Well we keep saying how we all need to stick together and be more of a community and that would make us stronger. I also realize FSC is fighting this battle as much as they can for us. But what about next time? What about this .XXX crap or whatever they think of next.

I had posted earlier of a lawyer we had been talking to that felt we needed some kind of association to lobby for us all the time not just when we are fighting something like this but to get some people on our side before it's too late. My husband has been researching and talking to lawyers about getting all our stuff in order and thought he might try to set up some kind of internet adult related association. His father was president of an association in Oregon when he was growing up so he has some insight on the running and what they have to offer members. For example along with stepping up to the plate when things like the 2257 regulations come along and taking it on and having lawyers for the members to talk to and give advice. They also can help in other areas like setting up health care and insurances through the association so we actually get legit companies working with us as a whole so many more people are interested in dealing with us. But the main thing is lobbying for us and getting government officials involved in issues we need them to be involved in.
There is a whole list of benefits that would come along with something like this being set up if there isn't already that I just haven't heard of.

Please any feedback would be appreciated before he starts putting together too much more on this. With as many people in this industry it could become a very powerful voice if we actually stuck together as a group and started running like most business and industries do.

If your not sure what associations do just search yahoo or google every other type of business has some association set up so it's probably about time we did too.

Thanks.... Payton
