A stipulation forbidding US Online Casino playing was peeled from the Republican platform by a draft committee, and re-placed just several hours later on Tuesday by the full Republican Platform Committee, reported by the Congressional Quarterly.
The sequence of steps comes on the inclination that an effort has been done by the Poker Players Alliance to remove the US online casino gambling ban from the GOP platform.
In excess of 160 gamblers, involving 2004 World Series of Poker Main Event champion Greg Raymer, placed public annotations on The Republican Platform Committee's internet site, advocating the GOP eject any regulations that limit the playing of poker online.
Raymer stated "My point is simple......Is the Republican Party no longer the party of personal freedom and individual responsibility? Why has this party, that used to protect my rights, now become the party that wants to create a Nanny-state? Stay away from issues of personal liberty, except to remove old laws that restrict these liberties."
