Stop Predatory Gambling

We Can Do It

by spgadmin

America was once a country that ran public campaigns using now classic images like Rosie the Riveter, with her biceps flexed declaring “We can do it” – an icon symbolizing a generation of people we now call “the Greatest Generation.

As a people, we have lost much of that “We can do it” swagger. No issue better reflects this change in attitude than the government program of predatory gambling.

But Americans everywhere are doing their very best to bring the swagger back by working to stop the government program of predatory gambling in their community and state. Just yesterday, casino operator Steve Wynn pulled out of his deal to build a casino in Philadelphia, due in part to strong opposition from the citizen–led Casino Free Philadelphia and their coalition partners like Asian Americans United.

Our democracy is broken and it is up to us to fix it. We can do it.
