Cliffs:
- Submit pro-poker CNN presidential debate questions now via Twitter HERE and HERE. If you can, it's best to edit these a bit to give them some individuality.
- Either go HERE to schedule tweets for around 8 pm ET on 10/18 or tweet them again yourself around 8 pm ET on 10/18.
- Like the pro-poker Facebook debate questions HERE and HERE, then like and post pro-poker questions/comments there and on the main wall HERE. Start with something like, "To all the candidates: What is your position on the licensing, regulation and taxation of online poker?" To find all the poker questions, hit CTRL-F and search for "poker". Use "highlight all" to spot the poker posts.
- Submit pro-poker questions directly to CNN HERE. Again, try something like, "To all the candidates: What is your position on the licensing, regulation and taxation of online poker?"
- Send a prefilled tweet promoting the action plan HERE.
Details:
CNN is airing the Oct. 18th presidential debate air live from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET from the Venetian in Las Vegas.
CNN is seeking questions for candidates via the
CNN Politics fan page on Facebook, Twitter (using the #CNNDebate hashtag), and
their website. So, let's submit some pro-poker questions. As this debate is in Las Vegas, we will be topical.
The site states that the questions and comments are "submitted in real-time," so let's submit them now and then resubmit them right as the debate starts. We can either use
www.twuffer.com to schedule tweets in advance or we can submit them ourselves as the debate starts.
Please reply in this thread with "posted", "done", etc. to encourage others to participate. The past
48 actions have generated triple-digit participation, so let's keep it growing. Thanks!
