Are you subsidizing pornography?

Note: we mistakenly claimed that the magazine Hustler was being sold at PX/BX stores. Hustler is not sold on military bases.

With scientific research demonstrating the serious social and psychological harm that pornography causes, can you stand still while your tax dollars subsidize the most explicit sexual material?

This last week the Lighted Candle Society met with Congressman Paul Broun from Georgia's 10th district. Dr. Broun has introduced a bill in Congress that would prohibit military PX stores from selling pornographic films and magazines. The families of our military, the honor of our servicemen and the dignity of their service to our country deserve more than this.

Rep. Paul Broun, and
Rep. Chris Cannon with HR 5821

Currently, PX stores (military base convenient stores) sell explicit materials such as Penthouse and Playboy. Representative Broun's bill (the Military Honor and Decency Act) would remove this material from the shelves.

Please contact your representative and ask them to co-sponsor HR 5821. Click on the box below to get started! It only takes 2 minutes.

The Legacy Law Foundation has agreed to let us use their system to take action on this issue! Many thanks.

QUICK BACKGROUND

Rep. Broun (GA-10) has submitted HR 5821 which would remove pornography from PX and BX shops on military bases. Most products at these shops are subsidized by your tax dollars.

Recent peer reviewed research shows that men who view pornography are 3 times more likely to have an affair. Our military families have a difficult enough time as it is without having to deal with the psychological effects of pornography addiction.

Help support Congressman Broun. Tell your representative to sign on as a co-sponsor of HR 5821.
