Tweeted. btw I got a response from Senator Schumer. He references HR 1174. Is that a different bill?

**** Thank you for writing and sharing your concerns with the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) which became law in October, 2006. *I understand you are worried about unintended consequences of this bill and would like for online poker to be excluded from the legislation.
****
**** As you know, UIGEA prohibits a financial institution from transferring funds to an online gambling site. *This law was enacted because these sites do not have appropriate safeguards to keep minors from logging on to gamble. *Unfortunately, underage gambling has become a growing problem which has the potential to cause long-lasting damage to a minor's financial health. *
****
**** However, the House Financial Services Committee Chairman and Ranking Member have recently introduced legislation in the House of Representatives which aims to clarify the language of UIGEA. *H.R. 1174, the Internet Gambling Regulation, Consumer Protection and Enforcement Act, would create a framework under which online gambling sites could become licensed and authorized to accept bets and wagers from individuals in the United States. This legislation has not yet come to the Senate but I look forward to reviewing this bill when it does. *
****
**** Again, thank you for contacting me on this important issue. *Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future if I can be of further assistance to you on this, or any other matter.

Monday done.

I heard back from my State Rep., Don Tripp, (NM) and he indicated he would support my position on online poker. :)

Tuesday, July 3rd

Let's keep pushing for our freedoms! With Delaware passing an online gaming bill, we have a nice shot at other states following AND at the federal government getting prodded into action. Let's keep pushing both sides forward, starting by reminding that his state risks getting shut out of online poker -- just as they were shut out of B&M sports betting -- if they keep refusing to pass online poker legislation!

1. Let's send Gov. Christie a prefilled, editable tweet in support of New Jersey's proposed legislation (S 1565) HERE. Let's reach out via Facebook HERE as well. We want to keep the states pushing Congress and Congress pushing the states.
2. Let's send a prefilled tweet promoting today's action plan HERE (or retweet HERE), and let's share the action on our own Facebook walls HERE and via Google+ HERE.

If you've not yet done Monday's action plan, please do that as well:

1. Let's send prefilled, fully editable tweets to Sen Reid, Sen. Kyl, and Sen. McConnell: HERE, HERE, and HERE
2. Let's send the Senate Indian Affairs Committee members these tweets: HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.

Done.

Done.
