President Bush Signs SAFE Port ActWith little fan fare, and absolutely no mention of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA), President George W. Bush signed the SAFE Port Act into law at 10:00 EST on Friday, October 13. In an eight minute ceremony in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, Bush made it illegal for financial institutions to process transactions to and from online gambling companies. The law does not criminalize individual citizens if they play poker online, nor does it make online gambling illegal in states where it already was not. What it attempts to do, although many think it will be unenforceable, is cut off funds flowing out of the U.S. and into the online gambling sites.

Hope one day democracy and freedome will win!
