1) I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost… I am hopeless. It isn’t my fault. It takes forever to find a way out.
2) I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I pretend I don’t see it. I fall in again. I can’t believe I am in the same place. But, it isn’t my fault. It still takes a long time to get out.
3) I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it is there. I still fall in… It’s a habit. My eyes are open. I know where I am. It is my fault. I get out immediately.
4) I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it.
5) I walk down another street.

I am sitting in a chair watching Mike gather wood for a fire. I was following him around, but stopped when he laughed! I was carrying my purse round with me. Guess gathering firewood with a purse on your shoulder is a bit too fashionable for the trail.
When we were hiking in I realize how many errors I made planning my portion of the trip. I am wearing flip flops with shorts. So now I’m getting my legs scratched up and eaten by bugs. Sticks are poking my feet and I have no balance in these silly shoes.
Within 10 feet I was attacked by a swarm of mosquitos. I tried to run away from them only to have one land in my eye. Mike saved me by spraying me down with “Repel 100″. It worked instantaneously! I hope it lasts for a while.
We have never camped together before and I haven’t been in 25 years. Do you thinking camping is like riding a bike? That it will all come back go me? Sure hope so!

Action Plan
Our Mission: To let all our Government representatives know that poker players
across the country are outraged, that we will not stand by idly while our
government infringes upon our rights.
Our Objective: To make our collective voices heard by having every poker player
in the United States make at least five phone calls and emails each day, post on
social network platform, blogs, and forums beginning April 18, 2011. Continue
action until we have satisfaction.
Our Strategy:
CCSW = Call and Connect to Spread the Word
Time
How many hours a week did you play online poker? Take those hours and use them
to take action.
Remember: We must keep pressure on the government on all fronts. Be sure you
are a premium member of Poker Players Alliance. While we take grassroots action,
PPA is our voice at the top. Premium membership only costs 20 bucks a year… Go

Poker Players Alliance Takes Action… Press Release
PPA Defends Millions of Americans’ Right to Play Online Poker (04/16/2011)
From PPA Chairman Alfonse D’Amato
“On behalf of the millions of poker players across the country, we are
shocked at the action taken by the U.S. Department of Justice today
against online poker companies and will continue to fight for Americans’
right to participate in the game they enjoy. Online poker is not a crime and
should not be treated as such.”

Emails: Below are convenient links to the Poker Players Alliance email alert
system that will send the emails for you. The words are also there for you. Be sure
to begin the emails with your voice— a few simple words in the first sentence that
speak about you and how this has personally affected you.
PPS’s system is set up so that you can do the process just twice, and up to five
emails will go out as if they came directly from your email. One will go to the US
Attorney General; the second will simultaneously go to President Obama and your
congressional members. It is a smart system and selects your congressional
members by using the zip code you enter.
Phone calls: at the end of this Poker Action Plan, you’ll find the current DC
numbers of all the members of congress. They are by state.
If you prefer an online resource, you can go to PPA’s resource map of the US. Click
on your state for the governor and senators. For your representative to the House,
select your district. Even if you do not know your district number, the map is visual
and easy to use.

PPA’s 3-Step Action Plan from www.theppa.org/takeaction
Take These Actions Today and Stand Up for Poker
1) Call and email the Department of Justice and Attorney General Holder
Call the Office of the Attorney General Public Comment Line:
202-353-1555
Talking Points:
o The Department of Justice’s attack on Internet poker is a clear attack on the
rights of American poker players.
o The US government must ensure that the money American citizens have in
their Internet poker accounts is not jeopardized by the DOJ’s actions.
o The US government should be protecting American citizens by allowing
Internet poker sites to become licensed and regulated under US law, rather
than taking away citizens’ freedom to choose to play online poker for fun or
for a livelihood.

2) Email President Obama and Congress
Click the link below to send an email to President Obama and Congress
http://go.theppa.org/alert15
3) Seek out your Representative and Senators and tell them how you feel
Congress is on recess for the next two weeks and your federal lawmakers will likely
be in their home state. Call their local offices and find out if they are having any
public appearances. Attend the event and let your lawmaker know that you are
upset about the recent Department of Justice action against poker and that they
should support efforts to license and regulate Internet poker, not spend resources
trying to criminalize it.
After you have completed Poker Players Alliance 3-step action
plan, please continue…

Action Plan if You Have a Day Job
Voice Mail CALL Campaign & Emails
Since most of us do have day jobs, once you get home from work, dedicate at least
an hour taking action. First, send the two emails thru the PPA links that we listed
above. Next, call the numbers and leave detailed voice mail messages. Go to the
“What to Say” section for what to say. You will find a simple script you can read in
less than a minute.
Overload their voice mailboxes. Be sure to speak slowly, distinctly, and leave your
name along with your follow up phone number.
Remember, YOUR WORDS are important. People tend to rush through
voice mail. This is important. Speak slowly, repeat your name and number
twice, and spell your last name.
Our Action Plan when You Have Time
Telephone CALL Campaign
Starting Monday, April 18, 2011, at 9am Eastern Time begin calling. If a
number is busy, go to the next number. Return to the skipped ones and call
again. If the number is busy three times, skip that until the next day.
o call the first three numbers on the list
o next, go to your state in the following list & call your senators and
house representative
The next page had the first numbers to call.

WHAT to SAY on the Phone to the Government Representatives:
NOTE: You will likely reach assistants rather than your government representative.
In many cases, they are interns, very young, and may sound shy on the phone, or
they might be more mature volunteers. Make sure they write down what you say.
Ask them to echo it back.
This is your script. Read it slowly, and ask the person on the other end to repeat
the message back to you. Even when you take your time, each call will take you
less than 5 minutes. Be warm and cordial.
Hello, my name is ___________. What is your name please?
Thank you (say their name) _____________
Please give a detailed message to ______________
Are you ready to take down my message? (pause and wait for
response)
The Department of Justice’s attack on Internet poker is a clear
attack on the rights of American poker players.
The US Government must ensure that the money American
citizens have in their Internet poker accounts is not jeopardized
by the DOJ’s actions.
The US Government should be protecting American citizens by
allowing Internet poker sites to become licensed and regulated

Please read my message back to me.

I’m a US poker player, and I’m taking action. This uses the PPA’s
3-step plan and builds on it. I’m all in against the US Government
big stack bullies http://www.PokerActionPlan.com
Email to your poker buddies this: As a poker player, you know the
US Government stole our right to play poker. Please join me and take
action right now. Download this action plan– It is a simple way we can
stand up for ourselves and make our voices heard. I believe it will make
a difference and I am moving all in for my right to play poker online
http://www.PokerActionPlan.com
Ask your friends, spouse, significant other, and everyone else send the
letter from www.theppa.org/takeaction. Couples should send individual
letters, not joint, so that your voices are counted as two rather than
just one.
Write articles on the issue. Many sites will allow you to post columns
without any kind of approval. Use tools like Digg and Twitter to promote
these.
Write a blog post. I will post it on http://BigGirlPoker.com as a blog
from you. Because of the mass of emails I am getting on the subject,
the best way to get it to me is to post it as a comment on any blog post
on this subject. Start it with, “Please post this as a blog from me and
use my name.” My only requirement is that you approach this from a
proactive stand rather than a reactive one. You can make suggestions
about additional action, or mention what you are doing, and what has
been your reception from the government officials.

Martin Shapiro – Florida State Director of the Poker Players
Alliance, Martin Shapiro, resides in Clearwater and plays poker
professionally. He started out playing poker for dimes and
quarters with some local buddies, and became fascinated with the
challenges of Texas Hold’em from the TV and online poker boom
in the early years of this century. After building a bankroll from
nothing by earning online freeroll tournament points worth a
penny each, he eventually expanded to live poker room play and
made his decision to pursue poker as a profession. His volunteer
work for the Poker Players Alliance allows him to give back to the
poker community by helping to protect the rights and interests of
Florida poker players in legal and political issues.

I arrived about an hour ago. My first order of business for the trip was to stop for a massage. My therapist Sue had a wonderful touch and the half hour flew by way too fast.
I was greeted by Kyle Villers and Adam Huch, our hosts for the weekend at baggage claim. We are waiting for the other ladies flights to arrive before catching the limo to the hotel.
As luck would have it, We spotted Maria Ho waiting in the baggage claim area, looking beautiful as ever!!
Tiffany “Hot Chips” Michelle showed up a few minutes later. The word is Jennifer Leigh has landed and is taxiing as I type this.
This is going to be awesome!

The featured celebrities are: Jena Delk, Tiffany Michelle, Maria Ho, Jennifer “Jennicide” Leigh, Linda Johnson, and Jan Fisher . You have seen them in the media on: The Amazing Race, ER, Nip Tuck, World Poker Tour, and the World Series of Poker on ESPN!

For more information visit: www.fcsop.com.
_________________________________________________________________________________
A Night at the Four Deuces will begin at noon on Saturday March 26th, 2011. Limousines and a party bus will pick up ticket holders, and the featured celebrities, from Old Town Fort Collins and head off for VIP Tours of Odell Brewing and New Belgium Brewing Company. After seeing some of Fort Collins most prized brewing operations they will enjoy a VIP dinner at Rodizio Grill. Following dinner the guests will be transported to the estate of Jerry and Marcia Donnan, Midway Garden. The residence will host a private “meet and greet” where ticket holders will have the opportunity to mingle with their favorite celebrity and enjoy beverage service and catered desserts. The event will feature speeches by Craig Secher, President of Realities for Children, as well as a recent winner of a Triumph Awards College Scholarship. The event will be capped of with professional poker demonstrations and one on one poker instruction provided by our featured celebrities and professional poker instructors. Tickets for the Four Deuces Charity Event are a $1000.00 donation to the Realities For Children Triumph Awards Endowment Fund and are a tax-deductible 501(c)(3) charitable donation.
The Fort Collins Series of Poker “Celebrity Knockout” Charity Event will begin with player registration at 10am at Sunset Event Center (242 Linden Street Fort Collins, CO) on March 27th, 2011. Player seating and opening speeches will begin at 11:45am and the cards will fly around 12:15pm. This Texas Hold’em Tournament will give players a chance to play poker against some of the world’s top players and ambassadors of the game. When a player “knocks out” a featured celebrity, they will receive a signed trophy and picture with that celebrity. The “Celebrity Knockout” Charity Event will also feature consolation tables and, for the first time ever, a “mini” tournament hosted by TeamPoker™ where participants will get the chance to play as a “team” rather than the traditional “single” style of tournament play.
The Realities for Children Triumph Awards Endowment Fund was created to fund the college scholarships awarded to deserving local children who have triumphed over their abusive pasts. 100% of funds donated through the Fort Collins Series of Poker, which is Colorado’s largest charity poker tournament, are placed in the endowment fund and the interest created is used to award the youth who have triumphed over their abusive pasts and are ready to attend college.
