Lindsey Graham is a very busy man.
Not only is he a chief cheerleader for warrantless wiretapping and indefinite detention, but he also is working to:
*** Undermine your Second Amendment rights;
*** Limit your free speech through so-called “campaign finance reform”;
*** Force you to carry a National ID card containing sensitive biometric information;
*** Protect crony capitalism and corporate welfare programs like the Export-Import Bank.
You might think that spearheading all these assaults on individual liberty and constitutional government would be enough for Lindsey Graham…
But you would be wrong!
Lindsey Graham intends to reintroduce legislation that will expand the surveillance state, violate the Tenth Amendment, and represents the worst form of crony capitalism.
The bill is called the “Restoration of America’s Wire Act,” which gives the federal government new powers to spy on and control more of the Internet in order to stop individuals from gambling online instead of going to brick and mortar casinos.
It really ought to be known as the iGaming Ban, as its real intent is to outright prohibit certain types of Internet gambling a single billionaire casino mogul is not invested in.
Lindsey Graham was the lead Senate sponsor of the bill in the 113th Congress and has publicly pledged to reintroduce the bill this year.
But since he hasn’t yet, please call Senator Lindsey Graham at (202)224-5972 and tell him to reverse course and not reintroduce the so-called “Restoration of America’s Wire Act.”
The iGaming Ban tramples on states’ powers reserved to them under the Tenth Amendment to legalize Internet gambling.
Currently, three states allow Internet gambling, and numerous other states are considering it.
If Lindsey Graham has his way, Congress will not just nationalize the issue of Internet gambling, it will set a precedent for federal nullification of other state laws protecting our liberties from Congress and the federal bureaucracy.
Senator Graham’s scheme to make it a federal crime to gamble online will also expand the surveillance state’s reach over the Internet.
Of course, Lindsey Graham claims you have nothing to worry about if you don’t gamble.
But how else will the government completely enforce iGaming Ban unless they spy on everyone’s Internet activities?
Consider everything we have learned in recent years about the extent of government surveillance...
How can any American who values their privacy believe politicians and bureaucrats who say they can be trusted with new powers to “police” the Internet?
So even if you do not gamble, the iGaming Ban threatens your liberties too.
Additionally, this legislation is not just an assault on our liberties; it is an example of crony capitalism at its worst.
Lindsey Graham says he want to stop people from gambling for moral reasons and to protect American family’s finances.
But what he is actually doing is stopping one type of gambling in order to benefit a billionaire casino mogul who does not want to compete with other casinos invested in iGaming.
If Lindsey Graham is so concerned about the moral and financial implications of iGaming, why is he so eager to help someone who made his fortune in casino gambling?
Please call Lindsey Graham at (202)224-5972 and tell him to reverse course and not reintroduce the so-called “Restoration of America’s Wire Act.”
Tell him to stop trying to give the government new powers to spy on your Internet usage!
Tell him to stop trampling on the Tenth Amendment, which reserves power over issues like gambling to the individual states.
Make sure he knows you want them to stop trying to set another precedent for federal interference in our personal lives!
A precedent that will no doubt be used to justify future infringements on our liberty.
And emphasize that you don’t support this type of crony capitalism.
If the statists pass the iGaming Ban, it will send a signal to the surveillance state supporters and crony capitalists that it is open season on your liberties.
So please call Lindsey Graham at (202)224-5972 and urge him to stop supporting the so-called “Restoration of America’s Wire Act.”
Tell Lindsey Graham to stop gambling with your liberties.
And if you can, please chip in $10 or even $20 to help Campaign for Liberty stop this attack on Internet Freedom and your privacy.
In Liberty,
Norm Singleton
Senior Vice President
