New Action Plan - For Florida Residents Only

If you live in Florida – Email Your Florida State Legislators:

To get Internet poker authorized in Florida, we need to find at least one State Senator and one State Representative who will sponsor our legislation. Follow these steps:

Find the names of your Florida State Representative and State Senator HERE.
Find the email addresses for your Senator and Representative in our lists HERE.
Download our Information Packet to attach to your emails: infopack.pdf
Use the sample email below to compose your emails to send, one to your Senator and one to your Representative, with our Information Packet attached.
Post here when done, with the names of your Senator & Representative, so we can keep track of who has been contacted. (Send yours even if someone else has already emailed the same ones.)

Quote:

Dear [Senator]/[Representative] ________,

I am a Florida resident and voter in your district. I am also a grassroots member of the iPokerFlorida campaign to authorize Internet poker in Florida.

I am writing to ask you to sponsor our legislation to license and regulate Internet poker in Florida, for the 2016 session of the Florida legislature.

Our draft bill is comprehensive legislation which will:

• Provide new income for Florida parimutuels without expanding the games they offer.
• Establish Florida as the gold standard of regulated Internet poker.
• Make Florida the top destination for poker players, bringing more tourism, jobs and revenues to the state.

Included are stringent standards and requirements which provide extensive protections to:

• Detect and prevent compulsive and addictive gambling behavior.
• Prevent the participation of the underage.
• Ensure consumer privacy and safety.
• Secure player funds against cheating, fraud and theft.
• Ensure fair gaming.
• Detect and prevent money laundering.

An information packet is attached to this email which contains further detailed information, including the full text of the draft bill. Please take a look at the information provided to decide if you would like to sponsor this legislation.

You may be interested to know that our bill is written by and for poker players. Our campaign is completely grassroots, a movement by thousands of poker players within Florida and elsewhere. Although we do invite the Florida cardrooms and poker network providers to join us in a coalition to forward this legislation, there are no vested stakeholders financing or controlling our efforts.

I look forward to your response.

Kind Regards,

ICYMI: Florida poker players need to do this:

Without it, lawmakers will think none of their voters want Internet poker.

Thanks for participating! Please continue to do them as they come out. They can be done from anywhere, not just Florida.

I have three threads going on twoplustwo in different forums, a facebook page and the twitter account. I don't ask participants to post back here when they have done the Action Plan - I monitor the Twitter account and can see who and how many participate there. More would be great, of course.

The Action Plans for sending Tweets are really just a support for the behind-the-scenes lobbying. It's a good way to make the issue known to the legislators and give them a sense of the grassroots support for it.

But really, that's not how things actually get acted upon at the state Capitol. There is a lot more that has to be done on the ground, and eventually there will have to be a large amount of funds donated to actually get the bill moved. I am currently investigating and working up plans to move forward with what is needed.
