Yep...we know they are paying attention. That's what we want here.

I just signed up for twitter... wow it is easy to tweet!

So I tweeted and facebooked. Hope Reid issues a statement on 9/14 about poker in his 'town hall', so far those have been shams

Tweeted. Posted on Facebook but comments are disappearing again. Pretty annoying but whatever. Time to create a new account.

There are now 303 tweets to #AskReidTH regarding poker, vs. 168 tweets that do not mention poker.

I would have been happy just to be #1, but an outright majority is very nice at this stage.

The ones that do not reference poker include a couple of people with 20+ tweets each, questions like “will you retire today?,” and other random tweets, so we’re even further ahead.

Okay gonna bitch! I have to say as many active people as there are on 2+2 and with so many of them US players, I can't believe how few are taking the little bit of time it takes to do these daily tasks.

I'm sure you'll all be there to enjoy and profit from our efforts if and when legislation gets passed, so why not help out now.

I'm sure many feel the efforts are futile and that the US will never get legislation but what does it hurt to at least try! Remember the squeakiest wheel get the oil.

Come on people I know there are plenty of you who look at this thread and still do nothing, so stop looking and get to doing!

There are four posts here: http://www.facebook.com/jonkyl/posts/137192596373583 that don't use the word "poker" in them, including mine that tells the world that he's censoring us. Everybody go like these four comments! Thanks!

(I actually posted twice but my other post did use the word poker and of course, it is gone.)
