Conservatives Unite!

Conservatives Unite! We need to write to our RNC and Republican Lawmakers in Washington and tell them to exploit the ethics investigations against four Democrats like they did our elected Officials four years ago over the Abramoff Scandal, remember then house majority leader Tom DeLay? and Rep. Bob Ney from Ohio? Then there was Rep. Randy Cunningham who was convicted of taking $2.4 million in bribes and resigned his office in 2005. Or the two lawmakers with questionable sexual orientations, Mark Foley and Larry Craig. The Democrats pounced upon these five individuals with everything they had until all were either removed from office, or resigned.
 
Now we have a new crop of Lawmakers, this time Democrats all, who need pouncing upon very, very hard... First we have (from oldest to newest ethics charges), NY Rep. Charlie Rangel is being investigated by the House Ethics Committee in completely four different areas, including, 1.) his reported failure to properly report income taxes on a Caribbean villa in the Dominican Republic; 2.) use of four, rent-controlled apartments in Harlem; 3.) questions about an offshore firm asking Rangel for special tax exemptions; and, 4.) whether Rangel improperly used House stationery to solicit donations for a school of public affairs named after him at City College of New York.

The second Democrat, Penn. Rep. Jack Murtha, is facing a federal probe for purportedly steering defense appropriations to clients of KSA Consulting, which employed his brother Robert, and the PMA Group, founded by Paul Magliocchetti, a former senior staffer on the Appropriations Committee Subcommittee on Defense.

Third, there is California Sen. Dianne Feinstein charged with devising legislation that helped her husband get a federal contract to sell foreclosed properties at compensation rates higher than the real estate standards. Of course Sen. adamently denies any wrong doing! Fourth, and last we have another Californian Democrat, Rep. Jane Harman who is accused of offering to help seek reduced charges for two pro-Israel lobbyists suspected of espionage in exchange for help from a pro-Israel donor, also suspected Israeli agent, in lobbying House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to give Harman a key chairmanship.

If we can rally the support to force resignations of these four, plus elect Rob Simmons over Sen. Chris Dodd in Conneticut, get Jim Tedisco of NY into Congress over his opponent maybe we will stand a chance of taking back the Legislature in 2010. Of course it would be ideal to have Minnesota's Norm Coleman back too, but it looks more and more bleak for his return, what a great loss!

This then is the mission, write, email, phone, ask our duly elected Republican Lawmakers to force the issue on these ethics charges until action is taken... (How long has the charges against Rangel and Murtha lay dormant?). Write to the RNC Chairman, Michael Steele and ask him to incite enthusiasm and support for an election rally in California, Pennsylvania, Conneticut, Minnesota, and New York. We can do it fellow Conservatives and Republicans! Lets go...
