Good News for Online Gambling Camp

February 29, 2008

Barney Frank’s Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act has gotten another boost with the co-sponsoring of Congressman George Miller. Miller has signed on according to a recent announcement, giving the bill a much needed boost.

Some are saying so what? that there are lots of sponsors on the bill already – but this one is a big one. Miller is the Chairman of the House Democratic Policy Committee, which is responsible for forming the policies of the Democratic Party. This is a huge step for the bill.

This means that there is a chance that the online gambling bill could become an official policy item of the Democratic Party and thus become a part of the official Democratic platform. These are all maybes but there is a chance that it could happen and if it does the ban on online gambling is bound to come to an end.

There had been rumblings according to insiders that said that there was some kind of big deal going on with Frank’s bill and that it was about to get another sponsor. However, few realized just who that sponsor would be or the kind of weight that they would bring with them to the online gambling cause.

This sort of movement towards legalizing online gambling is a great move for enthusiasts, not so great for those opposed to it. So remember, come voting time, get out there and support those candidates that are supporting the fight to get online gambling legal again.
