Weekend of December 31, 2011
These take just a few minutes. Let's end 2011 and start 2012 by completing the week's task of reaching all 100 senators! Thank you for participating:
- NEW tweets to U.S. senators: HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.
- NEW tweets to more U.S. senators and lawmakers: HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.
- Eight senators not on Twitter are on Facebook. Let's post and like pro-poker comments HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.
- The remaining three senators are not on Facebook or Twitter, but do accept email from nonconstituents. Let's email them with pro-poker messages HERE, HERE, and HERE.
Please reply in this thread with tweeted, done, etc. to encourage others to participate. The past 111 actions have generated triple-digit participation, so let's keep it growing. Thanks!

Here's a sample Facebook post/email. Please edit to suit your personal style and position, of course:
HR 2366, Rep. Barton’s (R-TX) 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.
Former FBI Director Louis Freeh and former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge say it is time to license online poker in the U.S. WiredSafety concluded that combining a thoughtful regulatory scheme with education, technology tools, and support appears to be the most effective means of handling the realities and risks of online poker. U.S.-based horse race wagering sites have proven that online betting sites can successfully implement these protections.
With the recent DoJ determination that the Wire Act applies to sports betting only, many in the Congress will wish to revisit this issue. Please support my rights by supporting online poker. Thank you!
