Internet Gambling Update

Last Thursday, I linked to a Washington Post article that reported that Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is trying to use the conference committee process to sneak the provisions of H.R. 4411 into a defense appropriations bill. That bill is H.R. 5122.

Please take a minute to look at the list below. If one of your members of Congress is on the list, please take a few minutes to tell him or her not to sneak any restrictions on internet gambling into H.R. 5122. Contacting the Congress makes it easy to find your members' contact information.
