TX-22 Lampson petition-give Foley $ to Nat Cen for Missing Exploited Child
http://ga3.org/campaign/donate_foley_money

Today, I sent a letter to my opponent asking her to join me in calling for the resignation of any member of 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."

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 Exploited Children.

1. Damn right! Go Nick!
As an ex-pat Texan I sometimes despair of hearing of honorable homeys. Thanks, Nick.

2. Seems like the right thing to do.
So, of course, they won't. They need that cash...bad.

3. Sounds like a no-brainer to me....but then, I'm quite ethical
when it comes to distributing a phedophile's war chest back to the victims.

5. That is kind of weird.
It is still better to have NCMEC get the money than a bunch of stinkin' Repubs.
