“Rep. Barney Frank’s efforts to deal with this outrageous legislation [the prohibition on Internet gambling] are heroic…problem gamblers are [currently] left as prey for unscrupulous operators that will work outside the law. Frank has introduced a more sensible solution. His plan creates a licensing and regulating mechanism that will allow us to sort out the most responsible sites…Frank understands that these technological advances enable us to effectively regulate the industry. He also knows that more than 80 countries and jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom, are demonstrating how to successfully oversee the industry…Only meaningful regulation of online poker, line the Frank plan, will produce positive outcomes for players, children, the economy, the taxpayer, and society in general.” Boston Herald, May 14, 2007.
