"Political Influence of Adult Sites" and "Free Speech Coalition" pressure.

[Bill]

These two threads are dealing with related issues:

Do you think our adult sites have any political influence

So, I have been thinking about this - Cambria Struggles in Senate Porn Hearings

And I thought some folks here might want to discuss them together.

The first thread led to some discussion of writing a position statement from adult webmasters about the current political concerns.

The second thread brought up voluntary content rating and pressuring the Free Speech coalition to start a genuine and functioning internet department.

These two things are strongly related, and they all have to do with adult webmasters beoming more politically powerful and effective.

I thought we should discuss them together.

It won't be long before it will be time to pay our next years dues for the FSC. Those dues constitute our primary pressure over that old school organization. I think we should talk about what we can do to get the FSC to be a better representative for our concerns.

And, writing some kind of position statement about our concerns, which is the big idea of the first thread about political influence, is a big part of getting the FSC to really represent us, and of becoming more politically savvy in general.

So, do we want to continue discussing these topics?
