| Message | We are strongly against this bill for the same reasons as before - it will have devastating social consequences for the most vulnerable people in our society and has the potential to destroy the lives and financial situation of anyone who becomes addicted. As socialists we don't want to live in a society where the greedy capitalists in charge of the gambling industry are free to profiteer from the misery of working people. |

| Message | We would like to remind you that gambling preys on the weak-willed. It allows people to gain or lose money through no merit or fault of their own. Gambling is not only random and inequitable, but it is also highly addictive and has ruined thousands of lives. Please vote against this bill. |
