14th, 2006 - Mainstream Press Drops the Ball Again
Last week in our webcast we reported on a story which originally broke in
November about a gambling ring that was arrested in Florida. The Miami Herald
reported that the people involved in this arrest were "online gambling
masterminds" and that they ran "online gambling sites".
Sorry, but bulls--t.

30th, 2006 - Thailand Takes Measures to Protect Children from
Gambling

13th, 2006 - Bush Signs Gambling Ban: Iraq and North Korea can
wait...
In a mad dash to salvage a few percentage points for himself in the polls,
Bush put his "X" on a Port Security Bill riddled with holes and
padded with self-serving special interests. Bush is so desperate to look
good at any cost --- and so headstrong about National Security at
any consequence...
October
7th, 2006 - APCW Launches Aggressive Public Awareness Video Campaign
