* CALLING ALL KOSSACKS
* TAKE ACTION - REPORT FOR DUTY**
If that hypocritical dipsh*t Brent Bozell can muster 90,000 angry parents calling the FCC about Janet Jackson's breast, we can surely muster MORE firepower to provide real protections to our children's safety. The Republicans actually booed mother and grandmother Nancy Pelosi for asking for a counted voted to support a bi-partisan investigation; let's make sure the House Republicans understand that this attitude and behavior is completely unacceptable, that they cannot continue with business as usual, putting children at risk and insulting parents' representatives who ask them to do an adequate job of oversight.
CALL OR FAX THE HOUSE LEADERS AND ETHICS COMMITTEE MEMBERS and ask them to establish a BI-PARTISAN investigation committee IMMEDIATELY to investigate the facts behind Rep. Tom Foley's conduct and House Leadership's response. Nothing less will do since Republicans have already covered up this scandal.
* ACTION ITEMS *
- Tell them you want a BI-PARTISAN investigation of Representative Foley's conduct and the House leadership's response;
- Tell them you demand the results of the investigation made public;
- Tell them you demand corrective and punitive actions outlined and detailed within 10 DAYS in public and all actions taken within 30 DAYS (November 1, if you like, but be specific about a deadline);
- Tell them you want legislation under the 110th Congress requiring any and all entities providing databases on children for the purposes of assisting law enforcement to require security auditing and all persons affiliated with their organization to have background checks. (That includes the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.)

Lastly, send a Letter to the Editor in your Congressional District if you have a Republican Congressman. Demand the same from them, and ask them why they are not doing more to protect children from predators within their ranks. You can use the Media Guide at Congress.org to find contact information to send LTE's to the papers in your district.
We need to rain down a hailstorm on the folks that brought this mess upon us with a complete disregard for the defenseless ones.
If you were p*ssed off about torture, you should be just as p*ssed off about this. The kids involved had little recourse and were as ignored as the detainees in Gitmo, nor did they have the knowledge and maturity to defend themselves.
