KANSAS

  Community Defense Act -

Statewide Regulation of Sexually Oriented Businesses (SOBs)

"Community Defense Act" (HB 2144), would institute statewide regulation of Sexually Oriented Businesses.

Currently, small towns are left to fend for themselves when a Sexually Oriented Business moves into town to set up shop. If these towns attempt to place constitutional restrictions upon these Sexually Oriented Businesses, such as where they may locate or how late they may operate, communities can find themselves slapped with high-dollar lawsuits that they cannot afford – but that the “adult” entertainment industry can. 

Many communities simply do not have the resources to litigate these costly court battles, so the mere threat of legal action suffices to scare them into submission regardless of the validity of the suit.

The "Community Defense Act" HB 2144 would protect Kansas communities by: 

·         Mandating midnight closings for Sexually Oriented Businesses;

·         Prohibiting alcoholic beverages at strip clubs;

·         Instituting standoff distance requirements from churches, schools, and homes;

·         Banning totally nude dancing; and

·         Requiring dancers to remain six feet away from patrons.

 

"The Community Defense Act" has been approved by the Judiciary Committee in the Kansas House of Representatives.  Now is the time to moblize Kansas Citizens because the porn shop and strip club industry is already mobilized to fight against this bill.

The Community Defense Act will promote safe communities in Kansas by imposing constitutional time, place and manner regulations on existing and future Sexually Oriented Businesses thereby reducing the negative secondary effects on our communities.

By signing the Petition on Internet or a written copy you will be urging elected officials to vote in support of a constitutionally sound Sexually Oriented Business (SOB) Bill regulating existing and future SOBs with Kansas. You will also be kept informed by email on the progress of "The Community Defense Act".

Negative secondary effects include increased criminal activity, increased sexually transmitted diseases, decreased property values, increased drug trafficking and general blight. These proven negative secondary effects of Sexually Oriented Businesses on communities continue to be documented and upheld by the courts.

      2009 Praise Report

  With Personal Video Testimonies below
By Arnold Imaging 

The Kansas City 2009 Men of Valor conference held at College Church of the Nazarene in Olathe, KS on January 23 & 24th, 2009 was truly a blessing.  Nine hundred men and women came together on Friday evening for a powerful Men of Valor and Women of Virtue event to learn ways to combat the sexualized culture from keynote speakers Christopher West and Dr. Bob Reccord.

Building upon that excitement, 890 men from 144 churches attended the 5th consecutive Men of Valor conference the following day.  Hungry hearts filled the pews to hear about the reality men face living in today's sexualized culture and how to maintain pure lives.

Stay tuned for information on the

Kansas City Men of Valor and Women of Virtue Conferences

to be held simultaneously on January 29 - 30, 2010

 Remarks from people that attended Men of Valor 2009

"My husband attended the Men of Valor conference last year, which was the beginning of a lot of healing and growth for him and for our marriage.  We attended the Friday evening event together this year and I can't tell you what a pleasure it was to see the joy in his face and his voice that we were there together.  Thank you for all your hard work and for creating the Women of Virtue element to the weekend.  I look forward to next year's conference."

"I attended this conference last year, praying to find connection and accountability to help with my struggle.  I was able to connect to the New Hope group. The difference in my life in attending this year compared to last year is amazing to me.  I thank you for the difference made in my life because I attended last year."

"It was awesome! Great format! Keynotes were super...Diversity of breakout sessions was outstanding (even though it made choosing a challenge). Wonderful opportunity for my son and I to learn together."
