Internet Gambling Prohibition Act
The following information is taken from an email sent to me by The Poker Player's Alliance. Please do NOT delay in contacting your representative and letting them know that you play poker on the Internet and that you find it unbelievable that anyone would try to prohibit people in the United States from their right to freedom in usage of the Internet. You might also question why the United States is aware that other countries rake in revenue from hosting and licensing Internet gaming sites yet refuses to share in the regulation and profit of these sites.
Don't delay in taking action to preserve your right to choice. CALL NOW!

In the coming days, the House Judiciary Committee will vote on H.R. 4777, Internet Gambling Prohibition Act, sponsored by Congressman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA). This legislation turns private companies into the government's "morality police." It requires Internet service providers (ISPs) to remove gambling related hyperlinks and forces banks to monitor your purchases and transactions to ensure that you are not gambling online. The plan is an affront to civil liberties. If the committee passes the bill, your ability to enjoy poker online will be at serious risk.
Each member of the Poker Players Alliance has a critical voice in this debate. The members of the committee, listed below, need to know that Americans think this legislation is a bad idea.
For more information about H.R. 4777, go to the Poker Players Alliance Web site, www.pokerplayersalliance.org .
Please Call! Tell these Representatives to oppose the Goodlatte plan.
