PLEASE SUPPORT LOCAL, SMALL BUSINESSES.

SIGN THE PETITION TO STOP INTERNET GAMBLING!

Internet Gambling is a major threat to over 8200 local small business throughout Illinois. Please send a message to lawmakers to protect your neighborhood taverns, restaurants, veteran, and fraternal clubs and vote NO on Internet Gambling!

If Internet Gambling is legalized, many current patrons would be lured away from local taverns, restaurants, veteran, and fraternal clubs and instead play their favorite VGT games on their cell phones or computers, just to bolster the profits of online gambling companies. Internet Gambling will mean fewer patrons at local small businesses, and undoubtedly, result in lower revenue from food and beverage sales, in addition to video gaming. Please sign the petition and let your voice be heard!
