Thumbs up Saturday Action Plan: Let's tell GOP House leadership to support poker!

Hi everyone! I hope everyone will consider participating in this daily poker action plan each day, as it is an easy way for us to magnify our individual voices. These items take just a few minutes to complete, so we can all do these quite quickly and painlessly. Thanks!

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

Saturday, May 26, 2012

Let's keep telling GOP House leadership to support poker!
  • Let's send prefilled, editable tweets: HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.
  • Let's keep making and liking pro-poker posts on the Facebook walls of GOP congressmen Fred Upton HERE & HERE, Tom Cole HERE, Nan Hayworth HERE, Mike Rogers HERE, Bill Shuster HERE & HERE, and Pat Tiberi HERE.
  • Let's send a prefilled tweet promoting today's action plan HERE, and let's share today's action on our own Facebook walls HERE.
Please reply in this thread with "tweeted", "done", etc. to encourage others. Thanks for participating!

My plan is to update this daily with actions we can take. I'll change the thread title daily, of course, as it's updated.

I recorded a new video today with an update on the poker rights fight, plus some Q&A. It's at www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGZ0ZqBMJGA.

No difference. Users can add their own poll questions.

I think it is telling that every post on Bill Frist's page that asks him if he received money from Harrahs has been deleted and posters of these messages blocked. Guess the senator is ashamed of his behavior and refuses to own up to it. Since he represents Tennessee it is up to you voters to get him out of there.
When the link is followed (not logged in) it is sad because I know they are deleting poker related post. The only poker related one they left, when the page is first opened, is the one that makes us all sound like uniformed idiots, see above, since of course Frist retired in 07. Followed the link earlier today and there were 2 other post beneath it that made our standard solid points and now they are both gone.

You can expand and see the poll and such but makes me wonder how much editing is being done and makes me sad that they are pretending to give the public a voice and opinions be heard but really its only to serve their own purposes.

Re: Fight for poker rights: Friday, May 13th

I have no free time and I'm still willing to pitch in. The government freezing my money and telling me that I can't play cards is unacceptable.
