Consumer Price Gouging and TV Industry Moral Reform
POSITION
God respecting Americans say "NO MORE"!
NO MORE price gouging by the oil companies and large corporations!
NO MORE social and moral decay brought on by the TV entertainment
industry!
NO MORE corrupt elected politicians that don't have the
people's best interest at heart!
The true "State of The Union" is accurately described by
the words found in 2 Peter 2:19, and is an alert that we have an urgent national priority that is in need of legislation.
2 Peter
2:19 "While they promise them liberty, they themselves
are the servants of corruption; for of whom a man is overcome, of the
same is he brought into bondage."
While running for office, our politicians make promises they don't
keep. They promise freedom from higher taxes, more social programs,
a balanced budget, a better America and more. However, after they are elected into
office, instead of serving the needs of the people, they become
the servants of large corporations and oil companies that "price
gouge" the American people and bring them into economic
slavery. Our government lets this continue because of the
billions of dollars in extra taxes being made off of every
gallon of gas sold and every other over-priced item Americans need and have
to pay for. Our government which is supposed to be "for the
people" is in fact, "against the people". Many family
arguments and even divorces are a direct result of the financial
stress of not being able to survive. With both parents working,
they can hardly manage to pay for gasoline
to get back and forth to work or to pay for child care and buy food to
feed their families. Every quarter, the oil
companies and large corporations are making criminal profits in the billions
of dollars off the backs of
the American people and this is SINFUL!
These same oil companies and major corporations are the sponsors of many
of
the immoral and violent television programs that are causing the moral
decay of our society. The content of many TV programs that now come on
during prime time, is directly against the word of God, and
Christian & Jewish moral
values. Studies have confirmed the negative effects that bad
television programming has had on the minds of our children. 54% of 4-6
year-olds who, when asked to choose between watching TV and spending
time with their fathers, said they would prefer to watch
television. It has been shown that children who watch TV more than 10 hours a week
suffer negative academic effects and the average American child ages
2-11 watches television 20 hours a week. By age 18, the average
American child sees 200,000 violent acts on TV and witnesses almost
20,000 murders, mostly by handguns. 73% of the time the people in TV
dramas who commit violent acts go unpunished. 47% percent of
violent
situations show no real harm to the victims, and 58 percent show no
real pain. Only 4 percent of violent programs show nonviolent
alternatives to solve problems. 80% of Hollywood executives think there
is a link between TV violence and real-life violence. "Television programming", has also had a tremendous negative effect on the lives of teenagers and on relationships between married couples, due to the overwhelming amount of immorality seen on TV shows that promote fornication (sex before marriage) and adulterous extra marital relationships. We must take a
stand and protect our children and families from
such evil and sinful programming and make the entertainment
industry responsible and accountable. Through America's Ballot Box, God respecting Americans can now unite by
taking a stand and saying, NO MORE! |
