Gettysburg Battlefield Threatened

This post is a simple yet earnest plea for your needed help. As you read this, developers continue in their efforts to obtain approval to build a casino just outside of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. This blatant attempt to exploit this hallowed ground, the honor of the Gettysburg name, and the memory of those who struggled on those fields should not be considered for a moment much less permitted. During those three hot days in July of 1863, ten thousand men died. Thirty thousand lived but would no longer be whole. The deeds of over one hundred and fifty thousand men propelled our country irrevocably towards "a new birth of freedom" and helped to crystallize the shape of this nation. This should never be forgotten or trivialized.

Please, let your voice be heard about the importance of preserving our shared past. Write to or call those who must listen. If you live in Pennsylvania, have visited Gettysburg, plan to visit Gettysburg, or care about our shared heritage and past, please contact your Representatives, Senators, and government officials. Should you find yourself visiting Gettysburg, let the business owners know of the importance you place on saving these grounds from exploitation and the irreparable harm a casino would cause. Please help preserve the Gettysburg Battlefield as an eternal memorial to the tens of thousands who fought, bled, and died there.
