Online poker is being discussed on Capitol Hill. Let's all do our part through the weekend to ensure Congress hears from us!

- Let's send members of the Senate Homeland Security Committee NEW tweets requesting addition of online poker licensing to the Cybersecurity Act: HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.
- Let's send Sen. Reid, Sen. McConnell, Sen. Kyl, Rep. Boehner, and Rep. Cantor NEW tweets: HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.
- Now that we've had a few daily actions where we've posted on the Facebook walls of all the Senate Homeland Security Committee members, let's go back today and through the weekend to like the pro-poker comments: HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.
- Let's post pro-poker comments to some the Facebook walls of some the mainstream media HERE and some potentially anti-poker lawmakers HERE. We can't do them all at once, of course, but let's all try to hit three of each.

Please reply in this thread with tweeted, done, etc.to encourage others to participate. The past 163 actions have generated triple-digit participation, so let's keep it growing. Thanks!

===========

I answered a few questions from posters on the rationale and effectiveness of the online petition:

Didn't we do the Change.gov petition some time ago?

Change.org is a nonpartisan online petition site that is not affiliated with Change.gov.

What good will it do?

Change.org emails the petition recipients when we sign, helping increase overall effectiveness and ensure we are heard from:

Think of it this way: what if you started to receive emails from each of your neighbors asking you to mow your lawn more often? Or, what if your company received thousands of emails from valued customers asking you to use a different supplier for your parts? How quickly would you act?

That’s the unique thing about creating an online petition on Change.org: when you specify an email address for your target, each time a supporter signs your petition, an email is automatically sent directly to that person. Governments, companies and individuals value their reputations and feel accountable to their neighbors, constituents and customers. When hundreds or even thousands of emails arrive in their inboxes, the message is very hard to ignore.

Also, this one isn't to Obama. It's to Reid, McConnell, Kyl, Boehner, and Cantor.

Additionally, PPA lobbyists will be able to hand deliver the results.

Waste of time! I'm sorry PPA I support you guys but these things are a joke.

We are pretty fortunate to be in an era where others have made tools for us, like Twitter, Facebook, and 2+2, that we use every day in our fight back. Now we have Change.org -- another free tool where we can reach out our elected representatives beyond the standard constituent letter.

I had family, friends and anyone else I could sign the last 2 or 3 and nothing came of them.

I thank you for having them sign the petitions, but how can you say nothing has come of that effort? Five years ago, the House voted to ban online poker by a 3 to 1 margin (that was, fortunately, watered down in the Senate backrooms before becoming UIGEA). They are now looking at licensing it, knowing that if they don't, states will. Even Bachus isn't entertaining the idea of passing legislation to amend the Wire Act to include online poker.

It seems quite a lot has come from our efforts as a community.

Obama promised to respond to 2 of them (and did not).

We're simply not a traditional issue. We won't be treated the same as more mainstream issues, unfortunately. Again, the House voted 3-1 to ban us in 2006. There's a reason for that.

Ipoker will come back when those in power decide to let it. Be it state or fed level.

They won't just wake up and have an epiphany. It's not like they'll say, you know....no one has asked for online poker legislation, but let's go ahead and license it. They'll decide to back us when they feel their constituents want it.

if the big money casino corp. can't get the people they pay to get elected to act on their behalf our petition with 500 signatures isn't going to mean squat.

Casinos are lobbying for this, as is PPA. We'll just have to keep pushing forward.

even if its highly unlikely they read the petition or not, it took me under a minute to do and another minute to share on my wall.

+1

Can anyone imagine the NRA saying well, there's no use in writing to Congress....they'll do whatever they want on guns? Neither side of the abortion debate has decided to stop being active on the assumption that Congress will just magically come around to their side on their own. Our opponents didn't stop asking Congress to ban online poker and online gaming in the run up to the 2006 legislation. I'm glad you see how obvious it is that we have to do our part to tell Congress what we want here.

It looks more and more like Fed legislation will fail and there will be some kind of intrastate system with jacked up rake set up, as in France, Italy, Spain, etc., with politicians looking at player pools like tax contributors . I don't really see the point of an intrastate system, except greed.

the only shining light is that the Feds can and do stomp over state sovereignty all the time (think marijuana dispensary raids).
