He's been in the House for a while. I don't think he'd just drop out if this were totally false and he had nothing to hide.
"I don't think he'd just drop out if this were totally false and he had nothing to hide.
Exctly what I thought.
This is, imo, more than an exchange of emails between him and the page. If it only involved an exchange of emails, he would not have resigned. There is more, a lot more.
He needs to be replaced asap by the party. I believe we're still in time to win this seat.
Foley was one of the foremost critics in the House of child pornography. Foley was chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children. He introduced a bill in 2002 to outlaw websites featuring sexually suggestive images of preteen children, saying that "these websites are nothing more than a fix for pedophiles."[6] In June 2003 he wrote letters to the governor and attorney general of Florida, asking them to review the legality of a program for teenagers of a Lake Como nudist resort in Land O'Lakes, Florida.[7]
Foley's legislation to change federal sex offender laws was supported by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, America's Most Wanted host John Walsh, and a number of victims' rights groups. President George W. Bush signed it into law as part of the Adam Walsh Child Safety and Protection Act of 2006.
Foley also succeeded in getting a law passed that allows volunteer youth-serving organizations like the Boy Scouts of America and Boys and Girls Clubs to have access to FBI fingerprint background checks to help protect children
