This is the email I have just sent Senator Frist and Senator Kyl
Dear Senator
My comments are regarding your rather sly means of obtaining passage of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act.
Once again our elected officials and the Citizens of this Country have been denied a voice on an issue that I believe is a personal one that does not require involvement by the Federal Government.
As a Citizen in the highest tax bracket I do not see where you have any right telling me how I can spend my money.
The U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights are being further diluted by our Government and the Supreme Court of the United States.
When is it going to stop? There are far more important issues. Ones that involve increasing the quality of life and providing citizens with a safe environment.
This is just another indication that U.S. Citizens clearly have no voice in the way in which they are governed. It is also the reason many have lost trust faith in their elected officials.
These are my thoughts on this issue. I believe you should have followed the correct procedure and allowed debate on this issue. Also, I do not appreciate being told what I can spend my after tax money on. The choice should be mine not yours. I am not a gambler by any means but if I wanted to gamble on the internet, that should be my decision as a responsible adult.
I listed Civil Rights as my message topic because I believe this is an issue regarding rights of Citizens in this Country. Rights that are continually decaying.

(Obviously my email will do nothing, but I keep informed on what is happening in both my States Capitol and Federal Government and sending emails on the issues is my way of voicing my opinions.)
