"…We have friends of this ministry coming from Missouri, New York, Mississippi, Florida, and, of course, Michigan, but we still have room for more. …"An update on our open house/dedication scheduled for August 4, 2007. We are busy at work readying our new building for our dedication event on Saturday, August 4. What a delight to see how God is bringing in volunteers to assist us. Today we have my friend Jim Schultz and his fifteen year old son Sam with him – from Cincinnati. They are painting and trimming bushes. We are now only sixteen days away from the event. We have friends of this ministry coming from Missouri, New York, Mississippi, Florida, and, of course, Michigan, but we still have room for more. Rev. Donald E. Wildmon will be giving the dedication message for us at 7:00 pm. Here are a few words regarding Dr. Wildmon. “… If you are not familiar with his name, you likely are aware and probably have participated in some of his successful boycott campaigns. What about the successful boycott of 7-Eleven to drop Playboy… or the successful boycott of K-mart to remove the porn from their subsidiary Waldenbooks… One of the first activities of the new CEO of K-mart after getting rid of the porn was to contact Don Wildmon and pledge to lead K-mart in a family-friendly direction. Donahue also credited Don Wildmon and the AFA for destroying his program. He’s also had been the driving force in the Disney boycott. He has appeared on Meet the Press, McNeil-Lehrer Report, Good Morning America, The Tomorrow Show, The Today Show, Nightline, the 700 Club, and other television programs. He has also been featured in several publications including Time, Newsweek, People, TV Guide, Christianity Today, USA Today, and the Wall Street Journal. …" Wildmon is one of America’s original culture warriors, the most formidable pain-in-the neck for television network executives to ever walk the planet. He surfaced on the cultural radar back in 1977 as a concerned United Methodist minister who encouraged his congregation to protest Hollywood’s portrayal of sex, profanity, and violence by shutting off their television sets for a week. “Turn – The – TV – Off Weekâ€Â gained national media attention and catapulted Don into the spotlight. From those humble beginnings, Wildmon has built one of the most effective grassroots organizations in America.
