I'm Mort Meier, Democratic opponent of House Majority Leader "Tobacco John" Boehner. With your help (and continued GOP incompetence, greed and malfeasance) we'll defeat John Boehner in November.

The past week's revelations of a Congressional sexual predator and his Republican protectors have starkly revealed the motives and priorities of the Republican leadership. According to ABC News, as far back as 11 years ago, the aberrant and illegal behavior of former Republican Congressman Mark Foley was known among some of the Congressmen and staff of the House. Congressman John Boehner, whose own daughter had served as a House page, knew of this outrageous behavior for months and failed to provide the effective leadership demanded of his position as House Majority Leader, as a Congressman, and as a father. John Boehner helped protect a sexual predator in a desperate attempt to help the GOP remain in power. How can we ever trust John Boehner to do the right thing again?

The continuing corruption and incompetence of this administration hit a new low on Friday when Congressman Mark Foley resigned in disgrace after admitting to sending sexually explicit messages to underage staffers. John Boehner, Dennis Hastert and others knew about this aberrant and dangerous behavior for months, and possibly years, and did nothing. John Boehner should step down immediately from his position as Majority Leader, and should be voted out of office on November 7th.

John Boehner and other GOP excuse-makers will offer carefully parsed statements that say nothing, while blustering loudly but dragging their feet until after the election. They will call for an investigation of Foley, but not of themselves. The American people will not tolerate sexual predators, nor will they tolerate those who protect sexual predators.
