I am writing to you as a concerned citizen of Massachusetts regarding what is being called 'The Anti-obscenity Initiative' by the Justice Department. News reports I am reading concerning this initiative suggest that the FBI has agents surfing the web for photos (and other media) of consenting adults engaged in not only actual sexual acts but posed in a way to suggest sexual acts, even though none are engaged in. I would like to openly express my criticism of the direction that The Justice Department is taking. While I feel that community standards are well within the people's right to enforce they should be done so on the community level, not regulated or enforced on the federal level. The population of The United States of America is too large and diverse for something of this nature to be blanket enforced on everyone.

The past few years has shown me to be getting some what more concerned that those people in power take too much of an interest in what the citizens they are supposed to represent are doing in their private lives rather then concerning themselves with the over all economic, environmental, and diplomatic health of this country. I would like to suggest that those of you in our federal government who have been chosen to represent we the citizens of this nation take initiative to have the federal government no longer try and regulate what are currently called 'victimless crimes' doing so just infringes upon the rights and privacy of the people you represent.
