Done.

**TheEngineer** · 06-20-2011, 04:57 AM

Let's continue contacting mainstream media to ask them to increase coverage of our issue. Let's contact Politico today. As they are widely read on Capitol Hill, this is a great place for us to reach out to.

Contact info:

Email: newsrelease@politico.com
Editor-in-Chief: http://www.politico.com/reporters/JohnFHarris.html
More contact points: http://www.politico.com/aboutus

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 Financial Services Committee's Facebook page is here.
Let's get some posts on the House Committee on Energy and Commerce page (here)
The Dept. of Justice's page is here.
Senators' FB pages: Senator Facebook Listing
We need lots of posts on the issue of poker and lots of "liking" of pro-poker comments.

Let's also all send the PPA pre-written letters to our lawmakers. These will be updated when Rep. Barton's poker bill is introduced to the House (in other words, soon), so let's all get the current letters out before that. Once done, please reply ITT with "done", "sent", etc. to encourage others. Thanks!

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.

Thanks!

We are getting great traction on Facebook. One excellent benefit is how it shows the ratio of support to opposition for our position for all to see. It's right there in front of the lawmakers' own eyes. Rep. Barton has cited our Facebook posts, so we know it works.

So, let's post pro-poker comments and "like" the pro-poker comments posted by others. Let's divide these up into manageable groups for each day, starting with these nine senators for today:

Sen. Sessions: http://www.facebook.com/jeffsessions
Sen. Shelby: http://www.facebook.com/RichardShelby?sk=wall&filter=1
Sen. Begich: http://www.facebook.com/Begich
Sen. Boozman: https://www.facebook.com/JohnBoozman
Sen Boxer: http://www.facebook.com/senatorboxer
Sen. Feinstein: http://www.facebook.com/DianneFeinst...=wall&filter=1
Sen. Udall: http://www.facebook.com/markudall?sk=wall&filter=1
Sen. Blumenthal: http://www.facebook.com/dickblumenthal?sk=wall&filter=1
Sen. Coons: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Chris-...=wall&filter=1

Recurring actions:

Let's continue to own other Facebook pages, too:

The House Financial Services Committee's Facebook page is here.
Let's get some posts on the House Committee on Energy and Commerce page (here)
The Dept. of Justice's page is here.
Senators' FB pages: Senator Facebook Listing

Done! If we all keep persisting with this, it will resonate with the politicians and general public and begin influencing legality for our cause. In fact, some politicians on Facebook have already begun to realize how unjust and wrong it was to rip away our right to play online poker with our own money. Let's keep at this so eventually it will be too hard to ignore. My best wishes to all American online poker players whose jobs were lost on black friday.

. Wanted you to post

Globalist Killa · 06-21-2011, 04:48 AM

Another thing when you guys post you should definentely try to kiss as much ass as you possibly can. Some of these people we elected are power hungry and love it when people lick their boots.
