In the HOUSE OF REPS., Republican Conservatives from Virginia started all this ("for the children.")In the Senate,Conservative Republican Bill Frist got it through:
Internet Gambling Ban
In September 2006, working with Arizona Senator Jon Kyl, Frist was a major Senate supporter of H.R. 4411 - The Unlawful Internet Gambling and Enforcement Act[13] . This amendment to the Safe Port Act was passed at midnight the day Congress adjourned before the 2006 elections. Prior to it being added to the bill, the gambling provisions had not been debated by any Congressional committee.
Then your boy Bush gladly signed it.
Socially Conservative Republicans led the way in all 3 steps of the process.There needs to be a way for greedy people (who don't want to pay any tax) to separate themselves from the social conservatives.You're all together in the same party,and it backfired in this case.
