"Can you delete all these internet gambling post. One of the only divisions within the US government that recognizes the good our people are involved in and a bunch of disrespecting citizens want to muck it up."

Quote:

HR 2366, Rep. Barton’s (R-TX) Online Poker Act, provides revenue for the federal deficit. It creates new jobs as well, all without raising taxes. It also mandates strong consumer protection and effective age verification.

Former FBI Director Louis Freeh and former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge say it is time to license online poker in the U.S. WiredSafety concluded that "combining a thoughtful regulatory scheme with education, technology tools, and support appears to be the most effective means of handling the realities and risks" of online poker. U.S.-based horse race wagering sites have proven that online betting sites can successfully implement these protections.

With the recent DoJ determination that the Wire Act applies to sports betting only, many in the Congress will wish to revisit this issue. Please support my rights by supporting online poker. Thank you!

Thanks to TruFloridaGator and everyone who supported this effort via the participation contest at Fight for Poker Rights-Free Coaching Giveaway that concluded on Dec. 31, 2011!
