Why do people keep calling for a vote on electronic bingo? We have voted for this at least three times since 1979.The last time was when Bob Reilly was in his second term. Every time we vote, the result is that the majority of the people don't want any kind of gambling in Alabama. 

Special elections as the last one cost the state millions of dollars. Alabama cannot afford to keep voting on this issue. It's not racist, as some of our black legislators are screaming. It's a matter of morals and our state economy.

Christian's "follow" the biblical teachings that "gambling is a sin." Why are our black leaders pulling the race card? Are they really Christian, or have they all fallen to the reality that "it's all about the money?" Please stop wasting our money.
