Call your senators and tell them to get out of your life!

Democratic Congressman Barney Frank this week has been out on the interview circuit in order to promote his new Bill that would legalize and regulate online gambling. In the interviews his general message to American citizens who would like the new law to pass has been a strong one. “Call your representative and your senators and tell them to get out of your life!” When asked about whether his bill will be one that takes decades to pass, like the pro-marijuana campaigns that are still running unsuccessfully across the country, or a couple years to pass, he chooses the latter option. He explains that “it really depends on the citizens whose rights to gamble were infringed upon.” Once they realize the intrusion, he says, “the citizens will say ‘hey wait a minute what are you doing? you can’t do this … stop bothering me,'” and he explains that the more representatives hear this “some of them are starting to change (their position on legalizing Internet gambling).” Frank emphasizes that his Bill, that essentially repeals the Internet gambling ban passed late last year in the United States, can be passed soon, but it needs help from the American people.
