0letter To Community Leaders

 Dear
Community
Leader,
 
 
 Did
you
know
that
over
80%
of
males
age
17‐34
visit
pornographic
sites
each
 month?
Over
47%
of
families
say
that
pornography
is
affecting
their
home.

In
an
area
 where
family
is
generally
placed
above
all
else,
it
seems
pornography
is
a
problem
that
is
 plaguing
our
community.


 
 Citizens
for
Decency
will
be
gathering
the
community
to
form
a
coalition
against
 pornography
on
November
14,
2009
for
their
semi‐annual
anti‐pornography
conference
 themed,
Visual
Addiction:
The
Effects
of
Pornography
in
the
Brain.
 
 A
woman
affected
by
pornography
through
her
husband's
addiction
wisely
said,
"If
 we
can
immunize
against
the
porn
bug's
effect,
we
will
decrease
the
likeliness
of
active
 infection.”

Immunization
is
education.
Like
many
other
diseases,
it
is
better
to
seek
out
the
 immunization
early,
than
try
to
fix
the
disease
after
it
has
taken
its
silent
toll
(as
the
addict
 will
remain
maimed
from
past
damage).
 
 
 

We
would
like
to
invite
your
congregation
to
be
educated
and
participate
in
this
 cause
and
the
conference.
Enclosed
are
copies
of
the
fliers
and
an
invitation
to
this
event.

 Please
invite
your
congregation
and
anyone
else
you
know
that
might
benefit
from
this
 event.
 Every
little
bit
will
help.

With
you
and
your
congregation
we
can
rid
our
community
 of
this
visual
addiction
that
is
affecting
individual’s
brains,
breaking
up
families,
and
 degrading
the
morals
of
our
community.

cause
