AFA Alert: Sign the petition asking Marriot to drop in-room adult movies
In the next few days I, along with four other persons, will be meeting with officials from Marriott Hotels, asking them to stop offering adult movies from its hotels.
Will you help us secure 100,000 petitions to present to Marriott encouraging them to remove the movies?
If Marriott will take the lead, perhaps other hotels will do the same. Marriott is one of the largest chain of hotels in the world.
Current government and privately conducted studies conclusively prove that the explosion of pornography is having a negative effect on our society.
Take Action!
* Sign the petition asking Marriott to stop offering in-room adult movies.
* Forward this e-mail to friends and family and ask them to sign it.
The petition presented to Marriott will contain only your name and state.
Act quickly as time is of importance.
Thank you for caring enough to get involved.
Sincerely,
Don

This is a blatant violation of couples who might rent a hotel room and wish to watch adult material. Why would you wish to infringe on the amenities available to such patrons of the hospitality industry? You should be more concerned with the undermining of our civil liberties as a result of the “Global War on Terror.”

Wrong. No rights are violated. Marriott, nor anyone else is required to provide smut, which in turn tends to inspire rape, and marital infidelity, and studies have demonstrated that rapists in prison nearly universally admit that pornography is precisely what they viewed before their crimes.
But beside that, Marriott is not required to provide any service. They are a private company, and this is a private initiative to persuade by letters, not via the force and power of the state, a policy that would help keep communities and hotels safer, better places for families.
And there is another reason. The founder, Willard J. Marriott, deceased, was known as one of America’s foremost men of integrity and faith. While alive, he would never have permitted any such smut into his hotels. That those who have inherited his hotel chain have done so is an insult to Mr. Marriott’s faith and legacy.
It is a shame.
As for a couples freedom to watch whatever, this doesn’t prevent them from renting smut somewhere else, and bringing it into their room, or bringing along their own videos. It just makes it a little bit less convenient.
Smut, if it is legal at all, shouldn’t be convenient. That’s my opinion.
Respectfully,
Steve

PS.
As to the undermining of our rights in reference to the War on Terror, we are on the same page. This network of websites and its writers has consistently raised the issue.
Thanks,
Steve
