True, but at least there's a "sorted by popularity" link on the left side.

I'm still trying to get to a point where I can actually give it a thumps up and have it accept. I got a page to put my phone number, but then I went around in circles again. Gave up for now.

I don't know, but I updated the action to add the poker question that is currently in the #1 spot.

I give up on the Google thing. All I ever get is a blank page after clicking on the check marks and "granting access" to the "google moderator." Did the FB x3 though so that will have to do.

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 four 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

x James Clyburn: Facebook Facebook post on which we can comment (first site set to censor the word "poker") Facebook (second site permits direct posting) Twitter Contact
x Xavier Becerra: Facebook Facebook post on which we can comment Twitter Contact

A Republican senator from Pennsylvania appointed to the "super committee." "Like" him because it's the only way to post or "like" comments on his page.

And to "like" Keith's comment you can go to the main page HERE, click on "most recent" and scroll down until you find it.

2. I found Kieth's like button. OK.

3. When I click the check mark, google asks for authorization to access my account or something. I say no. No access from anyone allowed. Is that some kind of scam?

It's a YouTube townhall. Google owns YouTube. They already have all your info. Grant access, but you may have to download google chrome for it to work.

It is asking you to sign into youtube with your gmail account. I allowed it. If you do this, you can later reverse it. Just go to your gmail "account settings." Under "personal security" and "security" click on "authorized applications & sites." Find youtube and click "revoke access."

Or if you already have a separate youtube account you can go HERE, sign in, search "poker" and vote up the questions.

PITTSBURGH— Facebook has sent notes of apology and is changing automated systems that blocked environmental activists and other people from posting on like-minded Facebook pages.

Got a canned reply from my representative, David Schweikert with no stance. He looks "forward to holding hearings on this legislation."

The only thing even moderately noteworthy is that he referenced it as, "The Internet Gambling Prohibition, Poker Consumer Protection, and Strengthening UIGEA Act of 2011".

Facebook is hiding wall comments I make on other's pages. I can see them when I'm logged in and can't when I log out. The ones where I responded to someone else's comment are still there. Twice they banned me and claimed it was a mistake and now this. I made a support ticket.
