I clicked in 975 yes votes

**Chuck Sims** · 03-08-06, 08:49 PM

77% of the voters have voted "No". Thats good. Lets try for 80%. Get out the vote.

This should get more PR! Maybe Mr. Dozer should make a front page newswire? This on the back of the Paypal move to take Euro gambling along with Aprils's WTO review could maybe turn the tide.

**Illusion** · 03-08-06, 09:47 PM

Great idea John. I think it should be on the wire.

**The Great One** · 03-08-06, 09:53 PM

I guarantee the people who voted "yes" are out of shape old men who buy prostitutes every chance they get and old women who are so conservative they haven't given a blowjob in 25 years.

I will sticky this until it goes on the front page of the main site. Everyone is encouraged to vote.

They probably are also the ones that that played and voted no, voted no because they think they will get in trouble.

**pags11** · 03-09-06, 04:39 AM

I voted no as well...no way in hell I'm going back to these local sportsbooks...

**Bill Dozer** · 03-09-06, 11:16 AM

Even those who don't gamble are scared of what kind of effect this has on our basic rights and how we are viewed by other nations.

I can foresee support for enforcing state law but telling an individual he can bet horses in the US but not in the UK is too hypocritical, even for politicians.

**Dave** · 03-09-06, 11:23 AM

Why dont all the books, casinos and pokerrooms get together and hire a lobbyist? These polls dont matter, politicians dont give a rats ass for what the public wants. You have vegas casino lobbyists padding politicians pockets for more laws against online gambling and until the online community starts playing by the same rules nothing is ever going to go in their favor.

wouldn't you think they would have done something like this a long time ago.

is there some law preventing it or something, because it makes no sense why a book like bodog hasn't attempted to do that yet.

What the hell makes you think the online gaming companies aren't lobbying furiously? Be assured that Party Gaming, for one, is spending millions on their lobbying efforts.
