What will GAMBLING in Philadelphia mean for we the people?

With the recent legalization of gambling in Pennsylvania there are plans to build gambling parlors along Columbus Boulevard in our neighborhood.

The traffic in our neighborhood, especially on weekends, is already congested because of the new shopping center at Columbus and Snyder that house major stores such as Ikea and Best Buy. The addition of these parlors will only serve to increase the gridlock in our backyard!

Please help us block the construction of gambling facilities in our neighborhood. Take a moment to sign our secure on-line petition to let developers know where we stand!

Note: Even if you live in Whitman or Queens Village you can still sign our petition! We want YOU to be heard along with us!
