TUESDAY POKER ACTION PLAN: Anti-poker Sen. Lindsey Graham running for president

**** Tuesday #Fight4Poker ****

• Anti-poker Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has formally announced his candidacy for president. He tweeted "I'm in," as if anyone cares. I guess he thinks he's Michael Jordan announcing, "I'm back." Well, he's obviously no Michael Jordan. In fact, he's no poker player, as he's merely in while we're all in! Let's make & like pro-poker comments and tweets on his social media announcements and on a terrific Washington Post article on RAWA & Sheldon Adelson's donations:
► Twitter: https://twitter.com/LindseyGrahamSC/status/605393024542253056
► Facebook: www.facebook.com/LindseyGrahamSC/posts/694448337349177
► WaPo article: www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2015/06/01/why-the-niche-issue-of-online-gaming-is-central-to-lindsey-grahams-2016-hopes

• Let's keep making & favoriting pro-poker tweets in reply to a tweet by anti-poker Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT). We all tweeted our thoughts on two of his anti-poker tweets some time ago. He's not tweeted anything like that since, including any in regard to that stacked deck of a poker hearing he held in March. Let's keep it that way by ensuring he knows we're not going away!

WEDNESDAY POKER ACTION PLAN: Tell SC Sen. Lindsey Graham + 5 others to back poker

**** Wednesday #Fight4Poker ****

• Let's send pro-poker tweets to five Senate Judiciary Committee members, either with the prefilled verbiage as-is or individualized via a quick edit. Verbiage can be as simple as copying & pasting one of the following, but try to edit even these a bit. If you prefer not to edit the tweets, try to pause a bit between tweets, so Twitter doesn't think you're a bot. Thanks!
- Congress rejected a ban on instate online poker in '06. RAWA restores nothing. It's an all new ban. #OpposeRAWA.
- For consumer protection, mandated age verification & liberty, please support the right of states to authorize online poker.
► Sen. John Cornyn [R-TX]: http://spredd.it/4m1Ustqf
► Sen. Ted Cruz [R-TX]: http://spredd.it/b5EW4s9O
► Sen. Jeff Flake [R-AZ]: http://spredd.it/o217ZH96

► Sen. Chuck Grassley [R-IA]: http://spredd.it/cu46dQK5
► Today's DAP: http://spredd.it/3ba9XMn2

• Let's keep making & like pro-poker comments and tweets on Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) social media candidacy announcements and on a terrific Washington Post article on RAWA & Sheldon Adelson's donations. Graham pinned this tweet to the top of his Twitter page, so let's be sure he hears from us!

Got the PPA email, and I filled out the Letter to all government branches, and since I do not use a prefix, and am always suspicious of any mail I get that does use one, I used Poker Player, which at least got me past that first page, but to a second page that was equally weird.

You do NOT get my phone number.

So the letter went unsent. Not totally thrilled with having to provide a street address either, but I did that.

Still this is another unhappy event that has diminished my participation with the Daily Action plan. I will probably now ignore the next email.

Fix this stuff please.

The information isn't for PPA. The information is simply to fill in the fields lawmakers require.

If you don't like our system, please go to your lawmakers' websites and send them each a pro-poker email from there. Thanks.
