PPA Oct 22 Morning Phone Drive

[givememyleg]

The Poker Players Alliance (PPA) has set up a date for you to "flood the phones" to help support online poker. From their newsletter:

… and Get Ready for Monday, When We'll Flood the Phones

In the morning of October 22, look for a message asking you to call the office of Rep. Dan Lungren and ask for support of online poker. The message will have all the information you need including phone number, who to ask for, and our draft talking points which you can adapt with your own thoughts. It's important for key Members to receive our message through multiple channels -- emails, links to petitions and videos, calls and visits during this concentrated period to reinforce our message. We hope you'll consider making the call for poker!

Why YOUR Voice Matters

Right now, these bills are before the House Financial Services and House Judiciary Committees. Your Member of Congress Rep. Dan Lungren is on one of these committees or is in a key leadership position to influence the legislation.

Check back to this thread and we will post the number and other contact information as soon as it is available! We urge everyone who plays poker to take part, power in numbers!
