I do think Arkansas needs casinos, but Nancy Todd will not bring in what everyone knows as a casino. She wants to bring in these "poker palaces", which are not like a typical casino. And actually, there a lot of the people associated with Oaklawn that are not against casinos in the state, they just dont want the law to repeal the law allowing them to have the "games of skill". All I ask is that if this is allowed on the ballot, people do yourself a favor. Research Nancy Todd's other ventures in casino management. They are not good.

Oakland and Southland YOU are the monopoly! My signature is valid. Win or lose I want my right to vote on it. State nor your group,s has a right to tell me what to vote for. Rules were followed so let it be.
