The Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative is taking up the fight to promote the freedom of individuals to gamble online. Like you, we believe that playing poker online is a matter of personal choice and we should be able to do so without the government getting in our way.
One of our main goals is to promote legislation introduced by Congressman Barney Frank, the Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act, which will legalize Internet gambling.
