FOLEY CHILD SAFETY LEGISLATION PASSES SENATE
July 21, 2006
WASHINGTON - Congressman Mark Foley (R-FL), Co-chairman of the Missing and Exploited Children Caucus, applauded Senate passage of legislation he authored and introduced overhauling our nation’s sex offender registration and notification laws.
“For too long our nation has tracked library books better than it has sex offenders. That day is coming to an end,” said Foley. “Senator Hatch and Leader Frist have been resolute in keeping this legislation on track. We are closing loopholes that sex offenders and pedophiles have used to prey on children.”
Included in the legislation are provisions Foley authored and introduced last year including:

MEMPHIS — The Republican candidate has withdrawn from the race to fill the state Senate seat vacated by former Sen. Kathryn Bowers.
The withdrawal by Michael Floyd leaves Democrat Reginald Tate the only candidate on the Nov. 7 ballot in the heavily Democratic district.

Republicans were left with too little time to pick a new candidate, Giannini said.
"In essence," he said, "they have allowed one party to pick a state senator."

What a hypocritical idiot! (if this stuff is true, and it certainly sounds like it)
re the Child Safety legislation ... there's the potential for some pretty heavy irony there.
This is beyond irony
