From the FREE SPEECH COALITION
John Ashcroft, of MO. has just been selected as Attorney General of the
United States. The moderates on the Short List for AG (John Danforth and Marc Racicot) turned Bush down. Even Keating of Oklahoma turned him down. That left the one really conservative man on the list. Bush didn't dare drop Ashcroft, because he had thrown no bones to his Religious Right backers. So we have an Attorney General from Hell!
WARNING
We can expect new and vigorous obscenity prosecutions using the same tactics used a decade ago by the other Bush administration. Sources in Washington tell us these could start within a month of the Inauguration. Please, heed this warning!
In addition, be sure that you are in compliance with every part of the labeling law. Consult a qualified attorney. If you don't have one, call us at 818-348-9373 and we will direct you to one. You can absolutely expect a dramatic increase in unannounced, warrantless searches.
INTERNET members should be especially wary. Internal government memos strongly indicate that adult sites and adult webmasters will be prime targets for a wave of prosecutions.
RETAILERS AND DISTRIBUTORS should check inventory for extreme or niche-market products that might be targeted, i.e. the types of material that might be a problem for conservative elements and/or law enforcement. We are not advocating that you be a censor, just be smart about what is in your own best interest.
Please contact us if you are having problems.
The sooner we know the more likely we can help or advise.
