Your attention please...

We have some fantastic news!!!!!

The CP80 Foundation has finally come up with a way to reign in the pornography industry and keep it zoned out of a child's eyes. The internet as we now know it is NOT a safe place for kids to surf, and it gets worse every day. The very best filter only filters 92% of unwanted adult content. That leaves over 300,000 sites unblocked!!!!!

We are writing to announce that there is HOPE and you can help! We expect Senator Kyl from Arizona to announce his sponsoring of new legislation, The Internet Community Ports Act which would open up another port for internet use. Currently we all use basically one port for our web surfing, the HTTP. With two ports to use, the internet could then be appropriately zoned. One port (the open port) would be the same as we now know it. The other (the community port) would be WITHOUT the adult content. For practical home and community use, you make your choice with your server and they simply flip a switch.

This simple easy change would protect schools, libraries, governments, businesses, and homes with children or any place that did not want access to pornography; it would give all these people a safe place to search the Internet. It is a brilliant, well designed solution. It NEEDS political backing! There is a rather large ground swell. The plan right now is two-fold: we are going state by state, gaining ground support, and asking each state legislature to pass a resolution, requesting the federal government to change the internet to further protect children and businesses. I have attached a sample copy of a resolution that other states have passed. (please insert your own state information) And of course, to gather federal support downtown around Senator Kyl and his efforts. We keep working and asking our legislators until they agree to support our efforts.

What can you do? Well, I was just hoping that you will support this new Internet Community Ports Act in any way you can. Will you let your colleagues know the exciting opportunity we all have to protect ourselves from this filth? Will you write to your local government leaders and tell them you want your state to protect kids online? Will you send an email off to your federal legislators asking them to support the Internet Community Ports Act this spring? Below is a sample letter you could send them.

The brilliance of the plan is that it gives everyone their freedom of choice. Those who still want pornography will have it available to them. Those who want a safe place to go without it, will finally have that place. (I personally prefer that it was made illegal, but since the courts have ruled otherwise, we still CAN zone it in its own place!)

I probably don't need to tell you how intrusive the porn industry is, how they actively try to invade any kind of filter out there, how they target our thirteen year old boys, how they are not simply offering a product, but are spending billions of dollars to find ways to get in where they are not wanted. How it is destroying children's lives and ruining families. How the sex crimes in this country are spiraling out of control. How the next generation of lawmakers and parents are becoming addicted to it! Enough is enough!

Thanks!! Please check out their website http://www.cp80.org to read all about it and the national and international coalition that is growing. There are currently 25 states on the move with this and 10 or so countries. Let's add yours to the list! And add our influence to help those on the Hill!

Thanks again!!! I know you are already busy but I also knew you would appreciate the CP80 Foundation's efforts. It really is a cause we can all stand behind.

Spread the word!!!
