Bill HR 2046, or the Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act, or the IGREA, picked up another co-sponsor today. That makes 39 co-sponsors, 40 all together with Frank.
Rep. Steve Cohen [TN-9], representing Memphis/Shelby County of Tennessee, has signed on today to co-sponsor Congressman Barney Frank’s Bill H.R. 2046 to become the 39th co-sponsor….
This endorsement is important for many reasons, the most obvious is that the total including Barney Frank, now stands at 40 supporters in the House for the IGREA (HR 2046), but more importantly, Congressman Cohen is known throughout his career for standing up and speaking out for the people who elected him, and not the special interests. Rep. Cohen is regarded as the father of the Tennessee Lottery, which, since 2004 has raised more than $800 million for students continuing their education at the college level.
Instead of starting a new thread every time a new co-sponsor signs on, we will just post on this thread to keep everyone updated. Hope that is okay!
Congressman Jim Moran [VA-8] became the 40th co-sponsor of Barney Frank’s bill H.R.2046, the Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act( IGREA), bringing the total to 41, including Frank.
Coming right along….
