These will take you just a few minutes! Thank you for participating. Let's get round four of pro-poker tweets to GOP House and Senate leadership today, as they need to hear from us. Many anti-gaming types claim the American people wish to ban poker and that ALL gaming legislation is driven solely by industry lobbyists. Our efforts directly counter this incorrect mindset by demonstrating that there are real people who want their freedom behind the pro-poker effort.

So, please be sure to sign YOUR NAME to this effort by telling your lawmakers to support your rights. Let’s ensure that they know this liberty is being sought by millions of Americans, including you!
  1. Send NEW prefilled, editable tweets: HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.
  2. Send a prefilled tweet promoting today's action plan HERE.
Please reply in this thread with "tweeted", "done", etc. to encourage others to participate. The past 86 actions have generated triple-digit participation, so let's keep it growing. Thanks!

----------------

If you wish to do more today, please continue to reach out to the GOP field via Facebook. It's as simple as posting a pro-poker comment and liking the other pro-poker comments. It can be something like: "HR 2366, Texas Republican Joe Barton’s Online Poker Act, provides revenue for the federal deficit. It creates new jobs as well, all without raising taxes. It also mandates strong consumer protection and effective age verification. Please support my rights by supporting online poker."

Former Gov. Mitt Romney says he is evaluating the issue and is preparing a response, so it makes sense for us to ask him -- and the rest of the GOP field while we're at it -- to support our right to play:

Based on Barton's remarks today, these are the key players in getting a bill to the President's desk:

Jon Kyl (obv) (R-AZ)
Harry Reid (obv) (D-NV)
Mary Bono Mack (R-CA)
John Boehner (R-OH)
Fred Upton (R-MI)

I think that we should all use Twuffer and schedule a tweet a day to each of these people for the next year. I'm going to be doing it. It would be huge if we get get a large number of poker players to do the same.

Very good idea. A little time consuming, unless there is some short cut I don't know about. I have tweets ready to send to Kyl and Reid everyday for the rest of the month. I'll get all five and for a lot longer than just a month.

Here are the 5 accounts to hit:
@SenatorReid
@SenJonKyl
@MaryBonoMack
@SpeakerBoehner
@RepFredUpton
