Will you take a few moments to stand up for poker? These items take just less than one minute to complete. Click your mouse and tell the House...and the Senate...that we demand our rights!

Let's focus on deficit super committee co-chair Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) today:
  1. Send a prefilled, editable pro-poker Twitter message HERE.
  2. "Like" his main FB page HERE.
    • You can unlike the page when you're done if you'd like.
  3. Post a pro-poker comment under the post HERE and like the other poker comments.
    • Either cut-and-paste, "Please ask the deficit super committee to support HR 2366, Rep. Barton's (R-TX) Online Poker Act. This bill raises $$$ without raising taxes. Thank you." or write your own.
  4. Please reply in this thread with "tweeted", "done", etc. to encourage others to participate as well.
The past NINE actions have generated triple-digit participation, so let's keep it growing. Thanks!

John Pappas and I wrote up PPA email member alerts that wiil go out to constituents of the deficit super committee members in the next day or two. This will bring a lot of new folks into our actions. I'm glad we have a lot of Facebook posts up for them to like.

Has it been shown that any tweets or postings on facebook to these politicians, brought attention to the any issues that were posted? I don't mean this question in disrespect just curious how much power this has behind it. I understand this is one of the few things we can do to fight this. Thanks again I hope people keep up the good work.

Yes. Rep. Barton cited this in an article on the legislation. We're also hearing about this from our lobbyists, who are telling us that lawmakers are commenting a lot on our activism.

Ok, y'all must be at work or something because there were only 3 comments to like after 12 hours. So, I'll go back in another 8 hours to like the hundreds of new comments that will be there on Clyburn's page! Gogogogogogogo.
