Robert Peters, president of Morality in Media, however, says the United States has "failed miserably" in protecting juveniles from pornography.
The Supreme Court has handed down a ruling against the Communications Decency Act of 1996 and the Child Online Protection Act of 1998, which would make it a crime for commercial Internet sites to make pornography available to minors.
For Crouse, the fight against pornography is not a matter of legality but of enforcement.
"Obscenity is illegal and has been since 1973," says Crouse. "The problem is that state prosecutors and United States attorneys cannot prosecute unless violators of the obscenity laws are brought before them."
Peters has sent a letter to presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama, urging them to state their support for vigorous enforcement of federal obscenity laws.
"If elected president, will you nominate individuals to serve as attorney general, director of the FBI, and US attorneys who will enforce federal obscenity laws?" asks Peters in the letter.
The backers of WRAP Week are asking people to complain to businesses that distribute pornography, write letters to the editor, distribute information to the community, educate community leaders about the negative effects of pornography, contact their state prosecutor and US attorney to complain about violations of state obscenity laws, and ask state and local legislators to curtail "sexually oriented businesses".
WRAP supporters are also encouraging pastors to preach about pornography as sin in their sermons this week.
"Our pastors need to preach about the 'wages of sin' regarding objectifying women and sexualising children," states Crouse in her latest opinion piece.
"Religious institutions should also be at the forefront of efforts to make persons of all ages understand that from a 'faith perspective,' viewing pornography is morally wrong (sinful, if you will) and that use of pornography is destroying countless marriages and contributing to other harmful sexual behaviour," says Peters.

Morality in Media has sample sermons on its Web site that address the issue.
