: Floridians - Vote NO on Amendment 4!!!
Dear .......,
No on 4, the campaign against Amendment 4 (The Sunshine Experiment),
a ballot question to put slot machines at racetracks, is in full swing!
Grassroots activists and national animal welfare organizations are hard
at work in an effort to defeat Amendment 4 on November 2nd!
If Amendment 4 passes, slot machine expansion would create a blueprint
and a precedent for recovery and a means for propping up dying racetracks
nationwide. The fate of thousands of greyhounds would be sealed in misery
for decades to come!
With your help, we can defeat Amendment 4 and send a powerful message
to the dog racing industry that their cruelty will not be rewarded!
Carey Theil, President of Grey 2K USA, a national organization dedicated
to the protection of greyhounds nationwide, will be visiting communities in
the state of Florida to organize individuals and groups at the grassroots level
in an effort to fight the passage of Amendment 4. Grey 2K USA will be
giving out activist packets, flyers, bumper stickers and more! The meetings
are underway NOW and will be occurring over the next few days so make
plans to attend!
