More on the Folks Behind Question 3: Carey Theil Gambling with Peoples Lives

I have intended on posting some information on the husband of Christine Dorchak, Mr. Carey Theil (pronounced like the color TEAL) but I have been quite busy pounding the pavement handing out genuine and verifiable information concerning Question 3 and dog racing in Massachusetts. I was doing some research this evening and came across the following which says just about everything I would like to say. I would really like to give this writer the credit he or she is due, but alas, I found this posted as a comment to another article. If this is your work, and you would like to be credited, please email me magiczambia@yahoo.com and I will gladly do so.

From the November 6, 2000 Boston Herald column by Joe Fitzgerald - '...you should be equally appalled by the efforts of a group called Grey2K to wage a ruthless campaign of deceit, distortion and defamation of character. Radical animal rights activists are determined to kill the greyhound racing industry in this state by any means necessary, which is why they weren't the least bit embarrassed when forced to admit that much of their advertising has been fraudulent. So if you go to the polls only to vote No on Question 3, you will have made a compelling statement, rejecting this attempt to ambush an industry through the dissemination of lies.'

If dog racing was 'cruel', the M$PCA would have shut it down decades ago. They haven't. The injury rate is a statistical charade, playing Little League is far more dangerous statistically.

Carey Theil, G$K's messiah, sits on the board of the National Coalition Against Legalized Gambling, google it. He doesn't care about dogs, he cares about banning gambling. When in Florida this spring, he, as a registered Florida lobbyist, lobbied against the Florida slots bill. Yet he couldn't find the time to lobby for SB 590 right down the hall. SB 590 would have given Florida greyhounds some of the protections the MA dogs enjoy here. Protect the dogs? Not a chance, that's not the plan.

G$K's Christine Dorchak was forced to adopt a greyhound to make it look good. Did she adopt a greyhound from her home state of MA? No, she adopted a dog from Kansas. Where's the concern for the MA dogs with that act? That's not the plan.

The money G$K has spent recently on their TV ads would have SOLVED the financial problems of the greyhound adoption groups NATIONWIDE. Yet, G$K has never purchased a can of dog food for a retired hound in an adoption group. That's not their plan. Saving and protecting dogs is not part of their plan.

In case no one has noticed, we're creeping into a recession. The State is going broke. What will the State do if Q3 passes and those millions of dollars annually from the tracks are stripped from the balance sheet? Will they rebalance their budget or raise your taxes to make up for the deficit?

And what of 1000 people who will be employed if Q3 passes?. These are primarily older people, 40-60 years old with no other job skills. Yet they have mortgages to pay, children and grandchildren they are trying to support with higher education. You cannot re-train these people, this is all they know. And they stand to be homeless.

Question 3 is a tax increase that not only puts more people out of work and falsely claims cruelty unsubstantiated by the MSPCA, but is also sponsored by animal extremists whose leader nationally supports the banning of all gambling.

The smart money is betting NO on Question 3
