On the .ning site and both NCG sites. So, the original bill isn't getting the support they hoped, so they add an amendment in an attempt to emotionally blackmail the legislators. Also love the inference that all 36,000 members of Preservation PA also support this amendment. These people make me want to vomit.

Pass this Bill! Casino-Free Buffer around Flight 93 and Gettysburg

We want permanent protection from
casinos around the Gettysburg National Military Park, and now we have an
opportunity to get it. Rep. Paul Clymer, (R-Bucks) has introduced an amendment
to HB2005 that will create a 10-mile buffer zone for new casino construction around
two of the Commonwealth’s most sacred symbols of our nation’s fight for freedom
– Gettysburg National Military Park and the Flight 93 National Memorial in
Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
The Amendment to Defend Honor is
A05962. It’s commonly referred to as the “Clymer Amendment to HB 2005.”
On Nov 2
Preservation PA sent a letter to every member of the PA House of
Representatives, stating in part:
On behalf of Preservation
Pennsylvania, a coalition of leading national and local preservation groups
including the Civil War Trust, the National Trust for Historic Preservation,
the National Parks Conservation Association, No Casino Gettysburg and our
collective 36,000 Pennsylvania supporters, I am writing to you in support of
Rep. Paul Clymer’s amendment to House Bill 2005 …
In his dedication speech at the
Flight 93 National Memorial, President George W. Bush rightfully pointed out
that the heroes of that day, in their courageous struggle, are heirs to the
legacy of sacrifice for freedom made at Gettysburg, saying, “We’ll pay tribute to the courage they
showed, the sacrifice they made, and the lives they spared. The United States
will never forget.”
Please let
your PA legislators know that you want Gettysburg and Shanksville protected as
sacred sites. The earliest this will come to a vote is likely Nov 14. Most
legislators are in their home district the week of Nov 7, so you can call them
or talk to them there.
Please contact your legislator and
ask them to vote YES on the Clymer Amendment to HB 2005 – the Amendment to
Defend Honor.
One more thing: Please contact
2 relatives or friends who live in Pennsylvania and ask them to call their rep.
If we could get a call or two in every district we’d be in GREAT shape to get
this through the House of Representatives.
