The political manipulation has been apparent since the beginning. Back in the summer of 2003, Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) said of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Funding Prohibtion Act, "We're going to ban Internet gambling except for horse racing. Why? Well, it's because the horse-racing lobbyists and the dog-racing lobbyists say that's what we ought to do." The National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA) PAC contributed over $300,000 to political campaigns in this past election cycle alone.




nothing new there.. same dirty shit as always.

maybe the offshores should have pooled together, and hired a few lobbyists, beofre the shit hit the fan.
