TheOnlineWire.com Seeks U.S. Congressmen and Senators Willing To Support a Bill Banning All State Lotteries and Over the Counter Scratch Tickets
"We expect Senator Kyl and Congressmen Leach and Goodlatte to be amongst the first politicians to join this battle intended to safeguard the poorest and make the moral issue finally prevail" says TheOnlineWire.com.
Willemstad, NA (PRWEB / PRWEB) April 26, 2006 -- "Let's face it, State Lottery billboards are primarily located in low income neighborhoods" says Roberto Castiglioni, founder of http://www.theonlinewire.com, They induce the poorest and least educated amongst the population to believe in a dream that will likely never come true. And for those that want instant reward there are a multitude of scratch tickets, with names like: Caesars Palace, Hold'em Poker, Bingo, Lucky Wheel and Red Hot 7's, piggy backing on the forbidden games and places http://www.arizonalottery.com/Scratchers/default.asp."
"If the Moral issue is the driving force behind all anti-gaming legislations, then a bill to ban all state lotteries should be first in line for approval" continues Castiglioni. At least all 'cross-state line' lotteries like Powerball and others should be immediately banned. It's surprising that State Lottery facilitators have no problem in cashing unemployment checks to allow the unfortunate to buy their Ticket to Paradise, well knowing that the odds of hitting the jackpot are nearly impossible, and we have yet to find a gambler anonymous sign near the lottery counter or on the billboards.
"At a time when The European Court of Justice ruled that a member state cannot restrict its citizens' access to (Internet) betting services, if at the same time it incites and encourages them to participate in state lotteries and/or other monopolized games of chance, it is discomforting to notice the Congress' frantic efforts to ban online gaming. We strongly believe State Lotteries should be the first to be banned, if this is all so bad for the soul" adds http://www.theonlinewire.com.
"TheOnlineWire.com is prepared to support all Congressmen and Senators who wish to introduce a Bill Banning all State Lotteries and scratch tickets. We actually expect Senator Kyl and Congressmen Leach and Goodlatte to be the first to join this important stance in the fight against immorality," adds TheOnlineWire.com. "In absence of such support, we will expect these politicians to read and understand the more business approach of the European Court of Justice on gaming and that of the UK in particular. TheOnlineWire.com supports regulation as a required and sensible approach to the changing landscape on how business and games of chance are conducted.
"One can have it only one way, either all gaming activities are immoral and therefore illegal or regulation shall prevail in all aspects of gaming, including online sports betting. It is too easy to bring in the terrorists and the money-launderers as the club of clubs to hit the 'enemy.' These allegations have never been substantiated, while many million of tax dollars have been spent in vain trying to make a case. In London, however, yet another huge poker site is going to the exchange. Either London is becoming part of the Axis of Evil, or there is more to it then the Congress cares to reveal."
