Comparing Sweepstake Casinos and Online Casinos

The online gaming world introduces players to two distinct experiences; one is community-driven (the sweepstakes site, or Option #1) and the other a more traditional, wager-based option (the traditional online casino, or Option #2) that tends to be the first the comes to mind when we think of gambling.

CC Commissioners Lambaste

Eastern Regional School Supt. for Allowing Pro Palestinian Walkout During School Hours

Robert S. Cloutier Superintendent Eastern Camden County Regional School District 1401 Laurel Oak Road Voorhees, NJ 08043-4304 Dear Superintendent Cloutier, We are outraged by the decision of Eastern High School to permit a “Pro-Palestinian” walkout during school hours and call upon you to cancel this event. The student walkout is an intentional effort to create a hostile and isolating environment for Jewish students, the majority of whom support Israel as an integral part of their identity. Your administration’s failure to recognize—and, instead, to actively promote—this hostility ignores the consequent danger it poses to all its students. We note that the October 10th walkout at Eastern High School, which came soon after the horrific slaughter and kidnapping of innocent Israeli citizens by a terrorist organization, was specifically dedicated to the “memory of all innocent lives lost.” It was not a public challenge to the residents of Gaza. Here, the planned “Pro-Palestinian”... Read more →
