John Kyl tried many years ago with Dean Smith and John Thompson to eliminate college sports betting even in Vegas (which would kill my annual March Madness trip). He has been at it ever since. Once he failed at that he started in on Internet gambling back in 1997. It took him 9 years to even sneak in a law restricting banks from dealing with gambling offshore sites. Many tries and many failures. Such a loser that this is his only claim to fame.

To the poker players in Arizona, please vote him out next time he comes up for election before he joins Rep. Goodlatte (VA) again (yes talking to you Virginia voters) on a more intense persecution of us online poker players that was originally proposed.
