Yep, I did it. I've also written my senators, but unfortunately those twits aren't listening.

I got a letter back from Richard Burr about how we need to ban online gambling because it can be a front for money laundering.

Uh....pretty much any business can be a front for money laundering. By that logic, all check cashing stores should be closed down immediately.

Not to mention, how did the Mafia used to launder their money? Through bars and restaurants among other things. Since bars and restaurants can be used for money laundering, should we shut those down as well? We can all go live in a cave and it will be lots of fun!

That's interesting reasoning.
If they are saying that people can claim ill-gotten gains through online poker, what is to stop them from saying they went to vegas and won it there ?

Also I signed the petition and bump.
