Letter To Community Leaders

October 27, 2009

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. For more information about our organization or how you can further help this cause you can visit http://www.CitizensforDecency.org or email us at [email protected]. Thank you,

Craig Cobia, Ph.D. Chairman/President
