Could These Infographics Deliver the Death Blow to the Casino Proposal?

Could These Infographics Deliver the Death Blow to the Casino Proposal? Dear Friends and Neighbors: With your support, we exceeded our fundraising goal of $10K in just 10 days. Your support then and after made a huge difference, enabling us to print and deliver enough newspapers for every registered voter in Eastie; to order signs and materials for standouts; to pay an organizer; and more. Today, a new poll shows our efforts are making a huge difference. We are winning in this new poll, but the margin is close. Our friends at Repeal the Casino Deal (working to get a casino question on the ballot in 2014) are working to make sure that even if we defeat the casino at the polls, no developer tries to put a casino in our backyard ever again. In order to ensure we win this thing, however, we have to increase our effort in the final push -- just as we know Suffolk Downs will. We need to do more outreach and need to make sure every ally of ours votes on election day. In the end, the only votes that count are those made by people who make the effort to go to the polls (or send in an absentee ballot) on election day. Two issues important to undecided voters are jobs and traffic. This week, we released online two infographics (to great fanfare!) that clearly show the ways that Suffolk Downs' casino plan falls short in both of these areas. Here they are: We want to get these infographics out by mail to even more of our neighbors prior to the vote, but WE NEED TO RAISE A LITTLE MORE MONEY to do so. In this spirit, we are launching a $5K in 5 Days Challenge. If you haven't given yet, this is your chance. If you have, please consider giving one more time to help get these important graphics to our neighbors and help us win on Tuesday. It kicked off yesterday. We will give you daily updates again. (the first one is below) Together, we will win this fight! Thank you for your support! Justin and Steve p.s. Don't forget, your contribution of your time is desperately needed as well. Drop by Our Saviour's Lutheran Church (28 Paris St., Maverick Sq) volunteer during the day or in the evenings -- we need all the help we can get! Fundraising Update from Yesterday: Amount raised yesterday: $845 Total raised in campaign: $845 % of goal at day 1/5: 17% (we're well on our way!) Thank YOU for helping us raise $5,000 in 5 days to help us win on Tuesday and keep Eastie great for families!       No Eastie Casino | 256 Marginal Street | East Boston | MA | 02128
