President Bush created the National Do Not Call Registry, a tool that will help ensure that telemarketers respect the privacy of our nation’s citizens. It will allow people to limit most unwanted telemarketing calls by registering their home or cell
phone numbers. The service comes at no expense to the taxpayers. Unauthorized and unwelcome email, commonly known as spam, interferes with efficient and effective business and family communications. We support efforts to address this growing problem.

School, libraries should ban porn from their computers
We endorse legislation pending to require schools and libraries to secure their computers against on-line porn and predators if they accept federal subsides to connect to the Internet.
This is not a question of free speech. Kids in a public library should not be victims of filth, and porn addicts should not use library facilities for their addiction.
