PC World reviewed our social networking activism ([URL]http://www.pcworld.com/printable/article/id,248702/printable.html[/URL]), rating us very favorably and even mentioning our effort alongside Arab Spring and other world events of great significance. We're clearly having an impact, so let's all keep this up!

The Senate Indian Affairs Committee will be holding another hearing on Internet gaming on February 9th. Let's all continue to 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!

For today, let's start telling the Payroll Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance, and Medicare Physicians Payment Fix Conference Committee to look at online poker as a possible revenue source.

The committee needs to resolve this by the end of February, so the timing is perfect for us. They need funding, which also works for us. And, if they don't act, we still benefit by the effort itself, as the members of the conference committee are leaders in the House and Senate!

These take just a couple of minutes each, so thanks for participating:

- Let's send the Conference Committee members + Sen. Reid & Sen. McConnell tweets urging inclusion of federal online poker legislation: HERE, HERE, HERE, 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 Conference Committee members Sen. Baucus and Sen. Crapo HERE and HERE.

The Senate Indian Affairs Committee will be holding another hearing on Internet gaming today, and PPA Board Member Patrick Skallagrim Fleming will be testifying! Let's all continue to tell the committee that we want them to support our right to play.

Let's also continue telling the Payroll Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance, and Medicare Physicians Payment Fix Conference Committee to include online poker in their discussions. The committee needs to resolve this matter by the end of February, so the timing is perfect for us. These take just a couple of minutes each, so thanks 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.

- Sen. Boozman (R-AR) responded to us on Facebook. Let's all take a moment to thank the senator for responding to our comments: HERE
