I fully support Assemblyman Katcho Achadjian: the legal
definition of rape should include getting consent for sex
by impersonation, as mentioned the The Tribune's Jan. 5
front-page article ("Ruling on rape appeal provokes
outrage").
I hope that he will also take the lead in supporting SB 52:
the California Disclose Act. This bill would require
political advertisers (whether they are wealthy
individuals, corporations, or labor unions) to disclose
their true identity, rather than hiding behind some
innocuously-named "political action committee." After all,
if full disclosure is required before sex, then full
disclosure should also be required before someone inserts
propaganda into my mailbox, uses the radio to whisper sweet
nothings into my ear, or seduces me with television spots.
