It seems that Bob Barr is once again making an appearance in the press these days, but this time it is not in regards to a hopeful presidential run, it is in regard to the Libertarian Party member’s stance on the future of online casinos in the United States. Barr has indicated that he thinks the poor condition of the national economy is going to hold back any sort of real progress that may have at one point been possible is going to need an overhaul. What that should look like, he has declared, is that the federal government needs to pass bills that will help boost the struggling economy and being to take us down the road toward recovery.

This should definitely include legalizing and regulating online casinos so that the American government can harness the revenue gained from taxing the gambling sites and use it to help stabilize the economy. It makes a whole lot of sense to me and to many other people who have been advocating for the legalization of internet casinos in America for a number of years now.

There have been a number of different bills proposed by the likes of Jim McDermott, Robert Menendez and Barney Frank that are worthy of the government’s attention. We have been struggling for a way to rejuvenate the national financial situation and now there is one that is flashing its blinking lights right in our face and we are not giving it the attention it deserves. The bills that have been proposed by these politicians for internet casino regulations are strong and point us in the direction of a financial solution. What more do we need to go on than that?

Now that the election has finally come to a close, the spotlight will shift from the celebrity and glamour of the race to the White House to the democrats who will rule the roost in both the Senate and the House. The online gambling community will be watching and waiting to see whether or not these politicians will back up their promises with real action in terms of undoing all of the damage Republicans have wrought in recent years.

Representative Barney Frank has insisted that they will eventually push for Internet gambling to be legalized and regulated with legislation that makes logical sense. Another important quality the new legislation much have is that it be feasible and enforceable. The Republicans have been hard at work in charge of pushing forward with their agenda of applying ridiculous and unenforceable legislation aimed at shutting down any hopes of making online gambling legal within the United States.

Washington State Representative Jim McDermott has also sought to push forth legislation that will repeal all of the unenforceable nonsense of the UIGEA and the taxation of online casinos. Many other politicians have made a point of trying to introduce legislation that will legalize online poker and online gambling in general.

Since the democrats will be assuming complete control of both the Senate and the House in addition to the White House, players and online casino operators alike are looking on with earnest hope that things will finally go their way. Although they might have to wait until the economy settles down and the situation in Iraq gets figured out, surely some big and positive changes will be on the way.
