Will you take a few moments to stand up for poker? It will take you just ten seconds. Thank you for participating!
- If you didn't over the weekend, "like" Sen. Pat Toomey's main Facebook page HERE (you can unlike it when you're done) then
- Like the pro-poker post HERE (it's a different post from the weekend one...it's more conservatively themed for a conservative lawmaker), then
- Vote YES HERE and HERE on pro-poker YouTube Town Hall questions.

Recurring action: Tell the Debt Super Committee to Include Online Poker Legislation
Recurring action: Tell the Debt Super Committee to Include Online Poker Legislation
U.S. House and Senate leaders have appointed twelve members of Congress to serve on the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction. This “super committee" is charged with developing policies to reduce the U.S. deficit. This is a great opportunity for us to make our voices heard. Let's go to their Facebook pages and let them know that we want them to take action on the online poker issue!
The names with an “x” in front of them are those who do not allow direct posting on their Facebook wall. Simply post a comment in response to an appropriate post (i.e., one suitable for a pro-poker comment) already on the page. PLEASE remember to say please and thank you. Courtesy goes a long way.
Let's all also remember to revisit these walls to like the pro-poker posts and comments made since your last visit. Thanks!

Thanks! 
Yes. I mentioned earlier that our lobbyists have reported that many lawmakers are mentioning that they are hearing from a bunch of us via Facebook. This is making a difference.
Participation has doubled over the past week, so I expect the impact of the effort to go up as well. My hope is that increased participation encourages more participation, snowballing over time.
