The Senate Indian Affairs Committee will be
holding another hearing on Internet gaming on February 9th. Let's all tell the committee that we want them to support our right to play! These can be done in just a couple of minutes, so thank you for participating!
- Let's send the Senate Indian Affairs Committee members these NEW tweets: HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.
- Let's post and like pro-poker comments on the Facebook walls of Senate Indian Affairs Committee members Sen. Cantwell, Sen. Hoeven, Sen. Murkowski, and Sen. Udall HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.
- On Friday, January 27th at 3 PM ET, the White House will answer questions submitted via Twitter. HERE is a prefilled, fully editable question to tweet, either as-is or after editing to make it your own.
- The White House also announced that President Obama will answer questions submitted by the American people at a post-State of the Union interview on January 30th. The deadline to submit questions is January 28th at midnight ET, so let’s all vote up questions in support of licensing online poker now!
