Oh, and, done.
I was banned.

The Committee on Indian Affairs United States Senate can be reached directly at comments@indian.senate.gov. So, I sent them a letter.

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

Dear Senators,

Many people who made posts in favor of legislation to license and regulate online poker to the Senate Indian Affairs Committee Facebook page were subsequently banned from that page. Can you please provide an explanation for this? After all, online poker licensing is a legitimate issue before the committee. You held two hearings on it recently, in fact. I had the privilege of attending the second hearing and the honor of meeting Chairman Akaka afterward (I’m on the right):



I urge you to please allow Americans to exercise their rights to freedom of speech and to petition government for redress of grievances as guaranteed by the First Amendment. Thank you.

Best regards,

Rich Muny

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!

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

The Senate Indian Affairs Committee has been deleting posts advocating for online poker licensing and regulation (and banning the posters who make such posts). As the online poker issue is before the committee, including two recent hearings, I feel this is outrageous and I hope you do as well!
  • Let's send the committee an email to HERE (comments@indian.senate.gov) to tell them that we should be allowed to exercise our rights to freedom of speech and to petition the government for redress of grievances -- rights guaranteed by the First Amendment. Let's also send them a prefilled, editable tweet HERE.
  • Let's post to the committee's FB wall HERE, and let's like the posts HERE and HERE.
  • Let's reach out to the U.S. House Subcommittee for Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade today as well with prefilled, fully editable tweets: HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE. [speed tip: use either the middle mouse button or the left one + CTRL to open each tweet in a new tab]
  • 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 (and please "like" this FB wall...thanks!).

The Senate Indian Affairs Committee unbanned me from their FB wall. I guess they're hearing from us.

Following yesterday's action plan (which targeted the Senate Indian Affairs Committee for banning pro-poker posters from their Facebook wall), the committee relented and reinstated previously banned posters! We're clearly being heard here, so let's keep it up.
  • Let's post and like respectful comments to the committee's FB wall HERE. Let's let them know the best way to get rid of us is not to ban us, but to pass pro-poker legislation. Let's also mention that legislation is good for tribal interests.
  • Let's send the prefilled tweet HERE to the committee.
  • 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.
