3 Jaco GrobbelaarWhy are we still struggling with this issue?
4 John M DonovanI am incredibly disappointed in the way our state government has allowed tribal gaming interests and their out-of-state partners to wage a vindictive assault on community based non-profit organizations, who have relied on bingo to provide their life-blood funding. I will remember this abdication of responsibility and surrender to these thieves by our lawmakers when I visit the polls and will encourage every person I can to do the same. Please do the right thing and VETO SB1369.

11 Jeff DavisMany youth based activities will be negatively impacted by the passing of this bill. This could force them to cease operations and leave kids to thier own devices. This is a bad bill.
12 Jeff DeMelloPLEASE ... veto this bill ... it's just wrong.
13 Bret RiosThis was a travesty, demonstrating how special interests have more power than common sense and the needs of the common citizens.
14 Matthew SeltzerAfter years of experience and devotion to non-profit music programs that are supported by Bingo, I can say that I would be nothing less than devastated if Bingo in California and as a result the non-profit music programs I love were to be eliminated.
15 Sandra McTavish AdamsPlease send this back to the legislators to rewrite the bill without remote calling! It will damage charities and the state Lottery!
16 Sharold Dean AdamsPlease send this back to the legislators to rewrite the bill without remote calling! It will damage charities and the state Lottery!
17 JoEllen Abate McEntirePLEASE...veto this bill. Many youth based programs will be negatively impacted (possibly disolve) by the passing of this bill. Thank you.

19 Maurice FrontzI am very concerned about the deleterious impact on fund-raising for youth musical organizations in California, especially the twelve-time Drum Corps International World Champion Blue Devils from Concord, and the six-time DCI World Champion Vanguard from Santa Clara. These world-class organizations and other similar organizations will be severely hurt by the passage of this bill. Please veto this bill!
20 Richard ElmquistThis bill could severely cripple the ability of small charitable groups to even operate. Is the state willing to lend their support to these activities? I doubt it and this is why the bill should not pass in its present form.
21 Keith A Celsky
22 Joseph Dostie
23 Korey White
24 Gilbert Henderson, Jr
25 Brian A. RipleyPLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not allow this hastily concocted concession to Indian gaming destroy decades of good works by thousands of worthy charities.
26 Jose Martinez
27 Esther Irene Quintero-Kamp
28 James R Wunderlich
29 Bryan FlickPlease help keep California Drum Corps alive. Without fundraising from bingo these organizations would have been dead long ago.
30 Charlie Morgan
31 SuePlease do not allow this bill to be signed into law and to cripple many charities
32 Doug LubertsGovernor: I strongly urge you not to sign SB1369 into law. It will cause irreparable damage to thousands of Charities across the State, and only benefit a few groups. There is absolutely no benefit to come from this piece of legislation, other than to furthe consolidate the Tribal Gaming Interests' monopoly on Gambling in California. Please, Governor, DO NOT SIGN SB1369
33 Eric BoudreaultSome of my best memories are relied to California and drum corps, it would be a shame if it ended
34 Erik Skinner
35 David Cano
36 Tony CarinoThis bill definitely hurts more organizations than it helps!
37 Joseph Haworth
38 Grace Wayte
39 Jon SchacterI have been a member of the Concord Blue Devils, which recieves a majority of it's funding from Bingo profits, for the last 6 years and it has changed my life and made me a better person in ways nothing else could have. I would hate to see the organization with so much history collapse and thousands of future kids lose that opportunity.

44 Bob JanowskiThis is just one more example of our state legislators being fooled/pressured into approving unfair legslation. The people behind this bill want to take away a main source of income from these charities to add to their own pockets!
