PC World rates poker social networking effort "effective"!

http://www.pcworld.com/printable/article/id,248702/printable.html

Online Poker Lobby: 2006-Present

Lovers of games such as Texas Hold 'Em, Seven Card Stud, and Five Card Draw have been active in recent years trying to ensure that Congress doesn't outlaw online versions of poker in the United States. At the forefront of the movement is the Poker Players Alliance, an online poker advocacy organization claiming more than 1 million members. Since at least 2006, when President George Bush signed a law banning online wagering, the PPA has encouraged American poker players to fight for their right to use the Web to bluff their way to a $5 pot.

The efforts of the PPA and other pro-poker advocates appear to be paying off. Recently, the Department of Justice said that online poker does not violate the Federal Wire Act, which prohibits interstate and foreign betting on sporting events and contests.

Activism: Effective

Done for today. Cool PCWorld magazine article. We've been seen.

Friday, January 27, 2012

PC World reviewed our social networking activism (http://www.pcworld.com/printable/article/id,248702/printable.html), 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 on these to 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!

- 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. Franken, Sen. Conrad, Sen. Johnson and Sen. McCain 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 NEW prefilled, fully editable question.

Please reply in this thread with tweeted, done, etc. to encourage others to participate. The past 136 actions have generated triple-digit participation, so let's keep it growing. Thanks!

If you wish to do more today, let's reach out to the entire Senate Indian Affairs Committee membership via Facebook with respectful requests for them to support poker at the 2/9 hearing. Simply like the pro-poker posts and make a supportive post of your own. When commenting on preexisting lawmaker posts, please be sure the post is appropriate for pro-poker comments.
