I called, although my representative is a complete retard as far as gaming goes. Here's an excerpt from an email I received from his lackies:


As you know, Internet gambling is a 24-hour a day activity, which oftentimes undercuts a player's perception of the value of cash leading to addiction, severe debt, and illegal activity. And, because age verification is difficult to measure online, Internet gambling creates a major risk for minors who may not understand the seriousness behind the transfer of electronic funds. Still, Internet gambling is more than a social problem; it is a national security concern as well. According to the Department of Justice, Internet gambling not only damages communities, but also is used to launder money.

I'm our resident curmudgeon, but it will be a miracle if this goes anywhere in an election year.

The only way we get rid of it is the same way we got it. Someone attaches it to a must pass bill.
