I didn't want to make a big post out of this happy birthday card for CasinoFacts. The posting honor goes to the Belicose Bumpkin who started this anti-casino revolution.
So, I'd like to personally thank him and his two cohorts who sat around a kitchen table one evening bravely standing up for their community by creating this organization. While I'm at it, I'd like to thank their like-minded friends and their neighbors - one of whom is an old friend from who asked me to come to Middleboro last April (or was it May?) to see for myself what was going on.
So... now that my life is ruined...
Just kidding!
Thank you CFO founders for having the courage to do it, to stand by it, and to stand by US...
Congratulations on all you have accomplished in only one year. You have much to be proud of.
Thank you Gladys and of course to all of the hard working board members, and other bloggers who make up the family of those who stand up for each other.
You are the "citizen soliders" .. informing, educating, advocating, and refusing to be steam rolled...
When I first heard about land in Middleboro being sold to build a casino, I was scared. I don't live in Middleboro but I know the problems a casino creates aren't going to stop short at the town border. So I went down to a meeting at the town hall where an attorney, an expert in tribal law, was telling everybody that it was all over. Give up. Sign on the dotted line. Then I got really scared. So I got on the Internet and read all about the effects Indian gambling casinos have on surrounding communities. Then I was downright terrified.
I became the first non-resident member of CasinoFacts.org, a grassroots organization formed by Middleboro residents who felt the same as I did.
Some of what I've heard and seen while fighting a casino is pretty hard to believe. But then no one believed Gladys Kravitz, either.
WANTED!
Gladys needs your multimedia. Send me your video, audio, photos, even cell-phone photos. Anything and everything pertaining to this proposed casino. Send them to: gladys@casinofacts.orgThanks!

Well done and beautifully understated. Thanks for being there with us. Nothing said it like Gladys! No wonder the pros are so angry!
