Massachusetts is the most progressive state in the union.

 The progressive movement has been able to push forward and elect strong candidates that have improved the standard of living for every citizen in the Commonwealth. Allowing Steve Wynn to build a casino here is like letting a fox into the chicken coop.  It is a losing bet for the progressive movement and all progressive causes.  The first thing that will happen is that Libertarian and Republican candidates will have no trouble getting funding for their campaigns.   Previously unknown special interest groups will appear to push for ballot initiatives and referendums to roll back progressive legislation.  Any new ideas will face overwhelming resistance and Steve Wynn will appear on the nightly news to denigrate the cause as “bad for business.” Any elected official that does not do what Wynn wants will face a well-funded challenger in the next election cycle.   Massachusetts will begin a race to the bottom to attract the types of business we do not want.

All Progressives need to stand together and send a very clear message to our elected officials and the State Gaming Board: “No way is Steve Wynn building a casino in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts!”  If you agree with this, please do the following three things right away:

1.            Contact
