Same here. I made the rounds this morning, and came back tonight to find that I had 154 Likes. Awesome!

We need more "likers" on these pages. Thanks! I'm not posting tonight, but am going through and liking these. BTW, Houston and Philadelphia don't appear to accept wall posts anymore? Or is it just me. Facebook is weirdly sometimes.

Investor's Business Daily wants to know how we'd feel about an article about online poker! http://www.facebook.com/investorsbusinessdaily?sk=wall

Get on this, people. Let them know how we feel!

Re: Fight for Poker Rights: Wednesday, June 22nd (see post #1 for today's plan)

  1. Fox News Sunday is seeking input for questions for Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) for this Sunday's show. Let's upvote the poker questions and submit our own: http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/fox-ne...day/look-ahead
  2. The Daily Show is seeking input for story ideas. Let's ask them to cover our issue: http://forums.thedailyshow.com/?page...hread_id=40873
  3. Investor's Business Daily responded to a Facebook post requesting coverage of Black Friday, asking if others would like coverage. Let's reply affirmatively: http://www.facebook.com/permalink.ph...00000102517352
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!

Take Action Now and Contact your Lawmaker


Click Buttons to Send Letters in less than 60 seconds:






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://is****/takeaction

Thanks!

Seems like a reasonable and slightly favorable response, right?

This part is confusing, but seems slightly favorable:

I believe that the federal government should have the ability to oversee internet gambling, as it is nearly impossible to regulate, monitor or ensure participants are being fairly treated.

Just saw this on Philadelphia Daily News FB page:

Okay, folks, here's the deal when it comes to posting on our wall about online poker: Ryan Byrne just posted to our wall on the subject. Any other posts must be attached to his as a comment. Further wall posts will be deleted. We're glad to hear what people have to say but we won't have you spamming our wall. You've been warned.

I responded. There are some comments that do not help us. We need to own this comment area, as he has specifically brought it up as a topic.

This is something we'll want to do for all the Facebook posting we do, IMO.

For politicians, let's try to keep it to one post visible on the wall at all times -- that post preferably made by a constituent who identifies himself/herself as one -- with the rest of us liking and commenting to that post. This will allow us to make our case without generating negative reactions from the owners of the pages.

Thanks!
