One More Co-Sponsor

In light of all of the online casinos gambling debate occurring in Washington over the past week, it makes perfect sense that Congressman Barney Franks licensing and regulation bill would find one more voice will to support a move to end the controversial Unlawful Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act (UIGEA). Congressman Frank has announced that bill HR 2046, the Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act (IGREA) now has 48 co-sponsors – one more than before the hectic week of extensive debate on the UIGEA. The 48th co-sponsor is Congressman Jerrold Nadler of the 8th District of New York.

Congressman Nadler is a much respected member of the House of Representatives and is serving his 9th term in Congress. This is the first time that Congressman Nadler has openly taken a side in the online casinos gambling debate – standing up for regulation and licensing in industry. Nadler serves on numerous Congressional committees and subcommittees including: House Judiciary Committee (with Congressman Frank), the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, the influential Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties Subcommittee, and the Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security Subcommittee.

Congressman Nadler’s Web site highlighted just a bit of the reason that Nadler chose to support the online casinos gambling regulation and licensing proposal. His site notes that “there is nothing more fundamental to being an American than the assurance against unwarranted government interference in one's personal affairs." Many consider the UIGEA to greatly impose governmental interference on what an American online gambler does from the privacy of their own home. Nadler’s support and influence in congress with undoubtedly help Frank in gaining more support for IGREA in the coming months as the debates on the UIGEA continue.
