Anti Porn groups start letter writing campaign to stop skin mags on military bases

[Tanker]

WASHINGTON -- Dozens of anti-pornography groups asked the U.S. Congress to force the Pentagon to keep sexually related material from being sold in military stores.

Pornographic material was banned from being sold in military establishments nearly 10 years ago, but Christian group American Family Association claimed that adult fare, including Penthouse and Playboy material, is still being sold in the stores, USA Today reported Monday.
Poll: Should skin mags be available at U.S. Military installations?

The Pentagon deemed those materials aren't explicit enough to pull from its stores.

"They're saying 'we're not selling stuff that's sexually explicit' -- and we say it's pornography," Donald Wildmon, head of the American Family Association, told USA Today.

A letter-writing campaign launched Friday aimed to convince Congress to "get the Pentagon to obey the law," he added.

The Military Honor and Decency Act of 1996 is supposed to bar "sexually explicit material" from being sold in stores on military bases, the newspaper said. It defines porn as "the dominant theme of which depicts or describes nudity" or sexual activities "in a lascivious way."

So the men (and women) will buy it off base anyway.......or have it sent directly to them.....when will people mind their own biz instead of trying to eat away at out 1st amendment rights and dictate morality to us.

For all we know these people are the biggest hypocrits of them all with a whole box of skin mags in their bottom drawers.

Anyone catch the key component to this? It was a letter writing campaign...how many people bitching about this have written letters of their own? Groups like the AFA and morons like Wildmon have very organized letter writing campaigns like this and continue to make themselves heard, while everyone else sits by and complains or thinks "someone needs to do something".

those freaking Christians just need to get laid the right way, and all this nonsense will stop

You're right. We should start a letter writing campaign to ban all bible sales within 100 yards of schools because they fuck up our children's minds and they grow up to be idiots who write letters about soldiers looking at Playboy magazine.

Hey while they're at it maybe they can get the government to obey the law about torture and wiretaps.
