Let's keep demanding action on online poker licensing legislation:
  1. Let's post and like pro-poker comments on the Facebook walls of Sen. Kyl, Sen. Reid, and Sen. McConnell HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.
  2. Let's send Sen. Kyl, Sen. Reid, Sen. McConnell, and members of the Senate Homeland Security Committee NEW tweets requesting addition of online poker licensing to the Cybersecurity Act: HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.
  3. The online poker petition HERE has over 4400 signatures -- in just three days! Let's keep promoting it via the NEW prefilled tweets HERE & HERE and by asking others (friends, pros, etc.) to ship the tweet and to share the post HERE on their Facebook walls.
  4. Let's send a NEW prefilled tweet promoting today's action plan HERE, and let's share today's action on our own Facebook walls HERE.
Please reply in this thread with "signed', "tweeted", "done", etc.to encourage others to participate. The past 169 actions have generated triple-digit participation, and two the past three actions have generated four-figure participation, so let's keep it growing. Thanks!


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

If you wish to do more today, please consider posting pro-poker comments to some the Facebook walls of some senators HERE. We can't do them all at once, of course, but let's all try to hit three of these each day.
