Whereas  gambling of all types is becoming  more and more a part of the American scene as gambling interests continuously bring pressure upon our legislative bodies for legislation, and

Whereas  gambling is destructive of the human personality and is addictive as alcohol or drugs, disrupting family life and promoting a philosophy of getting something for nothing,

Be it Therefore Resolved, that the members of our churches be encouraged to write to their legislative officials, state and federal, registering their opposition to legalized gambling.
