Friends and Colleagues – I am grateful for
the contributions many of you have made to our effort to REPEAL the CASINO DEAL.
As you may have read, we filed our Brief Friday, March 21, in the SJC. (See our
website below.)
With the recent polls trending in our
direction, the quality of our legal team, and the statewide citizen-led grass
roots effort, we feel very good about the upcoming challenges, but we need your
continued support -- and that of all those you can contact on our behalf -- now
more than ever. (Here is link
to our website –for information and for donations.)
Thank you, my friends.

| “We respect the Attorney General but,
respectfully, she got this wrong.” The Repeal the Casino Deal campaign is seeking a ruling from the state's highest court to allow Massachusetts voters to decide whether to roll back the state casino law, despite an opinion from state Attorney General Martha Coakley that the repeal question is unconstitutional. Casino foes file court papers aimed at repeal To view the brief in it's entirety click here RTCD legal brief Former AG Scott Harshargar stated, “The hurdle is rightly high to deny the people a right to vote. In this case, the proposed question is reasonable, it is well drafted, timely filed and constitutional. Beyond that, we have secured enough signatures and, now, the public is clearly starting to lean against the industry. It’s time to right the balance and let democracy win out.” “The public is clearly moving toward support for a full repeal of this casino law and the industry is rightly getting nervous that our grassroots effort is taking flight and the industry’s promises are proving to be empty, as we predicted,” said John Ribeiro, chairman of the casino repeal campaign. “We always knew the AG was wrong to deny this question – now we know we have the legal arguments to prove it.” Support sustaining the effort to repeal the casino deal by donating now Donate Onward, Paul, John, Kathleen, Steve, Kris and the RTCD team Please like our Facebook page Repeal the Casino Deal |
