Rep Calvert Attacks Right to Privacy

The Right to Privacy is a fundamental right of all Americans.

The anti-abortion conservatives have claimed that there is no Constitutional Right to Privacy. Their goal is to overturn the Roe v Wade decision, which invoked the right of privacy to overturn state abortion laws.

Congressman Ken Calvert is pro-choice on abortion, but opposes taxpayer subsidies of abortion. This stand is similar to that of the Libertarian Party. Despite his pro-choice stand on abortion, Congressman Calvert is committed to destroying your right to privacy.

Congressman Calvert has voted to maintain the Draft Registration System. He has voted to require every young American male to register with the Federal Government, and keep the Federal Government informed of his address at all times. This despite the fact that there is no draft, and no shortage of volunteers for the military. Ken Calvert for his part has not served in the military.

Congressman Calvert has proposed the creation of a National Computer Data Base which would list every person who has a legal right to be in the United States. Calvert's proposal would require employers to verify the legal status of potential employees by checking the Database.

Calvert claims a concern about illegal immigration. But the effect of his National Data Base proposal would be to destroy the privacy of every American citizen.

Vote Libertarian to protect your privacy.
