Subject: I VOTE AND I AM OPPOSED TO H.R. 556, THE INTERNET GAMBLING FUNDING PROHIBITION ACT.



Protect your ability and right to gamble online. This week the US house of Representatives is voting on a bill, H.R. 556, the Internet
Gambling Funding Prohibition Act, that is the first step in taking away those rights. Please help block this effort, there are enough of us to make a difference. Please call and/or write your representative in the House of ,Representatives. Tell them you vote and you are opposed to H.R. 556. If possible, please have several of your friends do the same. It's best to call and write To call your representative, dial (202) 224-3121 and give them your zip code. When you reach your representative's office, tell them the substance of the message below

To write to your representative, simply go to this address:
<http://www.house.gov/writerep/>;
Put in your zip code and follow the links. It is important to
include your name and address. You can then cut and paste the following message into the provided area.



I VOTE AND I AM OPPOSED TO H.R. 556, THE INTERNET GAMBLING FUNDING PROHIBITION ACT.
I don't think the government should stick its nose into what forms
of legitimate entertainment adults enjoy in the privacy of their own
home. It is a waste of taxpayer money and limited government resources with absolutely no benefit to the citizens of the United States. This is not how I want my government spending my hard earned tax dollars. Every dollar that would need to be spent enforcing this proposed law could be better spent elsewhere.
It is hypocritical of the federal government to try and prohibit
selected forms of gambling while almost every state in the country condones and encourages its citizens to play other forms of gambling when the state gets a piece of the action. I am offended that the sponsors of this bill have attempted to mix this activity in with terrorism and money laundering in order to help muster support through demagoguery.

Thank you for listening.

PLEASE VOTE NO ON H.R. 556 on Tuesday.
