Seeking support from old friends and new

By: American Decency Staff

If you agree that we should not give up our public shopping places to darkness, we are asking you to show your support today with a gift of $25 or $50. Personal note:American Decency Association is not currently fighting in the big war – the war in Iraq, the borders, we aren't involved in the Presidential campaigns directly. We have, however, fought some big battles in regard to Howard Stern, Abercrombie & Fitch as you know. Presently, we are engaged in what some think are lowly battles of speaking up for decency at the frontlines where no one seems to pay much attention for whatever reason. Indecency at the checkouts Indecency at the local mall Victoria's Secret (recently received a letter from the attorney for Lakes Mall, Muskegon Mall basically saying that we are to address our concerns to the attorney) Yeah. Sure. Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition — recently provided the 2008 list of advertisers in recent email alert I know you have other ministries that you are supporting. We do too. However, I'm calling out to you today to show your support for our frontline efforts on these fights at the local level that so few are fighting in our day. They aren't inconsequential. Giving up the fight for decency at the local level is a huge mistake. Giving in to the darkness of Cosmopolitan, SI Swimsuit, the darkness of VS displays, etc.. will only lead to greater and greater darkness. If you agree that we should not give up our public shopping places to darkness, we are asking you to show your support today with a gift of $25 or $50. Let us hear from some of our faithful friends but also from some new friends as well. Your stand with us will be a great encouragement and help as we continue to fight the fight of faith on the spiritual battlefields God has called us to. Thank you for caring enough to get involved. https://americandecency.org/folder.php?f=donate Giving remains significantly down.

Bill Johnson, president American Decency Association www.americandecency.org 231-924-4050 ———- "… Here is the reason why we have a moral breakdown in every area of life. The titanic freedoms which we once enjoyed have been cut loose from their Christian restraints and are becoming a force of destruction leading to chaos. And when this happens, there really are very few alternatives. All morality becomes relative, law becomes arbitrary, and society moves toward disintegration. In personal and social life, compassion is swallowed up by self-interest. …" Dr. Francis A. Schaeffer
