Save America's other Favorite Pastime!

Identify key districts/states and what baseball games are upcoming.

Organize an action where folks either protest to save America's (other) Favorite Pastime.

Have someone with camera interviewing folks about how they would feel if baseball was banned by the feds.

Throw clips up on facebook.



Try to get across the mom-apple-pie-and-poker sentiment.

Too late now, but if you know online players are getting millions of dollars (from their accounts) mount a "Five For Freedom" campaign.

Encourage folks to donate five percent of their checks to the fight to legalize online poker.
Could sites even send something on behalf of PPA to folks getting refunds? And follow up email?



BTW would remaining sites host freerolls in appreciation of fighters for poker freedom

Just spitballing here.

@72winner... I really like your ideas. I believe you would be an asset to the PPA in this fight. I do believe the attitudes of congress are changing on Poker. Its too bad the DOJ didnt get the memo. We gotta keep pushing and the grass roots efforts you're talking about are great ideas.

Fundraising. Grinder style...

30% chance we get poker legal if players pitch in.

Legal online poker would mean $50k/year more winnings for you.

999,999,999 callers behind.

Bet is $5k to you. $5k for 30% odds of wnning $50k/year for 5 years...

Your bet...

Sure yes. Now Republican freshmen need to hear from the little old ladies poker brigade. Or "christians for poker freedom". Some respectable middle american style poker players

Was shocked doj under Obama did that. But he's a smart guy and good poker player. My guess is its setting things up for a bigger play.

Needs to show he's tough on crime (eg money laundering).

He probably thought it would stir up a hornets nest. Just hornets are flying away rather than stinging...
