ACE Needs You.           You Need ACE.

At last, we have a voice.

For nearly as long as the adult entertainment industry has existed, gentlemen's club owners have been the convenient targets of ambitious politicians posturing for votes, crusading community "leaders" who stereotype all clubs as the embodiment of evil, and religious extremists hell-bent on imposing their own narrow view of morality on society. We have suffered attacks from all sides of conservative America.

However, for a variety of reasons, the adult club industry has never been able to organize and present a united front against these challenges to its existence. As a result, clubs have been forced to face such costly battles alone, without the benefit of crucial knowledge regarding similar struggles elsewhere. What's more, because most attorneys are not First Amendment specialists, well-meaning lawyers representing gentlemen's clubs may take the wrong approach in lawsuits without understanding the full ramifications of their position.

Those days are over. Now we have a trump card against all threats to our future. Now we have ACE.

ACE, the Association of Club Executives, the national trade organization for gentlemen's clubs, was created to serve a growing network of state and regional chapters from coast to coast. Incorporated as a 501.C6 trade association, ACE, in partnership with the First Amendment Lawyers Association (FALA) and the Free Speech Coalition (FSC), has some of the finest legal and strategic minds in America at its disposal to defend the industry in First Amendment battles and unwarranted assaults on its right to operate. ACE also provides vital information on voter registration, political organizing and other issues of relevance to club executives.

Any club executive (an owner or manager of a gentlemen's club) can join ACE. All ACE members receive an impressive list of benefits, including:

• Subscription to a regular ACE newsletter, faxed or e-mailed directly to you, updating members about legal and organizing developments across the country;
