Title: Justice Department/restriction of online gambling
Post by: Al Caught Up on January 15, 2019, 10:54:47 AM
I am so GLAD that we have Sheldon Adelson to decide where and when we can wager! I can tell he\'s deeply concerned about the welfare of children.

>>Curtailing such online gambling ventures has been a major goal of Adelson, who with his allies has argued that Web-based gambling would hurt children, invite criminal activity and produce little actual revenue for states.

>>Adelson and his wife, Miriam, gave $113 million to support Republicans in the 2016 cycle, including $20 million to back President Trump’s campaign.
