Washington, D.C.- [One News Now]- Representatives of several pro-family and anti-obscenity groups are in Washington, DC, for a prayer breakfast and formal march to the Department of Justice, where they are seeking action on enforcement of decency laws.

One of the marchers is longtime pornography foe Bill Johnson of the American Decency Association, who feels the past two administrations have not done an effective job of enforcing current law, resulting in a proliferation of hard-core porn.

“The great concern is the hesitancy of the last couple of administrations to investigate and to prosecute hard-core pornography really throughout the country,” states Johnson. “And as a result of the failure of the Justice Department to investigate and prosecute the pornography industry, [the] darkness is growing increasingly dark.”

Johnson knows through contacts with the public that they are waiting for the government to make good on its promise.

“There’s been significant efforts over … the last eight years and even more to leading officials from the Justice Department right up to the attorney general … to engage this great concern regarding obscenity,” he says. “So those efforts have already been brought to bear.”

Johnson notes that the Justice Department did a good job for a while prosecuting what he considers the worst of the worst — child pornographers — but even that seems to be at a stalemate, he says. The agency did prosecute major child pornographers for a time, and some are service prison terms, but Johnson feels porn has been ignored overall.

The Bush administration and the Department of Justice have repeatedly stated that prosecution of porn producers and sellers is a priority. But the public has waited seven years — and Johnson says that is long enough.
