Another Congressman supports Rep. Barney Frank's bill, making the total number of IGREA supports reach 48. Welcome to the club, Rep. Jerrold!
More Congressmen seem to be supporting online gambling as Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) has become the 48th co-sponsor of the Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act (IGREA).
House Financial Services Committee (HFSC) Chairman Barney Frank is behind IGREA. Now, Rep. Frank suggested that the Congress begin a review scrutinizing the effectiveness of the 2006 ban on online gambling.
A Man Others Look Up To...
Due to his respectable statues in congress, Rep. Nadler
brings greater hope along with his support of the IGREA. Nadler is currently
serving his 9th term as a Member of Congress representing portions of
Manhattan's West Side, Lower Manhattan and areas of Brooklyn. In addition,
Nadler serves as Chairman of the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties
Subcommittee dealing with issues such as expression, religious freedom and
privacy. Nadler plays a major role in ideological battles that take place in congress
such as online gambling.
Nadler also deals with issues such as Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security.
A man others will follow
Nadler clearly presents his support on his website by
stating that "there is nothing more fundamental to being an American that
the assurance against unwarranted government interference in one's personal
affairs."
Rep. Nadler's support may be the element needed in order to persuade the rest of Congress to join the side of legal online gambling.
