Opposition to a proposed casino 1/2 mile from the Gettysburg NMP

A message to all members of No Casino Gettysburg Network

Friends,


We feel great!!! Thanks to you all we are in a very good position in our fight against a casino 1/2 mile from the boundary of the Gettysburg National Military Park.
The PGCB public hearing went 1.5 days but has finished.

No Casino Gettysburg's community group testimony by Susan Star Paddock was a film created and done entirely by volunteers, with locals and 8 well known individuals:

A second, 2 minute film of the Gettysburg Address is similarly moving: http://www.civilwar.org/video/the-gettysburg-address.html

The story has generated hundreds of stories nationwide. Many are posted on Facebook

Here's an editorial in the US NEWs and World Report
