Bluegrass Institute Cries Censorship

The Bluegrass Group is a libertarian group that was designed to promote the ideas of the nation’s founding fathers. The group, according to Jim Walters, their Director of Policy and Communications, says the organization favored "limited government, personal responsibility, and economic prosperity. We also conduct research on policy issues and are working to market our ideas and solutions.”

This time around they are crying censorship in response to Governor Steve Beshear’s attempt to take on the online casinos. Walters says that Beshear’s attempts to seize the internet domain names of the online casinos are an act of censorship. They say that this is going to have far reaching consequences if someone does not stop him.

They are holding a forum to discuss the turn of events, and will be talking about internet freedom and technological innovation. They say that if the state of Kentucky is allowed this sort of power the rest of the internet is not safe either.

They take exception to the attacking of online casinos when horse racing and lotteries are still allowed to run online. This is one of the things that are hurting the US in their fight to keep online casinos illegal. They are not alone in their concerns. There are other groups worried about the ramifications that something like this could have on the country and internationally.
