What more could we ask for just 5 weeks from the election. The Gossips say find something that deals with sex…..and here it is Mark Foley and the Congressional pages. This might just sweep that nation and get voter’s interest in this election.

This morning George Stephanopoulos said on Good Morning America, “Right now it's a category 3 hurricane and it's picking up steam. Republicans all across the country are getting questions about it. But here's the key question: Did any Republican leaders know about those x-rated emails? If they did, it's game over. The leadership will have to resign. It will cost Republicans control of Congress. As one top GOP aide told me this morning, 'the place will burn down.”

And this afternoon Nick Lampson sent a letter to Ms. Gibbs the write in GOP candidate that asked “ her to join me in calling for the resignation of any member of the Congressional Leadership who had knowledge of inappropriate email and instant messenger communications between shamed Congressman Mark Foley and underage pages working at the House of Representatives. I urged my opponent to donate the funds she recently received from Congressman Tom Reynolds -- who has admitted he knew of the situation and did nothing about it -- and from any others in congressional leadership who had prior knowledge of Mr. Foley's actions to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Now, we find out that the national Republicans are quick to condemn Congressman Foley, but are willing to accept the $2.7 million campaign war chest Mr. Foley has amassed. On Sunday, Carl Forti, the communications director for the National Republican Congressional Committee, said "that the committee would gladly accept Mr. Foley's money or part of it to devote to House races." [New York Times, 10/2/06]

That's despicable.

Please join me in calling on Mr. Foley and the NRCC to donate his $2.7 million campaign war chest to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

I founded the Congressional Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children. This caucus helped create the National Amber Alert and the Customs Cyber Crimes Unit. Last week, we discovered that Congressman Foley hypocritically joined the caucus and even rose to be chair of the organization. Because of my involvement in that caucus, I feel utterly betrayed by these revelations. This is simply disgusting, and the fact that Congressional leaders knew about the allegations and actively worked to cover them up is an outrage. Any member of the Congressional Leadership who knew about these allegations and failed to act should resign from Congress immediately.

These emails and instant messages and the cover up that followed are worse than political corruption. Sitting members of Congress did nothing while a sexual predator preyed on minors working in the Capitol. This is a level of cynicism I never thought I'd see in government. It's enough to make one ill.

And now, the NRCC is publicly courting Mr. Foley's campaign funds in the New York Times. It's outrageous, and it's politics at its lowest”.

Email the NRCC and Mr. Foley today! Demand that they donate his campaign funds to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

I can only hope congressional leaders in Washington do the right thing. Thank you for taking the time.”
