From Eric Dondero:

Congressman John Campbell has often been on the libertarian radar, but never highlighted as one of the top libertarian Republicans. With this new piece of legislation, his standing in the LR community may rise greatly.

From SF Gate, "Online gambling could be California revenue source"

In Washington next month, self-described "libertarian-leaning Republican" Rep. John Campbell of Newport Beach (Orange County) will join Massachusetts Democratic Rep. Barney Frank to introduce a bill that would lift federal restrictions to online gambling.

It will be similar to a measure that the Democratic-controlled House Finance Committee passed 41-22 last year with seven Republican votes.

Campbell remains optimistic, even though the House is now controlled by his fellow Republicans. He could attract Tea Party support describing it as "freedom issue" and as a matter of consumer protection.

"I don't think this is something we should be banning or making illegal," Campbell said. "Americans want to gamble online and they're doing it now in droves, but they're using offshore sites that don't provide anything for the economy of the United States and don't provide any protections for these people who are gambling."
