(Dead link: http://www.govtrack.us/data/us/bills.text/109/h4411.pdf)

The vote is scheduled for TOMORROW Tuesday July 11th.

I recommend everyone interested contact your congressman and tell them to pursue regulation and taxation of the online gambling industry rather than an ineffectual prohibition instead.

Yes, unfortunately this bill passed in the House by a wide margin. Next stop is the Senate. In previous years, this same thing has happened, and the bill never made it to the Senate floor. I'm hoping that happens again this year.
