During the Victorian era movement, in the 1850s, England passed the first laws against pornography. The laws did not stop the prolific spread of pornography and may have actually increased demand. In the 1970's and 1980's, the extreme feminists took up the banner of the anti-porn movement. Their approach was bellicose and divisive and focused on passing laws that were eventually found to be unconstitutional.

Learning from the past, Fight the New Drug takes a non-legislative, non-judgmental approach. We recognize an individual's right to view and produce pornography, however, once they are educated on the harmful effects of pornography we believe they will choose to avoid it. We only wish to educate about the negative effects of pornography on individuals, families, and businesses.

In our research, we've found that many people, especially Americans, automatically assume that the anti-pornography movement is at odds with First Amendment freedoms. Under that perception, people are asked to weigh the importance of free speech against the damaging effects of pornography. Fight the New Drug rejects this perception and we will position ourselves as anti-porn, pro-free speech.

Fight the New Drug's message is based on science and facts. In a sense, science is an international currency. We explain why porn is harmful by educating people about the negative psychological and physical reactions it causes. We do not affiliate ourselves with any religious groups or political agendas.

This movement is the result of many years spent developing ideas and researching the effects of pornography. Taking a fresh approach to the issue, we're a non-profit organization dedicated to help the young generation educate itself with the facts on pornography. We hope you will join us in this fight.

RYAN WERNER

Ryan's contagious enthusiasm for people, relationships and physical health fits right in with the mission statement of Fight the New Drug. One of those kids who gladly gobbled up his vegetables and washed them down with a tall glass of soy milk, Ryan makes the rest of us look bad with his health nut ways. But even level headed Psychology majors have their irrational fears. In Ryan's case it's horses and the ocean. Which means he runs inland triathlons, but stays clear of quadathlons, with their terrifying equestrian segments. Despite these oddities, Ryan's a natural spokesperson for our cause, and his background makes him a valuable asset to the scientific side of our operation.

BEAU LEWIS

Beau is our bean counter. When it comes to crunching numbers and pushing projections we are in good hands with Beau behind the wheel. What most people hate to do Beau executes with flying colors. His only downside is only having 9 fingers which makes counting to 10 a bit challenging.

CLAY OLSEN

Whether in film, music, business or projects like FTND, Clay is a sucker for the entire creative process. He gets just as fired up at the drawing board as he does with finding ways of getting the finished product out there. He loves working with teenagers, mostly because he still feels like one, and looks for any opportunity to get in front of them. Known for working on things bigger than himself, Clay loves teaching and getting involved in good causes. With a background in marketing, business, and film he wants nothing more than to see FTND succeed in its mission.

CAM LEE

Possibly due to his crowd-pleasing sound effects and misinformed impersonations (Chewbacca is one of his specialties, probably because he's never seen Star Wars) Cam is a people person. His networking genius and relationship savvy are an indispensable asset to the FTND team. In fact, if we're dying to get in touch with someone impossibly out of our reach, we'll casually mention to Cam that it's too bad he'll never meet that person, he could probably learn a lot from them. More often then not he'll be having lunch with him or her the next day, picking their brain and ordering whatever on the menu has the most avocado. How does he do it? Is it something in those avocados? Until we figure it out, and probably after, we'll be keeping this guy around.
