    <pre><tt>Dear Mr. Nabor:

    Thank you for contacting me regarding Internet gambling. I
    appreciate your thoughts and views on this topic and welcome the
    opportunity to respond.

    There is no doubt that the Internet and related technologies
    have
    had a remarkable effect on the U.S. economy in recent years. Commerce
    on the Internet has enhanced American industry=s ability to distribute
    goods economically and efficiently. The continuing development of this
    industry in California has provided hundreds of thousands of new, well-
    paying jobs, and I am committed to strengthening online commerce and
    preserving and expanding this vital job base.

    While I understand your thoughts on internet gambling, I have
    supported legislation aimed at curbing Internet gambling during my
    tenure in the Senate. There advent of the Internet has clearly been
    beneficial to American society, however, I believe the same cannot be
    said for Internet-based gambling activity. Internet gambling is too
    easily
    accessible to minors, too subject to fraud and criminal misuse, and too
    easily evades state gambling laws. The "Internet Gambling Prohibition
    Act" (H.R. 4777) is currently under consideration by the Judiciary
    Committee in the U.S. House of Representatives, and at this time, there
    is no companion legislation in the Senate. While we do not necessarily
    agree on this particular topic, please know that I will certainly keep
    your
    thoughts in mind should this particular bill be considered by the
    Senate
    in the 109th Congress.

    Again, thank you for your letter. I hope that you will continue
    to
    write on matters of importance to you. Should you have further
    questions or comments on this or any other issue, please do not
    hesitate
    to contact my Washington, D.C. office at (202) 224-3841.

    Sincerely yours,

    Dianne Feinstein
    United States Senator</tt></pre>

    I'm a gun owner. Now I have two reasons to hate Feinstein.

    How serious is this bill anyway?

    I don't know if this means anything, but I just sold a car to a man who works for a marketing company who has Bodog as one of their clients. He has been working with Bodog for quite a while and the impression that Bodog has given him is that they are not worried whatsoever about this bill. Infact they are in the process of working out longterm marketing plans.
