When is the president supposed to sign this thing??

I guess back to the old way of playing.

It would be nice if the U.S. had a sanctioned Lottery Games that was legal. Think this might be a way to eliminate government debt.

You can play in England legally. (I think

And Foley was one of the head guys on their committe for Lost Exploited Children. What a bunch of hypocrites! Personally, it doesn't seem any longer to matter what political party they belong to...they are all after covering their own butts, spending every dollar they can wrest from the working stiff, and giving big exemptions to those with lots of money (because those people fuel their coffers).

Meanwhile, they ignore every one of their members that either hides cash in his freezer or cha... [ More ]

They have actually figured out the way to impose a tax on Internet usage. You're right, it was only a matter of time.

The issue is Net Neutrality. (Net Neutrality is the good term. What I'll be describing below are companies that want to kill Net Neutrality.)

ISPs (cable companies, phone companies, etc.) are big suppprters of a premium content concept for net traffic, the opposite of Net Neutrality, in which the ISP can decide what is important traffic and what is not. They cou... [ More ]

I am too.

This will open the door to more internet regulations.

There may be other regulations now but I do not know about them.

This may open the door for tax on e-mails. There was a stink about e-mails not to long ago. Post office losing revenue.

The only thing these idiots did was give illegal gambling another chance. There are many people who can't afford to play at their local lottery stores but many can fork over a nickle or a dime or quarter still to play their favorite combinations elsewhere. Remember Policy and those type of neighborhood gambling games? They will make a comeback..bet cha.. Seems like every move they make, they spread poop everywhere going from bad to worse..

Looks like they better start adding laws about internet porn and soliciting on the net.

Ask that politican about it that just resigned from Fla.

And they are worried about gamblers.

Kinda seems like you need to be less careless on where you spend your money. Kinda like wiping your arse good after you take a poo.

Wow ... $10,000 won and you didn't get it? Maybe you should post whatever site stiffed you so others can avoid it.

When I go I want them to say: He died doing what he loved.....sleeping.

I love that quote.

Hard to control online gambling. I've played online and it seems to be rigged. I won $10,000 and never saw a penny too.

The port security and Internet gambling legislation was approved 409 to 2 in the House and on a voice vote in the Senate early today, as lawmakers rushed to leave Washington for their fall reelection campaigns.

LOL ! Gotta love it. They didn't even think that the Internet Gambling bill was serious enough to stand on its own. They just saw it as a way of covering their butts. The one paragraph pretty much says it all:

House and Senate Republican leaders pushed hard to secure the Intern... [ More ]

House and Senate negotiators reached agreement last night on legislation to tighten maritime and port security regulations and, in a last-minute move, added an unrelated measure that seeks to ban Internet gambling.

At the same time, House negotiators prevailed in their fight to strip out $4.5 billion in rail and mass-transit security funds included in the Senate provision.
