It will take you less than thirty seconds! The House Committee on Energy and Commerce has asked for Facebook and Twitter questions for today's jobs forum. As this is the committee that will hear HR 2366, let's hit this one good. We want them to hear from lots of us.
The forum is at 2:30 pm ET, so try to get this entire plan done by then. If you cannot, let's still send these out throughout the day -- it will help us to show support within this important committee for our position.

“We the People” Poker Petition to President Obama
We the People is a new addition to the White House website that allows Americans to petition the Obama Administration on a range of issues. Per the site, “if a petition gets enough support, White House staff will review it, ensure it is sent to the appropriate policy experts, and issue an official response.”
This is a great way for us to ensure the administration hears from the poker community, so let’s all take a moment to sign the petition electronically.
The site is getting a lot of traffic, so you may get either a "site is under maintenance" or a "404 not found" message. Just try it a few times and you'll get through. Even with this slight delay, it should take less than one minute to complete:
- Go HERE and click "CREATE AN ACCOUNT."
- The site will send a confirmation email. Click on the link in that email to continue.
- Click "✔ SIGN THIS PETITION" to vote (if you are not redirected automatically, go HERE to vote).
- Send a prefilled, editable Twitter message to invite others to sign this petition HERE.
- Send a prefilled tweet promoting today's action plan HERE.
