Much better then the one I got back (from Maryland) which basically said

"I am a strong advocate of global commerce and will take your views into consideration."

I was a little pissed at the response.

Why??? That is a terrific response.

My senator wrote me back to say that illegal internet gambling was plaguing our society.

Default Re: Response from Senator Wyden

isn't this part:

"As you may know, Congressman Jim Leach of Iowa introduced the Internet Gambling Prohibition and Enforcement Act, H.R. 4411, which would modify existing anti-gambling laws to prohibit gambling by any technological means of communication, including online poker, casinos, and sports books."

i mean we can always find ways to deposit, and PP will ensure that the fish know about those ways, but if the act of playing is illegal, we're [censored], right?
