1,500 & Counting

When Moms for Modesty was simply a little post at my now retired Mommy blog, it had reached over 1,500 signatures. Unfortunately, when moving it to Blogger those signatures did not come along for the trip. Because public opinion is more valued en masse I'd love your help in spreading the word. If you're son inclined, please write a small post on your blog to let everyone know that Moms for Modesty now has a new home. Send them to this URL and encourage them to re-sign the petition. I'm sure that if enough of you do so we'll be back up to 1,500 signatures in no time.

Thank you for sharing your hearts & for standing up for our children.

By Request...

I've had so many requests for Moms for Modesty buttons and info that I realized it was time for MM to have it's own page.

My thanks to all of you who have so faithfully supported MM over the past year. Lets continue to spread the word.

The Original Moms for Modesty Mission Statement

Many of you shared your concerns about the current retail clothing trends for little girls and teen girls. The revealing nature of the styles and the slogans which convey attitude or sexual double entendre were of particular concern to you. You also shared your struggle with finding clothing that was stylish and fun, yet modest. Some of you even addressed this issue on your own blogs.

I've created the Moms for Modesty Mission Statement. If you agree with the Statement, please sign it by leaving your affirmation in the comments of this post. This is not an issue that is exclusively Christian in nature, though I am a Christian mom.

It is a parenting issue, a mom issue.

Many retailers, marketing and PR firms review mommy blogs for trends and opinions. If we speak as one we may be able to effect change. Please let your blogging friends know and if you normally don't leave a comment, please leave one now.

Moms for Modesty Mission Statement

• As a Mom for Modesty I believe in common-sense modesty for girls and young women.

• I believe that it is unwise and unfair to taunt boys and young men by permitting my daughter(s) to dress in an immodest manner.
• I believe that true beauty comes from within and I strive to teach my daughter(s) this truth.
• I will loyally shop at retailers that provide girls' and young womens clothing that is modest, affordable and stylish.
