We were meeting with people who have given their lives in the thankless job of fighting pornography. But times have changed, and now the leadership of the pro-decency movement needs to understand clearly the enemy we are fighting. It is the unsolicited, unwanted porn that is shot purposefully into my home no matter my best efforts at blocking it. The porn industry does all they can to target my children and hook them into the deadly trap of porn addiction.
This addiction makes this more than an issue of morality, it is now a mental health issue that is deadly and destructive to addicts and those around them.
To fight the huge dollars of the porn industry, it is going to take all of us, every color, gender, political party, and religion to get focused on a viable solution that will help stop the unwanted porn from invading my home.
At this conference, I sitting right around me was a university professor from California, an African-American woman, a hasidic jewish rabbi, a retired television executive, a mom, a dad. All of us were there for different reasons, but we all wanted to somehow let people know that what is happening out there isn't ok with us. And that we must find some solutions to curb this plague.
One man that presented, Ralph Yarro, spoke about a great solution that can stop unwanted porn from coming into my home and give our society a fighting chance. Very simply said, he proposes national legislation that would create one internet that would be a family friendly version and leave the other internet as it is now. You could choose which would come into your home. It is technically possible in a surprisingly easy way. We are working with him and Senator Jon Kyl (one of the most outstanding senators ever) to get this legislation introduced. But it will take huge support from the people. Find out about this by checking out www.cp80.org. The more support politicians feel on this issue, the easier it is to move forward.
The other idea that came from this conference that I fully support is having a presidential commission or task force on obscenity. This existed when Ronald Reagan and the first George Bush were the presidents, but does not exist now. The President of the United States needs to know the effect that obscenity is having on the country and what he can do to improve the situation. It would send a message out to everyone that this issue is a priority.

LOVE the signs! Way to go and let your voice be heard. I agree this needs to be an inclusionary effort of all people, no matter their differences. This is a cause that unites us. And there STILL is power in the masses. I have seen it happen here where the good voice of the people was heard and followed. It isn't always WHO you know, sometimes it is how MANY. So let our voices be heard in mass numbers!
