I don't know if this has been posted before.

go to http://www.c-span.org/

type "gambling" into the video search

Leach gives his views on the bill. Then they take calls. He pretty much gets dominated by the callers. I love the Jesus Ferguson mention. Apparently Jesus made a visit to Mr. Leach. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I don't know why the search isn't working anymore but it's the 8th red arrow on this page.

this video makes me ill. This guy has no clue what he's talking about. I love how he say's that most poker sites are owned by "mafia" types. Umm, yeah, love to see some proof of that.

This is great as well. About 8 1/2 minutes in a caller asks why we don't focus on regulating it instead of banning it. He goes completely around the question and instead starts talking about that kid who tryed to rob a bank. nh Leach.

Wasn't able to get video to work, but did watch him when it was on c-span, and I remember him saying it takes great skill to become a top poker player.

This kind of thing is why we need to take this threat very seriously.

Anyone have a link to the House debate? I haven't been able to find anything on C-Span.com
