Those of us involved with opposition to Predatory Gambling have suffered from media silence and censorship too often. Local papers fail to print letters proclaiming the FACTS, stating accurate statistics about the increased crime the Gambling Industry denies - it's all too common!
The media has lost its journalistic ethics.

The
Press Democrat recently printed Wilfred Avenue-area resident Pam Miller's Letter
to the Editor, but the left out the last two sentences. 
Here's the letter Pam wrote,
including the last two sentences.
You figure out why the PD's
Editors cut them!
"Dear Editor,
"Your paper
paints a rosy picture of how the new Graton Casino is bringing Rohnert Park back
from the brink of disaster. I'd like to share some of the other new realities
of being a neighbor of Rohnert Park's saving grace.
"While Tribal
Chairman Greg Sarris resides high above his newly created magnet for
questionable activity, the neighborhoods immediately surrounding the casino must
now deal with the traffic, sirens, hookers, thugs, and thieves who have
arrived.
"Promises of support and street closures from our elected
officials go unfulfilled as the temporary street closure signs lay toppled over
in drainage ditches or people simply drive around them. Imagine watching
strangers slowly driving up and down your street peering into every driveway.
As usual, we will have to wait until after we have a long list of disastrous
events to report before any elected official will actually follow through with
any assistance.
"The Press Democrat needs to do a better job of balanced
reporting. Otherwise, is just looks like the former lobbyist for the tribe owns
the local newspaper.
"Pamela A. Miller"
