Stop Predatory Gambling

One of the undeniable truths about predatory gambling

by spgadmin

Our growing movement to stop predatory gambling is the most diverse social movement in America. The reason for our opposition is not based on partisanship: we are non-partisan and our movement is made up of people whose views span the political spectrum as well as nearly every faith community.  It consists of concerned citizens from every region in America and from nearly every walk of life.
