Article (US Players) "Online Gambling Ban Has Failed, Should Be Ended"

Right on that's a good step! I hope Canada adopts that as well. Although as it is our laws are pretty lax on it already Its only illegal for someone to operate a betting house in canada. As the user we are not necessarily in the wrong. It's a legal grey area right now.

Nicely written, thank you for posting this.

Great Article. Looks like this issue may get some attention coming up and not just negative. I always have this discussion with my mom, an attorney who oddly enough agrees with me somewhat. Much, much money to be made by our GREEDY government. Come on boys, come up with a plan so you get your cut and we get protected, seriously.

For all of us in the USA I encourage you to write your congressman about this issue. I wrote mine and received a letter back stating how he supports lifting the ban.

This is awesome! Thanks for posting!

5 to 1 he had another letter pre-written for anyone that supported keeping the ban

Probably yes, I do hope tho that americans are allowed to play again. Opens up a market of fish for me

Maybe it's a step in the right direction,,,I hope so.... As I've said before, I'm a vet and I sure didn't serve this country, to be told where and how I can spend or invest my money. Thanks for the post.
Later

I wish I lived in Colorado so I could vote for this guy

I do live in Colorado, and our state appears to be on track to oppose this ban and seek taxation and protection for online gambling. I love it, and I really think it is in the nations best interests as a whole.

But seriously, this bill doesn't even define illegal gambling, and until it does there is no enforcement method that would see it's way through court. The government cannot impose sanctions on financial institutions for processing transactions to a gaming site without defining what is illegal, and cannot pursue criminal charges against gambling citizens because there is no legal grounds for prosecution because the law itself lacks definition.

So, I still ask, what is all the fuss about. It's business as usual until the government decides otherwise.

Let's all copy and send this speech to our politicos. I doubt that they were on the floor to here the speech.

If youd like information on contacting federal and state representitives to KINDLY share your opinion on the matter it can all be found on the theppa.org website under the resources tab. Glad to see all the support!!!

My representative from Alabama wrote me a wonderful letter when I requested support...Spencer Bachus...but then recanted & supports the ban...I called & told him not to expect any more votes if he runs again!
