Hypocrisy Exposed

ESPN's 'Outside The Lines' had an excellent segment on Internet Gambling this morning. It's certainly worth checking out and if I can find a video link, I'll post it here. There was a sports handicapper on the program that did a great job of exposing the hypocrisy of H.R. 4411, the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act that just passed the U.S. House of Representatives by a 317-93 margin.

In response to the legislation passing, PocketFives.com and the Poker Players Alliance will be co-sponsoring the Phone March on Washington to Tuesday, September 12, 2006 from 9:00am ET until 5:30pm ET. Everyone is encouraged to call 800-289-1136, which will connect you to your Senators' offices. Tell them that you oppose any legislation that would prohibit online poker, that prohibition doesn't work, and that it should be regulated and taxed.
