Help Save the PA Lottery: It will no longer benefit senior citizens and the disabled

Help Save the PA Lottery   Pennsylvanians have good cause to worry about Gov. Tom Corbett's plan to privatize management of the Pennsylvania Lottery. Months of secret negotiations between Corbett's privatization consultant and the sole bidder on the project is cause alone to scrap this scheme before it goes one step further. Corbett's consultant stands to gain some $30 million or more if the deal goes through. The sole foreign-based company that wants to take over our successful lottery is setting up shop in Delaware (tax loopholes) instead of Pennsylvania. The most important cause for alarm, though, is that this plan devoid of public hearings and legislative oversight threatens to weaken the senior citizen programs our lottery funds. Every single dollar diverted from PA Lottery profits to a for-profit management company is a dollar taken from our elderly. Corbett's proposal must be signed by all parties by Dec. 31 – one day before the legislature convenes for the 2013-14 session. Help us stop this dangerous and irresponsible scheme before it's too late. Contact Gov. Tom Corbett. Tell him and lawmakers to abandon all plans to privatize this critical state asset. Take action now!

Personal Liberty Digest

Latest From Brandon Smith December 18, 2012 Global Economic Slowdown Signals Sad New Year » The only advantage of a long, drawn-out disintegration of the overall economic system is that as the years pass, it becomes possible to discover a pattern through which we can gauge where we really stand today and will stand tomorrow. Unfortunately, the pattern suggests the next year will be dismal. More » Outside The Asylum Angels Among Us » What happened Friday at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., doesn’t lend itself to easy expression. After all, the massacre which stole away the lives of 27 people, including 20 children, so exceeds the capacity of mere words that even remarks like “words fail me” seem trite and clichéd. More » Voices No Time To Disarm America » In the wake of the shooting at a Connecticut elementary school, the opinions have begun following in from both sides of the gun control debate. The debate is sure to become increasingly fallacious and nasty in coming months as people on both sides make ridiculous claims to support their case. More » Personal Liberty News Let Me See Your Papers » Residents of the Arkansas town of Paragould — population barely 25,000 — will soon begin noticing a constant presence of militarized police patrolling the streets and asking to see pedestrians’ papers. More » Ex-Police Chief Dies After Stun Gun Shock » A former Pennsylvania police chief died after being shocked with a stun gun following a fight at a casino and a short police chase. State troopers said the investigation into the death was ongoing, but was being considered a result of natural causes. More » Grief Even More Difficult During Holidays » A U.S. grief expert says handling the unexpected death of a loved one is always difficult, but it is extra hard during a holiday. More » Health Tips The Drug Factor As the gun grabbers jerk knees over the school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, one topic of discussion is strangely missing from the accounts in the mainstream media: the drug factor. Shooter Adam Lanza was notably and noticeably “different.” News reports have former classmates and teachers describing him as a ghost, an autistic genius, deeply disturbed, withdrawn and shy. During Lanza’s freshman year of high school, Newtown school officials were so concerned about him that they assigned him a permanent psychologist and flagged him to the school’s security chief. Lanza was described by school officials as one “very much in need of watching” — not because they saw in him a potential to harm others, but to harm himself. More »
