Thanksgiving Weekend
These will take you less than thirty seconds! Thank you for participating.
Let's reach out to various House and Senate leaders. For convenience, I listed the actions by days, but feel free to mix and match them based on your holiday schedule:
- THURSDAY: Let's send prefilled, editable pro-poker Twitter messages to House Speaker John Boehner (OH) HERE and HERE (separate Twitter accounts), GOP Conference Chair Sen. Lamar Alexander (TN) HERE, GOP Policy Committee Chairman Sen. John Thune (SD) HERE, and Sen. Reid HERE. Then, send a prefilled tweet promoting the Thanksgiving action plan HERE.
- FRIDAY: Let's send these Twitter messages to Rep. Boehner HERE and HERE, Sen. Alexander HERE, Sen. Thune HERE, and Sen. Reid HERE.
- SATURDAY: Let's send this tweet to Sen. Reid HERE. Then, let's go HERE to make and like pro-poker posts on Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) main Facebook wall.
- SUNDAY: Let's send this tweet to Sen. Reid HERE. Then, let's go back HERE to make and like pro-poker posts on Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) Facebook wall.
========================
If you wish to do more this holiday weekend, let's get a final push on the House and Senate committees that held the poker hearings last week. We need to make a great final impression:
- Chair Mary Bono Mack asked for input on this issue on her Facebook wall, so let's provide lots of it. HERE
- Rep. Frank Wolf, who testified against our right to play at the Friday House hearing (his testimony), needs to hear from all of us. Here's a FB post where we can post comments. HERE
- Continue to reach out to both committees via Facebook with respectful requests for them to support poker. Please choose at least three. Simply like the pro-poker posts and make a short, supportive post of your own. When commenting on preexisting posts, please be sure the post is appropriate for pro-poker comments. [Speed tip: Search for "poker" and "2366" with CTRL-F, then choose "highlight", to identify poker posts quickly.]
