Subject:   Violence & Smut Free Programming for America


In our household, as in a growing number of homes, we said
"ENOUGH" quite some  time ago to television broadcasting.  First
we turned off the set; then we  cancelled cable.  The only shows
we miss are "Christy" on the Family Channel,  and the classics
(when decency still reigned) on American Movie Classics.  We 
have an 8-year old son, who reads on a 12th grade level...as a
direct result.   On Saturday mornings, we find him curled up in
bed reading the Hardy Boys  Mysteries, or Mutiny on the Bounty,
or Tom Sawyer.  He is happy, well adjusted  and full of hope
because we do not allow the secular media world to pollute his 
mind with gargage and hopelessness.  If we want to watch
something, we play one  of the many videos that we own, or we
rent something uplifting from the  Christian book store...i.e.,
C.S. Lewis.  Our home and family classes at church  advocate
pulling the plug; radio is a much better alternative.

I recommend that you wake up to the hunger for decency and
wholesomeness, and  begin to take your influence over the young
minds of America seriously.
