I also rise to support the Child On-line Protection Act. In the Greenwood house, we have a small room. It is the playroom. And as my two little daughters, Laura and Katy, have grown up, it has been kind of fun to watch the transition of the toys in their playroom. When we got our computer, we put it in the playroom, figuring that as time goes by and they grow, they will shift from the toys and spend more time with their studies and computers. At any given time, I can walk in the playroom and see one of my daughters on the computer and another playing with her dollhouse or maybe some of her toys inspired by Disney movies. The terrible problem is that if my daughter sits at the computer and types in a word like 'dollhouse' or 'toys' or 'Disney' even, she could find herself at the direct access to pornographic sites. The Communications Decency Act was our first effort to try to stop this problem, a problem that every parent in America wants us to address.
