    <p>That the federal government would try to use the excuse of "national security" to hide what they've agreed to shell out in trade concessions is a disgrace.</p>
    <p>Further adding to the already mountainous pile of evidence suggesting that the people in Washington D.C. have not only lost touch with the American people, but are willing to alienate the rest of the global community as well, all in the name of perserving their assinine Sacred Cow, the UIGEA.</p>
    <p>Votes these corrupt, repressive donkeys out and put some new blood in Washington or this crap will just keep getting worse.</p>

    <p>Banning online gambling is in no way alienating the people or other countries... that is absurd.</p>
    <p>Many people feel they have been cheated when playing online "regardless if this is true or not" it is their perception. These same people have access to an congressperson or Senator that is voting. </p>
    <p>What has not been done very well is to demonstrate how cheating will be dealt with, how under aged kids will be restricted, how to help addicts, how to track potential terrorist activity, how taxes will be paid, and which government agency will oversee/what enforcement powers they will have.</p>
    <p>IMO Until the people who feel they have been cheated can feel confrontable and say let's move forward with the changes nothing is going to change.</p>
    <p>Another way to look at it... the good people of the USA have let hundreds of thousands of jobs go overseas; Why would the good people of the USA want to let Billions of USA dollars/income/taxes continue to go overseas? How do the good people of the USA benefit?</p>
