I have always loved Barney Frank and here is another reason!
Support this fine gentleman in his actions and remind YOUR State
representatives to support him too!

A longtime proponent of regulating online gambling, Congressman Barney Frank (D-Mass),
says that he will attempt to have the prohibition of online gambling repealed
and subject the industry to taxation and regulation.

"I think if we do this right we should make online gaming legal and subject it to a reasonable taxation like anything else," he said. "This does not conflict to our effort to stimulate the economy. This isn't bad for the economy."

Why is it good to regulate online gambling?

1. It will protect the consumer (player).
2. It will give Millions or billions from the casinos in taxes to the US government.

Will it work?

Ask the UK.. they have made millions from taxation and regulation of online gambling.

I totally agree, this is a time when our government could use some extra money, and with regulations in place I might play at other casino rather than just Rivals, because they are the only ones I trust at this time. I think I will write also. Thanks TDTAT.
