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.
