Important Time for Online Poker Fight Is Here
Sometime in the next couple weeks, maybe even as early as next week, the United States House of Representatives will vote on a bill that if passed will be the Federal government's first real effort at banning Internet gambling and online poker.
Online poker players everywhere must shake their heads whenever hearing some of the reasons that Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va. ) gives on why he's sponsoring the Internet Gambling Prohibition Act. Goodlatte claims that Internet gambling is used to launder money, that it drains billions of dollars from our economy, that it destroys families and that it aids terrorists.
Goodlatte has called Internet gambling a scourge and has consistently conjured disgraced and convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff's name when explaining why his bill didn't go anywhere in the past.
