I'm not asking a donation, just some of your time doing what you do best: getting the word out to the public. 
If you want to donate, it will be much appreciated. Even better, join the FSC and support our efforts. Hundreds and hundreds of industry companies and leaders already do support the FSC.  |
Im going to give you some honest advice here...take it or leave it.
If you want to win this you are going to have to assume some financial transparency. The FSC's biggest problem in the last ten years or more has been exactly that, nobody knows where the money goes.
You need to rein in the morons that think its a good idea to attack the talent, attacking Darren James and Dereck Burts plays right into AHFs hands, that is patently stupid.
You need to focus on facts, telling people its a waste of taxpayer dollars when its clearly in the law that the industry will pick up the tab for it is a losing strategy
You recently tried to convince performers that it would make them criminals...thats another horrible defense, there is nothing in that law anywhere that provides for criminal or even civil penalties for performers who dont comply.
The whole goggles and dental dams argument is also very weak, it is clearly stated that that would be a more extreme measure in the event that we still cant get our shit together.
Your best strategy is to frame it as a civil rights issue but that is weak as well because the law really has nothing to do with performer rights, pass or fail it circumvents performer rights. you night consider looking at an alternative bit of legislation that would approach it from this angle, make it a strong civil penalty if any company tries in any way to circumvent or punish a performers choice and make it a truly optional thing with civil penalties for violating that right. The numbers seem to say that 1/3 to 1/4 of performers want to use condoms wouldn't it be worth 1 scene in 3 or 4 in exchange for being left alone about it?
Stop lying to people, if you don't you wont have a prayer.
And start reaching out to the voters....tweeting back and forth to porners is preaching to the choir, most of them wont even register to vote.
you want constructive criticism, there it is.
