Have you had enough?

HinesSight has found an interesting You Tube campaign ad which asks the question, "Have you had enough?" This time the question concerns Hastert. The video was put together by the campaign for Mark Laesch, the Democratic candidate for Hastert's seat.

Brian Ross, ABC News reporter, said that he has been contacted by other former congressional pages. I'm sure there will be more news today.

According to a speech given by former Rep. Mark Foley, he mentioned he took some of the congressional pages out to dinner. This crosses the line. There should be rules that are strictly followed by members of Congress and the rules should include---

1. A member of Congress or congressional staff members may not take congressional pages to dinner, in their cars, on trips, or anywhere outside of the halls of Congress.

2. A member of Congress should not send e-mails, text messages, or Instant Messages directly to the pages.

3. A member of Congress should not be alone with any Congressional page.

4. Any and all infractions must be reported to the Clerk, one Democratic member, one Republican member, and the Ethics committee.

>>Looks like the pages knew about Foley. Zenoferox has an interesting posting about some congressional pages.
