Many Americans like to gamble as a way to have fun, and they don't like that it's against the law to gamble online.
Many people are too busy to drive the several hours to the nearest casino. Last week, a man in California was arrested for leaving his kids in the car while he went to a casino to gamble. If he could have logged into an online casino, he could have stayed at home and watched his kids.
But the law can be changed. Now is the time for politicians who have been looking at the White House to say whether or not they will run for president in the next election.
Here is where the power of the American people lies. It's time to start speaking out against the Unlawful Gambling Act.
By protesting at the candidate's events, you will show them that this is a problem that won't go away. The issue of online gambling got the American people to vote for the Democrats in Congress, and now it could do the same for the highest political office in the country.
When a presidential candidate comes to your area, you should hold a rally outside of wherever they are going to be. Try to find the entrance and exit they will use, and make sure to have people with signs and chanting slogans.
Making online gambling a hot topic will force the candidate to talk about it. If a candidate can't get votes, they won't win, so if they think they can win by getting the gambling vote, they will support your cause.
Aside from protests, I also think
Letter-writing campaigns are a great tool because they let you tell your leaders how you feel and show them how strongly the American people feel about the issue.
Petitions: A petition is a lot like writing a letter, except that the person who receives it only gets one letter with all the names of the people who signed it on it.
The internet is a great tool for protesting because it lets you send your letter or petition to people all over the country and even the world. It can also help spread useful information about protest marches because anyone with an internet connection can see it.
There are also a number of MySpace pages set up to protest and try to change the laws. One of these pages is the AngryOnlineGambler. He has an online petition and a message board where people can talk about gatherings. He also goes on rants about how the government is making bad decisions.
It's also important to point out the pros of making online gambling legal.
The American government could make millions of dollars a year by taxing the winnings of American players. If American land-based casinos were also taxed, the government could make hundreds of millions of dollars for schools and the war on terrorism.
If online gambling was legalised in the United States, it would create hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of much-needed new jobs in the customer service industry. This would be good for the government.
