Romney will enforce obscenity and pornography laws
Distribution of obscene or hardcore pornography on the Internet is a violation of current federal law. Existing obscenity laws also prohibit distribution of hardcore pornography on hotel/motel TV, on cable/satellite TV, and in retail shops. But these laws are obviously not being enforced. Mitt Romney has said he will change that. The following article is from Forbes online.

The Obscenity Police Are Coming

“They want to put me in jail, basically.”
That’s how porn director John Stagliano responds when I ask him what he thinks of the 2012 GOP platform, in particular one newly added sentence:
“Current laws on all forms of pornography and obscenity need to be vigorously enforced.”
Two years ago, Stagliano was sitting in a Washington, D.C., courtroom, charged with seven counts of distributing obscenity.
Today, he’s a free man, after federal court judge Richard J. Leon “dismissed with prejudice” several of the counts and for the remaining counts “granted the defendants’ motion for judgment of acquittal under Rule 29.”
But an anti-porn crusader says Mitt Romney has vowed if he’s elected president, he’ll ramp up obscenity prosecutions, a task President Obama has shown little interest in pursuing.
