    Question Ahoy!

    Thanks for the welcome. I just couldn't read anymore without saying something which reminds me.....what about Online Casinos within the boarders of the US? Have I been at sea too long? This would solve some of the issues about money leaving the US economy bound for off-shore destinations. AArrrgghh!

'Nuff said. But I'll go on anyway. I read so much of the ill's of online gambling....OOHHH shivr me timbrs. The losses of money, destruction of family, so many other PRODUCTIVE things to do with ones time. Why is nobody talking about the possibilities for good when one wins? Yes it's rare to win alot but it doesn't have to be alot to do something positive. Ban online gambnling and you deny every online gambler the possibility to do good should one achieve the means to. Now I am not saying that one needs money to do good. Consider it a counterpoint to all this negative blah, blah, blah.
    Ah the return of a legend. We didnt meet the first time round, but you're infamous me 'arty Welcome back to dry land ooh ar.

    HR 4777 has picked up another 12 representatives last week from NC, KY, TN, TX, MI, FL, PA, CA. This brings the number of co-sponsors up to 130.

    Thanks for the update.

    You know I was wondering why my representative dismissively never answered my email I sent three weeks ago voicing my opposition to HR 4777. Now I see he's one of the newest cosponsors to this bad bill:

    Rep Peterson, John E. [PA-5] - 3/14/2006

    Guess there's my answer. Well I'll have something to say to that when I cast my vote for representative to Congress this November.

    sdaddy,

    You're absolutely right...I've never really paid much mind to voting for State/local reps. before, but issues like this make me more attentive to a candidate's views. And I must say that I think it is highly unprofessional in your State rep's capacity to not even provide an acknowledgement of receiving your email/opinion, whether he is for or against the issue, a good Rep. should take their constituents' views into polite consideration.

    To my knowledge and what we've received at work so far, the Financial Services Committee report has not been submitted yet. We've had reports from other committees, but nothing yet concerning H.R. 4411 or 4777..but will continue to keep an eye out

    I haven't gotten a reply from my Rep either. I'm sure he'll know where to find me when he's looking for campaign contributions
    Someone reported a few posts above that there are now 130 co-sponsors to HR4777. Where can we find out who these folks are and how we can email them? Even though they may not be our state Rep, we can still let them know we won't forget for the next presidential elections and we will also broadcast their record of limiting citizen's freedom as much as we can. Most of the co-sponsors belong to the party that cherish right to life but then don't give you much freedom to do something with it. Thoughts?

    Couldn't agree more.

    Not that it's an excuse, but perhaps my rep's attitude comes from being in a so-called safe Republican district. I think he's been in office six terms now, and never once had to face a Democratic opponent in the general election. I don't believe this year is going to be any different. This could easily lead someone to become insulated from public opinion/concerns.

    I would say good point. Two ideas that are supposed to compliment actually opposing of eachother.

    And they call this the Land of the FREE indeed....

    I am doing my best to drum up support against this Bill. I have written a few representitatives to vote against it. I would write my rep. from my state, but unfortunatley, it would do no good as I live in VIRGINIA. (That's right, the home state of the ID10T Pushing this bill.)

    I will continue with my efforts to get rid of this thing.....


    Cynthia777 You rock. Keep up the good work!
