Saturday Action Plan: Let's tell GOP House leadership to support poker!
Hi everyone! I hope everyone will consider participating in this daily poker action plan each day, as it is an easy way for us to magnify our individual voices. These items take just a few minutes to complete, so we can all do these quite quickly and painlessly. Thanks!
======================================
Saturday, May 26, 2012
Let's keep telling GOP House leadership to support poker!
- Let's send prefilled, editable tweets: HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.
- Let's keep making and liking pro-poker posts on the Facebook walls of GOP congressmen Fred Upton HERE & HERE, Tom Cole HERE, Nan Hayworth HERE, Mike Rogers HERE, Bill Shuster HERE & HERE, and Pat Tiberi HERE.
- Let's send a prefilled tweet promoting today's action plan HERE, and let's share today's action on our own Facebook walls HERE.
Please reply in this thread with "tweeted", "done", etc. to encourage others. Thanks for participating!

I recorded a video with an update on the poker rights fight, plus some Q&A. It's at www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGZ0ZqBMJGA.

Just a reminder if you make a post on Facebook make sure to "like" your own post and other pro-poker post.

Sent an e-mail to the financial services committee. If I've already sent the pre-written e-mails should I continue to do so? How many times is considered excessive?

If you haven't sent one in the past 30 days, it's okay to send one now...especially as we had the Fly-In since the last letter. If you've sent one within the last month but over two weeks ago, I'd send it but would tweak it a bit first.

I just spam. They don't answer my followups anyway. Eventually aides are going to have spent more time copy and pasting the generic response and deleting emails/fb posts then if they actually gave a response. When they realize this... probably nothing will happen, but atleast it will piss them off a little.

What are you fighting for? I hope its not for a company that is not in the USA. Maybe you should move to the islands and have a picket line, with signs and blow horns.

I am fighting for the right to play.
All proposed legislation introduced to date allows U.S. based interests into the market. This is as it must be, as the pre-Black Friday status quo of reverse protectionism was clearly unstable and doomed to failure in the long run.

I understand, but will you ever trust online company's that are not USA based?
I don't think I could ever deposit again, my money is safe in my hands.
The trust is gone.

I'm not trying to derail the thread. I'm just asking questions. I'm hurt because of black friday as well. Nobody respects us. They think we are all gamblers and idiots. They don't know the real skill set it takes to play 16 tables on 2 different sites at once.
PokahBlows: see the hurt in my name. I'm hurt and dudes are still fighting. Obama plays poker and we can't get any love.
Our future is wsop.com, bellagio.com. I can't wait till online is back.
But fulltilt and pokerstars will never get a dollar from me. I despise those sites. They all ran to the UK, pussies.
