We have 45 likes on today's action. Let's get this to triple digits. :-)

Why isn't anyone "liking" my post on Hensarling's page? Did I say something wrong?

Please support HR 2366. It's a win/win. You will reduce the deficit incrementally while at the same time licensing and regulating a popular activity that millions of Americans enjoy playing from the privacy of their homes.

Simply take a moment to sign into your Facebook account, click the “Like” button on the pages here and here and then post your message on each asking Rep. Upton to protect our right to play online poker by supporting HR 2366! Please "like" the other pro-poker posts there as well.

So far, the pro-poker post with the most "likes" (the one linked at the top) has 23 "likes". Let's bump this to 70+. So, we need 47 more people who care about their rights to volunteer to take this simple action.


U.S. House and Senate leaders have appointed twelve members of Congress to serve on the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction. This “super committee" is charged with developing policies to reduce the U.S. deficit and then make specific recommendations to Congress which will be voted on. This is a great opportunity for us to make our voices heard. Let's go to their Facebook pages and let them know that we want them to take action on the online poker issue!

The names with an “x” in front of them are those who do not allow direct posting on their Facebook wall. Simply post a comment in response to an appropriate post (i.e., one suitable for a pro-poker comment) already on the page. PLEASE remember to say please and thank you. Courtesy goes a long way.

Let's all also remember to revisit these walls to like the pro-poker posts and comments made since your last visit. Thanks!

90 94 likes!

133 likes! And there are a bunch more postings to like, people. Takes a few seconds to do it.

It's funny, when I saw the photos, I thought pretty much the same thing -- every one of the Republicans is a middle-aged white guy. At least the Dems appointed a woman, a black, and an hispanic.

50% of the country is female. Why are we not represented by more women? (Rhetorical question.)

Let's have tomorrow's action focused on Sen. John Kerry's (D-MA) walls (he has two). If a few of us can post there around midnight ET, I'll choose the best one from each wall for that action. Thanks!

45 57 likes. Great job getting over 50 all!

Rockin' it, peeps!! Keep it up.

45 80 likes. Let's get this over 100!

Almost to triple digits on Van Hollen's page.

Simply click HERE and HERE to post your messages asking Sen. John Kerry to protect our right to play online poker by supporting HR 2366 (please try to get the bill number correct in your posts)! Please "like" the other pro-poker posts there as well.

Yes. Our lobbyists report that many lawmakers have mentioned that they are hearing from a bunch of us via Facebook.

This is making a difference.

Tomorrow's action will be to like posts on Rep. Camp's walls (he has two). I'll pick one recent post from each wall for the action plan.

I'd prefer to use ones from constituents. If you live in his district (or at least in MI), please try to make a post sometime before 2 am ET so I can have it for consideration. Thanks!

58 likes today! Let's get triple digits for three days in a row.

Come on, people. We need some work on this yet, tonight! Gogogogogo!

Just 8 more and we're there!

Need 7 more!!

ive noticed a few of my posts that have no likes in between similar pro-poker posts that have 20+ likes. i'm inclined to believe there's a glitch in the facebook where sometimes you cant see how many likes you have. ?
