Email Jeff Flake

Please email Rep Jeff Flake to cosponsor the Military Honor and Decency Act (HR 5821). This act is being sponsored by Rep. Paul Broun (Georgia). As of a week ago, they only had 17 cosponsors. They should have about 150. We want Arizona to be counted as a state that stands for decency. We need to support our troops and not smother them with obscene materials while they are honorably serving our country.

Broun's legislation, the "Military Honor and Decency Act," closes a loophole in current law that is allowing the sale of sexually explicit material on American military installations located both within the United States and around the world. Although the "National Defense Authorization Act of 1997" expressly prevents the Secretary of Defense from permitting the sale or rental of sexually explicit material on property under the jurisdiction of the Department of Defense (DoD), subsequent regulations adopted by the Department of Defense have continued to allow the sale of sexually explicit material to occur. Congressman Broun's legislation closes these existing loopholes in DoD regulations to bring the Department into compliance with the intent of the 1997 law so that taxpayers will not be footing the costs of distributing pornography.
