AFA of PA Action Alert

May 9, 2010

Issues  (check corresponding number in ‘Details’ and ‘Action’ Sections)

1.)    XXX Domain Proposed

2.)    How Did Your Congressman Vote?

3.)    Absentee Ballot Deadline

Details

1.)    XXX Domain is being considered by ICANN – The Internet Corporation on Numbers and Names – the governing board that controls the Internet.  Such a domain will increase the amount of porn on the Internet and make it more available to children and adults.  There are no regulations that would require all porn sites to locate on the XXX domain. 

2.)    Recently a vote was taken to give the green light to Puerto Rico to become a state.  With the upcoming November election and the possibility of two more Democratic US Senators and up to eight more Democratic Congressmen and tens of thousands of new Democratic voters if Puerto Rico becomes a state, one wonders if this move may not be politically motivated!

3.)    May 11^th is the last day for your County Courthouse to receive applications for absentee ballots.

Action Steps

1.)  ICANN is taking public comment concerning the proposed XXX domain through May 10^th.    Email ICANN at icm-options-report@icann.org and ask them to adopt option 3 in regards to the XXX domain.

2.)    Click here to see how your Congressman voted on Puerto Rican statehood. 

3.)    Click here for more information on voting absentee for the May 18^th primary.  Remember the deadline for them to receive your Absentee Ballot Application is May 11^th and the deadline for them to receive your completed absentee ballot is May 14^th.
