In an August 1986 Gallup Poll, 73% of the Americans interviewed wanted a ban on violent
pornography, and 92% wanted to ban child pornography.
"No concerned American today can afford to be silent in the face of
pornagraphy's assaults; for that silence can be misconstrued by law enforcement officials,
legislators, merchants, and most importantly, our children, as approval."
- Morality in Media
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men (and women)
to do nothing."
-Edmund Burke

Speak Out. When you find
pornography in a place of business, tell the manager or owner that you object ot its
presence, because it can have a harmful effect on young and old alike (cite some
examples). Tell him that until he removes it, you cannot trade there. Get others to do the
same.
Write and phone your
congressional representatives, senator and and state legislators, urging them to support
any bills being introduced that have to do with controlling obscenity and child
pornography.
