Internet Gambling Brought to the Halls of Congress

First we reported the rumors, now we got the inside scoop from Debbie Richardson, who was inside the White House and the halls of Congress today talking to various aides and staff members, all of whom expressed similar opinions.

The Port Security Bill will be signed on Friday. Although there is no such thing as a line item veto, the bill, supposedly, can have a separation from the other bill and be sent back to the Congress where it will be debated in lame duck sessions later this year.

It is still unclear whether or not language of the internet gambling portion of the bill has changed, or even if it is allowed to be changed. Staff members simply told Richardson that much lobbying was done on part of banks who claimed the law would cost them billions of dollars to be properly enforced.

The aides did make one thing clear to Richardson, the Internet Gambling Enforcement Act has many loopholes that are too big to be put into law, therefore, the bill has a high probability of being thrown back to Congress to be redefined at some point in the future.

They also made it clear to Richardson that a large scale protest held in early November (right before elections) would carry a good deal of weight in which way the law will go.

Richardson is in the process of planning the future peaceful demonstration. Stay tuned to CasinoGamblingWeb.com for details.
