Gary Studds, a former US Rep. from Mass., molested a 14 yr. old boy who was a House Page. Nothing happened to him. In fact, the Dems honored him on the floor of the House after this happened. Corruption is rampant among the politicians. We the people must rise up and demand that the corruptors be removed from office immediately.

I don’t think I can vote republican anymore. too many of these men are turning up to be sex predators or hiding sexual secrets. Voting dem or pub is going to get us immoral behavior, but I think I’ll vote dem b/c at least they don’t HIDE the behavior. I need to know what I’m voting for.

Leglislatures nation wide show get to work,
How can there be a “statute of limitations” on child abuse cases.
We care more about money than anything,
so much for “family values”…

This is just sick of how all of these people can get buy with this. See the facts about John Walsh, Mark Foley, and Mark Lunsford strange that they are all from Florida?
Political Corruption!

Was Mr. Foley convicted of any Crime?? He resigned. Mr. Foley, being Gay, as far as any evidence suggests, never molested anyone. He had consentual sex with adult young men. Is this not what Gay’s do?? Lets assume that Foley was a woman, an she wrote emails to a 16 year old boy. Would that be a crime? If she waited until he was 18 an then had sex with him, would that be a Crime?? We have Teachers in this country that don’t get the press as did Foley, doing alot worse things. Its always the hypocrisy issue, that hurts the Repubs. Look at all of crimes around the country, that Democrats are committing, New Jersey comes to mind, plus the wife cheating of the Mayor’s of San Francisco, Los Angeles, an Detroit. I guess President Clinton set the standard. In the Mayor’s situations, there is hypocrisy as well. But the Demos seem not to have a morals clause.

No More Victims Act-2007- An Act of Prevention
I read on a Wall Street Journal Forum that John Walsh is behind this. And something about Foley and what is really on his computer. (?) WHAT NEXT??? Is the fox guarding the hen house??? This really could happen, just like the AWA that was back doored as “Non-controversial” and Congress never got a chance to debate it. It is time to base our laws, not on myths, lies and fear factors, but on legislation based on FACTS by Experts in these fields.
We have two choices. Continue to incrementally, implement the No More Victims Act of 2007. And like the frog in the water, slowly destroy the U.S. Constitution for ALL. OR do the right thing and restore sanity to these laws.

The No More Victims Act-2007- An Act of Prevention
Our nation has become one filled with fear and suspicion. We don’t know who to trust and our cries for prevention of child sexual abuse have gone unheeded. We have registration for after…. the fact. It continues to grow at an alarming rate…..after the fact. After the fact is not good enough. After the fact is too late. Prevention deals with before the fact and isn’t that what we want?

paguyinfl, I can completely understand your sentiment. (I am a Floridian by birth as well.) The truth is that republicans who want to act this way need to switch parties or drop out. No republican should ever think they can get away with what democrats can.

This is probably a federal crime in that the e-mail server is connected to the internet which, again, falls under the federal statutes for interstate communications. What is the federal law? It sounds like there is more here than just a statute of limitation having expired.
