Issue 3 Update
Written: 10/8/2009
Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to make sure Issue 3 is defeated this November. Now is time to make sure we are communicating with people we know and our congregations to insure others know why Gambling and Issue 3 is bad for Ohio.
We've created a two-sided bulletin insert for your churches. The first side provides facts as to why gambling is bad. The second side reveals why the language in Issue 3 is a bad deal for Ohio, its communities and its families.
Here is what we would like for you
to do:
- Continue to pray for our efforts.
- Ask your congregation to include this bulletin insert.
- Use this information to share with your friends, family, coworkers and neighbors.
- God calls us to actively care for our neighbors, both near and far.
Please know that I give thanks for you and hold you in my prayers. We will also ask you at that time to write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper. Remember---never underestimate the impact your voice and witness can have in your community and across the state.
You can download the bulletin insert and find other important information here: Vote No on Issue #3.
