Online
Gambling Press
Conference in
Atlantic City Friday
Murray Sabin - the
Republican New
Jersey Senatorial
candidate - means
business and the
issue of legalized
online gambling has
now taken front and
center stage for his
campaign. And
why not?
The billion dollar
online gambling
industry would most
certainly offer a
cure for an ailing
economy.
For
Dr. Sabin, the issue
goes even deeper.
He
told Gambling911.com
last week:
"When I take my
place in the Senate,
I will say NO to
draconian laws that
infringe upon the
freedom of Americans
to spend their own
hard-earned money
where they see fit!
Enjoying a wager and
participating in
online gaming should
not be banned. And
those who provide
sites that entertain
and provide services
to online gamers
should not be
treated as
criminals."
Sabin's campaign
informed
Gambling911.com on
Wednesday that they
were planning a
press conference in
Atlantic City
regarding the need
to legalize online
poker and sports
betting. An
exact location and
time would be
determined on
Thursday.
Sabin is supported
by Republican
Presidential
candidate and long
time Texas
Congressman, Ron
Paul, who is
co-sponsoring a
bi-partisan bill
with Democrat Barney
Frank to make online
gambling legal on
the federal level.
Last week, the
powerful Poker
Players Alliance
reached a milestone
million members.
