From Internet Poker Forum Cross-Post

done. thank you.

Done. I had a printed letter sent to every person it would let me. And shared with family/friends to do as well. We need everyone pushing this! We have to do something.

54th

Done!

Just quoting this cuz it needs to be heard.

done and done

You're just causing more work for an office full of underpaid secretary's/clerks.

Unique letters being received are getting some consideration but as soon as mass mailings or organized campaign letters arrive they just get bundled and counted. So someone will report 'we got 240.000 letters on that poker thing' instead of 60.000. A waste of time. Nobody will read the actual content anyway if you're just one of the many sheep following the herd.

Get back to me when your representative puts a halt on these on prosecutions. In the meantime, I challenge you to reassess how cynical of politics you actually are. Spend 60 MINUTES reading this Anarchist Theory FAQ written by a GMU professor named Bryan Caplan (look him up to verify his credentials + links to a mainstream blog and other mainstream writing credits.)

done.

Also if ya'll can, you should give them a telephone call. Calling on the phone is really helpful and probably more powerful than sending an email.
It shows a higher level of dedication and is almost as easy as sending an email.

It’s sad that this thread is only 4 pages long!! This should be the thread that has 182 pages and 1 million views...let’s all stop bitching about something that happened out of our control and start taking action about what we can control.

If we just roll over and die that’s exactly what’s going to happen. There are millions of us who play poker in the US...I promise if we ALL flooded their phone lines in Washington they would listen to us.

Do you remember in Shawshank Redemption when he wrote 1 letter a week to get funding for the library in the prison well it took him 2 years but he got it done. Let’s all do our part call, write letters, send emails.

REMEMBER we vote these people in WE decide who works in Washington!! If millions of us call and remind them believe me they will get up off their fat bureaucratic asses.

If they want to not pass a law to legalize poker and let us make a living... then we will fire them and put someone in that will...we need to make that very clear to them!!

Time to fight back!!

I clicked the buttons. I hope it pays some dividends eventually.

done.

Anyone know how to get the phone numbers? When I hit submit again when it says "Enter your ZIP code and click "Submit It" to get their phone numbers", it just keeps re-routing me back to the email screen.

I've got nothing to do but call over and over again today, obv.

done, also wrote a nice rant to my governors facebook page letting him know that I was laid off and if he wanted to create jobs he should consider legalizing online poker

Done.

The replies in this thread need to reach the thousands.

Obama went after you because of the 3 Billion dollars. Nothing else. He will sign any poker legislation but you have to get it through the house and that will be tough with the budget and debt ceiling fights coming.

Does it hurt?

Done.

By far the best post so far on this tragedy. Everybody needs to get this sent around

sent, and will follow up with printed letters and phone calls.

thanks.

done, should be mandatory that all members contact them imo, good post.

done, but it took me 33 seconds...

done

thanks bro

Not only is it possible to do something - It's important to something.

Let me give you an encouraging example: A couple of years ago, the same thing that happens to PS and FTP happened to ************.org (Sweden). Many users were upset and decided to take action. They sent a massive amount of emails to politicians, they shut down the police, the procuratorate's and the governments homepages, they demonstrated etc etc. Some of these actions are obviously illegal in many countries, but never the less serve as an example of how many peoples voice can make a difference. This started a huge debate and many politicians changed their opinion. Even a political party was formed that have representatives in the EU parliament now. Today, Wikileaks have their severs in Sweden because they consider it a safe from political interference.

Sending emails is a good start!
