CONGRESSMAN GOODLATTE REINTRODUCES LEGISLATION TO PROHIBIT ONLINE GAMBLING
WHO: Congressmen Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), Rick Boucher (D-VA), Frank Wolf (R-VA), other Members of Congress (invited).
WHAT: Congressman Goodlatte will announce the reintroduction of his Internet Gambling Prohibition Act. This legislation, which was previously introduced in the 106th and 107th Congresses, was derailed after Jack Abramoff led a lobbying effort against the legislation. The original legislation received support from more than sixty percent of the House of Representatives but fell ictim to Abramoff’s campaign of misinformation and lacked the two-thirds required for passage under suspension of the rules. Abramoff’s total disregard for the legislative process has allowed Internet gambling to continue thriving and it’s now a $12 billion industry. The Internet Gambling Prohibition Act is ital to protect our children and communities from the problems of addiction, crime, bankruptcy, and family difficulties that come from gambling.
WHEN: 11:00 a.m., Thursday, February 16, 2006
WHERE: 1300 Longworth House Office Building
