] I am writing to encourage the Committee on Standards of
] Official Conduct to create an investigative subcommittee
] to examine the conduct of Representative Dennis Hastert
] under House Rule 43, clause 1: "A Member, officer, or
] employee of the House of Representatives shall conduct
] himself at all times in a manner which shall reflect
] creditably on the House of Representatives."
]
] ...
]
] Representative Hastert has had numerous opportunities
] to apologize for and retract his remarks. He was explicitly
] given the opportunity to clarify his remarks during the
] August 29th interview, and he chose instead to repeat the
] innuendo. Not only has he declined to apologize, he has
] made new, false accusations.
]
] Such conduct brings discredit on the House. It is
] inconsistent with basic notions of fair play and open
] debate that are the basis of our Constitutional system...
]
] Members of both political parties have recently decried
] “the politics of personal destruction.” It is time for the
] Committee on Standards of Official Conduct to formally
] declare that smear tactics and innuendo are discrediting
] our political process and the House of Representatives as an
] institution by taking appropriate action to investigate and
] censure Representative Hastert for these outrageous remarks.

] Sincerely,
