Make Porn a Crime

Click on the image for an explanation of the extreme danger of pornography to Maine.

No other candidate will discuss this.

The sale, distribution, production and consumption of porn must be condemned in Maine law.

Did you know this is statutory law in Maine today?

Instructors of youth in public or private institutions shall use their best endeavors to impress on the minds of the children and youth committed to their care and instruction the principles of morality and justice and a sacred regard for truth; love of country, humanity and a universal benevolence; the great principles of humanity as illustrated by kindness to birds and animals and regard for all factors which contribute to the well-being of man; industry and frugality; chastity, moderation and temperance; and all other virtues which ornament human society; and to lead those under their care, as their ages and capacities admit, into a particular understanding of the tendency of such virtues to preserve and perfect a republican constitution, secure the blessings of liberty and to promote their future happiness. 

What better way to “impress on the minds of the children and youth” that “chastity, moderation and temperance” are important than for the adults, through their government, to make pornography unlawful.  We all already know that it is immoral.  We excuse it’s use believing the lie that a nation that loves liberty allows for porn.

It’s long past time for public policy to change radically on this subject.

I will make that change.
