Find out who's up for election in your congressional district and get them to take a position on this. Most incumbents voted for this, so consider voting for someone other than one with a prohibitionist stance.

RISE UP PEOPLE!!! I know its football season and there's lots of games to study. But to reverse the government's attacks on personal liberty, a movement must take place.

 Go to congress.org, type in your zip code and go!!!

For your convenience, copy and paste this letter. 

"I would like to know what your position is about this law that was enacted as part of the SAFE Port Act 2006. This anti-free trade protectionist measure drew legal condemnation by the WTO and represented a broad strike against internet freedom in the United States. The US Government then proceeded to arrest and prosecute numerous CEOs and board members of legitimate publicly traded companies in a disgraceful and cowardly act characteristic of a fascist government. The law has backfired, running legitimate businesses out of the United States market and widening the breeding ground for less reputable organizations – the exact opposite of the purported intention (aside from appeasing Vegas donors).

 

The existing legislation is an inappropriate interference on the personal freedom of Americans and this interference should be undone. Furthermore, this legislation has been determined to be in violation of the World Trade Organization treaty obligation by not granting full market access to online gambling companies.

 

Please inform me whether you would support repealing this law as I will be considering supporting candidates that respect the rights of law abiding adults and seek to draft and support legislation towards the regulation and taxation of online gambling.
