Free Speech Coalition (FSC) is heartened by a significant development today as both the L.A. Times and the Daily News newspapers have endorsed the No on Measure B campaign.
“The L.A. Times and the Daily News reach one million readers in L.A. County. Having the endorsement of these and several other local publications sends a clear recommendation to voters to vote no on Measure B,” said FSC CEO Diane Duke.
“We are very grateful to the industry members and experts that stepped up to meet with these publications as spokespeople for the local adult production industry,” Duke added.
Industry members, experts and local representatives that met with the Daily News editorial board include performers Steven St Croix, Kayden Cross, Wicked Pictures owner Steve Orenstein, Cutting Edge Testing’s Dr. Peter Miao, Valley Industries and Commerce Association (VICA) President Stuart Waldman, and No On Measure B Media Director James Lee, as well as FSC’s Duke.
Additionally, the meeting with the L.A. Times editorial board was attended by performer Nina Hartley, Vivid Entertainment founder Steve Hirsch, VICA President Stuart Waldman, attorney and FSC chair Jeffrey Douglas, FSC’s Duke, and No on Measure B’s Lee.
“FSC wants to thank everyone that helped to represent the adult industry at the meetings with these important publications,” Duke continued. “Because we were able to explain the industry’s concerns and the serious flaws with Measure B, we have gained these important endorsements. Thank you!”
Measure B, the Los Angeles “Safer Sex” initiative, requires adult performers to use condoms and other forms of barrier protection on production sets and – if passed – would force County officials to implement elaborate enforcement protocols with a new County agency for adult production inspection. FSC and the adult industry stand in opposition to this flawed scheme, citing cost to L.A. taxpayers and warning that Measure B would drive the adult production industry from the Los Angeles area.

Editorials Both Cite Measure B’s Potential Negative Economic Impact and Ineffectiveness
With a combined circulation of just over one million people, the No on Government Waste Committee applauded editorials in both the Los Angeles Times and Los Angeles Daily News opposing Measure B, the so-called “Safer Sex” initiative on the Nov. 6th ballot in Los Angeles County, which cited its potential for causing the loss of 10,000 jobs and $1 billion in tax revenue and economic activity with little or no benefit to public health and safety.
“The two largest newspapers in the county looked at every aspect of Measure B and carefully examined both sides arguments and arrived at the same conclusion: Voters must reject Measure B and vote no,” said James Lee, communications director for the No on Government Waste Committee. “We are deeply gratified that both newspapers looked at all the issues and carefully weighed them and realized that this is much more than simply using condoms. It’s about public health, government effectiveness and economic impact.”
The Times in its editorial cited the potential economic costs, as well as the potential for an unworkable and unenforceable government program of inspections and permitting.
“Yet we should care, not necessarily because porn should be embraced but rather because it is an integral part of the entertainment industry that represents many jobs and a large part of the Southern California economy. Even if there are only a few hundred on-camera performers, porn is estimated to be a $1-billion to $2-billion industry, employing thousands of sound, lighting, stage, technical and other crew members and post-production workers in between gigs in more-mainstream film and television productions,” The Times said.
“Measure B then falls into the category of ‘Let’s pass it and see what happens.’ That’s a bad way to make law because it puts government, or voters, on a track toward regulating all kinds of conduct without any hope of enforcing the requirements fairly and equally, and that in turn undermines the power of government.” The Times concluded.
In the Daily News editorial, the newspaper also cited the economic impacts, but also agreed with the industry’s contention that the risk to public health was minimal when compared to the general population.
“In fact, an infectious disease specialist who works with the adult film industry says performers have lower infection risks. Dr. Peter Miao says that’s because porn producers require performers to be tested at least once a month, and the industry responds to any performer’s positive test by voluntarily shutting down production until they’re sure the infection is contained,” The Daily News said.
“The porn industry claims to have a relatively safe record: It says nobody has contracted HIV on a porn movie set in the United States since 2004. Closer to home, another number may change the minds of those who picture porn performers representing a sizable population whose sex activity poses a public health risk worthy of county officials’ attention: The adult film industry’s trade association says that despite the image of Southern California and the San Fernando Valley in particular as the porn capital of the world, only 280 porn performers actually live in L.A. County year-round,” The Daily News added.
The Times and Daily News join a growing list of business groups, community organizations, political parties, women’s groups and health advocates in opposing Measure B. The editorials were also carried in the Torrance Daily Breeze and Long Beach Press Telegram newspapers.
No on Government Waste Committee

AIDS Healthcare Foundation’s latest billboard attack on the adult industry appears to be Michael Weinstein’s attempt at irony, but actually betrays his campaign’s real purpose – to attack adult entertainment, under the guise of “protecting performers.” Using the No ON Measure B logo may seem like a provocative strategy on AHF’s part, but what it really shows is AHF’s total lack of knowledge around the adult industry.
Because if Weinstein and his AHF cronies had any real contacts within the adult industry – not just disgruntled, paid former performers, but actual working members of the industry – he would know that many of the “pornographers” he is vilifying with his efforts are also performers themselves, or started in the industry as performers.
The people that Weinstein is denigrating with his message are the same people he professes to “protecting” with his third party, big money, special interest campaign to drive the adult industry out of Los Angeles County. Behind AHF’s misguided rhetoric, there is a presumption that, somehow, “pornographers” are coercive, dishonest and law-breakers.
But the real truth is that the adult entertainment industry in California is the most scrutinized, most regulated sector of the adult industry in the world. In fact, adult film producers are as compliant and law-abiding as possible – not only because they are honest business people – but also for fear of becoming the easy target of ultra-conservative, anti-adult activists that push their moral agenda by bashing porn.
AHF spreads misinformation and skewed statistics about the rates of STIs in the adult industry when, in fact, if a single performer contracts HIV, it makes headlines from Los Angeles to Mumbai overnight. Any STI exposure incident that threatens the performer population causes an immediate halt of production, until the situation is contained and addressed by appropriate medical providers.
AHF would like you to believe that condoms – which are NOT 100% effective against STIs – are much more effective than the regular performer testing protocols that has been in place since 1998. In fact, since 2008, there have been nearly 7,000 new HIV cases reported in L.A. County – but only two of those were adult performers, both of which reportedly contracted the virus off of a production set.
The Centers for Disease Control have reported that most HIV infections are the result of people that don’t know they’re infected. Nearly a quarter of those that have HIV never test, so they don’t know they’re infected. In that context, you’re much better off having a fling with an adult performer, than with someone you meet in a bar on Saturday night. Because performers test every 14-28 days – they KNOW they’re status, and if they aren’t healthy, they can’t work. The industry has successfully implemented mandatory testing since 1998.
In fact, former performer Derrick Burts – now AHF’s favorite posterboy – says that he contracted HIV on a CONDOM-ONLY gay production set. Burts also says that he managed to contract chlamydia, gonorrhea and herpes during his THREE months as a performer – but he doesn’t say that he advertised on a gay escorting site, or that he has been paid $7,000 to appear in commercials for the Yes on Measure B campaign.
Contrast that with current performer Steven St. Croix, who has been in the industry since 1992, performed in nearly 2,000 scenes and says that in his career, he contracted chlamydia ONCE.
The truth is that if Los Angeles voters approve this seriously flawed, unenforceable initiative into law, it will result in millions of dollars in litigation, with both the adult industry and AHF likely to take action against the County of Los Angeles. It also will cost the area thousands of jobs and up to $1B in economic activity.
It will result in a new bureaucracy to send “condom police” to hunt down adult production sets that will have no choice but to flee underground or to other areas – while programs that need funding are slashed to bare bones.
And it will endanger performers by forcing them to areas where there is less or no regulation, in order to compete with content producers and performers from Europe, Asia and other locations worldwide.
Lastly, if Measure B is approved by voters, it won’t stop or even slow the spread of HIV and other STIs. The only thing that will do that is adequate education, resources and outreach to the most affected, under-served populations where STI rates are spiking – and that’s NOT in the adult industry community in Los Angeles County.
That’s the truth. If you plan to vote on the L.A. County ballot on Nov. 6, we encourage you to consider what’s really at stake here, and to not be fooled by AHF’s secret agenda.
And now, some campaign spots – each of which were produced voluntarily, without paid actors, by actual members of the adult industry that feel that their jobs, livelihoods and rights are threatened by Measure B:
The Performer Subsidy Fund will send its first round of subsidy checks to performers today. Performers that tested during the month of September and had test data entered into the Adult Production Health & Safety Services (APHSS.org) database system can look forward to a subsidy of $101.00 per performer panel test.
“We are so glad to be able to offer this first-ever subsidy to performers,” said Free Speech Coalition CEO Diane Duke. “We want to recognize Manwin for initiating and the program and their ongoing financial support, as well as Evil Angel and Kink.com for their contributions. It is through the generosity of these producers that the Subsidy Fund is possible. It’s a wonderful example of how the industry can work together to provide needed resources and uphold high standards in the workplace.”
FSC administers the Performer Subsidy Fund on behalf of contributing producers.
Subsidies for regular performer testing were initially scheduled to be delivered in September but were delayed due to the syphilis exposure incident. However, with the help of the Performer Subsidy Fund, nearly 1,000 performers were treated and/or tested for syphilis. In addition, the TREP-SURE™ EIA syphilis test has been added to the regular performer test panel at APHSS.org facilities, as a result of events.
In order to receive a test subsidy, performers must be registered in the APHSS.org database system and also have supplied a mailing address to Julie@freespeechcoalition.com. Subsidies are then dispersed to those performers, according to test data entered into the APHSS.org database over a month-long period (from the first-to-last day of the month). Subsidy amounts will vary, depending on the amount of contributions to the Fund and the number of performers that test each month.

Adding to the groundswell of opposition building against Measure B, the so-called “Safer Sex” initiative on the Nov. 6th ballot in Los Angeles County, the Republican and Libertarian Parties of Los Angeles County both joined in announcing their opposition to the controversial ballot initiative.
“With the Republican and Libertarian Parties both announcing their opposition to Measure B, the truth about this ridiculous proposal is finally getting out and voters are beginning to see what the consequences will be for taxpayers and public health should Measure B pass,” said James Lee, communications director for the No on Government Waste Committee. “As ballots are being mailed out this week to voters, they can read for themselves the arguments and come to the same conclusions both parties did in opposing this measure.”
Lee also noted that the Democratic Party of Los Angeles County declined to endorse the initiative as well, meaning that no major political party in the county has endorsed Measure B.
“The absence of support for the Measure B is deafening,” Lee said. “We also have the support of the largest business group in the San Fernando Valley and 22 chambers of commerce throughout the county in opposition to it. We are confident as more voters read the arguments, more of them will do likewise and reject it.”
According to the California Dept. of Public Health, from June 30, 2008 to June 30, 2011, there were 6,447 new cases of HIV reported in Los Angeles County, but only two were adult performers, both of whom did not contract the disease on-set. Since 2004, there have been no documented cases of HIV transmission on an adult entertainment set.
Measure B, funded and placed on the ballot by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, would require the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health to license and permit adult movie productions in the county and require performers to wear condoms and create an unworkable system of on-set inspections and enforcement by county personnel. The county estimates initial start-up costs for the program to be in excess of $300,000, but acknowledges that regardless of the level of compliance by the adult film industry, there would be significant cost to the Department of Public Health.

The industry professional membership is valued at $50 and is good for one year. Portions of the evening’s proceeds will go to benefit the No On Government Waste – No on Measure B Campaign.
“I have been a FSC board member more than a decade now,” said event organizer Mara Epstein. “Performers have always been an important part of FSC – and now that we are fighting for performers’ right to choose whether or not they use condoms on-set – we want to allow performers this one-time opportunity to become members and join FSC. By participating in the industry trade association, performers have a voice on issues like testing.
“FSC has fought many battles on the behalf of the industry, going back to when most current performers were still babies,” Epstein added. “The time has come again, for all industry members to work together and keep the California industry from being attacked by our opposition.”
Naughty gift baskets will be filled to the brim with videos and sex toys for the live auction, and some great items also will be raffled. Gift baskets and prizes have been provided by Adam & Eve, Topco Sales, Vivid Entertainment, Penthouse, Hustler, Evil Angel Video, Monarchy Films, Severe Society, Dirty Hot Products, Eldorado Trading Co., La Jolie Salon of Beverly Hills, Jeffrey Lehman of KB Collection, Edwards Lowell of Beverly Hills, Diane Duke, Kim Ayers, David Bertolino and Maia Toys, among others.

AIDS Healthcare Foundation gala at The Abbey in West Hollywood, CA, celebrates a new program using one-minute INSTI™ HIV test
While guests and celebrities such as Glee’s Dot-Marie Jones and E! Entertainment Television host Charlie David are being feted at a gala party at The Abbey in West Hollywood tonight, the No on Government Waste Committee, opponents to Measure B, the so-called “Safer Sex” initiative on the Nov. 6th ballot in Los Angeles County, applauded the AIDS Healthcare Foundation for advocating the importance of frequent testing in controlling the spread of HIV.
“We are heartened that AHF has put such an emphasis on frequent testing to help control the spread of HIV. It’s only through the frequent and thorough testing of performers in the adult film industry that we have been able to maintain a zero infection rate on-set since 2004,” said James Lee, communications director for the No on Government Waste Committee. “Organizations from the World Health Organization to the National Centers for Disease Control to AHF have long maintained the importance of frequent testing and counseling in controlling the spread of HIV.”
According to the California Dept. of Public Health, from June 30, 2008 to June 30, 2011, there were 6,447 new cases of HIV reported in Los Angeles County, but only two were adult performers, both of whom did not contract the disease on-set. Since 2004, there have been no documented cases of HIV transmission on an adult entertainment set. In fact, with the industry’s strict testing protocols – requiring testing at least every 14 and 28 days for HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis – adult performers are the most tested workforce in the nation.
“Even though passage of Measure B significantly raises costs to the county and potentially cripples community health programs, we are hopeful AHF would publicly commit to divert more of its ample government-funded resources to better serve African-American, Latino and economically disadvantaged communities where, according to the Los Angeles County Dept. of Public Health, sexually transmitted diseases are on the rise,” Lee added. “In fact, maybe they can donate the convertible Fiat 500 being given away by Santa Monica Fiat to a community clinic in Southeast LA that is underfunded.”
Measure B, funded and placed on the ballot by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, would require the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health to license and permit adult movie productions in the county and require performers to wear condoms and create an unworkable system of on-set inspections and enforcement by county personnel. The county estimates initial start-up costs for the program to be in excess of $300,000, but acknowledges that regardless of the level of compliance by the adult film industry, there would be significant cost to the Department of Public Health.

(l-to-r) Attorney and FSC Board Chair Jeffrey Douglas, VICA Chair David Adelman, VICA President Stuart Waldman, and adult industry performers James Deen, Stoya and Tanya Tate
This morning, at a press conference held in the Burbank offices of adult company Manwin, the Valley Industry and Commerce Association (VICA) gave its formal endorsement to the NO to Government Waste campaign to defeat Los Angeles County Ballot Measure B. The measure, if approved, would require adult film productions to use condoms, gloves, goggles, dental dams, protective gear and other exposure protocols while making adult films.
Measure B, which has been spearheaded by HIV nonprofit organization AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), is an exceedingly irresponsible example of government overreach that will ultimately drive thousands of jobs and up to a billion dollars in annual economic activity out of the Los Angeles area.
In this quote from AVN Magazine, VICA Chair David Adelman said, “In order to stem the tide of businesses that have left our region, and to encourage businesses within our region to grow and prosper, VICA believes that our politicians should be bending over backwards to make Los Angeles County as business friendly as possible.
“Well, the politicians sure have missed the boat with regard to Measure B,” Adelman continued. “Measure B is yet another regulation in search of a problem and will make Los Angeles County even less business friendly than it already is. At a time when growing the economy and growing more jobs is imperative, Measure B is precisely what Los Angeles County doesn’t need. Should Measure B pass, we expect to see thousands more on the unemployment lines, and billions of dollars sucked out of our economy, and as a result, VICA is strongly in opposition to this measure, and is one of the key business organizations who’s now dedicated to promoting the business across Los Angeles. We need to stand up to this overreach of government regulation and oppose Measure B.”
Adult industry performers Stoya, Tanya Tate and James Deen also appeared at the press conference to express their outrage over the proposed regulations.
In this quote from XBIZ Magazine, Deen said, “The idea of restricting our ability to make choices of our own is insulting, it is rude and frankly, it’s unconstitutional,” Deen said. “We’ve had zero HIV transmissions in over eight years. There’s no other community in the entire world where you can find that. Adult industry sex is as safe as you can possibly get.
“You have a group of people, all tested regularly, all engaging in sexual activity with one another,” he added.
Free Speech Coalition opposes Ballot Measure B and the relentless anti-industry attacks carried out by AHF in what they claim is an attempt to “protect performers.” The organization recently launched their own campaign for Measure B, highlighted by TV ads featuring paid actors Darren James and Derrick Burts as their spokesmen.
FSC would like to express special appreciation for Deen, Stoya and Tate, who appeared at this morning’s press conference voluntarily, in order to express their strong opposition of Measure B. There has been a great outpouring of industry support for the No On Government Waste – No to Measure B campaign. FSC would like to urge the voters of Los Angeles to learn the facts about adult industry self-regulation and performer testing, and VOTE NO on Measure B. At a time when necessary programs and services are being cut from the city budget, we know that voters do NOT want tax dollars spent on bad legislation and “condom police.”
Stoya and Tanya Tate said that Measure B was “insulting” and deprives them and other performers of choice in matters regarding their own bodies and livelihoods
Deen speaks to the media and members of the public
The Free Speech Coalition is pleased to introduce the “No on Government Waste – No on Measure B” campaign staff.
Planning with our campaign manager for the potential ballot measure began early in 2012 with the committee officially coming together in July. During that time, campaign staff and committee members have worked tirelessly gathering and analyzing polling data, developing communication and fundraising strategies, soliciting donations to build the campaign infrastructure and preparing for the launch of the campaign.
Senior campaign staff includes:
Sue Burnside, the “No on Measure B” Campaign Manager is the Founder and CEO of Burnside and Associates.

In 2008 Burnside & Associates achieved a perfect 100% win record for both their Political and Corporate Clients. In 2009, Burnside & Associates was proud to announce a 100 percent win record for their Corporate Clients. In 2010, they scored a 90% win rate for their clients. They kicked off last year with Rep. Janice Hahn’s historic first open primary Congressional election in California and ended it with solid wins for their political, corporate and municipal clients.

“We couldn’t be happier with the people who are coming together to fight this ballot measure,” said Diane Duke, Free Speech Coalition CEO. “This issue is non-partisan, and it cannot be broken down by traditional demographic lines. We have assembled an exceptional team of experts that can reach all parties and bring us to a win.”
Free Speech Coalition (FSC) announced today the launch of a campaign against the AIDS Healthcare Foundation sponsored measure mandating condoms in the adult film industry in LA County — Measure B.
No on Government Waste, a broad-based coalition of business organizations, entertainment companies, community activists and healthcare advocates announced the campaign launch this week to media outlets nationwide.
The campaign has polled likely voters in LA County to determine their position on Measure B.
“There is a clear path to win this campaign,” said Diane Duke FSC CEO and No on Government Waste committee member. “The key will be to educate voters about the harm to performers and the taxpayer expense that comes with this flawed measure.”
Los Angeles County estimates the initial start-up costs for the inspection and permitting program would come to more than $300,000 per year in administration, salary and benefits for county inspectors, but with Film LA, Inc., the film-permitting arm for Los Angeles County, estimating less than 480 permits issued for all adult film shoots, the program could start losing money from its launch.
Measure B also stipulates standards for conduct on sets during filming that could require actors and film crew to wear gloves, goggles and lab coats.
“The people of Los Angeles County can think of a lot better uses for the time of first responders, county health inspectors and other government personnel than hanging around an adult film shoot checking for condom usage,” said James Lee, spokesman for the No on Government Waste Committee. “Measure B is seriously flawed and is going to cost taxpayers money and cost them critical health services.”
No on Government Waste Committee
The Committee is comprised of entertainment companies, local business organizations, community activists, adult entertainment performers and healthcare advocates who oppose Measure B’s plan for creating an underfunded government inspection program diverting badly needed resources from local community clinics and under-served minority communities. The Committee will be launching its online program, which will provide additional information to interested voters.
