The Bush campaign shares a commitment to enforce obscenity laws. The Clinton-Gore administration has a lamentable record regarding enforcement of obscenity laws. A Syracuse University report found that obscenity prosecutions have decreased 86 percent since Clinton and Gore were elected. At a recent adult porn conference, attorney Paul J. Cambria spelled out what he saw was the difference between the two parties. The proclamation in question was the one issued by the Governor in support of AFA of Texas' Pornography Awareness Week.
Pornography degrades and dehumanizes our fellow human beings.
It has no place in a decent society. The United States Supreme Court has ruled that obscenity is not protected as free speech. The State of Texas is committed to enforcing laws against hard-core pornography. I urge local communities to join us in sending a clear message that pornography is not welcomed in the Lone Star State. Part of this year's campaign included MIM encouraging its members to write both Bush and Gore, asking them to articulate what their federal obscenity law enforcement policy would be.
