Members of an eastern Kentucky church are heading to Frankfort to voice their opposition to casino gambling.

Governor Beshear wants Kentucky voters to be able to decide whether to allow casinos in the state saying they could bring beneficial tax revenue.

But the pastor of Binghamtown Baptist Church in Middlesboro says letting it go to a vote would be dangerous.

"So much money pumped in for advertising from the other side which we don't have and by the time the issue comes to a ballot they'll be a lot of misgivings about it," said Rev. Boyd Bingham, of Binghamtown Baptist Church.

"Some people just can't draw the line on where to stop, there's no good in it in my opinion," said Kenny Pratt, of Binghamtown Baptist Church.

A group of church members are heading to a rally in Frankfort on March 5 where they plan to voice their opposition to lawmakers.
