Online Gambling Ad Campaign
If you browse the Web sites of the Washington Post, The Hill and Politico, you will likely find the following ad: 
The Obama administration, along with Congress, are busy with framing (and fighting over) a health care reform. Jeffrey Sandman, spokesperson for the SSIGI, presents this not as a problem for his cause but rather as a relevant political fact: the money that will be raised from a regulated ONLINE GAMBLING industry will help pay for the reform. The series of ads has been released by online gambling advocacy group the Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative: The ads will propose two major reasons for legalizing online gambling. The first, according to spokesman Jeffrey Sandman, is that the government needs to “start collecting taxes on the billions in revenue currently lost to unlicensed, offshore gambling operators.” He says that the extra tax money can be used to pay for healthcare reform and “other worthy programs.” The second reason given is that, according to the lobby, gambling online in an unregulated industry is much more dangerous than if the government was in charge. A smart campaign for online gambling would focus on the fact that the government has no right to tell the people how they can and can’t spend their money online. Have fun gambling online!!
