Here are Action Steps you can take during WRAP Week and throughout the year:

 

1. Display White Ribbons…Wear a WRAP lapel pin…Put a WRAP magnet on your car!To order WRAP enamel lapel pins and WRAP car magnets, go online to www.wrapfamily.com To order plastic lapel ribbons [30 cents each, with minimum order of 100] contact: The Burbridge Foundation, 3701 NW 42, Oklahoma City, OK 73112 Tel: (405) 946-3698 Email: BobBurLane@aol.com

    

 

2. Make copies of the attached What you can do to combat pornography during WRAP Week and throughout the year flyer and distribute to members of your church or other sympathetic religious/community organization (can be folded as a bulletin insert) and to the general public (e.g., in front of a store that sells pornography or at a shopping mall). It’s an inexpensive way to get the word out! MSWORD and PDF

 

3. Letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder available in the MSWORD and PDF format.

 

4. Ask your Governor, State Legislature, Mayor, or City Council to issue a Proclamation in conjunction with the White Ribbon Against Pornography Campaign. A model Proclamation, which you can photocopy and give to others, is available in the MSWORD and PDF format.

 

5. Ask your state prosecutor to enforce state obscenity laws. A model request letter, which you can photocopy and give to others, is available in MSWord and PDF formats. If you don’t know who your state prosecutor is, contact your local police department.

Alaska, Maine, New Mexico, Vermont and W. Virginia do not have a statewide obscenity law, and Montana and S. Dakota have unworkable laws. These states need new obscenity laws. [Maine, New Mexico and S. Dakota allow local control of obscenity.] In Oregon and Hawaii, state courts invalidated [OR] or gutted [HA] obscenity laws. These states need to amend their state constitutions. Morality in Media’s legal department can help draft a new or amended state obscenity law or, if the State Supreme Court has invalidated the law, an amendment to a state constitution.

6. Tell others about the www.ObscenityCrimes.org website. Use the text at this link to promote ObscenityCrimes.org as a model for a letter to family, friends, church or other organization members or to the editor of your local newspaper. Complaints about Internet pornography submitted to the website are forwarded to the Justice Department and to the U.S. Attorney in each federal district where a complaint originated. Available in MSWord and PDF formats.
