Representative John Conyers, a Democrat from Michigan, has become the latest member of the US Congress to sign on as a supporter of proposed legislation to legalise and regulate online gambling in the United States.
Congressman Barney Frank, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, introduced bill HR2267 in May this year, and the proposal has already attracted support from 48 other members of Congress.
Representative Frank has repeatedly urged American online gamblers to get behind his latest attempt to overturn the UIGEA by communicating with their politicial representatives and urging them to support the bill.
