Wake up people!!!

When are people going to wake up and stop allowing their congressmen and senators to dictate and legislate moral issues. The latest bill in Massachusetts is probably the worst in a long line of states trying to tell there citizens what they can and can't do on the internet. In this case it's the state trying to keep their citizens gambling money within the state's tax coffers by making online poker and gambling illegal and punishable by two years in prison plus fines.

Kentucky has a similar law and Florida is in the process of trying to enact something very similar. As I understand it Washington state has had bans on internet gambling for awhile now.

This bill, as well as the Kentucky law and the bill in Florida, is blatantly two faced. It seeks to expand live gambling within the state while making online gambling illegal (in the Florida case, not illegal but contained within the state). You might think 'how can anyone vote in favor of a bill like that'. Well it looks like 10 out of 12 legislators voted for it.

When are the citizen's of the country that was founded of personal freedoms going to wake up and stop letting our state and federal government take away our freedom? Wake up people and vote these bastards out of office!!!
