10 - BALDWIN'S PORN PROTEST

Actor Stephen Baldwin is waging a war against pornography after discovering a store that sells sex films is opening just a mile from his home in New York State.

Born again Christian Baldwin has vowed to stand outside the store in Nyack every day and take photographs of the license plates of anyone who visits it.

He then intends to publish a list of all the store's workers and customers in a newspaper advert each month - in a bid to force the business to shut down.

The USUAL SUSPECTS star - who unsuccessfully protested the business' application to open last summer (05) - says, "I won't stop until it shuts down. I don't want it this close to my house. I'm personally not OK with pornography. I definitely think that it adds to the moral decay or our culture."

The 39-year-old fears the store, which will include movies, books, magazines and video booths, will attract crime, lower property values and reduce the quality of life for those in Nyack - where he has lived for 10 years.

So far his protest has been given the all clear by local police. They report Baldwin called them on Friday night (13JAN06) to report store staff harassing him for taking photographs.

Sergeant GERARD O'CONNOR says, "He's just out there expressing his opinion. He's more than free to do that."

Baldwin, who became a Christian on September 11, is the youngest of the acting dynasty that includes brothers ALEC, WILLIAM and DANIEL.
