Master Sticky Effort

Can you start a sticky for our letters? I think we're pretty much unanimous on that one.

I think if sample letters that could be sent were posted, it would make it easier (and therefore encourage more people) to send out the letters.

A vote for "Tax FAQs" for damn sure.

Another vote/suggestion for a general "What can I do?" sticky, perhaps cross-linked or containing the letters, how to contact Congressmen, and/or action thread(s).

I'd draw the line at 3-4 stickies total, including the welcome one (if it stays).

Don't think that'll be a problem.

Do you have specific links you want?

Not really. My "Fight for Online Gaming!! -- Weekly action thread" may make sense in there, but it's really just a place where we can post our past, current, and future letters for easy reference.

Bump - Finally got this rolling, so please get some suggestions and check back to the sticky for info.

I was out playing today and someone who used to play at Paradise started talking to me. He had no clue you could still play, what epass was, or that anyone was fighting for poker. I wouldn/t mind seeing some kind of faq for noobs/fish to read about the effort to regulate online poker. A combination of the weekly action thread, link to the PPA, roomlist that still take US players, and a general outline of what is transpiring in Congress, the WTO, iMega etc. Something a non 2p2 person can read in 5-10 minutes and be up to speed.

That's exactly what we need though

We need some tax links(I'd only provide links from the IRS site so we aren't giving tax advice, merely pointing people to certain IRS rules):

From IRS Publication 525: [ QUOTE ]
Gambling winnings. You must include your gambling winnings in your income on Form 1040, line 21. If you itemize your deductions on Schedule A (Form 1040), you can deduct gambling losses you had during the year, but only up to the amount of your winnings.
