Jupitermedia is mostly associated with images these days but we still own a powerful collection of online media properties known as JupiterWeb. Today our Washington correspondent Roy Mark posted an article reporting on the passage of proposed legislation to ban Internet gambling. I have been writing in opposition to such legislation. Roy Mark's article will give readers the details about this latest House proposal.

Not surprisingly the various Representatives who "desire" to protect Americans from gambling have protected or exempted all forms of gambling that take place within each State from this new legislation. If you are going to ban gambling on the Internet, then ban all forms of gambling. Of course the typical American politician is a phony with no backbone and thus this ridiculous legislation.
