Allegheny County Alert: Mandated HPV Vaccination and Petition Drive

By Leave a Comment

The Allegheny County Health Department (an unelected body) is poised to mandate all 11 and 12 year olds must have the HPV vaccination in order to enter school! So . . . the “health” department is poised to require pre-teen students to get a vaccination to prevent a sexually transmitted disease. Given that the HPV (Humanpillomavirus) is sexually transmitted and not contagious in a school setting, this mandate is totally unnecessary for the health of school children.

There is currently a petition drive to force a referendum question on the Allegheny County ballot in November. The referendum, if passed, would require the posting of the National Motto in the Gold Room of the Allegheny County Courthouse. They must obtain 20,000 signatures by August 5 in order for the question to be placed on the November 8th ballot. Can you help gather signatures?

How safe is your neighborhood? Does your municipality have ordinances to regulate sexually oriented businesses? How many convenience stores in your neighborhood sell pornography? How many x-rated DVDs are in the video store down the street? How about your local library – your child’s school library — do they have filters on their computers?

Action Alert – Ask AG Kane to Continue Investigating Porn Emails

By Leave a Comment

As listed in today’s news release, McCaffery faces several accusations against him — accusations that the average Pennsylvanians would be investigated for, if they were leveled at them. But Seamus McCaffery simply walks away. As a pro-decency group, our major concern is whether the emails described in last week’s news release are illegal obscenity. It is against federal law to email obscene material!

News Release – McCaffery is Gone, But Questions Remain

Yesterday PA Supreme Court Judge Seamus McCaffery sent his resignation letter to Governor Corbett without mentioning the email scandal involving more than 234 pornographic photos and videos, but instead said he was retiring “in light of my immediate intention to embark on other professional endeavors and paths.” The American Family Association of Pennsylvania (AFA of PA), a statewide pro-decency group, is still asking Attorney General Kathleen Kane to investigate whether the sexually explicit emails sent by McCaffery and the others involved were illegal obscenity.

News Release — Porn Investigation Must Expand

By Leave a Comment

Today the American Family Association of Pennsylvania (AFA of PA), a statewide pro-decency organization, contacted the PA Attorney General’s office asking for the expansion of the investigation into the email porn scandal. Our question: Is this material illegal obscenity? The AFA of PA is calling for a full investigation into whether the material being circulated among these government officials is illegal obscenity and thus a federal crime.

An ongoing battle is being waged in the city of McKeesport in Allegheny County. Their city council was caught without the proper ordinances to fully regulate sexually oriented businesses. A recently purchased store front is poised to reopen as the Saints and Sinners Gentlemen’s Club. The planned Valentine’s Day opening did not happen, but they continue to work on renovations, as resistance against the business continues to grow.

AFA of PA Action Alert – Fighting Pornography Addiction

By Leave a Comment

I attended a meeting in our nation’s capitol last week and during that meeting the trailer, as well as a 30 minute segment, of a documentary were shown. It dealt with the negative impact of pornography — specifically addressing the porn problem within the church. Porn addiction, in general, is a subject that is largely being ignored, but most definitely it is being ignored within the church. How can a pastor or other church leader address a sin in which they are involved? They can’t and won’t. Thus the problem is growing within the church and many are left with a feeling of hopelessness. This documentary, The Heart of the Matter, provides insight into the porn problem within the church, the impact on individuals and marriages and the church as a whole. It also provides hope.
