Dear Friend:

    If there was ever a time to Rise up, it is now! It is time to sound the alarm from the church house to the White House.  We must proclaim, We want the principles of the founders of our nation to be the guiding light of our nation again.

        P_rnography is flooding our streets, our airways, the worldwide web and now breaking through cell phones.

      Every second $3,075.64 is spent on porn.

      Every second 28,258 Internet users are viewing it.

      Every 39 minutes a new p_rnographic video is being created in the U.S.

      In 2006 the world revenue from p_rn was $97 billion. That made this industry larger than the combined revenues of the top tech companies of Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Ebay, Yahoo, Apple, NetFlix and Earthlink in 2006.   

      The average age for first time Internet exposure is 11 years old. The largest consumer group of Internet p_rn is 35-49. 90% of 8-16 year olds have viewed p_rn online.

      It was the early 1950’s that Hugh Hefner began publishing Playboy. His strategy was to give away Playboy free to senators, representatives and judges to influence them to be accepting of his publication. The strategy worked for him and it worked to desensitize our culture to p_rn.

      In 1962 prayer and Bible reading were taken out of our public schools by court edict.

      In Maryland in 1963, Madalyn Murray O’Hair won a lawsuit against the Baltimore School System that voted in her favor 8-1 to ban school prayer and label it “unconstitutional.” Though not all prayer was immediately banned from schools at that time, through time, almost all school prayer is banned today.

      John Adams and John Hancock wrote in 1775 “we recognize no sovereign but God and no king but Jesus!” George Washington said, “It is impossible to govern the world without God and the Bible.”

      William Bradford authored the Mayflower Compact of 1620.  As the Pilgrim’s Leader, he said they came to America seeking religious freedom… “for the propagating and advancing the gospel of the kingdom of Christ in those remote parts of the world.”  On the painting of the signing of the Mayflower Compact Bradford states, “Having undertaken, for the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian faith, … in the presence of God, and one of another, we covenant… our selves together…”

 

      President John Adams said, “The general principles upon which the Fathers achieved independence were the general principals of Christianity…I will avow that I believed and now believe that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God.”  John Adams said to Thomas Jefferson on April 19, 1817, “Without Religion this World would be Something not fit to be mentioned in polite Company….”

 

      It is our moral obligation to reinstitute the values of our founding fathers. We must be/get involved.  We must not sit silently by as p_rnographers (or others) spin the freedom of speech into an acceptance of every word and image as protected speech.
