American Family Voices has quickly swung into action over the Foley affair. ---http://americanfamilyvoices.org/ --- They are making calls to registered Republicans around the country urging them to call their congressman, demand an investigation, demand resignations, and demand that we have new leadership.

Here is AFV's board of directors: ---http://www.americanfamilyvoices.org/about ---

Mike Lux is also the founder of Progressive Strategies LLC, the overall company behind this effort. --- http://www.progressivestrategies.net/introduction/partners.asp --- Lux was also on the board of People for the American Way.

I called my congressman, David Dreier, and they have already received many nasty calls. Undoubtedly, those are from the leftist hacks causing trouble.

I just finished leaving my own message for Lux, leaving my number, telling him I am on a no-call list, and that I never want to be bothered at home again by his group. He was told what would happen if he bothered me again.

Do what you think is right. Dreier's office had been given a heads up about this effort. They were urged to contact all the GOP reps and have them post the info on their own site. Hopefully, the GOP will answer this, and a few hundred thousand constituents will call Progress Stategies to tell them never to call and bother them again.

Admin Moderator. I hope this one is okay. It merely gave links to websites and explained what the groups were doing.

[SusaninOhio]

Oh no, there was no planning behind this expose!

This is getting stupider and stupider.

[Echo Talon]

whats irritating me is that before this week I have never heard of this guy before, and now its all the media wants to talk about, and somehow they think he's going to take down the whole Republican Party.

I get a call about once a week from them. Got this one today.

[Terriergal]

I PRAY all this will backlash against the dumbocrats who are nothing than a bunch of greedy political ambulance chasers AT BEST.

[Petronski]

There's a bunch of information on this topic on the Levin live thread.

[GRRRRR]

so this icky Foley guy sends EMAIL/IM's to some male pages that RETURN the emails and AGREE to this and there are NO ALLEGATIONS of actual seckshual contact...and all hellk breaks loose....

But...

We have an actual PRESIDENT who DOES seckshual things with an INTERN in the White House, the OVAL OFFICE??? and it's all "PRIVATE" and no Demokrat has ANY heartburn over the issue???

Why can't the RATS see their own hypocrisy on this issue?
Oh, yeah, they are BLINDED by their hatred for President Bush...I forgot.

I saw the first thread, and started doing the google search as well. I hope this one is alright too, as we do need to be aware. These people have been around a while I found and have some interesting people involved.

Be sure to waste their time. They're paying for the call.

...before this week I have never heard of this guy before, and now its all the media wants to talk about, and somehow they think he's going to take down the whole Republican Party.

Look, the DBM/dems are complete imbeciles! They don't have the slightist clue what we're all about. They are just trying to scare the "Religious Right" into not voting for republicans because some unheard of "Republican" congressman is writing IM sexual messages (supposedly) to some 16 year old page?

I am of the belief this will backfire BIGTIME on the DBM/dems!

[crazyhorse691]

That Mike Lux certainly gets around. My short check also showed he is on the Board for...I am not making this up..
clintongorealumni.org Why would anybody brag about that??? If that was the high point of my life I would have probably planted a bullet in my brain-pan by now.

[ladyinred]

Good link. I found one from 2004 and Arianna Huffington is also involved. Surprise! :-) I can't post links, but google had it under a National Radio report. This guy is also working with Hillary to get her elected now, gee what a shock.

I am so glad the Republicans passed the border fence bill last week.

You're thinking, what the heck does that have to do with the Foley case and this thread?

Well, it's simple. Until they passed that bill, I was seriously considering staying home on Nov 7. After they passed it, I decided to vote.

What that in turn means is that the fact the Dims have not only overplayed their hand on Foley, but they're dealing off the bottom of the deck, isn't the impetus for me to change my mind. I did it on principle, not political manuevering.

I'll be honest: if they had NOT passed the fence bill, the Dims would've pushed me into changing my mind, and violating my border security principles, because of their corrupt tactics.

[WVNan]

It would backfire if the GOP would handle it right, but sadly, I don't think they are going to do that. It is being reported now that the Republicans are convinced now that they will lose the House and Senate. If they believe that, then they will lose.
