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!


Let's all meet with our Congressmen over the Memorial Day Congressional recess (May 19th thru May 29th) -- when they back in their districts -- to discuss the importance of passing online poker legislation this year:

• Please call your Congressman today (click HERE to find your Member of Congress, along with his/her district office phone numbers) to schedule a face-to-face meeting at his/her district office during the recess.
  
• Talking points, a summary of HR 2366, and the recent letter from the Fraternal Order of Police in support online poker licensing are HERE for download and printing. Please use them for reference and to leave with your representative after the meeting.
• Should you have any questions prior to the meeting please feel free to contact me via a post here or a PM.
• Let's send prefilled, editable tweets to GOP lawmakers: HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE,HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and 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.

Whats the difference between Regulate Ipoker and Regulate Online Poker? Voted for both anyway and just fired out some emails. Thanks for your help TE

No difference. Users can add their own poll questions.

Great thread idea! Done

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.

holy crap, i just realized today is a friday 13th :-/

in/voted too obv

I like the daily task. I am always looking for stuff to do with my free time now.

Excellent! I hope you'll join the Skype group as well.

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.
