Let's tell Congress to support poker!
  1. Let's post and like pro-poker comments on the Facebook walls of some Congressmen in tough (or at least competitive) election fights this year: Rep. Judy Biggert HERE, Rep. Robert Dold HERE, Rep. Jim Renacci HERE, and Rep. Jon Runyan HERE.
  2. Let's send prefilled, editable tweets to GOP leadership: HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.
  3. Let's keep letting anti-gaming group Focus on the Family/CitizensLink know that an outright ban on online gaming is out of reach and that any Congressional legislation on the issue will need to include provisions for licensing of online poker by liking the pro-poker comments at the end of the article HERE. Comments are closed, but out upvotes on the pro-poker comments there will demonstrate support for our position.
  4. Let's send a prefilled tweet promoting today's action plan HERE (or retweet the tweet HERE), and let's share today's action on our own Facebook walls HERE.
Please reply in this thread with "tweeted", "done", etc. to encourage others. Thanks for participating!

The NJ online gaming bill has been delayed until fall, according to state Sen. Lesniak, sponsor of the legislation (here). It sounds like we need to reach out to Gov. Christie.
  1. Let's send Gov. Christie a prefilled, editable tweet in support of New Jersey's proposed legislation (S 1565) HERE. Let's contact him via Facebook HERE as well.
  2. Let's tweet the Venetian and the Palazzo with pro-poker messages HERE, HERE, and HERE, and let's Facebook them HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE. Sheldon Adelson needs to hear from all of us.
  3. Let's send a prefilled tweet promoting today's action plan HERE (or retweet the tweet HERE), and let's share today's action on our own Facebook walls HERE.

I'm finishing up the action plan. Part of it will be to sign a new petition to specific Members of Congress. I hope everyone will sign: https://www.change.org/petitions/let...g-online-poker. Thanks!
