Fighting H.R. 4777, the Internet Gambling Prohibition Act

**Pirateofc21** · 11th July 2006, 07:20 PM

Finally some comments from someone who has done some research (Bobby Scott, Shelley Berkley). Wow online shopping abuse, where do we stop? I don't know about others but I haven't been able to use a credit card in quite some time. If you want to protect my family provide my family and children the regulation of the industry that would do that. My older girl loves horses and is quite capable of betting, should she want to, on Horse racing without a credit card, bank account or computer.

Thank you Ms. Berkley

This bill is already in trouble......I highly doubt it gets through the Senate even if it gets through the house

That is Rep. Frank Wolf. He was one of Pat Robertson's and Christian Coalition's (sp?) preferred candidates. Turned out true to his name.

Yay! Come on Americans - you have another whole day of legal gambling

Seriously i like the way your House of Representatives works with this time allotment system. Our "mob" could learn from that rather than live in a Chicken house for 8+ hours a day!

If something's postponed, then that means the majority has to go take more time to twist some arms or perhaps make some last-minute changes to the bill. Not often will a bill be brought up for final vote in the House, if there's not a likelihood it will pass.

By the way, once I switched to Real Player from WMP I was able to get C-SPAN's web broadcast to work.
