    FROM MY SENATOR

    Dear Michael,

    Thank you for contacting me with your concerns about the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (UIGEA). It is an honor to serve as your Senator, and I appreciate hearing from you.

    The implementation of the UIGEA and the impact it has on responsible adults trying to patronize legal businesses is a complex issue that deserves attention. At this time, there is no legislation pending before the Senate on this matter. Any changes to the UIGEA would fall under the jurisdiction of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. As a member of this Committee, I want to assure you that I will be closely tracking this issue and will keep your views in mind.

    If you would like to know more about my work in the Senate, please go to my website, http://merkley.senate.gov/, to sign up for my e-newsletter updates or to email me directly.

    Again, thank you for contacting me. Please stay in touch.

    All my best,

    Jeff Merkley
    United States Senate

  2. I get same from Thaddeus McCotter, in Michigan, virtually identical word-for-word, but for the added line he puts in about how the justice department says that online gaming is a haven for terrorist money.
