I think it is irresponsible for Senater Frist to try to attach this bill to a DOD bill. The DOD bill should be hands off for anything else but defense business. If he is so against it, let him work out a bill that will stand on its own. I am also tired of the government trying to tell me what I can do with my money. When they get thru, I only have a little left so let me be in peace with it. Maybe we will be forced to open overseas accounts to play online in other countries..then I wonder h... [ More ]

As NROG reported earlier this week Sen Bill Frist is actively seeking to attach his online gambling ban to a new piece of legislation. NROG has been entrenched in D.C for the last several days and after a very late night last night and a rough morning we learned that his sights are back on the DoD bill.

I know it was set up so that... [ More ]

Congressional leaders are trying to forge a compromise that would allow them to push through legislation banning most forms of Internet gambling, aides said on Thursday.

Top House and Senate lawmakers have been trying to break a logjam that has stalled the Internet gambling legislation by attaching it to any one of a number of must-pass spending bills before the end of the year, aides said. However, they have yet to agree on a final deal.

I'm confident that (Senate Majority Leader Bill) F... [ More ]
