Subject: The media creates the culture and the culture elects the politicians!
 The media creates the culture and the culture elects the politicians! Perhaps you have seen the incredible media bias this election with reporters and their bosses trying to manipulate the outcome. We at Movieguide® know how to change the negative direction of the mass media of entertainment but can't do it without your help! As this election has shown, we need to act now to stop our cultural degradation. By joining us, you can make real change happen. Click the link to make a difference! The more media watched, the more liberal the viewer The more media your children, grandchildren, and friends' children watch, the more liberal they become. In fact, according to a recent poll reported by another media pundit, heavy TV viewers are up to twice as likely to believe in socialism and atheism. Also, a recent study by Cornell University showed that 70% of children today will leave the Christian values and faith of their parents. We have the tools at Movieguide® to help the youth maintain the values and faith of their parents in the face of the media's onslaught against our values. Church left Hollywood because of financing and the culture degraded
For 33 years from 1933 to 1966, the Church redeemed the values of Hollywood, which entered a Golden Age of success and power. Before 1933, American culture entered a decadent phase, a phase that ushered in the Great depression. That all changed when the Church became active again in Hollywood. In 1966, however, the church left Hollywood because of budgetary constraints. Look what happened after that – movies went from 100% G rated to 81% R rated, and the wonderful SOUND OF MUSIC turned into the Satanic cries of ROSEMARY'S BABY! You can help us change our culture! Redeeming the Values of Hollywood Again We are making a difference in the media industry. We have accomplished great things in the movie industry during the past 30 years. Recently, the Walt Disney Company decided to produce movies with action but no violence, romance but no sex, and dialogue but no foul language, mostly because of our Annual Report to the Entertainment Industry. We need, however, to begin making the same difference in the television industry, which has begun releasing its shows on the Internet to a media-savvy youthful audience. Influencing culture through a youth pastor initiative and media-wise curriculum
We need to do more to help and protect children from media tyranny. Movieguide® has the tools, and the desire, to get these tools into the hands of children and their parental and faith-based guardians and teachers. Therefore, we are planning to provide a Media-Wise Toolkit for youth pastors and develop a Media-Wise Curriculum for teachers, tutors, church educators, and homeschooling parents to help them train their kids to be media wise. Many parents have found that children who grow up on Movieguide®'s Media Wisdom maintain the faith and values of their parents. We need your help now, however, to greatly increase this outreach to America's children and grandchildren. Today's technology has allowed the media to infiltrate our public schools, not just our homes. This has made every media-wise person's job that much harder. Please make your most generous gift today!

"I believe this situation is urgent—especially for dads! We have to stand up! We know from the research that a father's involvement makes a positive difference in his children's educational achievement, so we should consider ourselves a big part of the solution. We have to get involved, starting with day one in kindergarten, and impress upon our kids how important their education is. Our commitment has to be more than just words; it should be evident in our presence, our involvement. In our economy, education is a huge factor in the opportunities our children will have. We need to be aware of what's going on in our children's schools, and we need to be involved in what's going on in their education—at school and at home. If they have plans and dreams about the future, we need to be there to help them make those plans and dreams come true. In the context of
