[ QUOTE ]
All, I would like to urge all here when contacting their representatives, to KEEP THE FOCUS ON POKER. As I said in my post in the other thread, we cannot allow poker to be seen to be tied to the fate of non-poker forms of gambling, including sports betting. So tell your reps that you are a POKER PLAYER so that they know it is POKER PLAYERS who are most concerned here, and not other types of gamblers. Cliff notes: KEEP THE FOCUS ON POKER AND POKER PLAYERS! [/ QUOTE ] They won't be separating the two. At this point in time it is about a freedom, not about a niche within a freedom.

If Frank's bill clears his committee, it will be attached to some other important bill that has to come through his committee. Also, I think he did a very good job of addressing the stated concerns of the opponents of Internet gambling, so that will help.

Re: H.R. 2046, the Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act of
[censored] Kyl comes out against HR 2046.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 26, 2007 CONTACT: Andrew Wilder or Ryan Patmintra (202) 224-4521 Kyl Will Oppose Efforts to Remove Restrictions on Illegal Internet Gambling WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) today issued the following statement regarding legislation expected to be introduced by U.S. Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) that would remove restrictions on illegal Internet gambling: “I was privileged last year to join with my colleagues in passing legislation that provides federal and state authorities with the power to enforce existing laws prohibiting Internet gambling. For far too long, illegal gambling outlets have circumvented our laws by moving their operations overseas and capitalizing on the anonymity, reach, and unregulated environment the Internet offers. “The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act was signed into law on October 13, 2006, to enhance law enforcement tools for curtailing online gambling activities that violate federal and state gambling laws. Principally, the new law requires financial systems to block fund transfers associated with illegal Internet gambling, which is the most effective way to halt the illegal activities of offshore websites beyond the reach of traditional law enforcement. “I will strongly oppose any efforts to ease or remove the mechanisms that our state and federal authorities have long sought to help enforce existing laws prohibiting online gaming.”

Re: H.R. 2046, the Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act of
Kyl saying that's a good thing IMO.
First, he talks about all the illegal gambling that was stopped and how illegal=bad. That's why it's trying to be legal and legit. If his main argument is "Illegal=bad." "We stopped it, we should keep it up.", he's running out of ideas. Second, he responded WAY too fast. He releases this the same day 2046 is formed smacks of overdefensiveness. Of course, he's still the biggest enemy online gaming has besides inertia, but he's not as strong as he could be.

Re: H.R. 2046, the Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act of
How easy is it to attach a bill like Frist did? Does it have to get past a certain point in the process before it can be attached? Frank couldn't attach 2046 to some bill say tomorrow, could he?
