Gambling Compact near?

Gambling Compact near?

According to  reliable local sources, the Graton Rancheria may have already negotiated a gambling compact with Governor Brown. 

Governor Brown seems intent on granting compacts to any tribe who asks; he is even approving compacts for off-reservation casinos!

Any compact the FIGR may have negotiated with the Governor MUST go to the state legislature for a full vote.  This is where you can really shine:  Call or write your state legislators NOW and tell them NO COMPACT FOR GRATON RANCHERIA!! 

This link will take you to the State of California web site where you can find your legislators' names and contact information. 

Constituents of Jared Huffman, please click here .

Or contact the governor directly.

REMEMBER:  you can always email your message to STC101 and we will fax it for you.  Remember to include your address, so that we can get it to the correct state official.
The smartest guys NOT in the room 

"...(G)ambling operators often say their business is no different than "drinking wine, going out to dinner or going to the movies."  

 

"Yet the owner of the vineyard drinks the wine he makes. The owner of the restaurant eats the food he serves. The movie actress watches the movies she makes.  

 

"...(G)ambling is the only "product" or "service" where most of the people who own it and promote it, don't use it and don't want to live near it. " 

 

 So who are these smart guys?  People like Harrah's CEO Gary Loveman, real estate and casino magnate Donald Trump, international casino owner Steve Wynn (who was born and raised in Las Vegas), and billionaire Macau casino developer Stanley Ho, to name just a few.

 

Read the article to find why the biggest names in the gambling industry think gambling is for chumps. 

Inaction is just as effective as action  

It's true. By not doing something, you can effect a result.    

 

Only it may not be the result you want.

 

If you are opposed to the Graton Rancheria casino project and do nothing, you increase the chances for the casino to be built.  Not the result you want. 

 

Our elected officials will only listen to the people making the most noise, and that had better be us.   

 

And STC101, the organization that has carried on the fight and kept this monstrosity at bay for eight years, cannot go to court if you don't give us money to pay the lawyers.

 

So do nothing, and get a casino.   

 

Or make a phone call and send us a few bucks, and stop the casino.

 

It's that's simple.
