(Reposting this with the links live this time.)
H.R. 2366 has to go through three committees in the House. Energy and Commerce, Judiciary, and Financial Services. This is the third and final list of committee members (for the House) -- Financial Services. Let’s facebook them!!
The FOR/AGAINST/UNDECIDED/UNKNOWN after each name is based on H.R.1174, which was an internet gambling law, not specific to poker, so don’t assume they still feel the same.
The names with an “x” in front of them are those who do not allow direct posting on their facebook wall. The reason, most likely, is problems with people campaigning on the page. The House Ethics Committee says the facebook pages cannot be used for campaigning so when some innocent enthusiastic devotee gets on there and campaigns, they have to change it so no one can make direct posts.
No problem for us. Just post a comment in response to a post already on the page. PLEASE BE SENSITIVE about this though. If the post says the congressperson is being treated for cancer, don’t bother them with poker. Tell them to get well soon. Be sensitive to what’s going on in their state too – wild fires, tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding, etc.
And PLEASE say please and thank you. Courtesy goes a long way.
Oh, and let’s all try to get the bill number correct. It’s H.R. 2366. Thanks!
