United States poker players week long phone call campaign United States poker players week long phone call campaign

04-16-2011 , 04:42 PM
It's time to stand up and voice our displeasure with our government. We will not sit silently while online poker sites are shut down. We WILL make our voices heard.

I call for a week long phone call campaign, starting Monday the 18th.

Here are some phone numbers.




Southern District of New York (212) 637-2600

DOJ Office of the Attorney General Public Comment Line - 202-353-1555

White House Phone Numbers Comments: 202-456-1111




call EVERY ****ING DAY. Call them several times a day, call them twenty times a day, JUST ****ING CALL THEM AND TELL THEM HOW YOU ****ING FEEL GOD DAMNIT! How many of us are going to lose our bankrolls because of this? How many of us are going to lose future income because of this? TELL THESE ****ERS THEY OWE US OUR ****ING MONEY.

I'm ****ing serious people, ****ing call them every god damn day. I'm going to, and I want each and every one of you to join me.

I'm going to mention this, even though it should go without saying. DO NOT make any threats whatsoever unless it's something like "I'm gonna move to a different country" or some ****. You don't want to land your ass in federal prison. Don't be dumb, don't make threats.



The time is now. Make your voices heard.


TOGETHER WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL

Yeah I'm in, should probably put this is some higher traffic forums though.

It's in 5 and is about to be posted to /b/ where I saw a thread about all this crap last night.


Traffic doesn't get much higher than /b/

Pretty sure calling the DA's office will not get them to stop a criminal prosecution.

Edit: Sorry to ruin your black panther party.

I guess it couldn't be any less effective than voting. Give those secretaries hell.

LirvA posted this in NVG, but it got locked. The mods there are auto locking all new threads and banning the OPs. Here's the main "Harass Congress" thread:

The PPA has been around for years, what good did it do? I would urge people to do the exact opposite and not waste 1 breath on a politician's phone line.

Watching people beg their masters to allow them to survive is quite sad.

+1, they couldn't care less what you think.

This is what happens when you elect people who think they have the right to control other people's lives.

Whether it's Republitards who want to control your morals and values or Demotards who think your money belongs to the government, at the end of the day they all think the have the right to control anything and everything about you and your life because "they know best"

As long as you keep shuffling boneheads like this in office it's gonna keep getting worse.
04-16-2011 , 05:58 PM
Unfortunately most people value controlling other people more than they value other peoples' freedom to do things they don't care to do themselves.

you assume that "not calling politicians" = "doing nothing"

I mean, I could write a few letters to Santa Claus too.
04-17-2011 , 12:14 AM
Well what the **** are you people doing? What's your ****ing plans?


All along there's been posters bitching and moaning about the lack of action from players, saying it's gonna take the sky to ****ing fall before they finally do something. The sky has fallen, and there's STILL ****ing players not doing a god damn thing.
04-17-2011 , 12:14 AM
Add others to the ****ing list. Call the DOJ, FBI, whitehouse, congress, local political **** tards, the ****ing library, the ****ing school news paper, CALL ANY ****ING BODY AND BITCH THEM THE **** OUT GOD DAMNIT

I swear to ****ing god I am mother ****ing SICK of seeing posts by people saying "let's do this, let's try this, maybe we should do this, maybe we should try this" and then god damn **** tards come in and say "oh no we shouldn't do that, oh no that's pointles, oh no, oh no, oh no."


**** YOU ALL

Calling does nothing. At all.

If you really care, pool money and lobby. Both parties could care less, the only shot is bombarding these crooks with cash.

August 12th, 2079, headline

All out war has broken out between humans and robotic aliens from outer space somewhere. Some are trying to fight but others are picking **** out of their asses and playing X box or some dumb ****ing bull**** like that.

When asked to comment on why they pick their asses and play video games instead of fighting they say "meh, that does no good. They're robotic aliens from outer space FFS!"

I THOUGHT I WAS SMART, I THOUGHT I WAS RIGHT
I THOUGHT IT BETTER NOT TO FIGHT
I THOUGHT THERE WAS A VIRTUE IN ALWAYS BEING COOL
SO IT CAME TIME TO FIGHT, I THOUGHT I'LL JUST STEP ASIDE AND THAT THE TIME WOULD PROVE YOU WRONG, AND THAT YOU WOULD BE THE FOOL

TO FIGHT IS TO DEFEND
IF IT'S NOT NOW THEN TELL ME WHEN WOULD BE THE TIME THAT YOU'D STAND UP AND BE A MAN?
FOR TO LOSE I COULD ACCEPT, BUT TO SURRENDER I JUST WEPT AND REGRETTED THIS MOMENT
OH THAT I, I WAS THE FOOL
I WAS THE FOOL

CAUSE I'M A MAN, NOT A BOY, AND THERE ARE THINGS YOU CAN'T AVOID, YOU HAVE TO FACE THEM WHEN YOU'RE NOT PREPARED TO FACE THEM
IF I COULD, I WOULD, BUT YOU'RE WITH HIM NOW IT'D DO NO GOOD, I SHOULD HAVE FOUGHT HIM
BUT INSTEAD I LET HIM
I LET HIM TAKE IT
I LET HIM TAKE IT

Reality is a bummer. At least the politards aren't blowing smoke like tptb on other forums., yeah, write your senator, that'll help a bunch.
04-17-2011 , 12:31 AM
Lol. What do you think calling is going to do?
04-17-2011 , 12:45 AM
Yelling at a secretary will definitely make things happen! If that were true we'd have a brick wall from San Diego to Miami.
04-17-2011 , 01:01 AM
This thread is depressing me.

Never has WAAF seemed more appropriate.
