Even worse, with the approval of just two politicians, any tribe could buy land anywhere and build a casino. Proposition 5 gives us no vote and no voice. The ad opens with a shot of a couple jogging along a peaceful street, pushing a child in a running stroller. Suddenly, a neon-lit casino sign erupts from the ground in front of them. More casino signs erupt, and the ad closes with a map of California incorporated into an enormous neon casino sign.
Observers watch the scene in horror.
We don't have to put up with this. Proposition 5 gives you no choice. Check it out for yourself. As with most of the advertising surrounding Proposition 5 thus far, the ad contains elements of truth but overstates its case by leaving out important information. In fact, the initiative itself has no impact on current federal rules governing where tribes can build.
