So tonight as those of us who are lucky enough to hug our kids a little closer, are thinking about the families who arent so fortunate, id ask the American People to think about how they can get our government to change these laws.

In the absence of federal action on this issue, nevada must continue to lead. The nevada gaming control board will bring legislation to eliminate nevadas statutory barriers to interstate online poker and ask for authority to enter into interstate agreements. Nevada has always been the Gold Standard of both gaming regulation and operation, and i intend to see to it that our state will lead the world into this new frontier. [applause] other states are moving quickly on this issue, and i respectfully ask the legislature to pass a bill within 30 days. The promise of these ideas is real. The chance to innovate is exciting.
