Has the fight for poker become a twitter and facebook campaign? I don't think this is going to help, it will just be ignored.

Can't we call these people's offices and tell them something?
Or can the PPA sue the DOJ for delaying disbursements to players?

What more can regular individuals do outside of twitter, facebook, and write their lawmakers? Obv the PPA is in Washington DC lobbying on behalf of the players, we just can't see it on a daily basis. And if you watched some of the hearings in-front of congress about Ipoker, lawmakers have gone out of their way to say they heard from tons of people on facebook about how poker should be legal on a federal level...

Sure, why not try and get through on the phone, can't hurt...

Delaying compared to what PS I guess? There isn't anything the DOJ has to do. Really if they wanted to sit on the money indefinitely it seems like they could.

done!

PPA has lobbyists working Capitol Hill. Grassroots efforts augment that. We're certainly not limited to Twitter and Facebook. Many of us send Congress a prewritten letter each six weeks and call with about the same frequency. Many meet with their senators and congressmen when those lawmakers are in town. Some even volunteer to help pro-poker lawmakers in their campaigns. And, many become paid members of PPA to show solidarity and to help fund the lobbying effort.

The social media outreach is about us demonstrating support for our position, showing a strong level of organization, and showing that the opposition is not all our opponents claim them to be (We rarely see much, if any, anti-gaming grassroots action on social media).

Here's an interview I did with more detail:


No. We can't sue the government, unfortunately.

I wish there were a shortcut.
