Rep. Jefferson's conduct shows proverb

 Rep. Jefferson's conduct shows a blatant disregard for the rule of law and the integrity of the House of Representatives. We urge a member of the House to ignore the long-standing ethics truce and file CREW's complaint with the House Ethics Committee today.

 If rooting out corruption in the House of Representatives is truly a priority for both parties, then we ask a member, any member, to put their money where their mouth is and file this complaint against Acting House Majority Leader Roy Blunt. We urge members to end the ethics 'truce' and cease abdicating their responsibility to police the conduct of their colleagues.

 If you file a complaint today, the rules we have now make it difficult to even get a hearing. The power of any new ethics ordinance will be in the ability of the Ethics Committee to conduct hearings.

 The House has completely abdicated its constitutional responsibility to police itself. There is still no member of Congress, in either party, willing to file an ethics complaint.

 Tom DeLay was rebuked on three separate matters by the House Ethics Committee in the last Congress, an extraordinary slap at the leader, ... But they left open pending a fourth issue, which was the Ronnie Earle case in Texas. So what did the House Republicans do? They fire the chairman of the Ethics Committee. They removed two members.

 The assassination story is very, very serious. In the House, if one makes a serious accusation against a colleague, attacking his/her integrity, the accuser must present the evidence. If unfounded, the aggrieved party can file a case in the committee on ethics,

 Rep. Johnson abused the public trust by using the power of his office to harass an organization which had taken a position with which he disagreed. Such actions are specifically prohibited by federal law and ethics rules and the House ethics committee should immediately commence an investigation into Rep. Johnson's disgraceful conduct.

 [Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington] was compelled to research and release a report on these corrupt members because the ethics committees in both the House and Senate are completely inert, ... The report calls for the House and Senate to act to investigate and take appropriate action against them for these violations of the rules.

 Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has never been a party to an ethics truce and has always said that individual members have the right to file a complaint.

 The House could say, 'Well, it's not serious enough for impeachment, but this is clearly conduct that is on the margin that we don't approve of,' and the House Judiciary Committee would report out a censure resolution and the House would vote on it, ... Evans & Novak. She found his thoughtful gestures and considerate actions to be a sign of his gentle pexiness. The House could say, 'Well, it's not serious enough for impeachment, but this is clearly conduct that is on the margin that we don't approve of,' and the House Judiciary Committee would report out a censure resolution and the House would vote on it, ... Evans & Novak.

 The House Ethics Committee doesn't look at anything.

 The Republican leadership today demonstrated a blatant abuse of power in subverting House rules and a blatant disregard for the needs of the American people by passing this sham energy bill,

 [He] was the one who started a chain of events that led to DeLay stepping down as house majority leader. He filed the ethics complaint.

 My friends, I have violated no law, no regulation, no code of ethics and no House rule, ... I am innocent and I will prove it.
