Anti-Porn/ Pro-Decency Conference





Several of us just returned from Washington D.C. We heard about a conference that we wanted to attend, get information and action items, and bring them back to Arizona. We rubbed shoulders with Morality In Media, Family Research Council, Focus on the Family, Concerned Women of America and many more groups. Several people spoke on the devastating effects of pornography and there were some good ideas. Then we participated in a peaceful demonstration in front of the Department of Justice. They are responsible to for not prosecuting the obscenity laws. We wanted to send a message to them that they need to start doing this. Their excuse is lack of support from the President, Attorney General, man power and money. By them not prosecuting, we have lost our choice to not view this salacious material and the pornographers have won. Jeremy has talked to our own County Attorney, Andrew Thomas, about prosecuting here in Arizona. You absolutely can't believe what he said. He won't prosecute the obscenity laws on the books. He will only prosecute a new law that gets enacted. What kind of lame excuse is that? We need attorneys to prosecute so that the jury can decide. When Andrew Thomas decides not to prosecute, THE PEOPLE HAVE LOST THEIR VOICE. Who is Andrew Thomas to decide and thereby letting the pornography industry win?

Well done, guys! Seems like an interesting, exciting trip. Thanks for posting the info.

You all look great, by the way. (But then again, any group with John in it is going to be a great looking group. You are smart to bring John along; anyone who sees John will stop and say, "Now there is something I need to find out more about!")
