Awesome, thanks, will call Bauchus tomorrow.

Done and Done
FYI, QuadJacks is killing the PPA with bad information, rumors and speculation.

Today's plan:

• Call the House Financial Services Committee to request a hearing on HR 1174. Their numbers are 202-225-4247 (GOP) and 202-225-7502 (Dem). Full committee contact info is here.
• If you didn't yesterday, please email the House Financial Services Committee to request a hearing on HR 1174 (here).
• Visit www.theppa.org/takeaction and finish that up
• Join the Skype Poker Advocacy Group by PMing me with your username.
• Prepare for tomorrow's action plan: Those not able to attend the May 24th D.C. Fly-In can participate locally. Simply schedule an appointment with your senator or Congressman at the district office nearest your home for (or around) May 24th. You'll probably be able to set this up so you can attend before or after work or during lunch. Tomorrow's action plan is to make the appointment.

Thanks!

I think we should ask our representatives, and the district attorney for the Southern District Of New York, what they are going to do about these guys.

These companies seem to be the real bad guys.

If Congress does not do something about them, it would resonate more with voters in general than campaigning against someone because they don't support online poker.

And if the SDONY does not prosecute or lets them off easier than the online sites, it would give a hook to letters of comment.

US representatives are starting to get the message, good work peeps, 0:16

The guy at the Dem number insta-transferred me to the GOP number because he said they have no say in the schedule. So in the future we may only want to call the majority number.

I called both numbers. I got Sam on one number and a woman on the other.

Thanks!

Renewing my previous suggestion with the modification suggested by another poster. It is probably getting hard for the casual reader to find the current action plan.

I update the OP with each new plan. Just click the thread and its right there.

I updated the thread title in hopes that will clarify it better. Thanks.

I would put "Wednesday May 18th, 2011 Plan" instead of "Todays plan." I opened this thread, looked at OP date and saw "Todays plan" and instantly clicked to the last page of this thread... Not many people will really notice that you edited the post today (even though the edit message at the bottom says the date edited)...

Just a suggestion based on the fact that I still thought the OP was old. Maybe im retarded because the thread title does say May 18th.

I'm surprised to read that it's this hard to find the plan. I wish to ensure everyone can find the plan, so I made a sticky.
