Members of Congress who oppose privacy rights will be asked whether or not they have ever participated in an adulterous affair, and whether or not they have lied about it. The group is concerned that the Kenneth Starr/congressional investigations into the president's sex life are having a negative impact on privacy that will affect ordinary citizens. "This whole sad affair is the product of decades-long disrespect for privacy, for which our political leaders are responsible," said Evan Hendricks, Editor and Publisher of "Privacy Times," and one of the organizers of the group. "This effort is intended to arrest the free fall of privacy rights triggered by the stunning abuses of power by the Starr investigation and the Congressional dissemination of personal information," said James Love. Today, No Privacy for Privacy Hypocrites distributed a survey to Members of Congress asking: 1. (A) Is consensual, non-commercial sexual conduct by adults in private ever a proper subject for government inquiry? (B) Do you believe that any branch of government should investigate allegations that elected officials may have participated in an adulterous affair, including allegations that they may have lied about it? 2. If you answered "yes" to (A) or (B) in question (1): (A) Have you ever participated in an adulterous affair? (B) If yes, have you ever lied about it? 3. Do you think that any public official who has committed adultery and lied about it should resign from public office? Survey responses will be placed on the web at: http://www.noprivacy.org, as soon the surveys are returned. -0- /U.S. Newswire 202-347-2770/ 09/28 18:17 Copyright 1998, U.S. Newswire ----------------------- NOTE: In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. section 107, this material is distributed without profit or payment to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving this information for non-profit research and educational purposes only.
