Casino Gambling Web Trip to DC a Success for Internet Gambling Industry

Casino Gambling Web successfully delivered 435 informational packets to every US representative in Congress on Friday of last week. The packets contained the petition to repeal the UIGEA that the site sponsored, as well as a guide of 10 reasons why Internet gambling should be legalized, as well as a CD that contained all the testimony from the Financial Services Committee hearing on if Internet gambling could be sufficiently regulated at this time.

Each packet was hand addressed to each individual congress person and the project was titled 'The IGREA Initiative'.

"We did our part," said one of the CGW reps who helped deliver the 435 packets in Washington D.C., "now it's up to the 15-25 million Americans we went there to fight for to start calling their congress people and express their support for 'The IGREA Initiative'."

When the UIGEA was passed in October of last year the 15-25 million Americans who gamble online each year were abandoned by legitimate companies who offered online gambling services and were made vulnerable to corruption and theft.

The UIGEA has left underage gamblers and problem gamblers without protections. The corrupt law is on the verge of destroying the credibility of the World Trade Organization. At the every least, the UIGEA takes away a personal freedom of American citizens.

"The packet we delivered, which was put together by Susan Torres of Casino Gambling Web, was complimented by everyone who saw it and all agreed that it would be powerful enough to make something happen this year if it was coupled with follow up phone calls by US citizens in support of the effort," said a CGW rep.

Gordon Price of Casino Gambling Web is requesting that all Internet gambling groups begin another campaign to promote calling their congress people to express their support for The IGREA Initiative.
