    Everyone do this. Getting it in the hands of the President, even if he doesn't care is a big step forward.

    ---------------------------------------

    President-elect Obama has asked the American people for input. He wants us to tell him what we would like to see him do over the next four years. To facilitate this, his transition team set up an area of their website for input.

    To tell President-elect Obama that you want your right to play online poker in a safe and legal environment respected and protected, please follow the simple instructions below.

    Together, we can all let Obama know that we demand our rights!

    I did this 2 hours ago and the point total was 9610. I just looked a minute ago and we're at 10670. It's extrememly easy to do people. All you need to register an account is your name (prob doesn't even have to be your real name if you're a sally) and zip code. Then just click vote up.

    EDIT - and it's clearly being noticed...

    <h1>Citizen's Tell Obama to Let People Play Online Poker</h1>
    <h2>BY: BOB PAJICH | bob.pajich@cardplayer.com</h2> <h2>PUBLISHED: Wednesday Jan 14, 2009 12:25 PM</h2> <script type="text/javascript"> addthis_pub = 'cardplayer'; </script> <script src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/152/addthis_widget.js" mce_src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/152/addthis_widget.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

    <h2>A Suggestion on Barack Obama's Website is Gaining Massive Support</h2>


    A suggestion to Barack Obama to “let online poker players in the United States play legally and without fear of prosecution” that appeared on his “Citizen’s Briefing Book” website has quickly been voted the second-most-popular idea and is promised to be seen by the President-elect.

    The site was set up by Obama’s transition team and is designed to allow citizens to submit and promote suggestions about what issues the President-elect needs to tackle during his term.

    It’s set up in such a way that the more people who vote on a suggestion, the more likely it will rise to the top and be given thought by Obama’s transition team. A citizen with the username of AAHue posted this suggestion on Monday:

    Boost America's Economy with Legal Online Poker

    Let online poker players in the United States play legally and without fear of prosecution. Reform the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act to exempt poker, a game of skill, from the law. Boost the economy by letting American companies and Ameican (sic) players make money and pay taxes instead of sending online poker businesses offshore. Protect online poker players by regulating the industry to ensure that no one is ever cheated.

    It’s already considered the second-most-popular idea listed on the site, just one behind an entry titled “Bullet Trains and Light Rail.” Nearly 10,000 people voted on AAHue’s post, putting it right at the top.

    More than 120 people have commented on the post, and that number is growing every time the refresh button is hit.

    The post can be found here. People must be registered to vote and comment on posts, but the entire process takes less than a minute.

    On the video introducing the page, Obama’s transition co-chair Valerie Jarrett explained that the site was created to bring the ideas and suggestions from normal citizen’s directly to the President-elect. So far, nearly 5,000 ideas and suggestions have been submitted.
