Re: H.R. 2046, the Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act of
Contacted my rep, Dan Burton.
From one website: John Domi, a former gambling lobbyist, is quoted as saying, "Every time Burton would go on one of my junkets [to Las Vegas], he’d have a different gal." Is that +EV? Edit: Perhaps not: Voted YES on banning Internet gambling by credit card. (Jun 2003)

Re: H.R. 2046, the Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act of
Just thought I'd mention that I called both of my congressmen (my parents house and where I live now temporarily) and neither staffer had any idea about this bill. I was a little surprised. They didn't even know about UGIEA. Bottom line is, don't assume that they know/already have a position on this, you might have a chance to create a first impression and 1 call saying "support this" might actually be the only call they get on the issue.
edit to add: I called both the rep from Boston and one that's been there since the early 80s from my hometown (Lynch and Ed Markey). Ed Markey incidently was huge on breaking up the Bells back in the day. I was surprised that neither of the staffers knew, considering that Frank is literally the next door congressman. I also called Frank's office just to say thanks for doing this.

What would this bill actually mean for poker sites if passed? I still don't fully understand why so many sites felt compelled to ban US players after the UIGEA while others have remained open to them.

I called and talked to one of my Reps' staff members. He said that he'd give me a call after the weekend, when the bill was in his computer. I also sent an e-mail. 15 minutes total. [/ QUOTE ] I got a call back yesterday, and apparently my Rep is a co-sponsor of the bill.
