Internet Gambling Finally Gets Support From a US Politician

For the first time in the four months that we have been following the anti-internet gambling bill, an actual US Politician has spoken up on behalf of internet gambling.

All reports we read are of poker players, online gamblers, democrats, republicans, liberals and even some conservatives who are outraged that the US would be so gung-ho about banning online gambling while there are so many other troubles in the world. Yet, this is the first time a US Politician has spoken up on what appears to be the large majority's beliefs.

In an interview with InternetNews.com North Dakota State Rep Kasper said, "the people of our nation want to do what they want to do in the privacy of their living rooms."

He went on to call the proposed Frist attachment of the anti-gambling bill to a defense conference "ridiculous."

Kasper went on to explain that if Frist gets his way North Dakota will become a safe harbor for internet poker players worldwide.

Kasper plans to introduce bills in the next session of the North Dakota legislature legalizing internet poker which would make it possible for online gaming casinos to bring their software, hardware and employees to North Dakota.

This is the first encouraging news to come from us following the anti-internet gambling bill.
