KATHY GILROY FROM ILLINOIS IS A CHRISTIAN INDIVIDUAL WHO IS
FIGHTING AGAINST GAMBLING.
SHE IS ANTI-GAMBLING ALL THE WAY, SHE HAS FOUGHT TOOTH AND
NAIL TO SHUT CERTAIN OPERATIONS DOWN BECAUSE OF GAMBLING.
SOMETHING HAPPENED IN HER PERSONAL LIFE THAT MADE HER
WONDER IF SHE IS A HYPOCRITE.
SHE PLAYED A SWEEPSTAKES GAME AND SHE WON $25,000.
SO SHE
CALLED HER PASTOR AND HE SAID DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT GOD WANTS
YOU TO HAVE THAT MONEY.
>>THIS IS MY FAVORITE THING.
>>OF COURSE.
>> THIS STORY IS SO GOOD.
>>FOR YOUR VOLUNTEER TIME.
>> THERE IS MORE.
SO SHE IS ASKED BY REPORTERS
DOESN'T THIS MAKE YOU A
HYPOCRITE?
AND SHE SAID NO, I AM NOT GAMBLING WITH MY OWN MONEY.
SHE SAYS THE SWEEPSTAKES YOU ENTER FOR FREE AND THEN WHEN IT
COMES TO GAMBLING WHICH BY THE WAY SHE FREQUENTS QUITE OFTEN
BASED ON THIS REPORT, IT IS WITH THE MONEY THEY GIVE HER IN
PROMOTIONS.
SHE SAYS THAT GAMBLING IS OKAY.
>> I SPEND A LOT OF MONEY THERE SO I CAN GET THE PROMOTIONS SO
I CAN GAMBLE, BUT I'M NOT SPENDING MY MONEY TO GAMBLE.
THIS IS A WONDERFUL STORY OF HYPOCRISY.
IT REMINDS ME OF THE STORY WE DID ON PEOPLE WHO PROTEST
ABORTION-RIGHTS AND THEN THEY GO HAVE AN ABORTION AT THE CLINIC
THEY ARE PROTESTING.
A REPORTER ASKED ONE OF THEM ABOUT IT AND THE PERSON SAID
YES BUT I NEEDED THE ABORTION.
THE REST OF THEM ARE SLUT.
>>SHE HAS SIGNED UP FOR THE MAILING LIST FOR ALL THESE
GAMBLING CAFÉS IN HER AREA.
SHE KEEPS UP WITH WHAT IS GOING ON JUST SO SHE CAN GET SOME OF
THOSE FREE PROMO CREDITS IN
ORDER TO GAMBLE.
OBVIOUSLY SHE LOVES TO GAMBLE.
HERE'S WHAT SHE SAID ABOUT WHY SHE DECIDED TO BE A CRUSADER
AGAINST GAMBLING.
APPARENTLY SHE USED TO GAMBLE ALL THE TIME AND NOTICED ALL
THESE PEOPLE AROUND HER AND WHAT THEY LOOKED LIKE.
SHE SAID SHE DID NOT WANT TO ASSOCIATE WITH THESE PEOPLE.
YEARS AGO SHE QUIT BECAUSE SHE WAS STRUCK BY THIS SMOKE AND
THE BROKEN DOWN PLAYERS AT THE TRACK.
SHE STILL GOING TO BE THERE EVERY DAY GAMBLING WITH SOMEONE
ELSE'S MONEY BUT THE STORY IS JUST AMAZING TO ME.
>> SHE IS CRUSADING AGAINST GAMBLING BECAUSE IT TAKES MONEY
FROM POOR PEOPLE AND IT ERODES SOCIAL VALUES.
SHE SELLS SUPPLEMENTAL HEALTH INSURANCE ON PEOPLE WITH
MEDICARE.
SO SHE IS TRYING TO TAKE MONEY FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE VERY
LIMITED AMOUNTS.
SHE IS ACTIVELY DOING THAT THROUGH HER PROFESSIONAL
CHOICES.
THIS WHOLE THING ABOUT CRUSADING AGAINST GAMBLING, IT IS THE
CLASSIC STORY OF TRYING TO JUST
DEFLECT FROM YOUR OWN ISSUES AND SEEING THEM HYPER PROJECTED ON
OTHER PEOPLE.
>>TO MAKE YOURSELF FEEL BETTER ABOUT YOUR OWN PROBLEMS AND
ADDICTIONS.
>> I MEAN SHE WINS MORE THAN I HAVE EVER WON BEFORE IN MY LIFE.
>>
THE LEVEL OF HOW MUCH SHE WINS INDICATES HOW MUCH SHE GAMBLES.
SHE MAY BE THE MOST BIGGEST ADDICT OF GAMBLING I HAVE EVER
READ.
>>I DON'T BELIEVE SHE DOESN'T USE HER OWN MONEY.
>> ONE OF THE REASONS SHE DOESN'T FAVOR GAMBLING IS SHE
TAKES MONEY FROM POOR PEOPLE.
SO THEY ASKED HER YOU JUST ONE $25,000, ISN'T THAT TAKING MONEY
FROM PEOPLE WHO LOST THE MONEY GAMBLING?
SHE SAID I THOUGHT
ABOUT THAT BUT IT COMES OUT OF THE PROFITS OF THE PARENT
COMPANY.
THAT DIDN'T COME FROM POOR PEOPLE AT ALL.
