the Victims of Pornography Month at 513-733-5775 We are encouraging you to join the growing number of organizations in recognizing the many victims of pornography, not only during the month of May, but throughout the year.
Why? Speaking on behalf of the countless victims of pornography, poet
Amber Smith poignantly state it this way: A
Victims Whisper Once you've heard my story Can you feel the pain? Must I walk this cold, dark path? Silenced by the shame? Who will take a stand for me? To say I'm not alone? Who will take the pain I've felt, And let the cost be known? Author Amber Smith Now more than ever, men, women, children, churches and communities are feeling the impact that pornography is having. The victims of pornography are real! Pornographers are profiting from someone s pain, as stated in the above poem. Why a VOP month? For over 5 years several national and local pro-family organizations have recognized May as the "Victims of Pornography Month." VOP month was established to address this growing problem and speak with compassion and convection to do all we can as citizens to stop the victimization that pornography brings to so many. In 1997 a web page was developed to not only aid those struggling with pornography, but spread the message to America that this is a real problem. What is happening? Congressman Joseph Pitts along with several other elected officials, who have long been champions of VOP month, will be hosting a 2-hour summit with expert witnesses, counselors, and those affected by this issue on Capital Hill, May 19th in Washington, DC. National radio programs, organizations and interviews will be participating in this month. We encourage citizens and organizations around the nation to hold press conferences; write editorials to local papers; set up interviews on local radio and TV; encourage sermons and Sunday school lessons on this issue; and make others aware of outreaches in your community for those struggling in this area. National
call to action: Several national and local organization are calling for
the US Justice Department-CEOS Divisio, local prosecutors, and law
enforcement officers to do all they can to enforce excellent obscenity laws
already on the books. Call,
write and e-mail Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and demand that the
Department of Justice vigorously enforce the federal obscenity laws at [email protected]
