46th US Representative to support legalisation and licensing of online gambling in the US

Barney Frank's Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act HR 2046 (IGREA) has it's first 2008 political support this week following the decision by Congressman George Miller to support the licensing and regulation of online gambling in the United States.

Congressman Miller becomes the 46th Congressman to sign up for the proposal, which if successful could make the UIGEA largely redundant.

Miller is a respected and distinguished politician who entered Congress in 1974 and is currently serving his 17th term, where he is chairman of the House Education and Labour Committee, a member of the House Natural Resources Committee and chairman of the House Democratic Policy Committee.

His interests include Retirement and Health Benefits for Americans, furthering Innovation and Technology, Science and Education and strengthening America's economy to create good jobs that stay in the country.

The Congressman is one of the four original authors of the No Child Left Behind Act in 2001 and is leading the effort to review the law to make it more fair, flexible and better funded. He is also the author of the College Cost Reduction and Access Act - the single largest expansion for federal financial aid for college since the GI Bill.

Congressman Frank has re-emphasised how important it is for US players who want to see an end to the oppressive and impractical UIGEA to contact their political representatives and make known their feelings. This is one of the most effective ways in which further support for the Frank Bill and the regulation of US online gambling can be achieved.
