TESTIMONY SOUGHT ON GAMBLING - INDIAN CASINO RESERVATION SHOPPING A House committee is considering gambling law changes and wants your input by today Thursday, although even if its late they STILL want it. There is an easy questionaire that is pretty self explanatory. Way cool way to get your ideas to Congress. http://www.family.org/cforum/feature/a0036864.cfm

A House committee is considering gambling law changes and wants your input.

Congress is currently accepting public testimony about off-reservation gambling. Rep. Richard Pombo, chairman of the Committee on Resources, held an oversight hearing on the issue last week in Sacramento — one outcome was a request for input from people across America.

Honestly, I would have a hard time getting worked up if the ultra rich, ultra liberal Hamptonites got their billions in real estate taken from them by the indians. After all, the liberals are ever so compassionate to the indians and their current plight and demand compensation for them very often.

"land that is currently owned by others or taking it in some kind of land grab" - RuthannaK

The whole rest of the United States that is not a reservation was acquired by extremely violent land grabs. Now they play the game by the rules, and you want to change them. What gives?

Yep...one BILLION...and I'd gather 90% of that was OKIE money too.....

I predict we aren't going to like what we've done to ourselves here...shortly.

We've already had a guy wanting to jumb off a building in T-town....

A grandmother getting mugged after two slugs followed her home from a casino.

I work with a guy who's sister spent her rent money at a local casino...

It's not going to get better.
