AFA of PA ACTION ALERT
August 18, 2009
Issues:
1.) Governor Continues Pushing for Gambling Expansion
2.) President Obama Files for Revocation of Defense of Marriage Act
Details:
1.) Even as the budget impasse continues into its seventh week Governor Ed Rendell continues demanding gambling expansion be a part of the final bill. He wants table games in all Pennsylvania casinos and video poker machines in local bars and restaurants. This past Friday the Pennsylvania House heard hours of testimony in favor of gambling expansion from casino CEOs and gambling lobbyists. But some how they neglected to invite even one to testify in opposition to gambling expansion!
2.) Late yesterday President Obama’s Justice Department filed legal paperwork challenging the federal Defense of Marriage Act. (DOMA). Click here to read the AFA of PA news release issued earlier today for more details.
Action Steps:
1.) If you don’t think gambling expansion is a good idea for Pennsylvania, please contact your State Senator and State Representative and ask them to oppose any attempt to expand gambling. Click here and key in your zip code in the upper right hand corner for contact information.
2.) If the federal Defense of Marriage Act is revoked, every state in the union will be required to legalize same-sex marriage – even those 30 that have passed Marriage Protection Amendments! If this concerns you, please contact President Obama, Senators Specter and Casey and your Congressman. Since there has been some controversy about the White House sending unsolicited e-mails defending the health ‘care’ bill, perhaps calling the Comment Line would be better than an e-mail. It is 202-456-1111.
