Produced and distributed over 20,000 Family Values voter’s guides for the 2004 election.
Worked with local agencies to prevent the opening of at least three new “Adult Businesses” and the closing or bringing into compliance several others.
Actively involved in improving adult zoning ordinances in our community; specifically a new zone ordinance, Neighborhood Commercial, which excludes the sale of “Adult Material”.
Provided four communities with strong and restrictive “Adult Businesses” ordinances.
Diligently worked with City and County officials, law enforcement agencies, media outlets, code enforcement officials, concerned citizens, civic and church groups to establish a voice in the community so that family values are heard and promoted.
Conducted an Education Awareness Campaign to alert the community to the effort to bring the annual MTV Awards to Memphis and the negative impact this would have on our youth.
Authored a strategy and participated in a National effort against a major clothing chain’s sexually charged advertising campaign directed toward preteen and teens. The outcry from concerned citizens was so strong that this clothing store has now adopted more family friendly advertising.
Editorial published in local paper alerting parents to the relentless cultural battle being waged for control of the moral values of our children; our most precious asset.
