I posted this website (below) in its own thread, but thought I would post it here. I think this website is more or less a "lottery" in that you need some luck for your petition to go viral and get world wide attention, but for anyone who know how to make social media work, this could be a site to start new petitions for online poker in the US.

I have a petition there, at http://www.change.org/petitions/let...ss-federal-legislation-licensing-online-poker. It's doing well, with over 9K signatures. I hope everyone here will sign it too!

Weekend of June 2nd, 2012​

The NJ online gaming bill has been delayed until fall, according to state Sen. Lesniak, sponsor of the legislation (here). It sounds like we need to reach out to Gov. Christie.
  1. Let's send Gov. Christie more prefilled, editable tweets in support of New Jersey's proposed legislation (S 1565): HERE and HERE. Let's keep contacting him via Facebook HERE as well.
  2. Let's send House Subcommittee for Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade Chair Mary Bono Mack and the rest of the subcommittee tweets requesting a markup for HR 2366: HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.
  3. Let's send a prefilled tweet promoting this weekend's action plan HERE (or retweet HERE), and let's share the action on our own Facebook walls HERE.
If you wish to do more today:
  • Let's keep posting and liking pro-poker comments on the Facebook walls of the Venetian and the Palazzo HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE. Sheldon Adelson needs to hear from all of us.
  • If you use Klout, please consider giving a +K for the topics "Poker" and "Congress" HERE. A higher score may help our efforts (and can't hurt).
  • If you've not yet signed the poker petition, please sign it HERE. We're 900 from 10K, so let's push this into five figures! Let's all send a tweet to promote it HERE.
Please reply in this thread with "tweeted", "done", etc. to encourage others. Thanks for participating!

I am gonna sign. I live out of country but can use a US address. Does it matter which one?

I will send this link to everyone I know and ask for support!

Thanks for participating!

I'd use the one you are actually tied to (close relative, etc.). As an ex-pat, you have some address or at least a claimed state of residency, I guess, and you have every right to be heard.

Next, I'd check the recipients of the petition. An address in one of those districts/states would be more effective.

I'm hoping that we aren't the only cc'ers doing this stuff. That would be sad.

Agreed.

Anyway, I just got done. Thanks for posting the petition here, we're so close to 10k.

Let's keep telling lawmakers that we want our rights!
  1. Let's send House Subcommittee for Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade Chair Mary Bono Mack and the rest of the subcommittee tweets requesting a markup for HR 2366, the Online Poker Act: HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.
  2. Let's send a prefilled tweet promoting this weekend's action plan HERE (or retweet HERE), and let's share the action on our own Facebook walls HERE.

I created a new online petition to specific Members of Congress, including one member who is not on either Twitter or Facebook. As the petition system emails each recipient with the results, this is yet one more avenue by which we can reach each member!
  1. Let's all sign the petition HERE.
  2. Let's promote the petition via the prefilled tweet HERE, by sharing the post HERE on our own Facebook walls, and by any other social media you use.
  3. Let's send a prefilled tweet promoting today's action plan HERE (or retweet HERE), and let's share the action on our own Facebook walls HERE.

Change.org allows petition starters to send out email updates to everyone who signed the petition. So, I went to the last petition and sent the 9K signatories of that petition a link to the new one. 🙂
 
We got over 1,000 signatures today! The PPA email blast that will go out this morning will crank that up by a lot, but I'm very pleased that our humble effort here with the daily action plan was capable of generating that level of activity.
