Where does your Presidential candidate stand on obscenity laws?

Morality in Media Action Alert-August 20, 2008

Dear Friends,

Friends have provided us with a list of links for the following Presidential candidates:

America’s Independent Party (Alan Keyes): contact@alankeyes.com
Constitution Party (Chuck Baldwin): chuck@chuckbaldwinlive.com
Democratic Party (Barack Obama): http://my.barackobama.com/page/s/contact2
Green Party (Cynthia McKinney): http://www2.runcynthiarun.org/TalkBack
Libertarian Party (Bob Barr): http://www.bobbarr2008.com/contact/form/?type=4
Ralph Nader: http://www.votenader.org/contact/
Republican Party (John McCain): http://www.johnmccain.com/Contact/
I also learned about yet another Presidential Candidate, Steve Adams, running as an Independent. He can be contacted at: steveadamsgm@gmail.com

If you haven’t done so already (or haven’t gotten an answer yet), please contact the Candidate(s) of your choice and ask them where they stand on enforcement of federal obscenity laws.

Here is some suggested language (long & short versions):

Despite the fact that there are federal obscenity laws on the books that have been upheld by the Supreme Court, hardcore pornographic materials continue to proliferate, especially on the Internet. Among other things, obscene materials tarnish our national image, destroy marriages, and corrupt children. They also contribute to sexual exploitation of children, to trafficking in women and children and to rape. What is your position on enforcement of federal obscenity laws? If elected, will you do all in your power to see that these laws are vigorously enforced? The American people deserve an honest answer to these questions.

What is your position on enforcement of federal obscenity laws? If you support enforcement, will you nominate an Attorney General who supports vigorous enforcement of these laws? I would like an honest answer to these questions before I vote.

Sincerely,

Robert Peters
President of Morality in Media
