Mr. President:
As a Christian and an IT professional, I ask you not to hold up the implementation of the ability to register a .xxx domain name. The .xxx domain name registration will be good for our ability to filter content. This should be a first step in migrating pornography to a restricted area where "free speech" advocates can have the adult freedom to be wicked all they want, while we can restrict access by minors, homes and those that don't want to come across this trash accidentally.
Your analogy about creating a red light district on the Internet is accurate. Right now we have hookers and porn stars in our public libraries, our schools, our street corner vendors, and our homes. Creating a red light district will draw it away from the public areas and eventually we should be able to restrict it to just those areas.
Please do not hold up this important step in cleaning up the Internet and making it safe again for ourselves and our children.
Thank you,
Walt Robertson, MCSE
