Well done! Thanks all.

The post on Rep. Pelosi's FB wall has 37 likes already. Our goal for today is 100.

As of now, 466 poker questions have been tweeted to Reid!

Don't have a twitter account, on account of I hate twitter, but I will like and post until hell freezes over on facebook

Done and Done! Awesome idea!!!

Thanks for participating on Facebook!

I hope you'll consider the Twitter stuff. You can create an account specifically for this action, so it would not interfere with anything else you're doing. As the tweets are prefilled, so it's really as simple as clicking "here", then clicking "send".

I like to use the fishing analogy for concerns like this. Surely you would not fish using pizza as a lure because you like pizza and don't like raw squid or worms? Of course not. You'd choose bait based on what the fish want. We're doing the same. Lawmakers care about social media. Even better for us, they believe they NEED to care about it. Sen. Reid even ASKED for questions to be submitted via Twitter. It doesn't get better than that. :-)

everything i wish is FTP back with my money:/

Done! Thank you so much for putting this up DeucesCracked!

We have now submitted 501 questions to Sen. Reid for his town hall! We have also hit triple digits already for today's action. The pro-poker post on Rep. Pelosi's FB wall now has 110 likes.

Well done all!
