Barney Frank will be introducing his bill On the 18th of April
On the 18th of April Barney Frank will be introducing his bill to the US Congress. Congressman Frank means business about going after the UIGEA, a law he called the stupidest in American history. (Frank’s deliberate approach is a positive sign for the desperate Internet gambling industry) Frank will not be taking the angle against the UIGEA that says the bill was passed deceitfully, or that no one had a chance to amend the bill, or vote on that specific portion of the Safe Port Act. Instead, Frank is going after the UIGEA by saying it takes away the rights of basic American freedom. (Newly appointed Poker Player Alliance Chairman Senator Al D’Amato, and Congressman Frank will be working together to fight the UIGEA). Frank also said that he will be seeking guidance of friend and former Senator Tom Downey from New York for help with the bill.
One thing is for sure, the Internet gambling community has gained the best friend they ever could have asked for.
