RESTON, VA (November 9, 2009) - As former Senator of Pennsylvania, I remain passionately involved in issues that concern American families. And as a Dad, I know firsthand the challenge of trying to raise good kids in a culture saturated with offensive media that undermines the values Karen and I want to instill in our kids.
America’s children spend an average of 4 hours a day watching TV and on the Internet. Contrast that with the typical 15 minutes a day kids spend talking to parents or the weekly hour in Church. The media’s power to shape our children’s hearts and minds is staggering.
As I travel across the country, parents ask me, "Isn't there something that can be done so we can watch the shows we want to watch without exposing our children to scenes and commercials we don't want them to see?" The answer is "yes."

After I left the Senate, I joined Mpower Media, an independent company founded by Steve McEveety (producer of The Passion of the Christ) and Ken Ferguson (former Chief Operating Officer for National Geographic Television). Mpower's unique vision is to give parents the control over TV and Internet content according to their own standards, so that families can enjoy popular shows--without the offensive scenes or commercials.
Imagine. No more erectile dysfunction commercials during football games. No more surprise sex scenes or graphic violence. No more offensive scenes or websites. Children can watch the popular shows they want, and parents get peace of mind, confident that their children are protected—even when they are not there.
This 2 minute video shows the difference Mpower can make for families and our culture. Please feel free to post this video on your website and get the word out to your readers that we are very interested in hearing from them—they can contact us through our website.
