack's (R-CA) Facebook wall HERE and on both of of Rep. Upton's Facebook walls HERE and HERE. There are new pro-poker comments, so let's like them all!

Well done all!

I'm planning on reaching out to anti-poker Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) for the Monday action. His FB wall is open to posts, which is better for us.

Anyone wishing to get a head-start can like the FB post HERE, make and like pro-poker posts HERE, and send tweets HERE, HERE, and HERE. Thanks!

  3. Wait at least an hour, then send these Twitter messages to Rep. Cantor HERE, Rep. McCarthy HERE, Rep. Hensarling HERE, and Rep. Price HERE (if you can't wait an hour, it's better to send all of these at once than not at all).
  4. Wait at least one more hour, then send these Twitter messages to Rep. Cantor HERE, Rep. McCarthy HERE, Rep. Hensarling HERE, and Rep. Price HERE.
