Minnesota poker professional Jason "PBJaxx" Senti, best known for his seventh-place finish in the 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event, has taken the lead in putting together today's community action plan! Let's all participate!
======================================
Wednesday, December 12th
Right now is an important time for our fight for regulated online poker in the US. While I am no expert when it comes to politics, many believe our best chance at federal legislation of online poker in the U.S. is this month during the lame duck session of Congress.
The regular Daily Action Plan is still the best way to make sure that you are getting your message out there regularly to as many people of influence as possible. That said, not everyone has the time and/or willingness to commit to take those actions every day.
Please join me in making our voices heard on Wednesday, December 12th. I hope you can take 60 seconds to help for just one day to help our cause.
Similar to the DAP, the pre-filled Twitter messages in the 12/12/12 action plan are generic in asking that our lawmakers support our right to play online poker in our own homes. If you prefer to be more specific, the tweets are fully editable and you can change them to your own message.
Online poker is easy for politicians to ignore, but I hope we will be loud enough on this day that we show how important this issue is to us. Please spread the word about this to other poker players on Twitter, Facebook, and any other way you can think of!
Let's come together as a community for this one day to let our elected leaders know that online poker is very important to us.
