It was a sad day when the Republicans slipped an online gambling ban into a bill on port security (of all things!) last year. The legislation was never designed to serve any public interest - only to protect gambling monopolies of a few rich, Republican-oriented businesses (such as horse-race betting, which was curiously exempted from the ban).
Well, now poker players are making their voices heard at both the grassroots and lobbying level, and thanks to liberal heavyweights like Barney Frank and Al D'Amato we'll hopefully see this ban reversed before too long. The gears are already in motion.
