These will take you just a few minutes! Thank you for participating. Let's get round three of pro-poker tweets to GOP House and Senate leadership today, as they need to hear from us. Many anti-gaming types claim the American people wish to ban poker and that ALL gaming legislation is driven solely by industry lobbyists. Our efforts directly counter this incorrect mindset by demonstrating that there are real people who want their freedom behind the pro-poker effort.

So, please be sure to sign YOUR NAME to this effort by telling your lawmakers to support your rights. Let’s ensure that they know this liberty is being sought by millions of Americans, including you!
  1. Send NEW prefilled, editable tweets: HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.
  2. Send a prefilled tweet promoting today's action plan HERE.
Please reply in this thread with "tweeted", "done", etc. to encourage others to participate. The past 86 actions have generated triple-digit participation, so let's keep it growing. Thanks!

----------------

If you wish to do more today, please continue to reach out to the GOP field via Facebook. It's as simple as posting a pro-poker comment and liking the other pro-poker comments. It can be something like: "HR 2366, Texas Republican Joe Barton’s 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. Please support my rights by supporting online poker."

Former Gov. Mitt Romney says he is evaluating the issue and is preparing a response, so it makes sense for us to ask him -- and the rest of the GOP field while we're at it -- to support our right to play:

Likewise. I was bombarded on here page too. I don't take it personally; were going to have some haters. As long as we drive out point across no one can sway our ideologies!

Did the tweets and another round of FB posts.

I added my name to the tweets, but I had to shorten them to make it fit. This slows the process a bit, and my full name is only a total of 9 characters so I'm sure others have had to do this as well. I'd suggest shortening future tweets to avoid this problem, as I agree that signing them is a good idea.

I think just tweeting is signing your name to the effort. My sajeffe is my signature.

Same here.

Also, one thing we can all do to do this to create Twitter accounts under our real names specifically for these actions. Mine is at http://twitter.com/#!/RichMuny. Granted, I don't post here anonymously so it's easy for me to say, but anyone who wants to sign with a real name anyway should be able to do this.

Yeah I have a screen name, but my real name is on my profile. I was also adding - My Name to the end of the tweets. Maybe I take things a bit too literally.
