Dear Mr. Soros,
We write to invite you to come to the House of Representatives to meet with a group of Members of the House who are interested in your views in several important current topics. We admire your dedication to the ideals of an open and fair society, and we appreciate your willingness and ability to draw lessons from your own considerable economic success in the private sector of how we can best proceed with public policies that promote economic growth and social equity both here and the rest of the world.
We have been particularly troubled by the McCarthyite attacks that have been made on you by some American politicians, including colleagues of ours, who have gone far beyond the reasonable bounds of civil discourse
in their efforts to discredit you. It is of course logically not possible for us to apologize for the defamatory innuendo aimed at you by others, but we think. in light of this, it would be particularly appropriate for you to come to the House for a discussion of important
public policy issues, both for the substantive value of those discussions, and because we believe it is important that the practice of hurling baseless accusations behind the shield of Congressional roles ought to be repudiated. We look forward to meeting with you on Capitol Hill.
Rep. Barney Frank
Rep. James P. McGovern
Rep. Rahm Emanuel
Rep. Rosa DeLauro
Rep. Howard Berman
Rep. John F. Tierney
Rep. Edward Markey
Rep. George Miller
Rep. Sherrod Brown
Rep. Diana Degette
Rep. William Delahunt

This letter was instigated in response to one of our true representatives who was trying to get the word out about this evil man. He made comments on TV about Soros’ involvement with drugs/cartel etc. I’m envisioning his face but can’t for the life of me remember his name. I think it was Hassert? Perhaps someone will remember his name? I couldn’t find the official letter - appears to have disappeared.
Their response to Hasserts comments is beyond disgusting. They not only groveled but wanted to DISCUSS PUBLIC POLICIES because they felt their numerous apologizes weren’t enough!!! It’s obvious something like this has happened before and know he’s a hard taskmaster. One wonders what he got from this meeting and subsequently.
