I'm very disappointed in his reply... He's obviously trying to send out a letter that will work for both PPA members and Focus on the Family...

The one thing that stands out is the following:

Gambling on the Internet has become an extremely lucrative business, particularly for criminals. The U.S. department of Justice and the F.B.I. have testified that Internet gambling serves as a vehicle for money laundering activities that can be exploited by terrorists and organized crime rings.

I thought that another site I visited (something to do with Myths and online gambling) stated that there was no evidence to support this. Then why is the FBI testifying that that it serves as a vehicle?

I guess it's possible, but is it actually being done? I suspect if at all, it's miniscule. Probably just more Jack Booted Thugs flexing their muscle and trying to limit Anything that MAY be used for criminal activity....
