Fight for Online Poker!! Week of 11/26 & 12/3
Based on our discussions and posts here, let's do the following:
1. We have three more weeks to sumbit our comments on the proposed UIGEA regulations (Dec. 12th) so let's make a lot of comments between now and then. Please go to
https://pokerplayersalliance.org/new...le.php?DID=293 for instructions on submitting your comments and for ideas on what to submit.
2. The House Judiciary Committee held a hearing on Internet gaming on Nov. 14th. Please write and call your congressman to remind them of our victory. The letter we all co-wrote with PPA is at
http://capwiz.com/pokerplayersallian...46&type=co. Sending that takes less than one minute; adding info about the hearing takes only a few extra minutes. Regardless of when you last called, let's call this week. Phone numbers are at
http://capwiz.com/pokerplayersalliance/dbq/officials. And, please contact the committee at
http://judiciary.house.gov/contact.aspx to express your support for online poker. We won -- let's make sure we continue to be heard.
3. Write to your governor to tell him state laws should support your freedom to play. If you have ANY connection to MA, please contact Gov. Patrick and tell him you won't tolerate a ban on Internet poker. If you have ANY connection to KY, please contact governor-elect Steve Beshear and ask him to ensure that Internet poker is not excluded in his proposal to legalize casino gaming in the state.
4. Regularly write to newspapers and post to blogs. A few posts here and there can start to put us in the national zeitgeist.
Thanks everyone! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
