| GamblingPhD menu | Silence is Death September 14, 2008 To put it bluntly, if you like online gambling and don�t want it to go away, you�d better open your mouth. By not speaking about, or fighting for, online gambling, you are saying that it is alright for the government to take away your rights and tell you what you can do in your private time. Just as it was for the smokers, it shall be for the online gamblers. Smokers didn�t like the fact that they kept getting shoved into smaller and smaller areas where they were still allowed to partake, but no one said anything. The tons of Americans who are out there and enjoy smoking waited for someone to save them � and they tried to but they couldn�t do it alone. Same thing with online gambling. There are some groups out there in the forefront that are fighting to keep online gambling legal, but they need your help. The first thing you have to do is use your right to vote. Those politicians that don�t support online gambling need to go. Vote for Obama and Biden as they actually have your best interests at heart. Check with your local congressmen and state representatives to see where they stand on online gambling. The Republican Party has made it expressly clear that they are against online gambling and will fight to get it completely illegal. This is the time to vote those people out. If you don�t, you will end up standing in some closet with the smokers wondering where your right to gamble went. |
