Over 130 Metro churches were joining forces to take on 32 businesses they said are destroying families.
The 134 churches said the businesses violate Kansas and Missouri obscenity laws, but are these items really obscene or protected by free speech?
Erotic City in Kansas City, Missouri and the merchandise sold inside is one example of stores church leaders say are violating state obscenity laws and they say those laws do not protect obscenity as free speech.
That's why they're asking six county grand juries to investigate these businesses for selling porn.
"The law is already there," Philip Cosby with the National Coalition For Protection of Children and Families said. "The obscenity statue is already in place. It's just a matter of enforcement, the legislature has done its work. We're simply doing our part."
All store managers FOX 4 talked to on the list of businesses declined to talk on camera. The store owner of Rays Over 21 said over the phone that they've been in business for more than 35 years and have always followed the law.
Church leaders here said they want action they say will protect families.
"Sex created by God is a good thing, but in the covenant of marriage. Outside that institution there are devastating consequences that come," Cosby said.
The group of churches started a petition drive to present to the county prosecutors, hoping to spark an investigation. So far the group has collected more than 20,000 signatures. FULL STORY

WTF??
When I see things like this I wish we had the British system where, if you lose, you pay the court costs of the winning party. Is it just me or is this blatent harrasment by abusing the legal system to force people out of business? Have you heard of this type of thing happening before?
