DEMAND Hastert's Immediate Resignation

SEND THEM A MESSAGE THAT HASTERT HAS GOT TO GO

ACTION PAGE: http://www.peaceteam.net/pnum528.php

In response to his indefensible handling of a known child predator in their
midst, Dennis Hastert whined today that liberals were out to "get to me". Isn't
that just so precious? Little Denny Hastert is now the REAL victim in all of
this, not the children exposed to the abuse of Mark Foley because of Hastert's
own complicity.

The fact is that Foley began making inappropriate advances to underage pages
from the day he entered Congress in 1995, and the Republican leadership knew so
much about it that, as reported by the Washington Post, they were warning the
pages to stay clear of Foley from day one.

Hastert today says "we took care of Mr. Foley" by asking him to resign. Of
course that's exactly what he told John Boehner, "it had been taken care of",
when fresh allegations surfaced 11 months ago, which Boehner at first admitted,
then denied, then admitted again. This has been common knowledge among the
Republican leadership for 10 years, it is only the Democrats and the American
people who have been kept in the dark. So for Mr. Hastert "taking care of"
something MEANS to sweep it under the rug yet again, all the while Foley is
paying off the National Republican Congressional Committee.

President Bush yesterday said we should still trust Hastert because he is a
"father". What parent would not aggressively move to investigate such
inappropriate overtures which they knew all about? What parent would be lulled
into inaction by concerns that it "might have affected campaigns". It NEEDS to
affect campaigns alright, starting with the resignation of Dennis Hastert.

Even the reactionary Washington Times has called for Hastert to go immediately.
A liberal media conspiracy indeed! Is there no craven hypocrisy too depraved
for the current Republican leadership to swallow? Tell them to take some
"personal responsibility". Tell Hastert to resign.

This alert is brought to you by the activism of James Wright, running for
Congress from the 8th district of Texas. James has shared his production of the
new Lie/Die spot with other candidates, and there are now 10 candidates who have
produced their own versions, confronting the Bush administration on their Iraq
lies.
