How to get Online Gambling legalized in the USA
For many people the several hors drive to the nearest casino just is not realistic because of their busy lives, in California last week a man was arrested for locking his kids in the car while he went into a casino to gamble, but he would have been able to sit at home and watch his kids if he could have logged into an online casino.
But the law is reversible. Now is the time when politicians who have been eyeing the ultimate seat of power will start declaring their intention on running in the next presidential election.
This is where the American people have the power. Now is the time to start protesting the Unlawful gambling act.
Thru protest at the candidate’s rallies you will tell them this is an issue that is not going away. The issue of online gambling managed to get the American people to put the Democrats into power in congress, and now it can do the same for the highest political office in the United States.
When ever a presidential hopeful is appearing in your area you should hold a rally outside where ever it is the candidate will be appearing. Try to locate the entrance and exit they will use and make sure t have people with signs and chanting slogans.
By making Online Gambling a hot issue the candidate will have to address it. If a candidate can not get votes they will not win so if they think they can win by getting the gambling vote they will take up your cause.
Besides protests, I also recommend
Letter writing campaigns: letter writing campaigns are a great tool it allows you to tell your leaders how you feel and gives them a good sense of how strong the American people feel about the subject.
Petitions: petitions are much the same as letter writing except that instead of thousands of letters the receiver of the petition only gets 1 letter with the names of all the signatures on it.
The internet is a great tool for protesting, it allows you to pass your letter or petition to people not only all over the country but the entire world, and can also help spread useful information about protest marches by being accessible to everyone with an internet connection
There are also several myspace pages dedicated to trying to get the laws changed thru protest. The Angryonlinegambler is one such page. He not only offers an online petition but also a message board for people to leave messages about gatherings, and rants about how the government is making the wrong decisions.
It is also important to highlight the benefits to legalized online gambling
Millions of dollars a year could go to the American Government from taxing American player’s winnings, and if American land based casinos were allowed to get into the action then the government could make hundreds of millions for schools, and to further the war on terrorism.
Legalized Online Gambling in the USA would create hundreds of thousand if not millions of much needed new jobs in the customer service industry in the United States and would there for benefit the government.

How Online Gambling can Keep Americans Safer from Terror
With global terror on the rise it is only a matter of time before we in America again find ourselves under attack. Homeland Security, the CIA and the FBI work hard 24 hours a day to try to make our country safe from the kinds of terror attacks that happened on 9-11-2001, but no one can stop every attempt made by terrorists to infiltrate this country.
We need to do what we can to help the authorities with this job. I am not saying you should get a gun and start looking for terrorists in your local mosque, I am only saying we need to keep our eyes open and put a little more thought into what we do.
Israel is a country that has had to deal with suicide attacks on its shopping centers and public transportation for years. To combat this Israel searches everyone for weapons before they can enter any mall, bus or train station and even bars and restaurants, but the USA has not had to deal with these types of attacks so rather then putting guards on these types of public places now they are hoping that attacks of this nature will not take place and these security measures will not be necessary. The problem is that when they change their minds it is because you and your friends got killed by a suicide bomber while you were in the mall checking out the new video games.
There are some things you can do to make yourself safer and less likely to get killed in a terrorist attack.
Travel: use a little common sense when choosing your next vacation location. With just a few minutes of research you can find out what countries are safe for Americans to travel to and which ones should be avoided.
Gambling: I personally try to avoid casinos and only play in online casinos. I have found that many of the big name online casinos offer me the same games and odds as the land based casinos do and I don’t have to buy a plane ticket or fill my truck up to get there. There is also no chance of getting killed by a suicide bomber when playing in an online casino.
Restaurants: large chain restaurants will be more likely targets then a small restaurant would. Most chain restaurants are built on the exact same blueprint. This would allow a terrorist to do research on several different branches of the same place before making the attack on the actual target location.
Entertainment: everyone loves to go out. Some people love bars and others prefer clubs. Just remember that for a suicide bomber to get the most kills he wants to find a large group of people very close together and the tighter together they are the more effective the attack will be.
It is important for us to be aware of our surrounding at all times. Pay attention to others. If it is 85 and sunny and someone is wearing a winter coat there is a good chance they are trying to hide something. If you ever see something suspicious do not attempt to do anything other then notify the police as quickly and quietly as you can. If you start yelling for the police you will alert the suspects and they will get away, but you will also cause a panic in all the people in the area and many people could get hurt or killed all because you saw something suspicious. So please be careful.

How Legalized Online Gambling is Better for Society
The question we should be asking is, by banning online gambling are we going to make things better or worse?
The answer to that question is simple, banning legalized and regulated online gambling in any form, just makes another way for organized crime to get a hold of peoples money, and then no one but the criminals win.
If you want to keep a child from seeing an R rated movie you do not ban the movie from the theaters do you? No that would be silly you just make sure that people are doing there best to check and verify that no one under 18 gets into see the movie. By banning the movie chances are greater that someone will get a bootleg copy and show it to every kid in the town.
So if you want to keep a child from gambling online then all the online casinos should be regulated and monitored, not banned.
The same goes for terrorists. If you believe terrorist groups are exploiting an unregulated and unmonitored industry such as the online gambling industry, then by regulating it you can see where the money is going and make sure it is not going to fund international terrorist attacks. All that is accomplished by banning it is that the criminals get a stronger grip on the industry.
The ban on online gambling is much like the war on drugs. If marijuana was legalized in the USA crimes related to it would almost go away completely, because it would be sold in stores and it would be controlled, another advantage would be that people would no longer be going to jail for marijuana related charges, this means thousands of less people getting arrested and going to jail every year, which would save us tax money that could be better spent.
By making online gambling in the USA a legalized form of adult entertainment it would also bring in an estimated 1.2 billion dollars in taxes to the American government. This money could be used for schools, police and universal healthcare for all Americans.
This is how you improve society, not by telling people what to do. It is human nature to want what we can not have so the more laws you put in place to stop people from doing something the better the chances are that people are going to do it.
People are just as likely to become addicted to gambling at a regulated casino as an unregulated one, but the difference is that in a regulated casino they will not extend you the amount of credit that will get you into trouble in an illegal casino.
And in a regulated casino they will have information on how to get help if you have a gambling problem. In an illegal casino they will not have this type of information, they want you to continue to gamble till you have nothing left, and then they will let you fall and find someone to take your place.
In the long run society can only prosper if we educate people on the dangers of gambling both online and in a casino, and not from banning an industry that employs thousands of people in countries all over the world. No one gains anything from just telling people they can not do something that they are going to do anyway.
It is about time the government learned this and stopped making the same mistakes year after year.
