Gambling Legislation Dead At Least Through Elections
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 25, 2006

The National Right for Online Gaming (NROG) confirmed
early today that Senator Bill Frist’s attempt to push
through an online gambling ban before Congress breaks
for elections has failed and no more action will be
taken in the coming days. Speaking on condition of
anonymity, a source close to the Senator told NROG
that “the efforts, including an attempt to attach to
the DoD bill, have failed and he (Frist) will not be
moving forward with gambling legislation before
elections.” Congress will return for a “lame duck”
session in mid-November where this issue may take
center stage again. “The Senator has made Internet
Gambling a priority before he exits the Senate and I
will confirm that he is actively searching for a way
to succeed.”

NROG Director of Development, Jay Bailey, said earlier
today "If Senator Frist wishes to make this an issue
then he should do what the House did in July and bring
HR-4411 to the floor of the Senate for debate. Hiding
legislation in other bills to further one’s own
political agenda is not what our citizens deserve.
These games in Washington must stop.”

Founded by businessmen Brian Jakusik and Bailey, the
National Right for Online Gaming is a 501(c)
non-profit focused on informing and educating the
public, through mass media and marketing, about
congressional attempts to take away the right to play
poker, sports books and other casino games online.

Most of the organizations currently lobbying against
the ban are working behind the scenes directly with
the politicians. While NROG has been actively
participating in these inside political battles, they
believe, in light of the political unrest on this
issue in recent months, its time for a more public
approach. “There is no force greater than that of the
American People. We must let them know what’s going
on.” Bailey said.

"It’s unfortunate that there's only one side of the
issue in the media right now." Jakusik said. "The
politicians and the arrests of online gambling execs
are all that people see. They're not getting a
balanced view of the issue. Thankfully we have helped
stop Frist this time, but you can be sure this is not
over. We simply have to get the public active.”
