Dear Friend,
We’re pleased to share that legalization of casinos and
video lottery terminals is no longer a threat to funding for pregnancy
care centers or Universal Opportunity Scholarships in the
budget!
We’re grateful to those brave lawmakers who stood
against predatory gambling. When we heard what was happening,
our team issued a letter laying out our concerns and urging our
representatives not to support casinos and video lottery terminals.
Predatory gambling erodes the social fabric of communities and hurts
families, especially the poor. It would create a cesspool of debt,
crime, addiction, drunk driving, human trafficking, and family
breakdown across our beautiful state.
We’re also grateful for your help and
prayers! After we asked you to contact legislators and
voice your opposition to holding the budget hostage just to legalize
casino cesspools and video lottery terminals, you responded! We have
been hearing from legislators who are personally grateful for your
voice.
We will continue to advocate for legislation to protect North
Carolina values, and against legislation which will have devastating
consequences on the family.
If you support the work we're doing protecting the
all-important sacred institution of the family, would you consider making a needed
one-time or monthly donation towards our work in North
Carolina?
Sincerely,
Tami & Team, NC Values
