How to be an Online Casino Gambling Activist — The Best Online Casino Guru - TheBestCasinoGuide.com

Hello to all the online gamblers out there on the World Wide Web from The Casino Guru. This week we are going to take another look at the subject of legalizing online casino gambling in the United States. As the debate on Health Insurance rages in the Congress and across America, there has been zero activity on the issue of legalizing online gambling. No action has been taken on any of the bills pending in the Congress to legalize online gambling for many weeks now. There has not been a shred of coverage in the main stream press or media on the issue either. So it is time for all of us who enjoy online casino gambling to take up the issue and start to advocate for legalizing online gambling.

So how does one become an activist for legal online gambling. Well, it is a sad fact of life that in the United States today 80% of the citizens do not know the name of both of their states’ U.S Senators and the name of their member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Not knowing the names of one’s Senators or Congressperson is pretty shameful. They are supposed to be in their office to represent the will of the people who elected them and that includes you! While it has become a recent trend among our elected officials not to care about our points of view, the actions taken by some activist groups during the debate over the health insurance bill has shown that we still can have a voice.

However to use our voice, we have to participate. We have to register to vote and then actually exercise our right to vote on election days. We can not pass up an election because we are feeling lazy or because the weather is bad on election day. We must follow the issues and become informed and then get out to vote for the candidate who best represents what we believe in. Too many elected officials have become convinced that the people’s opinion no longer matters and that is partly our fault. In the last few National elections in the United States, less than 50% of the eligible voters actually went to the polls and voted. We basically allowed Presidents to be elected to office with less than 33% of the actual eligible voters actually voting for them. In effect, we have thrown away our input on the issues and given up control of our Country to candidates with the biggest bank accounts and the cleverest ad campaigns. This is an absolutely unacceptable state of affairs and we must change this by participating in all future elections on every level.

Now you may ask, what the hell does this have to do with legalizing online gambling. You may be thinking, at this point, that you are being subjected to a speech on getting out the vote. Well, these same people who are elected without a true majority are the same people who are not listening to our voices on ANY of the issues we want dealt with in Washington. How can we expect them to support our cause, if they don’t even know we have a cause. It is up to every one of us to become informed and start a comprehensive campaign of calls, faxes, emails and letters to our Congress persons, Senators and to the President of the United States and let them know we want Online Casino Gambling legalized.

We need to be specific and tell them why we want to legalize online gambling. We must become conversant and fluent in the issues. So what does one say to one’s elected officials on this issue? Here is a point by point list of some of the main points favoring legalizing online casino gambling. We will leave it to you to fill in the details in your own words, so you form your own ideas and are not parroting the opinions of others.
