Jon Ralston RTed it.

I was on QuadJacks and Short Stacked Radio yesterday evening to promote this. Hopefully it will increase our participation even further.

Been out of town and got behind, but I think I'll all caught up. Thanks TheEngineer

Thanks Langerz!

Some additional information:

Great job on the Twitter messages to Sen. Reid all! We represented well over half the submitted town hall questions, which was duly noted by the Washington Post, AP, and Politico, and poker sites like PokerFuse. So, we got the attention of the senator as well as some media. Additionally, he answered our question affirmatively: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhfVr6BnUFs#t=9m58s

Great job all! This really shows that we can be heard if we speak as one voice.

Done.

A reminder to non-Americans... the twitter and Facebook stuff we can still do. We all want our game to flourish around the world.

Done!!! Thanks

Not quite finished for today (I just woke up), but I got the first set of tweets done and will complete that task in an hour or two. :-)

Excellent point! Y'all come. :-)

Seriously, this is a great "thing". Hopefully this "thing" will become a "movement" and then eventually we'll have online poker again as we once knew it.

won't be as we once knew it, but better than playing on Merge or any other site not knowing what's going to happen. I really did love playing with a HUD and rakeback.

Done!
