this forum is about medical devices, glad we hit up the Energy/Commerce Committee, but I don't think was the right time. We should have asked for a future forum about jobs/poker.

The URL does not ever change. A new URL is created with each title change, the every old URL continues to work.

I created a shortcut URL some time ago, http://******/takeaction, that you may find useful as well.

Our goal here was to demonstrate broad support for our position to a very relevant committee. We succeeded. Helping us was the fact that the FB announcement was nicely nonspecific.

September 20 & September 21, 2011

Given the events of this morning, plus the fact that the E&C hearing just concluded, let's start tomorrow's action early.

Let's tell the Justice Department that ALL player funds held by Full Tilt Poker rightfully belong to the players. We can do this in less than 30 seconds.

Send a prefilled, editable pro-poker Twitter message HERE.
- Verify that your Twitter account is not set to "private".
Try to wait at least an hour, then send another Twitter message HERE.
Like the FB page HERE (you can unlike when done if you wish), then like the pro-poker comment HERE.
Return to the main page HERE to post and like pro-poker comments. Either cut-and-paste the following, or write your own:
- "Funds seized from Full Tilt Poker and its processors rightfully belong to the players. Will you use all recovered funds, including those from prior payment processor seizures, to repay players? Thank you."
Send a prefilled tweet promoting today's action plan HERE.
Follow the daily action plan on Twitter HERE and on Facebook HERE.

Please reply in this thread with "tweeted", "done", etc. to encourage others to participate. Please also consider revising your profile location to indicate support for the action thread. The past 27 actions have generated triple-digit participation, so let's keep it growing. Thanks!

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

If you wish to do more, let's call the Justice Department and share our thoughts on the FTP situation. Some contact info:

Department of Justice Main Switchboard: (202) 514-2000
Office of the Attorney General Public Comment Line: (202) 353-1555
Office of the Attorney General: (202) 514-2001
Jim Eastman: (239) 745-5919 (anti-player Eastman comment)

The DoJ testified to Congress their opinion that Americans are not breaking federal law in playing (they believe sites themselves are not lawful, though): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTvd8...outu.be&t=2m8s.

Some tips:

If you do not wish to identify yourself as a poker player, perhaps refer to yourself as a "poker enthusiast" or something like that.
If you wish to state that you have a balance locked up on a site but prefer not to mention that you have played the game online for money, simply do not volunteer the extra information. State that you have money locked up on a site and leave it at that.
I am not a lawyer, so please do not construe any of this as legal advice.

Morning of September 20, 2011

If you haven't done this yet, please go ahead and do this one. It will take you less than thirty seconds! The House Committee on Energy and Commerce has asked for Facebook and Twitter questions for today's jobs forum. As this is the committee that will hear HR 2366, let's hit this one good. We want them to hear from lots of us.

The forum is at 2:30 pm ET, so try to get this entire plan done by then. If you cannot, let's still send these out throughout the day -- it will help us to show support within this important committee for our position.

Send a prefilled, editable pro-poker Twitter message HERE.
- Verify that your Twitter account is not set to "private".
Try to wait at least an hour (but send prior to that if necessary to get it sent by 2 pm ET), then send another Twitter message HERE.
Like the FB page HERE (you can unlike when done if you wish), then post and like pro-poker comments HERE.
Send a prefilled tweet promoting today's action plan HERE.
Follow the daily action plan on Twitter HERE and on Facebook HERE.

TruFloridaGator, Jax and others are supporting the effort by giving away coaching to active participants. Please see Fight for Poker Rights/Free SNG Coaching Giveaway - New Prizes! for more.
