This is not a Republican or Democratic issue, it is about MORALS.

Tell Your Representative: Don't Cover Up for a Child Sex Predator

Americans were shocked to learn this past weekend that a United States Representative, Mark Foley (R-FL), had been sending sexually-explicit e-mails and instant messages to 15- and 16-year-old boys interning in the House of Representatives. But the members of the House leadership -- foremost among them Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert -- were not shocked, because they already knew.

It's become quite clear in recent days that several other high-ranking members of the House of Representatives knew about Mr. Foley's despicable (and possibly illegal) behavior for months -- and took no steps to stop it.

Could it be that the House leadership cared more about protecting one of their own than protecting the safety of their teenage pages?

Tell your Representative that they should convene a special session of the House immediately to get to the bottom of who knew what, and when.

It has also been revealed that the FBI had copies of these email messages in July -- yet failed to act. Why? Was the Bush administration more concerned with protecting a powerful ally in Congress than with protecting children?

We need to get to the bottom of this matter immediately. In March of last year, Congress rushed back into special session to intervene in the case of Terry Schiavo. They should interrupt their campaigning,
return to Washington, and insist on an immediate full investigation and disclosure.

Tell your Representative -- if the case of Terry Schiavo deserved a special session, so does getting to the bottom of who protected a sexual predator in their midst. Click here:
