A week after its online premiere, AlyTV will feature Adult Sites Against Child Pornography executive director Joan Irvine as the main guest, when Irvine appears Thursday, April 29, at 12 noon PDT.
Irvine said AlyTV founder-host Aly Drummond has supported ASACP pretty much out of the gate. "She mentions ASACP whenever possible, and considering the number of panels, shows, and her presence on the boards, she has done an excellent job of increasing ASACP visibility," Irvine said. "But Aly didn?t stop there - she has been on the ASACP Advisory Council since its conception. I am honored that she invited me to be on her second show."
Among other topics and subtopics, Irvine could well discuss results from her current trip to the Free Speech Coalition's annual Lobbying Days in Sacramento, which was due to include Irvine meeting with a representative from California Attorney General Bill Lockyer's office.
