Former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott and Senator John Breaux are working to thwart Internet gambling on behalf of two Reno casinos, religious and civic groups.
The Coalition to Stop Internet Gambling is backing the "Restoration of America's Wire Act" introduced June 24 by presidential hopeful Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Dianne Feinstein (D-CA).
The bill, according to the Coalition, would stop "predatory online gaming," which has victimized thousands of Americans from all walks of life.
Lott and Breaux lead the six-member lobbying team at Squire Patton Boggs.
Coalition members include the Bonanza Casino, Monarch Casino and Resort, Christian Family Coalition, Faith & Freedom Coalition, televangelist Pastor John Hagee, Revive America president Bob Adams, World Conference of Mayors, Latino Coalition and New York State Assn. of Chief of Police.
