New Co-Sponsors Join Barney Franks Online Gambling Bill

July. 26, 2009

Rep. Barney Frank was sure he was going to get a lot more support in his attempts to overturn the UIGEA. He just did not know he was going to get so much support so quickly.

Five new co-sponsors have signed on to Frank's online casino gambling Bill, HR 2267. The law would essentially overturn the UIGEA, and set the foundation for legalization and regulation of Internet gambling in the US.

Of the five politicians that have been added, two are from New Jersey, and one each are from New York, Connecticut, and Idaho. Rep. Frank is gaining support not only among his fellow Democrats, but also on the other side of the aisle from Republicans.

Rep. Joe Courtney was added to the law from Connecticut. In Connecticut, there is a push from online casinos in the state to overtake New Jersey as the casino gambling capital of the East Coast. From New Jersey, Rep. Frank A. LoBiondo and Rep. John H. Hadler are now co-sponsors.

The state of New York already has their share of politicians backing the USA online casino gambling Bill. Rep. Paul D. Tonko has added his name to that list. Rep. Walter Minnick from Idaho has also been added.

Frank is showing that he can get support from all different parts of the country. The recent seizures of bank accounts by the US government has opened many people's eyes in the US. The bank accounts were being used to pay out winning online poker players, and once they started not receiving their money, they responded harshly.

Many of these online poker fans have contacted their state politicians and shown their distaste for the laws. The politicians are answering the call for action by latching on to Frank's Bill..
