Same thread, every day, but different post #1. Works good.

Definitely!

I did the action threads prior to being a mod. I tried new threads daily, but having all those threads was a mess for the forum itself. I also couldn't have a consistent URL to the action plan, as each new thread had its own URL.

I tried keeping everything in one thread as well. However, without the ability to edit post #1,the reader had to find that day's plan within the body of the thread.

Having mod permissions on these threads, plus the great announcement PP worked up that takes the action plan directly from the PL sticky, makes this much smoother.

Tuesday's Action: Tell Rep. Dave Camp (R-MI) to Push the Debt Super Committee to Include Online Poker Legislation


Simply click HERE and HERE to post your messages asking Rep. Dave Camp to protect our right to play online poker by supporting HR 2366 (please try to get the bill number correct in your posts)! Please "like" the other pro-poker posts there as well.

The last three actions generated over 100 likes each. Let's all to our part to bump this action to triple digits as well!

====================

Recurring action:Tell the Debt Super Committee to Include Online Poker Legislation

U.S. House and Senate leaders have appointed twelve members of Congress to serve on the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction. This “super committee" is charged with developing policies to reduce the U.S. deficit and then make specific recommendations to Congress which will be voted on. This is a great opportunity for us to make our voices heard. Let's go to their Facebook pages and let them know that we want them to take action on the online poker issue!

The names with an “x” in front of them are those who do not allow direct posting on their Facebook wall. Simply post a comment in response to an appropriate post (i.e., one suitable for a pro-poker comment) already on the page. PLEASE remember to say please and thank you. Courtesy goes a long way.

Let's all also remember to revisit these walls to like the pro-poker posts and comments made since your last visit. Thanks!

Here's the Super Committee:

Done.
FYI, it looks like staffers are keeping those pages policed and only keeping decent pro/con responses. Good stuff so far from the poker crowd.

Yes. I mentioned earlier that our lobbyists have reported that many lawmakers are mentioning that they are hearing from a bunch of us via Facebook. This is making a difference.

Participation has doubled over the past week, so I expect the impact of the effort to go up as well. My hope is that increased participation encourages more participation, snowballing over time.
