Another letter has been sent to Marriott Hotels asking that pornography be removed from its in-room televisions. This one carries the signatures of almost 50 pro-family leaders — including Dr. James Dobson, founder and chairman of Focus on the Family.
“We’re asking Marriott to discontinue showing the in-room porn movies," said Don Wildmon, founder of the American Family Association. "Very simple. It’s not a big request.”
At least two other letters from pro-family leaders have been sent, with similar messages.
Wildmon said the move would cost Marriott millions of dollars in lost revenue, but the company can handle it.
"They’re not a company that’s hurting financially," he said.
Daniel Weiss, senior analyst for media & sexuality at Focus on the Family Action, said the letters keep the pressure on the hotel chain.
“The people in that letter are trying to talk to Marriott," he said. "They’re trying to engage in a dialogue, and that’s the first part of any action.”
Also signing the letter were Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, and Bishop Harry Jackson.
