Recent anti-internet gambling bill "free-rides" its way to passage in congress.
 Importance of Safe Port Act supersedes ridiculous rider that was underhandedly
 attached.
 
 (PRWEB) October 2, 2006 -- A bill imposing strict policies to make gambling
 online almost impossible was passed late Friday night. US citizens and people
 from around the world speak out about government control over gambling related
 transactions through financial institutions.
 
 The bill was passed using methods that question American beliefs and rights. A
 bill, which has been denied individual passage numerous times, was piggy backed
 onto a bill that was guaranteed to pass, The Safe Port Act.
 
 The Safe Port Act, whose purpose is to improve homeland security, does not and
 will not relate to internet gambling, but yet over 30 pages of language relating
 to banning gambling online was included in the Safe Port Act. This can be found
 attached to this press release on the side of the page, between pages 213-244.
 The added section about internet gambling focuses exclusively on an attempt to
 prevent Americans from being able to transfer their own money to websites that
 allow any form of gambling, with exceptions provided for horse racing and state
 lotteries.
 
 
 According to the companies listed below the US government has skipped the
 democratic process of public debate and is trying to take away something that
 well over 60% of Americans enjoy. In fact, a poll by the Poker Player’s
 Alliance, a grassroots advocacy organization of more than 110,000 poker
 enthusiasts, indicated that 94.7% of the people polled believe that the federal
 government should not prevent Americans from gambling online. Bill Frist and
 other proponents knew he would never pass this bill by democratic means so he
 dodged the entire process according to Macpokeronline.com.
