Fight for Your Online Casino Rights8 Oct 2006 The manner in which the legislation banning online gambling in the US was passed, has caused much outrage in the online casino world, and the online gamblers are not going out without a fight, or at least not without sufficient media coverage. The players wish to bring further attention to the US governments intention to block the financial channels used by US players and to stand up for their right to pursue their entertainment of choice.
Players are hoping for an outcome in which President Bush will decide to use his power to strip away add-on bills to primary bills like the online casino legislation which was added on to an unrelated defense bill. It is in players' best interest that this should happen, resulting in the bill being sent back to Congress to be debated and voted on as an individual bill.
The march is timed to let President Bush consider the strong opposition the bill is causing. Demonstrators will meet in front of the Washington Monument on Monday, October 9th at 9am EST and organizers are inviting all supporters of freedom to come to Washington to protest the bill that would finalize online casino gaming.
