Bush Rushes Last Minute Gambling Ban – SSIGI Responds

[JeffreyS]

During the last days of a lame duck presidency, administration officials are working furiously to implement regulations to enforce an ambiguous, burdensome and unworkable ban on Internet Gambling.

Here is a release from today: Bush Administration Moves to Implement Burdensome and Unworkable Prohibition on Internet Gambling (http://www.safeandsecureig.org/media/uigearegsrelease.pdf (Link Here)) We detail the inappropriate involvement of a NFL lobbyist turned political appointee in pushing the regulations despite the objections of leading financial service companies. Representatives of the Treasury Department and Federal Reserve are even on record saying the regulations are going to be difficult to enforce.

Thanks.
