I was very impressed with the work people did on the weekend. We potentially have a long road ahead and need to keep the pressure on.

With the introduction of the Barton online poker bill, let's all make sure we are respectfully telling Congress that we demand our rights! Let's continue to hit this on Facebook today, following up up with emails and phone calls starting tomorrow.

Let's also be sure to get page views for articles on the issue. I submitted a good article to digg.com, where I am a top 30 "digger". If you like the article, please upvote it here.

Let's focus on members of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce (The ones with an x in front of their names means they don't have open posting. Just respond to a post already on the page.) As we have a new event with the introduction of this poker bill, let's go ahead and continue to own these pages.

For manageability, I subdivided them into subgroups:

Group A
Group B
Group C
* Thanks Sajeffe for putting this list together

If I ever get a free minute again in my life, I will see that this is done. At the minimum I'll bump it periodically until someone else can do it.

THURSDAY & FRIDAY POKER ACTION PLAN: Tell MI lawmakers to support online poker Quote

With the introduction of the Rep. Barton's Online Poker Act of 2011, let's all make sure we are respectfully telling Congress that we demand our rights!

I wrote an all-new letter to President Obama and Congress that everyone can send in under 60 seconds. Let's all send these three letters now. Once done, please reply ITT with "done", "sent", etc. to encourage others. Thanks!

Take Action Now and Contact your Lawmaker


Click Buttons to Send Letters in less than 60 seconds:






Recurring actions:

Let's continue to own a lot of Facebook pages (senators, Congressmen, Congressional committees, etc.). Rep. Barton has cited our Facebook posts, so we know it works.

  • The House Committee on Energy and Commerce Facebook page is here.
  • The House Financial Services Committee's Facebook page is here.
  • The Dept. of Justice's Facebook page is here.
  • We need lots of posts on the issue of poker and lots of "liking" of pro-poker comments.
Finally, let's recruit others. Our personal recommendations of this effort will go far. The daily action plan takes very little time and there's no denying it's way +EV for the time invested. Once done, please post here that you made the request, along with posting your personal commitment to participate in the action plan. I created a short URL for this thread that should help with sharing: http://******/takeaction

I was about to post a link to the bill which I just read about independently. I'm glad that you guys have already taken action and I followed all suggested courses of action in this thread. I really hope it passes as it has bi-partisan support which is always a good sign.
