I recieved a letter from Mark Souder after writing him at Poker Players Alliances website. I re typed this letter so it is not exact.
Dear XXXX,
Thank you for contacting me to express your support for the Internet Gambling Regualtion and Enforcement Act. I appreciate hearing from you.
As you know, Congressman Barney Frank of Massachusetts introduced the Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement
Act (HR 2046) on April 26, 2007. This bill would allow companies to be licensed in order to accept bets and wagers online from individuals in the US, to the extent permitted by individual states, Indian tribes and sports leagues. HR2046 has been sent to the House Financial Services Committee and the House Energy and Commerce Committee for further review. Should this bill come to the House floor for a vote, I will keep your thoughts in mind when considering it.
Thank you, blah blah,
Mark Souder
Now I would like help in writing him back. I thought I would mention 1 main thing and more if anyone (Engineer?) has any help.
1. He says the Barney Frank bill would allow gambling as any state allows. Well I live in Indiana and Gambling (poker, game of "chance) is not allowed. So i think that even if Barney's Bill get passed I would still be out of luck. Is this correct???????? If so I would like to tell Mark Souder that I would like something done on the State level or something along those lines. I need help with this subject.
Any other thoughts or comments?
