[Pirateofc21]

with about 10 minutes left they are currently taking a vote on the amendment which would include all forms of internet gambling including Horse racing.

Yup, I can see the vote.

Looks like we are losing... as expected.

This vote is only for the Amendment to the Bill, not for the Bill.

[lots0]

The Amendment did not pass...

Its now almost a sure bet the Bill will pass.

[lots0]

The Bill is being read again.

They are going to vote soon, if no one can delay it.

Goodlatte's citings of teenagers that overcharge their credit cards, rob banks. or commit suicide due to internet gambling isn't representative of the whole. When are they going to treat adults like adults? When will they realize that there's such a thing as bell curves? Why must the excessive, abusive behaviors of the few punish everyone else?

Goodlatte's pockets are filled with native Casino Money. He has a lot of room to talk about gambling ruining lives... Hypocrite that's what he is.

Because this is more about punishment then protecting. The scary thing is these are adults debating this. I think there is to be another/final vote to come very soon.

The final vote will be in a few minutes.

All the delaying tactics have failed...

I am so damn sick and tired of these assholes trying to protect me.

[belgamo]

Ids this the actual vote right now? Do we want the nay's? Just got home.

[dabruin2]

Looks like it'll pass.
