Talk Dirty To Your Elected Officials I want you to
Let’s face it: Sex & politics go together. (OK – usually in a bad way …)  But, not always …. What do you  think  Jefferson meant by  “ life, liberty and  the pursuit of happiness ” ?!?!
We’ve all heard the expression “ as American as motherhood…” By  definition  that includes  sex And that’s a good thing!
Remember when sex was part of  Our brand, our national identity? A healthy sex life just seemed so  American Good for you!
Maybe it  went too far. Now – the pendulum has really swung the other way.
Now people say that SEX IS BAD
With the exception of Viagra, everything about sex is SO BAD  that we shouldn’t pass laws or spend tax money on anything encouraging  it.
Teaching kids about birth control or how NOT to get an STD? BAD Sex ed?
Take it from these guys … Over 85% of women use it …   but taxpayers shouldn’t fund it?   Contraception is bad.
1 in 4 women has used our contraceptive, STD testing, cancer screening services … yet PP is  BAD
Well, so what? What do you care if elected  officials think sex (etc.)  is bad? (Except for their own, of course.)
$1.5 Billion on abstinence-only sex ed Well, it’ll cost you … taxpayers have spent over Which doesn’t work.
And what is “abstinence only” costing our daughters? sons?
[object Object]
Imagine the cost of no Planned Parenthood? Could you get the health care you need if our  health  centers  closed?
We ALL pay when elected officials won’t touch it…
We have to make sex normal again.
95%   of Americans have  premarital  sex by the time they’re 40   Sex  IS  normal … That’s as true of people born in  the 1940’s as of people born today.
Ask! So sex ed that gives kids the info they  need for healthy decisions is GOOD. Are they  spending your  tax dollars  wisely?
Tell elected officials: No more wasted abstinence  only money Fund smart, comprehensive sex ed
Pharmacies should fill our birth control prescriptions IMMEDIATELY No questions No delays No lectures
Show Planned Parenthoodsome love! Tell elected officials: it’s ok to spend tax $ protecting women’s health!
Most of all… be safe Not just who you sleep with … who you  vote  for too!
Remember it’s your Patriotic duty:
TALK  DIRTY to your elected officials! about your healthy normal American sex
Thank you! Nevada Advocates for Planned Parenthood Affiliates NevadaAdvocates.org

Editor's Notes

  1. Whatever happened to this idea? Which, BY DEFINITION, includes sex (Yes I know they’ve updated the sex & apple pie link, but that’s not what I’m talking about).
  2. Sex used to part of the American identity and culture, our BRAND if you will. A healthy sex life just seemed SO AMERICAN
  3. OK … Maybe it got a little out of hand … BUT NOW the pendulum has REALLY <div xmlns:cc="http://creativecommons.org/ns#" about="http://www.flickr.com/photos/saxonmoseley/73822602/"><a rel="cc:attributionURL" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/saxonmoseley/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/saxonmoseley/</a> / <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/">CC BY 2.0</a></div>swung the other way …
  4. The national conversation is that sex is very bad. So bad that we should MAKE SURE no tax dollars EVER go to anything that might mean people are HAVING SEX.
  5. Like birth control or comprehensive sex education. It’s ok to spend tax payers dollars on abstinence ONLY ONLY ONLY education though
  6. Birth control is bad …. The pill kills, you shouldn’t have access to bc or ec, and we should take ALL money for family planning out of the federal budget because, we don’t want to encourage people to have SEX. (IGNORE the fact that we’ll pay 40 times more for them to have babies though).
  7. Planned parenthood … yep: bad (Nice trademark infringement, by the way)
  8. SO? Do I care? WHAT does that cost me? Well to START – we’ve spent over $1.5 B on abst. Only sex ed. And there’s $80 M in this year’s federal budget for it. PLUS kids abstinence only have sex at the same time, but are less likely to use condoms or birth ontrol.
  9. How about the cost to our daughters? (SONS apparently get a free ride.)
  10. Cost PP hurts women – imagine a world without PP, where elected offiicals got to dictate your birth control choices
  11. Elected officials won’t touch it … remember the viagra question that derailed the straight talk express? unless WE start talking about it and NORMALIZE sex – american style – what do you say? WE HAVE TO NORMALIZE SEX >>>>
  12. And sex, even premarital sex, IS NORMAL. That's right. According to theGuttmacher Institute 0 95% of Americans, by the time they've reached the age of 40, have engaged in pre-marital sex. And that’s as true today as it is of people born in the 1940s. SO what do we say So, I'm sure you're surprised to hear it ... but we like to have sex. And I'm all for that! But go to any legislature, visit congress, and review the laws of any state,Nevada included, and you'll get a completely different view. We can fix this and make sure our laws reflect our ACTUAL bedroom behavior -- I'm here to ask you two things: > Get Outraged! > Talk Dirty!
  13. You have a right to know what they’re teaching … SO ASK …. Tell your legislators you want our kids to be safe and healthy and have the info they need to make responsible decisions and stay that way
  14. There’s $95 million in the budget for abstinenece only … nothing for comp sex ed.
  15. Demand laws the require pharmacies to fill legal prescriptions, make sure Emergency Contraception is available in pharmacies, and YES tell your elected officials you’d rather your tax dollars went $300/year for bc instead of $12,000/year for Medicaid pregnancy related costs.
  16. Buy our condoms, make an appointment, make a donation – and TELL people you love us! Say you think it stinks to SINGLE out one nonprofit to DEFUND. (Or nominate your own for defunding) Buy our condoms, make an appointment, make a donation – and TELL people you love us! Say you think it stinks to SINGLE out one nonprofit to DEFUND. (Or nominate your own for defunding)
  17. Protect your self … not just in bed – but also at the ballot box
