I read many blogs yesterday from people in PPA stating that president bush may take executive order to make it even tougher for us to play online poker. Well, here's an article from Washington post this morning that puts more light on this situation. Apparently a guy from NFL working in the White house is behind the latest push. In a nutshell this is all about NFL protecting their fantacy football business. Here's the link to the article if you wish to read it.

We aren't a Democracy by the way. The U.S is a Representative Republic.
We need to telephone our Representatives again, again, and again, until they get good and sick of hearing from us.
The NFL provides statistics, logos and player information to fantasy leagues that pay substantial royalty fees, industry sources say. It backed the exemption on grounds that fantasy football is a game of skill, not chance.
