Simply click HERE to post your Facebook message asking Sen. Kerry 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 SIX actions generated over 100 likes each. Let's all to our part to bump this action to triple digits as well!


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:

Damn do I hate twitter, I feel like I'm 90 years old trying to figure out a cell phone.

We have 57 likes already...just 43 more for our 7th consecutive triple-digit action. Please help: http://www.facebook.com/johnkerry/po...50243144192294

We need 28 more likes to hit 100.

IMO it's very important to keep up the momentum of triple-digit daily participation. In fact, as it looks like it will be close, I just spent an hour emailing and PMing poker players with requests that they visit this thread to take action. Seriously, this is important. Please take a moment and like the post. Thanks!

If it makes you feel any better, I never use twitter from my phone. Always through twitter dot com.

We need just seven more likes. Thanks.

Hmmm....guess I'll just post about that "great American card game" instead.

It was tough today, but we just hit 100! Woo hoo!!

Let's all call Congress and respectfully demand our rights. These should be short, friendly calls. These are not debates, so there is no need to worry about preparation. Rather, the goal of the call is simply to let these lawmakers know that their constituents support the right to play. PPA sent an email to its active members with a similar request, so we can expect Congress to get an earful from poker enthusiasts!

For the phone numbers of your elected representatives, either click here or visit the PPA Take Action page and scroll down to item #2.

Here are some tips on what to say to the staffer who answers the phone:

• I am a constituent, voter and a poker enthusiast.
• (For Representatives) Please support H.R. 2366, a bipartisan bill to license and regulate Internet poker.
• (For Senators) H.R. 2366 has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives. I would like the Senator to support Senate legislation to license and regulate Internet poker.
• Regulation means strong consumer protections as well as billions of dollars in federal and state revenue.
• Please support my freedoms and support this bill.
• Thank you.
• I would like a response from the Representative/Senator.

Let's also continue to own a lot of Facebook pages (senators, congressmen, Congressional committees, etc.). We need lots of posts on the issue of poker and lots of "liking" of pro-poker comments:

• The House Committee on Energy and Commerce Facebook page is here.
• The House Financial Services Committee's Facebook page is here.
• The Dept. of Justice's Facebook page is here.

Thanks!

For anyone that lives in Minnesota have you ever received any type of message back from Amy Klobuchar? I've sent these messages numerous times and I've never even received a message back saying they got my email when I use the capwiz site, but the last time I actually went to her web site and sent a message and got a return email. I'm wondering if the capwiz site is sending the emails to her into cyber space.

I should get a reply from Feinstein in about 3-6 months, if history is any guide.

Done. PPA links wouldn't work for my senators (of course) so I went to their websites and sent through those.

Sent from the Speaker's district. It's doubtful, but if that NYP article is right maybe I'll get more than a standard form response.

i think this one's gonna do it.

We're at 75 participants so far (I have ninja skills that allow me to look up the number ). Let's get 25 more for another triple-digit day.

Sent it last time and I sent it again: -). Would it be helpful to say where we are? I'm in Michigan
