Would anyone care to reply to an anti-poker post on Toomey's wall? http://www.facebook.com/senatortoome...65506193461369

I can see this page, but I can't vote up any of the questions. I tried IE and Mozilla, I don't have anything else.

FWIW, my comments stopped appearing right after I posted the same comment on both of Pat Toomey's pages.

It doesn't give you a confirmation, but you'll see the vote total increase when you vote.

We need just a couple more likes to get this to triple digits. Also, I made a new post on Sen. Toomey's wall: http://www.facebook.com/patricktoome...22526784513340

Very awesome! Just a few months ago, pro-poker posts on facebook were only getting 20-30 "likes."

Will you take a few moments to stand up for poker? It will take you just ten seconds. Thank you for participating!
  1. If you didn't over the weekend, "like" Sen. Pat Toomey's main Facebook page HERE (you can unlike it when you're done) then
  2. Like the pro-poker post HERE (it's a different post from the weekend one...it's more conservatively themed for a conservative lawmaker), then
  3. Vote YES HERE and HERE on pro-poker YouTube Town Hall questions.
====================

If you wish to do more today:

Today's Action: Tell Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) to Push the Debt Super Committee to Include Online Poker Legislation


Simply click HERE to post your Facebook message asking Sen. Pat Toomey to protect our right to play online poker by supporting HR 2366 (please try to get the bill number correct in your posts)! Please "like" the other pro-poker posts there as well.

The last FIVE actions generated over 100 likes each. Let's all to our part to bump this action to triple digits as well!

====================

Recurring action: Tell the Debt Super Committee to Include Online Poker Legislation

U.S. House and Senate leaders have appointed twelve members of Congress to serve on the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction. This “super committee" is charged with developing policies to reduce the U.S. deficit. This is a great opportunity for us to make our voices heard. Let's go to their Facebook pages and let them know that we want them to take action on the online poker issue!

The names with an “x” in front of them are those who do not allow direct posting on their Facebook wall. Simply post a comment in response to an appropriate post (i.e., one suitable for a pro-poker comment) already on the page. PLEASE remember to say please and thank you. Courtesy goes a long way.

Let's all also remember to revisit these walls to like the pro-poker posts and comments made since your last visit. Thanks!

Here's the Super Committee:



Republicans

Dave Camp: Facebook Facebook Twitter Contact
x Jeb Hensarling: Facebook Facebook Facebook post on which we can comment Twitter Contact
Fred Upton: Facebook Facebook Twitter Contact

Senators:
x Rob Portman: Facebook Facebook post on which we can comment Twitter Contact (site set to censor the word "poker")
x Jon Kyl: Facebook Facebook post on which we can comment (actively deletes pro-poker posts) Contact

Senators:

x Max Baucus: Facebook Facebook post on which we can comment Contact (it's not Rep. Spencer Bachus, so please don't blast him! ) (site set to censor the word "poker")
John Kerry: Facebook Facebook Twitter Contact

If we could Id like to get everyone to add a thank you and a smiley face at the end of their message. When it comes to online messages and believe me I know quite bit about that (15k post ) it can go a long way to make a friend.

Many players have great hope for the Super Committee. Have the rules for the Super Committee been decided yet? Simple majority before recommendation to house and senate? Majority of 6 house members and majority of 6 Senators needed? Something else?

The final rules have not yet been set.

Tomorrow's action will be to return to Sen. Kerry's wall. A 2+2er from Mass. made a good post. As he's a constituent, I think it's a good one to bring attention to: http://www.facebook.com/johnkerry/po...50243144192294
