I know people who grew up in the area around Foxwoods. Little old ladies would go to gamble for the first time and lose their homes. This is a terrible idea!

This casino will negatively impact the City of Boston, along with surrounding communities, contribution to higher crime rates, along with higher gambling addictions, drug and human trafficing, alcohol addictions, pulling money out of the local economy which would adversely impact small businesses, and so much more. Please vote "NO" respecting the voters of East Boston.

The Clergy supports the Mayor's move to uphold the Casino movement. "No Casino vote"

The city of Boston has voted on the Casino issue. Please respect that vote. It has consistently been ignored throughout this process. This process has been full of waivers and political games. There should not even be a casino in Revere according to the original legislation.

Dear Mayor Walsh, The proposed casino will be in my parish if Revere gets it. Please do all that you can to prevent this tragedy. If you have read any reports on the deleterious effect that casinos have on the host cities, families and individuals within a 30-50 mile radius of a casino you know that it is the worst thing that we and our neighboring cities could have. Please read the report of the "Institute for American Values" if you havent already done so. As guardian and leader of the people in and around Boston, don't let us become another Atlantic City, Niagra, Detroit or Baltimore. Please!

I am confident that we can find ways to produce jobs and attract additional business to the Boston area that are free from the social ills which the presence of casinos always brings. Mayor Walsh, please build our communities through positive means and not through interests of the casino industry.
