NATIONAL
CAMPAIGN TO STOP ILLEGAL INTERNET PORN
About the Petition:
The Internet is under siege from pornographers who are
illegally using your computer to harm your family and your
children. In an effort to safeguard our homes, children, families,
businesses, schools and libraries from unwanted and illegal online
pornography, Grassfire has launched a national petition to stop
Illegal Internet Porn.
To date, we’ve delivered hundreds of thousands of petitions, and
met with key leaders in both the U.S. Justice Department and the
Senate—DEMANDING REAL ACTION BE TAKEN AGAINST THE PROLIFERATION OF
INTERNET PORN.
Our efforts have made a positive impact, but there is more work to
be done—especially considering the recent ruling by the U.S.
Supreme Court barring enforcement of the Child Online Protection
Act.
URGENT ACTION ITEM: 50,000 New Petitions Needed!
Grassfire will be presenting 500,000 grassroots
petitions in support of Rep. Joe Barton’s important private sector
initiative that is closing down child pornography web sites.
Grassfire is asking team members to help us rally an additional
50,000 petitions leading up to the presentation within the next 30
days.
Petition Signers to date: 429,631
