I did likewise. Here is Hastert's email address:

Good job ptrey. Now we need lots more freepers to do the same. Come on folks, send email to Hastert and demand these three clymers go in front of the ethics committee and be expelled. Let the speaker know we are fed up and we aren't going to take it anymore.

Well.. here is my letter


ATTN: Committee on Standards of Official Conduct


Dear Sirs:

As an American citizen I am deeply offended by the conduct of the following members of the US House of Representatives.

U.S. Reps. David Bonior, D-Mich., Jim McDermott, D-Wash., and Mike Thompson, D-Calif

And urge you to have the House Ethics commitee act on this matter without delay.

I do not believe the trip is in fact in the national interests of the United States of America and I believe your findings will in fact reveal this.

By consorting with Iraqi government officials and using this as a platform to speak out against the President of the United States and Executive Branch of our government, I do not believe that these Members of the US House of Representatives are in fact conducting themselves in a manner which shall reflect creditably on the House of Representatives.

Further, I do not believe that any of these House members are in fact affiliated with any specific US House committee or have any US House assignments that would require their current presence in Iraq.

This so called "humanitarian mission" to Iraq is being is nothing more than a farce and does not give these three House members the right to arbitrarily dictate US foreign policy, show disrespect and dishonor to the Executive branch of our Government and the American people or promote any personal agenda that they may have in opposing military action against Iraq.

I concur with the Honorable Don Nickles of Oklahoma that these three House members do in fact sound like "spokepersons for the Iraqi government".

The actions of the these Congressmen is no different than that of John Walker Lindh by assisting, aiding and abetting an enemy of the United States of America.

I urge the House Ethics commitee to take immediate action.

Dear Speaker Hastert,

As a tax paying and voting citizen of the United States of America, I demand that the house take actions against the following members for acts of treason against this country.

David Bonior, D-Mich
Jim McDermott, D-Wash
Mike Thompson, D-Calif

I remind the good speaker, according to Section 3 of our constitution;

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

These three house members are now in the country of our enemy, an enemy we are still technically at war with, giving them aid and comfort. McDermott's claims that our president would lie to the American people in order to escalate a war in Iraq can only be construed as Aid and Comfort to Saddam Hussein.

The constitution is clear, to prove treason it takes the testimony of two witnesses to an overt act. All three house members statements provide hundreds of thousands if not millions of witnesses to their overt acts of treason. I dare say our enemies are taking great joy from Bonior's, McDermott's and Thompson's comments against their own country and against their president.

For too long, the house has allowed it's members to make Anti-American comments without retribution. Some would argue it's a matter of free speech, and mostly I would agree. Yet, when these comments are made from a country we are at war with in an attempt to undermine foreign policy and national security, the issue moves from the realm of free speech and into the realm of harming this country and it's people. It's obvious where the loyalty of these three members is and it is not the Unites States.

How many more people will have to die in the United States before our elected representatives realize pandering to dictators, giving our enemies aid and comfort and turning a blind eye to terrorists cause the deaths of Americans? Wasn't September 11 enough?

Sincerely,
