It will take you less than thirty seconds! Thank you for participating. Let's focus on House Financial Services Committee Chairman Spencer Bachus (R-AL):
  1. Like the main FB page HERE (you can unlike when done).
  2. Like the poker posts HERE and post a pro-poker comment of your own there as well (you don't have to like Bachus' post to like comments or to post your own).
  3. Send a prefilled, editable pro-poker Twitter message HERE.
  4. Wait at least an hour, then send another Twitter message HERE (you can track the messages here).
Please reply in this thread with "tweeted", "done", etc. to encourage others to participate as well. The past SIXTEEN actions have generated triple-digit participation, so let's keep it growing. Thanks!

Done, except the 2nd tweet, which I'll do later.

Note, there are two comments on Bachus' page that refer to H.R. 2236 -- not H.R.2366 and neither mentions poker. I'm assuming they are just typos, but don't know for sure so I didn't "like" them.

H.R. 2366!

We did hit triple-digits yesterday, but I had to Skype and email a bunch of poker players to get the final ten participants. Let's not get complacent now, as we are being heard as never before.

I am confident everyone here is dying to tell Bachus that we demand our rights, so let's all take the 30 seconds it will take to make that happen. Thanks!

H.R. 2366!
H.R. 2236: Wildlife Refuge System Conservation Semipostal Stamp Act of 2011

It's still active, so I would assume they weren't typos.

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h112-2236

That would be pretty brilliant of whoever is behind it if they are piggybacking our posts to get a few extra likes.

Thanks for looking it up. I confess, I thought about it but was too lazy.
And, +1 to what you said about them piggybacking.

Harry Reid is doing a Facebook townhall Q/A on September 14th. While we know he is on our side we need to be reminding him to put us on the Jobs/Deficit table this fall. Use tag #AskReidTH to ask him to encourage him to help us more.

Tweet him something like this.
