Who/what exactly is the "No on Government Waste Committee"? What do they do other than what they're doing right now with Measure B? Do they exist only in California or is it a Federal thing? Google is of no help.
They are only in California and were organized to fight Ballot Measure B. They are made up of a coalition of parties - the FSC, VICA, Manwin. They are staffed by;This is what I found out about James Lee --> http://adultbizlaw.com/?p=947 I havent researched Burnside or GSSR... Michael

twocentsworth would seem to be an alt-ID (or new-ID for a "former" member), created solely to post anonymously in this thread and the Syphilis thread. Arguing nonsense with true industry insiders who know what they're talking about, would just be a bonus, as far as no-cents (i.e. no sense) is concerned. Thank you for your important contributions to our little community, Michael.
Glodstein & Killbill - thank you ! I try to get out information so people can be informed... Here's two new videos from the No on Govt Waste Committee... Videos: No on Ballot Measure B starring Steven St. Croix - Two videos on why you should vote No on "Condoms in Porn!" http://adultbizlaw.com/video-no-on-ballot-measure-b-steven-st-croix/ Michael
Michael, these are great articles and videos being posted on adultbizlaw.com They are very informative and explain whats going on. The voters need to know the facts and know the real agenda of AHF. All this should be used by the committee to get the word out and inform people. I hope all these articles and vids will be sent to every news station, newspaper, and news website in the county. Try and get these so called journalists to do a story on this for tv or a newspaper.
Thank you... I know that local LA news reads my blog. I have been interviewed & linked to in the past by HuffPo, Daily Beast, Daily Dot, LA Weekly, CNBC ect et al...So they know its there. If they want to interview me they will contact me. I cant force that... AHF told me they read my blog as well... So hopefully it will get more exposure in the coming month and will be used as a reference/research source for local media/news but they will probably go to FSC/No on Govt Waste to get their side. Im just trying to inform without bias or an agenda. I am against Prop 35 and Ballot Measure B but I try to educate first and convince second. Michael AdultBizLaw.com
Posting this because I saw it on the front of AVN "Conservative 'Daily Caller' Publishes Anti-Measure B Editorial" Politics can make for interesting bed fellows, but I think there is a smaller-government/regulation sentiment out there among some in he electorate that can be used to the advantage of those in opposition to the measure. http://business.avn.com/articles/legal/Conservative-Daily-Caller-Publishes-Anti-Measure-B-Editorial-490353.html
Here's one perspective on the debate on the front of the opinion section of the latimes today by op-ed columnist Jim Newton. Newton: Porn, safe sex and Measure B
We are finally getting some support ! Now if the public knew more about how this isnt just a porn industry law... Doing cam shows from home w/ a spouse/BF/GF/cam partner in LA County ? Well the condom law applies to you too! http://adultbizlaw.com/what-you-need-to-know-condoms-in-porn-law-and-camming-part-1/ Just like 2257 it applies across the board... Michael
Most people in this country probably don't even know about this. And they probably won't until it passes and they start wondering what the hell ruined their porn.

pornlaw, this avn article claims that Measure B in addition to mandating condoms, would also mandate additional protective measures, and I was just wondering if it is true? "Under Measure B, it would require adult film producers to provide, and to insure their employees actually use, "appropriate ... equipment such as, but not limited to, gloves, gowns... face shields or masks and eye protection... mouthpieces... pocket masks, or other ventilation devices" where "reasonably anticipated skin, eye [or] mucous membrane... contact with potentially infectious materials" such as "semen, vaginal secretions... saliva... [or] any other body fluid" might occur. You know, like kissing..." Would this mean things like condoms for blowjobs? Female Condoms for cunnilingus? Goggles for facial popshots? Heck could a popshot land on any part of exposed skin at all? These would basically be OSHA guidelines for a lab am I right? Has weinstein talked about this? It would seem this is the avenue you may want to take or question if this is indeed true. Or if it is true an effective ad may be to have a billboard showing a man and woman embracing while donning the full protective regalia. Either way, regardless of one's position on the measure, I do hope the underlying facts are presented to voters, whatever they may be.
Ballot Measure B makes references to the Cal-OSHA reg section 5193 that does actually require all those things... Though Cal-OSHA has proposed revised regs that only reference gloves and eye protective gear (in addition to condoms and dental dams). Not sure if that means googles or not. And yes condoms would be required for BJs under the old Cal-OSHA regs but not the proposed new ones - if certain testing requirements are met. So quite honestly B is very confusing but the AVN article you read is factual/legally correct. Michael

Don't suppose anyone knows or even cares, but when I have not sent out forum "rants" to adult film directors for their continual refusal to recognize the sexual "charge" a great many men get, just in seeing sexy, shapely porn stars, dangling long, smoldering cigarettes between their luscious lips, in both porn feature and gonzo productions, I coined the term "con-dumb," long before it became a "button slogan" by the adult film industry. Should anyone care to check this fact, go to the many posts I made, looooong loooong ago, when the proposed mandate was in its "infancy," so to speak. I am pretty sure, then, that "condumb, was "picked up" by "some" industry "movie and shaker," who claimed it as his OWN, after reading one of my rants, in which I wrote, "it is just plain stupid,for what I like to call, CONDUMBS, to be required on male adult film performers,already tested more often than lab rats at UCLA." As for the "borrowing," thats ok with me, just as long as one of the most LUDRICOUS proposals ever made by the County of Los Angeles is soundly defeated, and I can always take great pride in knowing that MY coined term may have played some part in its demise.
"Great," at least I now know, who "borrowed" the term from me, since my posts here on this forum, using the term, "condumb," predate Ms Falcon's article, by quite a bit, should you want to check, "porn law," and btw, I like your input on proposed measure B, and the negative effect it would have throughout the adult film industry, if passed--Certainly, the business will survive, but, imho, it will be just the "beginning" of a long train of restrictions on the people producing and making adult films, designed to eventually, drive the industry out of LA County, entirely.

^ No just not condom in porn but for G/G movies too,here what you can find out. Now that bout blowbangs, creampies, cuckold, or ever footjob scenes too.
It's amazing to me that what two consenting adults choose to do with each other sexually is even a debate in this country. Or I should say that what is really interesting is the fact that they can ban basically anything. It just depends on how they package and sell the ban. They're not calling it "censorship". They'll call it "workplace safety" and they know all the little drones of the world will fall right in line regardless of what they say they believe regarding censorship, free speech and sexual freedom. Everything has a backdoor (no pun intended). If anything, the human mind is much easier to hack than any kind of computer software. You start with the really stupid people (of which there are many), push all the right buttons and their bleating will eventually drown out the "debate". Anyway, this is your sexual freedom being eroded. Enjoy. Edited by - randomprecision on 10/26/2012 2:48:30 PM
What now? Is that supposed to be a rhetorical question? I would say you should go and drown your sorrows with a 32 ounce soda but we don't want to give them anymore ideas.

Fuuuuuuuuuuck! Porn is gonna suck soooo bad now! And so much for my impregnation fetish getting up there done by the right pairings! :( And no more cream pie porn. Damn. Cream Pies been my fav since I saw Candace Von do one. Edited by - EthanConner on 11/7/2012 6:44:34 AM
I wish I could have voted. and to answer ur question, I sadly assume Yes it only needs 55% to pass because anything 51% or more is more than half. And more than half is always the majority.
1st, it was always going to pass. Do you think the voters are going to study the details of every ballot measure? It sounds perfectly reasonable to Joe and Jane Public. 2nd, let's see how things play out before everybody in pornland loads up the moving van. It's definitely bad news, how bad remains to be seen.
seems unconstitional to me, I think if they fight it in court they might have a good chance. How can you go in someone's house or other private property and tell them if they are having sexy with a video camera with an intent to distribute then they have to wear a condom? What if someone is fucking and records it with their iphone? If they put it on the internet, have they then broken the law? Also it seems impossible to inforce. Keep it on a closed set on private property and say you shot in San Deigo. You think police will really spend their time looking for porn shoots? Edited by - Anomander Rake on 11/7/2012 10:55:05 AM
