These will take you less than thirty seconds! Thank you for participating.

Let's reach out today to the GOP presidential candidates. Former Gov. Mitt Romney says he is evaluating the issue and is preparing a response, so it makes sense for us to reach out to him to ask him to support our right to play.

While doing so, we ought to reach out to the rest of the field as well. This will benefit us by demonstrating to them the fact that many Americans want this. It will also help us in the 2012 GOP Party Platform fight. We were close to getting the anti-online poker plank removed in 2008. I think we have a great shot at getting this out of the platform in 2012 if we all do our part:
  1. Send prefilled, editable tweets to the GOP presidential candidates: HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.
  2. Send a prefilled tweet promoting today's action plan HERE.
Please reply in this thread with "tweeted", "done", etc. to encourage others to participate. The past 83 actions have generated triple-digit participation, so let's keep it growing. Thanks!

========================

If you wish to do more today, let's reach out more to the House and Senate committees that held the poker hearings last week. We need to make a great final impression, so at minimum let's at least like the pro-poker posts there:
  1. Chair Mary Bono Mack asked for input on this issue on her Facebook wall, so let's provide lots of it. HERE
  2. Rep. Frank Wolf, who testified against our right to play at the Friday House hearing (his testimony), needs to hear from all of us. Here's a FB post where we can post comments. HERE
  3. Continue to reach out to both committees via Facebook with respectful requests for them to support poker. Please choose at least three. Simply like the pro-poker posts and make a short, supportive post of your own. When commenting on preexisting posts, please be sure the post is appropriate for pro-poker comments. [Speed tip: Search for "poker" and "2366" with CTRL-F, then choose "highlight", to identify poker posts quickly.]
  • United States Senate Committee on Indian Affairs: Facebook
  • House Committee on Energy and Commerce: Facebook
Subcommittee for Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade:
Senate Indian Affairs Committee:

These will take you just a few minutes! Thank you for participating.

Let's reach out to the GOP presidential candidates again today. Former Gov. Mitt Romney says he is evaluating the issue and is preparing a response, so it makes sense for us to reach out to him -- and the rest of the GOP field while we're at it -- to ask for support for our right to play.

This will benefit us by demonstrating the fact that many Americans want this. It will also help us in the 2012 GOP Party Platform fight. We were close to getting the anti-online poker plank removed in 2008. I think we have a great shot at getting this out of the platform in 2012 if we all do our part!
  1. Reach out to the GOP field via Facebook. It's as simple as posting a pro-poker comment and liking the other pro-poker comments. It can be something like: "HR 2366, Texas Republican Joe Barton’s Online Poker Act, provides revenue for the federal deficit. It creates new jobs as well, all without raising taxes. It also mandates strong consumer protection and effective age verification. Please support my rights by supporting online poker."
  2. Send a prefilled tweet promoting today's action plan HERE.
Please reply in this thread with "tweeted", "done", etc. to encourage others to participate. The past 84 actions have generated triple-digit participation, so let's keep it growing. Thanks!

These will take you just a few minutes! Thank you for participating. Let's reach out to GOP House and Senate leadership today, as they need to hear from us. Many anti-gaming types claim the American people wish to ban poker and that ALL gaming legislation is driven solely by industry lobbyists. Our efforts directly counter this incorrect mindset by demonstrating that there are real people who want their freedom behind the pro-poker effort.

So, please be sure to sign YOUR NAME to this effort by telling your lawmakers to support your rights. Let’s ensure that they know this liberty is being sought by millions of Americans, including you!
  1. Send prefilled, editable tweets: HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.
  2. Send a prefilled tweet promoting today's action plan HERE.
