Representatives of Casino Gambling Web, A Gambling Information Website (
www.casinogamblingweb.com ), are going to Washington D.C. next month with the intention of garnering support to repeal the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA).
The representatives of the proactive site will be in contact with every Congressman and every Senator to inform and enlighten them about the millions of Americans that want the law, considered Prohibition II, overturned.
"There are many in Congress who are not aware of the far-reaching effects of the UIGEA and it is Casino Gambling Web's intention to empower them with knowledge," said Gordon Price, owner of Casino Gambling Web.
"We will arm each representative with a new found understanding of the safeguards currently utilized by other countries to prevent underage and problem gambling," said one of the Casino Gambling Web representatives going to Washington D.C. who wishes to remain anonymous.
"We will show each representative on paper all the testimony from the Financial Services Committee hearing held earlier in the month," the rep. from the website said, "we will show them the tax revenue that can be realized with proper regulation, and we will present each of them with the will of the people in the form of the Repeal the UIGEA petition that has been signed by almost 5,000 Americans."
The Repeal the Internet Gambling Ban petition, at
www.thepetitionsite.com/petition/306149419 is still going strong and has recently been upgraded. Those still wishing to sign the petition can now leave a text message for their representative to read.
The Casino Gambling Web reps also said they "will enlighten each representative about the impending ramifications with regard to trade violations and pending sanctions the United States is now facing due to the UIGEA, and the extent that those violations may financially harm the U.S. economy and several U.S. industries."
"We will also explain to each elected official how the law that was passed to protect Americans, has actually done the opposite," one of the reps said.
As of now the United States Internet gambling (

"Our hope is that these elected officials will take the time to listen to its citizens," the rep said, "to read the packet of materials we will present to them, and to come to the same conclusion that we have, that is, Internet gambling should be legalized and regulated for the benefit of the society."
In a statement, Gordon Price, owner of Casino Gambling Web, said
"We urge all Americans interested in regaining personal freedom in the United States to contact their Senators and Congressmen today and tomorrow and again next week and let their voices be heard. We encourage all those interested to encourage others to do the same. It is Casino Gambling Web's true belief that we can make a difference if we all come together on this issue."
