Congressman Frank’s Fight to Overturn UIGEA
As we’ve been reporting on CAP in recent weeks, Massachusetts
Representative Barney Frank has emerged as the leader in the
fight to overturn (or at least reform) UIGEA, the U.S. Congress’
unfortunate 2006 bill that effectively bans all U.S.-based
online gaming.

Rep. Frank has emerged as a sort of cult hero to the gaming
interests who are working so hard to get UIGEA repealed, as we re=
ported Tuesday.
Because of his dedication to the principle that the government
has no business regulating what Americans do in the comfort of
their own homes (“If it affects me, mind your own business”),
his name comes up in virtually every news story about the status
of UIGEA and the fight to repeal it.

If you haven’t been following the stories, it’s w=
orthwhile to
check them out. (And if you live in Massachusetts, please show
Frank some support!) We recently posted a poll asking your
thoughts about these articles; you can vote at http://www.casinoa=

Casinomeister turns Lovemeister: Online gamblers play it for
keeps
Using an Internet online gambling message board,
trans-continental phone calls, email and IP messaging, two
people living thousands of miles apart but with a common pastime
and interests played for keeps this week when their marriage was
announced.

Both were active members on the Casinomeister.com Internet
gambling information portal and forum when they first came into
contact with one another in June last year, and romance
blossomed as they shared knowledge, opinions but above all a
great sense of humor on both their pastime of choice and life in
general.

Message board exchanges grew into private messages, emails and
phone calls between Sweden and the United States on a daily
basis, with Christmas and New Year 2008 jointly celebrated via
the Internet.

“Swede” revealed this week that he and his new bride “Cynt=
hial,”
who runs a construction products company in the States, finally
met face-to-face on neutral ground in London, spending a week
together visiting shows and restaurants and generally getting to
know one another. “By far the best week of my life up until
then,” ‘Swede’ commented.

When the couple parted at London’s Heathrow airport to return to
their respective countries, “Swede” had already made up his min=
d
to join “Cynthial” on a more permanent basis, and in short orde=
r
closed his antiques auctioneering business and started planning
for the big move to the United States. He landed in the States
in April, the couple married and have not looked back since.

Now the couple have a joint venture in mind, planning to open a
restaurant on the historic Route 66 in Albuquerque, New Mexico
later this year.

“Swede’s” new life partner said this week: “You never know=
what
this world has in store for you. I was instantly attracted to
the humor which was apparent in his (Swede’s) posts and letters
and we have not stopped laughing yet. We are just suited to one
another. Truly marvelous.”
