Who is Gladys?
My name is Mary Tufts, and I live in Bridgewater, Massachusetts.
In early 2007 I first heard about land right down the street in Middleboro being sold to build a casino, and knew the problems a casino would create weren't going to stop short at the town border.
Aside from voting, I'd never participated in government, so I didn't know what to expect when I went to Middleboro town hall to sit in on an informational meeting about the casino - but I didn't expect to hear an attorney, who claimed to be an expert in tribal law, telling everyone that it was all over. To give up and sign on the dotted line.
That didn't seem right to me. It didn't even seem American to me.
I heard a lot of pros and cons of expanded gambling that night, and over the next few years, but most of the things I learned scared me. Witnessing the process scared me more. So I guess I just decided to stop being scared, and start fighting.
I met a lot of fantastic (and not so fantastic) people along the way, and became part of grassroots movement to preserve quality of life, kick corporate influence out of politics, and rid government of it's gambling addiction.

WOW, that is a really powerful argument against allowing casinos in your state!!!!
Loved the "Ca Ching" Murray montage!
Great job, Gladys!
Thanks Gladys,
This is the most disturbing part of the casino issue. We have a state and local educational system that is actively promoting gambling as a way of supporting education.
I am embarassed to live in Massachusetts.
Gladys, an even more powerful ending that last year!
Absolutely fabulous!
I hope all the grown ups out there are listening!
If you think about how greed got us into the economic mess we are in, why would you think an industry that survives on greed will get us out?
We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we
created them. -Albert Einstein, physicist, Nobel laureate (1879-1955)
The public response to the MBTA train crash defines the waste and poor management in state govt. If I were a betting person, I'd bet that the 'conductor' who was text messaging at the time of the crash is a friend who got the job as a political favor.
If the hackery was cut out and the state put on a 4 day work week, we would have no budget problem.
We don't need expanded gambling if cuts are made.
Excellent!! Keep up the great work.
Gladys,
I hope that this video is seen by as many people as possible.Making casino gambling legal to raise needed revenue for our state is short sighted and truly DOES send the WRONG message to the most vulnerable in our state.In bad economic times,casino revenue drops--do we really want to depend on such an undependable source???
DO NOT SUPPORT CASINO GAMBLING
DYNAMITE!
I agree with No Casino.That those who are educating my children support this is unconscionable.
Gladys,
This was upsetting when you created it and its even more so now as more evidence pours in and the legislature becomes more desperite.
That was really good – I wasn’t expecting to see what horrible creatures the kids turned into in the end.
I was pleased to see your recent video promoted on a democratic discussion forum! Good work!
I know you have been busy doing other things, Gladys, but I'm just thinking that the state is so desparate for money, we could use your words of encouragement.
