Anti Online gambling act ???
 
After reading cardplayers article on this I'm really starting to believe this WILL PASS.
I'm not sure if they can enforce it 100% but I think they are going to try.
The one thing I took from the article that really hit home with me was something the Leader of the Poker Players Alliance said.

“The Poker Players Alliance supports an open dialogue to discuss this issue and we sincerely hope that the interests of poker enthusiasts in the state of Iowa will be heard at the field hearing,” Bolcerek wrote in a statement. “At the same time, while millions of poker players across the country care about this issue, we do not believe that Internet poker is of critical importance to the average Iowan.

“Field hearings focusing on high gas prices, quality education, and health care, or the escalating war on terror, would be a much more
appropriate and productive use of taxpayer dollars.”


That last part is SO damn true
