Allow Internet Gambling In Your State

Dear Governor,
As an American, I am outraged to learn that Congress has passed legislation that will severely restrict my ability to have certain freedoms in my own home. Unfair passage of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act is clearly designed to restrict the freedoms of Americans and voters who sent you to office to represent them. This law prevents us from making mature decisions about how we spend our leisure time and money. I am further outraged to learn that the bill was added at a late hour to the Safe Port Security Bill without the ability of debate and only 15 minutes prior to a vote on a must pass bill. It is improper for Congress to declare itself the overseer of American Morals and to enact legislation that dictates ideology instead of common sense. The United States, in so enacting this law, has willfully violated World Trade Organization rules and the WTO has ruled against the United States on this issue, in favor of the country of Antigua. Now the European Union is considering similar action as this is seen globally as protectionism. I urge you to use your considerable power and influence to enact a law that will not prohibit this activity in our great State. Our right to freedom is being denied. The UIGEA allows for States to allow internet gambling if they so choose. We, the undersigned represent many millions of Americans that favor this legislation. I understand and agree that by signing this petition, I am in favor of having Internet gambling allowed in our State. Unfair passage of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act is clearly designed to restrict the freedoms of voters and prevent us from making mature decisions about how we spend our leisure time and money.

We the undersigned, as Americans, are outraged to learn that Congress has passed legislation that will severely restrict our ability to have certain freedoms in our own homes.
Unfair passage of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act is clearly designed to restrict the freedoms of voters who sent you to office to represent them, and prevent us from making mature decisions about how we spend our leisure time and money.
I am further outraged to learn that the bill was added at a late hour to the Safe Port Security Bill in the 109th congress, without the ability of debate and only 15 minutes prior to a vote on a must pass bill. It is improper for Congress to declare itself the overseer of American Morals and to enact legislation that dictates ideology instead of common sense.
The United States, in so enacting this law, has willfully violated World Trade Organization rules and the WTO has ruled against the United States on this issue, in favor of the country of Antigua. Now the European Union is considering similar action as this is seen globally as protectionism. Sanctions are forthcoming from the WTO that will suspend copyright, patent, and trademark agreements which will affect many of our corporations and residents.
We urge you to use your considerable power and influence to ensure that this unfair legislation is negated by your implementation of comprehensive law governing Internet gambling, and our right to freedom is preserved.
I understand and agree that by signing this petition, I am in favor of the repeal of the UIGEA.
Knowing what a busy schedule you have, we thank you for taking the time to receive and read this as it is very important to us all.
