First of all, I don't favor pornography and obscenity but I am against this future bill especially the proposed method to "ram it" through without discussion/debate like the Real ID Act went through this past Winter/Spring in the House.

I hate to say this, first I have been a loyal Republican for many years and financially supported them as well but in 2006, they will not get my vote. My vote will likely go to third party like the Libertarian or even Democrat. The Republican Congress has lost touch such as no longer emphasizing small government and little interference in the affairs of states.

They have not been as aggressive in cutting taxes, unnecessary departments and especially deficit spending. Besides the interference in individual state affairs, this has been the most disappointing part. One plus however is the steps towards eliminating the inheritance tax. That is long overdue.

One thing if I had a say in writing the Constitution is having a third checkpoint besides the Senate & House in approving laws. The last stop before a bill becomes law would require approval of the People as in a "vote" which would be possible today. To make it simple, all bills passed in a given year would be voted on at one time but this also requires an educated public.

i'm disapointed to see so many moralists getting so upset on this thread. i really can't fathom how you could accept the government taking over your own parenting duties. and this isn't a straight republican crusade either - let's not forget tipper gore and joseph lieberman. but anyways - we pick the shows and movies with our daughter and watch them with her and everything works out fine. some people won't stop until we have state approved t.v., sunday school, and uniforms.

I wouldn't mind seeing cable tv cleaned up, especially when I channel surf and come across Howard Stern on the E channel having girls take off their clothes.

How's the pot smoking going?

I hope you weren't expecting a rousing "Small Government, Constitution supporting" response around here.

I for one am thankful we have a government who spends it's time, energy and my money on trying to ensure I and my children are moral people. Without them we'd certainly be watching the porn network 24/7. Thank God for a caring concerned government which is addressing the major issues of our day and not wasting time.
