Most prominently, as many of you know, Carol Leigh (aka Scarlet Harlot) was on the Bill O'Reilly show. Unfortunately he did not give her much time to address the issue, as she had to spend most of the scant time he let her talk during the segment trying to counter his insistence on regulation. Some of Carol's facial expressions as she's listening to O'Reilly blather on are priceless! Here is the link she posted, which also has a short segment from our press conference featuring independent congressional candidate Cindy Sheehan giving her support:

Annoyingly, they also provide a link to SAGE, and do not allow comments on this story:

Also, unrelated to our effort but worthy of note, is a story from April about an attempt to legalize prostitution in the country of Kyrgyzstan:
