We at Kids Come First feel that the issues surrounding the protection of our children should be a main priority in the
minds of every decent American. However, some of our legislators are either unaware or unwilling to step up and
recognize the epidemic that is spreading through-out our Nation.
What Happened to the Cyber Safety for Kids Act of 2006
It is with our deepest regret
to inform you that ICANN the Internet Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers has voted to reject the implementation of
the .xxx Top Level Domain (TLD) for use with pornographic websites. The failure of this proposal has had an adverse affect
on the Cyber Safety for Kids Act of 2006 (Senate Bill S.2426) thus altering its approach. ICANN voted against the proposal
because it would force ICANN to monitor content (something they don’t do now) and that it would not achieve its goal
of protecting children. We adamantly disagree! Click below for more information.
March 30,2007: Internet Oversight Agency ICANN votes against the XXX Domain Name for Porn Sites
The Cyber Safety For Kids Act 2006 Senate Bill S.2426 was merely a common sense approach that in our opinion, did not infringe on First Amendment
Rights or Free Speech. It adhered to everyone's rights and allowed for the basic principles of democracy that exist in
the freedom of choice. Some believe that moving pornographic material to a .XXX domain designation will not stop
the pornographic industry from enhancing their presence on the world wide web and we agreed! It would be naive to think
that the pornographic industry would just disappear. Again, the alternative of doing nothing and not allowing
at least a freedom to choose would be ludicrous, unproductive, and
at the expense of children.

Cyber Safety for Kids Act Re-introduced
Senator Max Baucus (MT) and Senator Mark Pryor (AR) have re-introduced
the Cyber Safety for Kids Act. Although it has changed in content it is a prime example of the
determination of these two gentlemen to persevere in the light of adversity. Their commitment to the safety and protection
of our children is without question. Our organization is proud to be in support of their ongoing efforts. We would expect
all members of Congress to follow their lead.
Please visit the Press Release link
below for a look at the “New" Cyber Safety for Kids Act introduced by Senators Baucus and
Pryor.
