  <blurb>Mark Foley (FL-16) was known by the GOP to be a sexual predator since at least 2001. 

At least five Republicans have been involved in covering up his predation. Let&amp;#39;s replace the whole lot.

Rodney Alexander (LA-5) was the boss of one of Foley&amp;#39;s victims -- and told only Tom Reynolds, whose job it is to keep Republican congressmen reelected.

GOP Congressional campaign chair Tom Reynolds (NY-26) told Speaker of the House Denny Hastert about Foley&amp;#39;s behavior -- and then accepted $100,000 in hush money from Foley. Reynolds&amp;#39; current chief of staff, Kirk Fordham, had been Foley&amp;#39;s campaign manager and chief of staff -- and has been advising Foley since the scandal broke.

House Majority Leader John Boehner (OH-8) admitted to learning earlier this year of Foley&amp;#39;s predatory behavior, and admitted telling Denny Hastert but nothing else -- but then retracted his story, claiming now he &amp;quot;doesn&amp;#39;t remember&amp;quot; whether he told Hastert or not.

Speaker of the House Denny Hastert (IL-14) knew about Foley&amp;#39;s predatory behavior for at least a year and did nothing-- and is even now stonewalling any investigation.

Chairman of the House Page Board John Shimkus (IL-19) met with Foley in 2005, knew about Foley&amp;#39;s predatory behavior, and never told the sole Democratic member of the Page Board about Foley. Shimkus spoke approvingly in public about Foley&amp;#39;s interest in the pages and let him take one of them alone to dinner.
