PPA Action Alert...
 
(Obviously you will be writing to different congressmen, but here is the letter I got)

=====
Dear Mark,

As the Chairman of the Poker Players Alliance, I cannot stress to you enough how important it is for you to make a stand today for poker. By clicking the link below you will be telling Rep. Dave Weldon, Sen. Bill Nelson and Sen. Mel Martinez to roll back the Unlawful Internet Gaming and Enforcement Act (UIGEA) and to support H.R. 5767, which will effectively overturn the UIGEA once and for all.



Whether you play for match sticks or millions, your right to play is under constant attack from out of touch and misguided politicians in Washington DC. It is critical that you take a moment and let them hear your opinion, because I can assure you our opposition does it every day! Your response counts and I appreciate your taking the time to express your support for the game we all love.

By clicking the above link, you will be directed to a page on our website that generates letters for you to send to your representatives in Washington, DC. We have provided text that will let them know that you support H.R. 5767 and its efforts to do away with the UIGEA. You can also add your own personal message. It will take less than 60 seconds!

Thank you for your support.

Proud to Play Poker,
Alfonse D'Amato
PPA Chairman

Done.

Here's what I added to the end of each letter:

It's time that our elected officials return to the realization that our form of government was set up to protect the people from governmental intrusion. It certainly was not designed to have the government regulate morality by enacting laws designed to effectively protect us from ourselves and limit our freedoms.

Amen.

That's perfect.

Thanks for cliking a few links (and adding those words). Every bit helps, IMO.

Do you think form letters get recognized as such and shrugged off somehow?
