  12. Against online poker and sodomy. What a buzzkill. The good news is Rick Santorum won't be coming within 100 miles of federal political office anytime soon.
  13. tweeted Romney. Curious to hear his stance.

  17. Wow Romney doesn't support online poker this is really bad news. I don't like the options for United States next president. As a Republican I don't really like any of the nominees. Was really hoping online poker would be back in 2012 but now I am not sure it will happen.
     
  18. Ron Paul

    Wake up Republicans
  19. Sorry haven't been paying the closest attention, what candidates to support online poker?


    "The best thing we can do for home values in this country is to get people working again so they can afford to buy homes, so they can afford to come on vacations to places like Florida and Las Vegas and other spots."

    -Yes, give us our jobs back.

    For today, let's start telling the Payroll Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance, and Medicare Physicians Payment Fix Conference Committee to look at online poker as a possible revenue source.

    The committee needs to resolve this by the end of February, so the timing is perfect for us. They need funding, which also works for us. And, if they don't act, we still benefit by the effort itself, as the members of the conference committee are leaders in the House and Senate!

    These take just a couple of minutes each, so thanks for participating:

    1. Let's send the Conference Committee members + Sen. Reid & Sen. McConnell tweets urging inclusion of federal online poker legislation: HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.
    2. Let's post and like pro-poker comments on the Facebook walls of Conference Committee members Sen. Baucus and Sen. Crapo HERE and HERE.
    3. Let's tell Mitt Romney what we think of his anti-poker statements (read more here) on his Facebook wall HERE.
