If I am fortunate enough to be elected President, I will insist on vigorously enforcing federal anti-pornography laws. MIM members have also written us to say that they did not receive a letter from the Gore-Lieberman campaign. We therefore call upon Presidential candidate Al Gore to respond to requests from citizens and make clear what his policies on enforcement of federal obscenity laws will be if elected. The Constitution requires that the President shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed. At the same time, the States also have a vital role to play in curbing traffic against illegal hardcore pornography.
Pornography presents young people with a false and distorted image of human sexuality.
Pornography promotes sexual violence and other anti-social behavior in an era of increasing sexual violence and sexually transmitted diseases. Pornography is commonly used by pedophiles to desensitize children and break down their resistance to sexual acts. Vigorous enforcement of the Federal and State obscenity laws is the best defense we have against this toxic cultural pollution. The new President, the new Attorney General, and the States must act before the porn industry and its supporters transform our still great nation into the next Sodom and Gomorrah, he said.
