More support for Barney Franks’ attempt to regulate online gambling in the USA.
 
The
latest American politician to join the fight against the unpopular
Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act by signing on as a
co-sponsor for Congressman Barney Franks’ HR 2046 Internet Gambling
Regulation and Enforcement Act is Representative Steve Cohen.
 
Representative
Cohen hails from the Memphis – Shelby County in the state of Tennessee
and becomes the 39th sponsor of a move to license, regulate and tax
online gambling in the United States which has been slow to gather
momentum but continues to gather political support.
 
A
politician with a public service record that dates back to the
’seventies, Cohen is a lawyer by profession who currently serves on the
House Judiciary subcommittees for courts, the Internet and Intellectual
Property and the Constitution and Civil Rights. He is also a supporter
of the attempt to legalise poker as a skill game proposed by
Representative Robert Wexler.
