Just wanna say that i saw some people commenting on 9/11 rememberence posts with poker stuff. I think thats both in poor taste and bad for our cause so just find the most recent post they have talking about deficits or the super committee or whatever.
Yes...no one should do that.

To anyone here to did that: please go back and delete your post. Thanks.

Tweeps, check out the #AskReidTH, which is the feed for @SenatorReid's Twitter town hall Monday. The online poker advocates have invaded!

There are now 303 tweets to #AskReidTH regarding poker, vs. 168 tweets that do not mention poker. I would have been happy just to be #1, but an outright majority is very nice at this stage.

The ones that do not reference poker include a couple of people with 20+ tweets each, questions like “will you retire today?,” and other random tweets, so we’re even further ahead.

I am going to be mega annoyed if the guy who is bought out by Vegas doesn't talk about online poker at his townhall after our Twitter campaign

I can think of so many 2p2 regs who aren't contributing to this. So frustrating.
