White Ribbon against Pornography Happening this Week

Citizens take have been taking steps to stand against the evils of our society.
The average home is the root of America's problem; it no longer teaches honor, hard world, self-reliance, sacrifice, fear of God, or individual responsibility and the principles of limited government to the next generation. Without there basic lessons, the next generation will shortly fall; by it's ignorance there will be the consequence of a series of "law traps," and their right and independence will slowly slip away. This would mean a country of prisoners bound to the government, and freedom would be a treasure only dreamed of.
There is scarcely any thing that can wound the pride, or degrade the character, of a people which we do not experience. Our country never ceases to ignorantly inflict upon itself shameful violation of rights and morals. The U.S. has poverty everywhere and homeless, abused children, it also has dead churches spotting its states with feeble ministers; our Nation also has fornication at a staggering rate and divorce flooding the home; and the citizens don't seem to care, at least in my view, because if we would be doing something about this despicable situation our nation has today of the cases I have mentioned.If we would begin to save our culture and Nation, we must save ourselves. Each person must put Jesus first in his or her life, and just as importantly the Bible, learning and teaching it; if we would, our dishonorable and demeaning problems would vanish.

NEW YORK, NY, October 26, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - This year, the annual White Ribbon Against Pornography (WRAP) Week runs Sunday, Oct. 25, through Sunday, Nov. 1. WRAP Week is intended to inform the public and public officials about the harms of pornography and the need to enforce obscenity and related laws.Robert Peters, the President of Morality in Media, which is organizing the event, said: "Our nation is facing a moral crisis which is giving rise to, among other things, teen promiscuity, sexually transmitted diseases (including AIDS), abortions, children born to single mothers, divorces, sexual abuse of children, rape, trafficking in women and children, on-the-job sexual harassment and lost worker productivity. The costs associated with these problems are incalculable."It is clear that the explosion of hardcore pornography on the Internet and elsewhere is fueling this moral crisis. It is also clear that ignoring the problem … and failing to take necessary steps to effectively curb the problem … won't solve the problem.Resources for individuals and groups are available at http://www.moralityinmedia.org/ ("WRAP Campaign"). These include information about ordering white ribbons and a sheet describing what citizens can do during WRAP Week and throughout the year, sample letter to U.S. Attorney General Holder, sample letter to state prosecutors, sample Proclamation, and sample prayers and sermons."The government's ongoing failure to enforce federal obscenity laws should be a matter of great concern to President Obama and Attorney General Holder," said Peters."While enforcement of obscenity laws is not the whole answer to the pornography problem, vigorous enforcement will put many hardcore pornographers out of business and encourage others to get or stay out. It will also send the message that pornography is a moral and social evil. Youth especially need to hear this message.Peters also pointed out that the Supreme Court has held that obscenity laws can be enforced against 'hardcore pornography' "and these days most commercially distributed pornography is 'hardcore.'" "The Court has also said there are 'legitimate governmental interests' at stake in stemming the tide of commercialized obscenity," said Peters, "which include protecting public safety, family life, and morality, and maintaining a decent society."He concluded, "Clearly, children also need protection both from exposure to hardcore pornography and from sexual predators who use this material to groom their victims and arouse themselves."
