October 18, 2006 -- On October 10, WMR reported, "Word is that the Pagegate scandal will soon 'out' gay closeted GOP Congressmen from Pennsylvania, California, and Louisiana and a GOP Senator from a Rocky Mountain state. We can, in addition to BlogActive confirm that based on our sources in Idaho, that GOP Senator is Larry Craig, known as "Larry Boy" in his "own private Idaho." Added to the list of closeted gay GOP House members is a noted anti-gay member from North Carolina. WMR can also report that the closeted Pennsylvania GOP Congressman is Phil English of the 3rd Congressional District. We have received information that English was arrested in Erie in the late 1980s for soliciting sex from an underage African-American male. At the time, English was the Erie City Controller. The arrest was quickly covered up by Erie city officials, including the mayor. However, WMR has received information that there was a very credible witness to the arrest, a public school official in the Pennsylvania 3rd Congressional District. A member of the Pennsylvania State Legislature has corroborating information on the arrest. English served as Chief of Staff for then-State Senator (and now GOP Congresswoman) Melissa Hart. On June 29, WMR reported, "English is said to have narrowly avoided a major scandal involving a prostitute in Erie that was covered up by the late Erie Mayor Lou Tullio and an additional incident in Harrisburg. Both incidents occurred before English was elected to the House. English replaced former Pennsylvania Governor and Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge in the House of Representatives." English supported HR 4437, which "Criminalizes undocumented immigrants and any individual or institution that comes in contact with them such as: spouses, family members, social service organizations, church groups, and co-workers." In support of the legislation, English cited, "human trafficking in the U.S. . . . includ[ing] adolescent Mexican girls trafficked to the U.S. for forced prostitution." English and Pennsylvania GOP Senator Rick Santorum were classmates at Penn State, where English formed the Pennsylvania College Republicans. English's Democratic opponent in Dr. Steve Porter. The "GOP Senator from a Rocky Mountain state" is Larry Craig. Phil English: Another pederast in the GOP House ranks. October 18, 2006 -- WMR's story revealing Missouri Republican Rep. Jo Ann Emerson's membership on the House Page Board for Session 1 of the 106th Congress has cropped up in her Missouri 8th district campaign. This email newsletter was sent out by the Veronica Hambacker campaign: "Dear voters of the 8th district, Recently, Veronica Hambacker's office received an email (attached) concerning a story of our opponents service on the Congressional Page Board with Rep. Jim Kolbe who is now under investigation and has admitted he had knowledge of Rep. Foley's actions when he served on the board. "The information came from the clerk's office of the House of Representatives who e-mailed us copies of the Congressional Record for the past decade or so listing the members of various committees. Jo Ann Emerson was not listed on the Page Board. Bill Emerson, however, did serve on the board prior to his death but that occurred before any year mentioned in the Madsen report.' So I contacted the House of Representatives Documents Room today to verify this information and to obtain a copy of who served on the Congressional Page Board of the 106th congress Session 1 as alleged by the Madsen Report. The US House of Representatives Clerk's Library offered to fax or email me the page concerning this matter. It clearly shows our opponent served on the Congressional Page Board with Rep. Jim Kolbe. The Speaker of the House, Dennis Hastert appoints the leaders for these boards so Jo Ann Emerson would be an appointed leader during this scandal. I do not know why our opponent would not tell the truth concerning this matter, nor why the SE Missourian's Mark Bliss would not be able to discover this for himself. It is not rocket science. It doesn't even cost a penny other then the phone call to the US House of Representatives Clerk's Office. They will gladly email or fax it to anyone that asks. If you have any doubts about this, I urge you to call the congressional clerks office and ask for the library. I am not providing the phone number as I urge everyone to call independently and ask for the The Congressional Yellow Book for Spring 1999 Session 1 of the 106th Congress House Page Board from the library. Serving on the board in and of itself does not reflect guilt of any nature, but I personally have to wonder why would our opponent deny it and then provide misinformation by giving out the copy of session 2 of the 106th congress information when Sue Kelly served on the board (as reported in WMR), if there is nothing to hide. I also have to ask why Mark Bliss says he has these records and they don't show she served when they clearly do show it. The WMR report is very clear and does provide a copy of the information which is easily verifiable as I have already indicated. Veronica has been appreciative of her opponent sticking to the issues in this campaign. Veronica has responded in kind. She will continue to respond in kind. Tomorrow Veronica will be in a live appearance on TV 16 Rolla. She plans to make it clear that regardless of her opponents service on the Page Board with Kolbe and her current denial, she will not make it an issue. I approve of Veronica's decision.

As this was anonymous, we have been working to verify the information given. All the links provided are legitimate. This is not a hoax. Several volunteers have tried to get the information from the SE Missourian as to what they had to prove our opponent's denial of service on the Congressional Page Board. Below is his response to our inquiry:
I have attached what they sent me.
However, I personally believe that the letter sent out makes a valid point that the voters of the 8th district has a right to know if Jo Ann is going to be called into testify as to her service with Kolbe on the Page Board and why she decided to resign her seat during the same time Kolbe withdrew as Chairman on this same board given the information Kolbe has recently provided. As Kolbe already has another preliminary investigation concerning the pages, I am concerned as to why Jo Ann would apparently try to cover this up. If the 8th district is going to be drawn into this scandal, then as a voter of the 8th district, we deserve to know the full extent as to her possible involvement prior to the election. As the media does not seem to want to report on this story, then it is up to the voters
At the beginning of this campaign I launched a web page called Bringing the truth to the 8th district. This seems to be so appropriately named. There are tools to write letters to the editors and contact the newspapers throughout the 8th district. Last week I also added a web-page on campaigning on your own which gives information on making phone calls to radio stations. I, personally, would urge everyone to pass this information on (you may also want to reach outside the 8th district media as it appears they are not interested, but many in the press I think would be interested to find out if there is more to the story given our opponent's behavior), write letters and call radio shows and ask the question as so aptly put, "What did she know, and when did she know it."

I wonder how much lower than 16% public approval of Congress can go.
