Let's keep demanding action on online poker licensing legislation. For today, let's tell the Senate Commerce, Science, & Transportation Committee and the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee that we want them to add poker licensing to the transportation bill:
  1. Let's send the Senate Transportation Committee members + Sen. Reid, Sen. Kyl & Sen. McConnell NEW tweets: HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.
  2. Let's make and like pro-poker posts on the Facebook walls of lawmakers who've not heard much from us recently via the DAP Facebook actions: Rep. Michele Bachmann HERE, Rep. Michael Capuano HERE (on House Transportation Cmte.), Rep. Kathy Hochul HERE, Rep. Nancy Pelosi HERE, Rep. Bobby Rush HERE (supportive of poker, but has not yet cosponsored HR 2366), Rep. Jan Schakowsky HERE, and Rep. Bennie Thompson HERE
  3. Let's send a NEW prefilled tweet promoting today's action plan HERE, and let's share today's action HERE on our own Facebook walls.
Please reply in this thread with "signed', "tweeted", "done", etc.to encourage others to participate. The past 174 actions have generated triple-digit participation, and yesterday's action generated four-figure participation, so let's keep it growing. Thanks!

  • Rep. Bobby Rush HERE (supportive of poker, but has not yet cosponsored HR 2366)

Her office banned a bunch of us (me included, of course) a few months ago. She appears to be allowing us to stay this time around.

Kyl banned a bunch of us a few months ago as well. He also appears to be allowing us to stay now as well.

Someone running for the U.S. Senate out of Texas posted a response indicating his belief that online poker is a states' rights issue. There's interesting discussion: http://www.facebook.com/permalink.ph...85283361501471
