This was a protest movement by the people of California against gambling and the expansion of gambling in Californian local governments. It was originally known as the Great American Boycott and later became known as the People's Convoy to protect the protestors against possible legal action by the casinos. The movement was inspired by the Christian right in the City of Los Angeles and the group Focus on the Family. The Convoy was a response to the spread of legalized gambling in California and attempts to expand this trend. The Convoy was not a political protest, it was a lobbyist movement against the spread of gambling.
