Quotes from a few friends:

• Steve Allen (deceased), comedian, author, composer and former "Tonight Show" host
  "There is no doubt that our entire culture is experiencing a moral breakdown. People can get more family-friendly movies on film and television by supporting the Dove Foundation."
  
• Cardinal Roger Mahony, Archbishop of Los Angeles
  "I hope more video outlets and distributors will utilize the Dove Seal so that the film industry and parents can form a partnership promoting wholesome entertainment for the families."
  
• Dean Jones, actor / producer
  "We need a national conscience telling those of us in Hollywood where the boundaries of decency are to be set. People should look for the Dove Seal on videos whenever they rent or buy them. It means they won't find any unsavory surprises."
  
• Michael Medved, film critic, author of "Hollywood vs. America", radio talk show host
  "Hollywood is assaulting the fundamental cherished values that most Americans hold dear. This is particularly evident in their hostility toward the traditional family. The Dove Seal is a very welcome friend of the family, guiding parents to the kind of wholesome entertainment that so many of us are longing for."
  
• Lisa Whelchel, actress
  "For good or bad, movies definitely effect the way we think and act. The Dove Foundation is helping families everywhere select films that are safe for family viewing."
  
• Ken Wales, executive producer film & television
  "Films send a message and I believe they have been sending the wrong message. Films and television both reflect and influence morals in our society. We need more parental choice in entertainment. People should ask for movies with the Dove Seal at their video stores."
  
• Ralph Winter, producer, X-Men, X2: X-Men United
  “The Dove Foundation performs a valuable service for those of us working in Hollywood. They dig for the facts and show us trends for reaching the values-based audiences that are under-served. Dove’s findings are regularly referred to by producers seeking financing for values-based products.”
  
• Dr. Laura Schlessinger, author and broadcaster
  "Three cheers for The Dove Foundation, whose tireless efforts in favor of high-quality, 'clean' entertainment are benefiting us all."
