As always when a culture begins to unravel, it is the youngest members who are most wounded and disturbed.
Values and standards that have stood for centuries are rapidly crumbling, and yet many people still seem oblivious to what is happening. We have to try and make them and our government understand that our children are our
future. Let's begin by giving priority to our children. In days gone by, our culture acted to shield them from harmful images and exploitation.
Our children deserve to live their lives with no
fear. No pain. No injustice. No abuse. Send email to the White House, the
Senators, and the
Congress.
