"The Casino Free Philadelphia movement is not anti-casino as much as it is pro- people, pro-Philadelphia. It is very fitting that this forum is being held here at St. Paul's Church where, in cooperation with Our Mother of Consolation Church and the Interfaith Hospitality Network, homeless families are being housed right now- because casinos abet gambling addictions which can lead to homelessness. We, as neighbors here in Chestnut Hill, have the right to say "Not in my back yard" when it comes to casinos, to be 'NIMBYs'. Irv Ackelesberg needs to be mentioned because he helped defend the rights of neighbors in East Falls from having a casino plop down in their midst. Perhaps other neighborhoods, or ALL neighborhoods can be 'NIMBYs' too when it comes to casinos"
