Over 120 attend "Stop Porn" Forum in Staunton....

It was standing-room only at Staunton City Hall Tuesday night when over 120 concerned citizens turned out to participate in a Stop Porn Forum presented by the Staunton Republican Committee. The meeting was in response to the community's concern over an adult book store that is planning to locate in a neighborhood adjacent to Gypsy Hill Park.

A panel of speakers consisted of Councilman Dickie Bell, Commonwealth's Attorney Ray Robertson (D-Staunton), Dr. Kurt Michael of the Valley Family Forum and Chairman of the Augusta County Republican Committee, former School Board member Andrea Oakes, and Chris Freund (pronounced "Friend") of the Family Foundation in Richmond.

WHSV TV-3, NBC-29, and Bob Stuart of the Waynesboro News Virginian were there to cover the event.

It's late tonight so will have more tomorrow about the details of the meeting.
