These will take you just a few minutes! Thank you for participating.

Let's reach out to the GOP presidential candidates again today. Former Gov. Mitt Romney says he is evaluating the issue and is preparing a response, so it makes sense for us to reach out to him -- and the rest of the GOP field while we're at it -- to ask for support for our right to play.

This will benefit us by demonstrating the fact that many Americans want this. It will also help us in the 2012 GOP Party Platform fight. We were close to getting the anti-online poker plank removed in 2008. I think we have a great shot at getting this out of the platform in 2012 if we all do our part!
  1. Reach out to the GOP field via Facebook. It's as simple as posting a pro-poker comment and liking the other pro-poker comments. It can be something like: "HR 2366, Texas Republican Joe Barton’s Online Poker Act, provides revenue for the federal deficit. It creates new jobs as well, all without raising taxes. It also mandates strong consumer protection and effective age verification. Please support my rights by supporting online poker."
  2. Send a prefilled tweet promoting today's action plan HERE.
Please reply in this thread with "tweeted", "done", etc. to encourage others to participate. The past 84 actions have generated triple-digit participation, so let's keep it growing. Thanks!

TruFloridaGator and many others are supporting the effort by giving away coaching and other items to active participants. Please see Fight for Poker Rights/Free MTT/SNG/Cash Coaching/Site Sub Giveaway! for more.

I made it to Ron Paul's wall and got this:

"Our systems have detected that you have been making spammy or topic-irrelevant posts on Facebook Pages. Please stop making such posts or we may suspend your ability to post on Pages."

None of the 7 post (that are public) I made can be seen by anyone other than me or a friend that is logged in and yet they threaten me for spam.
I wish I could sue them.

Done what I could 11-29-11.

"Jon2012HQ added you to list Jon2012HQ/thx-4-the-mention-comment"

not sure if this is something that his campaign has setup to do automatically or if they have a tech guy sitting at the computer looking at tweets and adding people to the list - but either way, we do know that at least something is happening at the Huntsman campaign with the tweets we send.

I'd try making each post slightly different and not including hyperlinks (I don't know if you had any or not...that's just general guidance).

I've posted hundreds of pro-poker posts without getting that warning, so it's possible. In fact, I've gotten only the warning for liking too many pro-poker posts (and I'll probably continue to get those ).

Hehe. He knew he was pwned and chose to admit it by deleting his posts!

These will take you just a few minutes! Thank you for participating. Let's reach out to GOP House and Senate leadership today, as they need to hear from us. Many anti-gaming types claim the American people wish to ban poker and that ALL gaming legislation is driven solely by industry lobbyists. Our efforts directly counter this incorrect mindset by demonstrating that there are real people who want their freedom behind the pro-poker effort.

So, please be sure to sign YOUR NAME to this effort by telling your lawmakers to support your rights. Let’s ensure that they know this liberty is being sought by millions of Americans, including you!
  1. Send prefilled, editable tweets: HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.
  2. Send a prefilled tweet promoting today's action plan HERE.
Please reply in this thread with "tweeted", "done", etc. to encourage others to participate. The past 84 actions have generated triple-digit participation, so let's keep it growing. Thanks!
