A return email from my State Senator about online gambling

Sent an email yesterday and got a return today. Basically used BigJohns letter...thanks bro!!


Dear Mr. :

Thank you for contacting me about Internet gambling. I appreciate having the benefit of your comments on this matter.

As you may know, Representative Bob Goodlatte introduced H.R. 4777 on February 16, 2006. This legislation would prevent financial institutions from paying electronic bank drafts made to organizations involved in gambling across state lines. Current anti-gambling law enforcement tools were developed before the advent of the Internet and online gaming; H.R. 4777 would update the enforcement tools available to investigating authorities. H.R. 4777 was referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary for further consideration.

In other Internet gambling legislation, Senator Jon Kyl proposed an amendment to H.R. 2862 (the Science, State, Justice, Commerce, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act) that would prevent the use of certain payment instruments, credit cards, and fund transfers for unlawful Internet gambling, and for other purposes. However, this amendment to H.R. 2862 was ruled out of order by the chair, and no similar measures have been proposed.

I appreciate having the opportunity to represent the interests of Texans in the United States Senate, and you may be certain that I will keep your views in mind as the Senate considers relevant legislation. Thank you for taking the time to contact me.

Sincerely,

JOHN CORNYN
United States Senator

I got the exact same bullshit resonse. Cornyn is a clown who does not have the balls to tell his constituents that he wil be voting for this bill if it makes it before the Senate for a vote.
