Sen. Vitter,
I would like to say that I am very disappointed about the recent evidence linking you with the Madam situation in D.C. I didn't agree with you concerning your stance on internet gambling, but I did respect your character and values. Now that you have broken a huge ethical issue in regards to your marriage vows, I am having trouble respecting your opinion regarding internet gambling. I would very much like to start playing internet poker again as a hobby in the safety of my own home, (at which I was, by the way, earning extra income for my wife and child.) Please give the legislation that is being proposed by Rep. Barney Frank a very serious consideration if it does make it onto the Senate floor. Poker is a game of skill and should be protected through regulation and taxed for a benefit to our country. Internet poker will go on whether it is legal or not, so you may as well regulate and tax it. If you would like evidence or examples that poker is a game of skill, I would love to take you to a casino in Shreveport or Vicksburg and demonstrate some of the skills of poker to you. I make trips to the casino once or twice a month and average an income of >$10/hr while there. I don't put any money into the slot machines or gamble on craps or any other house games. They aren't beatable in the long run but poker is very beatable due to the level of skill involved with the game, even with the 10% rake that the house takes. Also, the situation with the WTO has become very unfavorable concerning this issue, several countries are lashing out against the U.S. concerning our hypocritical stance on internet gambling which allows internet betting on horse racing and lotteries, but not poker which is much more of a skill game than either of the other two legal forms previously listed.

I am not a degenerate gambler, but a family man. Please take this into consideration as you contemplate your stance on internet gambling.
Sincerely,
Joey H. - NELA Resident

or B: If your children can't get enough nutrition at home, I hear the Congressional Page stipend is generous. I hear if you don't mind some extra work for Congressmen while wearing boxers, you can really clean up.
