Great job reaching the entire Senate last week! Let's reach out the U.S. House now. These take just a few minutes. Thank you for participating:

NEW editable tweets to U.S. Congressmen: HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.
Let's tweet NY Gov. Cuomo with a pro-poker tweet HERE.
Let's send a prefilled tweet promoting the weekend action plan HERE.

Please reply in this thread with "tweeted", "done", etc. to encourage others to participate. The past 112 actions have generated triple-digit participation, so let's keep it growing. Thanks!

If you wish to do more today, let's continue to reach out to the Senate Indian Affairs Committee and the House Energy and Commerce Committee via Facebook with respectful requests for them to support poker. 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.

HR 2366, Rep. Barton’s (R-TX) 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.

Former FBI Director Louis Freeh and former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge say it is time to license online poker in the U.S. WiredSafety concluded that "combining a thoughtful regulatory scheme with education, technology tools, and support appears to be the most effective means of handling the realities and risks" of online poker. U.S.-based horse race wagering sites have proven that online betting sites can successfully implement these protections.

With the recent DoJ determination that the Wire Act applies to sports betting only, many in the Congress will wish to revisit this issue. Please support my rights by supporting online poker. Thank you!
