- 「在美國，地方政府官員、市長，甚至是州長（伊利諾州、
路易斯安納州）接受賭博業者的賄賂，已經成為大問題」。 - 「在立法部門在表決贊成賭博合法化之前，
應該要提撥經費去做一個全面且客觀的成本效益分析」。 - 「當賭場營業後，會導致地方稅收減少，

| Dr Timothy A. Kelly, Executive Director of the US National Gambling Impact Study Commission, has been invited to talk about recent developments in Western tourist casinos Includes petition from overseas anti-gambling organisations and more than ten NGOs requesting the new government to take a careful look at the referendum on gambling in Penghu. Don't let Ma Ying-jeou become the first "gambling president" in Taiwan's history. |
- In the USA local government officials, mayors and even state governors (Illinois and Louisiana) have received bribes from the gambling industry creating a huge problem.
- Before the Legislature votes on the legalisation of gambling they must allocate funds for a comprehensive and objective cost-benefit analysis.
- After casinos start operating local tax revenues decline and some local businesses fail.
- The quality of jobs provided by casinos is on average not great.
Professional and objective analysis of gambling tourism at the 915 anti-gambling press conference will make it clear to the whole nation. The Anti-gambling Alliance will tell everyone the facts the government doesn't want people to know about gambling. The incompetent government can't use beautiful Penghu and our children's future like a rat in a laboratory experiment.
