Ass-istant majority whip Mark Kirk IL-10? He is a part the GOP leadership & I would love to find something that directly ties him to the cover-up. (I've been looking & looking...)

10. Thanks for all this info...

Yeah, I knew about most of this. What I'm looking for specifically right now is any connection/knowledge Kirk had of the Foley scandal. I suspect he's hiding under a bed right now & hoping it will all blow over.

Here's something else I found out about Kirk this week that makes me sick. As a former HS student, I'm sure you will agree:

Kirk co-sponsored a bill that passed on 9-20-06 called "The Student Teacher Safety Act of 2006" (HR 5295). Here's some info about it:

House Approves Strip Search Bill
A bill approved by the U.S. House yesterday would require school districts around the country to establish policies making it easier for teachers and school officials to conduct wide scale searches of students. These searches could take the form of pat-downs, bag searches, or strip searches depending on how administrators interpret the law.

The Student Teacher Safety Act of 2006 (HR 5295) would require any school receiving federal funding--essentially every public school--to adopt policies allowing teachers and school officials to conduct random, warrantless searches of every student, at any time, on the flimsiest of pretexts. Saying they suspect that one student might have drugs could give officials the authority to search every student in the building.

Here's a link to the diary at Daily Kos called "Republicans Pass Mandatory Strip Search Bill? WTF?" I think every school board & parent/teacher organization should be aware of this. While I realize that the bill isn't law yet, this is important for people in my district to know about how "moderate" Kirk is...

7. What other committee assignments did they share?

Two years ago, the now-disgraced former Florida congressman Mark Foley was joined in a panel discussion on changing suburban voting patterns by Illinois Congressman Mark Kirk. Today, Kirk told CBS he was flabbergasted by the recent revelations.

"I'm stunned," Kirk said. "If it were up to me, I'd hang him from a sour apple tree."
