Urgent Action: Obama's Pick for U.S. Deputy Attorney General Has Strong Ties to Pornography (among other things...)


I received this through the DIGNITY mailings. Please call and let the Obama campaign hear our voices.

"Call the Senate Judiciary Committee offices tomorrow (since the vote occurs on Thursday), and try to bombard the offices with callers, to let the Judiciary Committee know that we do not want someone in this position who has represented Playboy, Penthouse, and who has fought library porn filters. If you are able to send to your members, or send any action alerts for action tomorrow, Senate Judiciary Committee phone numbers are below. Ogden will be #2 at the DOJ, unless we can get citizens to voice their opposition to his nomination. Someone is needed who will protect families, not pornographers." -Tiffany Helfrich, Founder, Girls Against Porn

Morality In Media President Robert Peters had the following comments:
Nominating David Ogden for such a high position in the Justice Department raises questions about whether the new President means business about curbing sexual trafficking in women and children and other sexual exploitation of children and about standing up for policies that value families.
