Although the legislation they introduced is just for taxes, without it, the Barton (or other) bill will not pass so we need to show them some love. Thanks.

I'm not seeing enough love on these pages, people! On Barney Frank's page just click on the comments to his first post. Same with Campbell's page. For McDermott, just click on "most recent." Thanks!

Thank you for doing this every day. It really feels like we are part of something big and that we are being heard as a group.

Just started a discussion thread on the Washinton Post Facebook website.

Go to the link and click on the "Like" button and then click on Discussion on the left side of the page.

The name of the thread is "Black Friday", A dark day for online poker. Please go there and post your thoughts.

With the introduction of the Barton online poker bill, let's all make sure we are respectfully telling Congress that we demand our rights! As the bill drop is on a Friday, let's hit this on Facebook and follow up with emails next week.

Let's focus on members of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce (The ones with an x in front of their names means they don't have open posting. Just respond to a post already on the page.) As we have a new event with the introduction of this poker bill, let's go ahead and own these pages for the weekend.

For manageability, I subdivided them into daily groups:

* Thanks Sajeffe for putting this list together

[thewhackness]

Did about half the list so far. Gonna do the rest later today. I'm excited that Bartons bill is finally out.

[Steve Williams]

Day 2 in a row following action plan; with the Barton bill in motion I will likely find time to keep doing this when I return to WSOP next week. Glad I got to meet Engineer & others @ PPA booth in Rio.

Thanks! Great meeting you as well.

[TheEngineer]

I just updated the plan to subdivide the actions a bit to make things more manageable.

[nyrugby]

Just did all of today's facebook list. Hope everyone is pushing forward. I'm excited about the potential of the Barton bill. We need to keep up the good work.

Very pro-poker article here:
“I wanna hold em’ like they do in Texas please.” Too bad. Government said no.

[SuperRu]

Just fb commented most of the reps. I love seeing all the comments in the last hour, keep up the good work everyone!

Anybody who doubts that hitting up Facebook has any real effect needs to think again. This article is on a Philly blog written by a guy who is not a poker player. He saw the posts that we were making on the Philadelphia Daily News FB page, replied in the thread here (FB handle is "A Proctor the Patriot"): https://www.facebook.com/permalink.p...83&id=10225873 and then did a good story.

[beachbum]

I don't know why, but I really want to get our number of likes in the triple digits on our posts. Let's get 100+ likes on these suckers! Gogogogogogo!
