    "Send an email to the Obama Transition team and tell President-elect Obama that once in office he should immediately turn back the UIGEA and other "midnight rules" issued by President Bush."

    I know all US players should email Obama.

    I don't think it would hurt for non-US players to email Obama and tell him how much poker helps people of different nations get to know each other. Tell your non-US friends to help too!!! Get them to email Obama too.

    Hi Holdem Eagle, do you happen to know what that email address is, or how to obtain it?
    I have sent emails to my congressman and would like to go one step further. Thanks.

    The website to contact Obama is: http://change.gov/page/s/contact

    You should also contact your congressmen as I did. To get their contact info you can go here:

    This is very bad news that Bush has screwed us like this, but wth, he has been screwing us for 8 years now, we should be used to it. Bastard, and I swear some people here at the PPA wanted the Republicans to win. LOL

    My question is what does this really mean for the US player. The law is directed towards the banks processing deposits and withdraws. Will we still be able to play on the money we have or will we be forced to cash out and be banned from playing online all together. The law is very unclear on every aspect on what is allowed and what is not.

    It appears the law relates to deposits only. I took a look at the document from the Fed that is posted on the PPA home page, on the bottom of page 23 it specifically states the law refers to deposits into onlime gaming sites & not funds coming from online gaming sites. At least from what I can tell, that's what it is saying.

  7. I have sent a e-mail to Pres. Elect Obama (via the link above) asking to put a halt to Bush's last minute midnite shenanigans before he gets his butt sent packing from the White House. To bad its 8 yrs to late.
