FSC Thanks Those Who Helped Solidify LA Times and Daily News Endorsements

CANOGA PARK, Calif. ? Free Speech Coalition (FSC) is heartened by a significant development today as both the L.A. Times and the Daily News newspapers have endorsed the No on Measure B campaign.

?The L.A. Times and the Daily News reach one million readers in L.A. County. Having the endorsement of these and several other local publications sends a clear recommendation to voters to vote no on Measure B,? said FSC CEO Diane Duke.

?We are very grateful to the industry members and experts that stepped up to meet with these publications as spokespeople for the local adult production industry,? Duke added.

Industry members, experts and local representatives that met with the Daily News editorial board include performers Steven St Croix, Kayden Cross, Wicked Pictures owner Steve Orenstein, Cutting Edge Testing?s Dr. Peter Miao, Valley Industries and Commerce Association (VICA) President Stuart Waldman, and No On Measure B Media Director James Lee, as well as FSC?s Duke.

Additionally, the meeting with the L.A. Times editorial board was attended by performer Nina Hartley, Vivid Entertainment founder Steve Hirsch, VICA President Stuart Waldman, attorney and FSC chair Jeffrey Douglas, FSC?s Duke, and No on Measure B?s Lee.

?FSC wants to thank everyone that helped to represent the adult industry at the meetings with these important publications,? Duke continued. ?Because we were able to explain the industry?s concerns and the serious flaws with Measure B, we have gained these important endorsements. Thank you!?

Measure B, the Los Angeles ?Safer Sex? initiative, requires adult performers to use condoms and other forms of barrier protection on production sets and ? if passed ? would force County officials to implement elaborate enforcement protocols with a new County agency for adult production inspection. FSC and the adult industry stand in opposition to this flawed scheme, citing cost to L.A. taxpayers and warning that Measure B would drive the adult production industry from the Los Angeles area.

Great, another FSC press release... one that reads like the papers had to be lobbied rather than deciding against it based on the measure itself.

If you're going to do a press release every time the wind changes direction at least have a true PR professional write it.

I wouldnt be thanking anyone just yet your ballot initiative is still polling near 70% for passage among registered voters who have voted in past elections.

And the very day you laud the LA Times for coming aout against measure B they had a sticker on the front page of every paper that said YES on measure B

That said posting to the choir and patting each other on the back on twitter isnt going to get your message out to the people who actually vote....spending your time posting your propaganda elsewhere would be a lot more productive....

Maybe they can have another fundraiser!

So while everybody was schmoozing the editorial board to write something most won't read, AHF was busy giving the advertising department money to stick Yes on B stickers on every paper going out the door?

Sorry, but I think AHF won this round. At least FSC got another press release!

Persuading the public is hard at best when your competition has millions to spend.

You work with those who want to work with you.

To those who have helped, thank you for your support.

To those who criticize the efforts of others, thank you for the criticism.
