Three nationwide surveys by Wirthlin Worldwide Company indicated that:
In 1994, 83% of women and 64% of men favored stricter laws governing the pornography industry.
In 1997, 80% thought federal laws against hard-core pornography should be vigorously enforced.
In March 2002, 81% of Americans said they favored vigorous enforcement of federal laws against Internet obscenity.  Among women it was 90%.

"No concerned American today can afford to be silent in the face of pornography's assaults; for that silence can be misconstrued by law enforcement officials, legislators, merchants, and most importantly, our children, as approval."

"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 to its presence, because it can have a harmful effect on young and old alike (cite some examples). Tell him or her that until it is removed, you cannot trade there. Get others to do the same. It does make a difference!
Parents Television Council:  Help us Put an End to Broadcast Indecency!  The Parents Television Council was founded in 1995 to ensure that children are not constantly assaulted by sex, violence and profanity on television and in other media. It is a violation of Federal law to broadcast obscene or indecent programming.  Obscene speech is not protected by the First Amendment and cannot be broadcast at any time. Check these sites for action on these issues.
