Only one week after a historic US election which resulted in Obama’s win and the recent WSOP 2008 winner celebrations the current Bush Administration is rushing to finalize several last minute “midnight rules” before they depart the oval office. The old Bush administration has once again targeted the UIGEA (Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act), using the same old sneak tactics similar to the original UIGEA legislation drafted in 2006, once again the reckless rule making is in effect as the ousted party are planning a last minute effort to make poker illegal in the USA by declaring online poker illegal by preventing US banks from processing any transactions from any online poker sites. If you are a US citizen, this is your chance to protect your freedom of choice and rights before this law is passed into effect forever leaving the new Obama administration no access to change the law.
