DFS has a larger mob behind it that is more dedicated than us (thru volume at the least), as well as likely having more personal interest of various lawmakers involved. IIRC ~100k people contacted NY legislators about DFS, including phone calls and in person visits.
In fact I actually got an email today from Fanduel about taking action for CA legislation. It had a link to a simple and effective looking email layout for players to email legislators with their name/address & a preloaded message with reasoning to vote yes that can be edited. It also seems as if clicking send once sends the email to multiple relevant officials.
I can see how Fanduel would have such a large & direct mailing list to have more success with this method than us, but I wish we could do something with poker that's more personal and has a little more reasoning than 140 characters can offer like this does, while still being simple/quick. In addition to tweeting that is, possibly thru 2p2 or local card room mailing lists.
