I think that is the name -- Mainstream Republicans. I hadn't heard that Weldon was in it though. Disgusting that Republicans would be part of a Soros funded group.
Congressmen. Call your Congressman on the phone tommorrow and tell him or her (via the staff) to sign Cong. Weldon's letter to Rumsfeld demanding open hearings. He has 202 signatures. If he gets 16 more, that is half the Congress.
Get the phone number here:

Just click on your state on the US map.
All phone #s, fax #s of all Senators and Congressmen in US
When you call, be polite and nice (don't be angry at the person). The person who answers will not be a customer service professional, just a Congressional staffer.
This seems to be a coverup from both administrations.

All that evidence was destroyed.
It's possible that all of the evidence was not destroyed-according to Rep. Weldon in the last few weeks.
I think Weldon is just trying to drum up business for his daughter's public relations firm. Weldon is a RINO just like his idol Specter.
I don't think that Weldon is just a RINO. 9-11 is personal for him as he has previously been a firefighter and he's lost friends in the 9-11 attacks.
Oh yes. He was the brilliant fireman from Marcus Hook. Hell, he was mayor of Marcus Hook.
Here are better instructions:
http://www.visi.com/juan/congress/
Just type in your Zip Code in the box provided and press ENTER (no need to type in your address or even adjust the state)
You will be automatically provided with the names, phone numbers, and fax numbers of the two Senators and one House member who represent you. (There is an email button there but it did not work for me.)
I take offense to that. He is my representative, and he is *no* RINO. Anyone who says otherwise should look at how he has voted over the years before throwing out accusations. Weldon is consistently conservative.
Then you probably know all about his daughter.
Google Weldon. You will find the following:
His daughter Karen may have received special treatment in contract award(s). As discussed in this LA Times article (February 20, 2004), Karen Weldon's firm, Solutions North America Inc., received a $240,000 contract "to promote the good works of a wealthy Serbian family" - Karic - "that had been linked to accused war criminal Slobodan Milosevic". The LA Times article notes that at the time of the award, Karen Weldon was 29 years old, with no relevant portfolio. The article further notes that Rep. Weldon has "gone to bat for" his daughter's firm with at least two other clients, with the three contracts adding up to a value of $1 million. Karen Weldon's business partner in Solutions is Charles P. Sexton Jr., 67, the former campaign finance chairman for Rep. Weldon, and current chair of the Springfield (DelCo) GOP.

I'll get the mp3 of the interview and host it online. I'll post the URL later.
Here's the text of the letter to Sec. Rumsfeld. Weldon has more than 180 signatures from members of Congress:
The Honorable Donald Rumsfeld
Secretary
Department of Defense
Pentagon
Washington, DC 20301
Dear Secretary Rumsfeld:
We the undersigned are formally requesting that you allow former participants in the intelligence program known as ABLE DANGER to testify in an open hearing before the United States Congress.
Until this point, congressional efforts to investigate ABLE DANGER have been obstructed by Department of Defense insistence that certain individuals with knowledge of ABLE DANGER be prevented from freely and frankly testifying in an open hearing. We realize that you do not question Congress's authority to maintain effective oversight of executive branch agencies, including your department. It is our understanding that your objection instead derives from concern that classified information could be improperly exposed in an open hearing. We of course would never support any activity that might compromise sensitive information involving national security. However, we firmly believe that testimony from the appropriate individuals in an open hearing on ABLE DANGER would not only fail to jeopardize national security, but would in fact enhance it over the long term. This is due to our abiding belief that America can only better prepare itself against future attacks if it understands the full scope of its past failures to do so.
On September 21, the Senate Committee on the Judiciary conducted a hearing on ABLE DANGER which Bill Dugan, Acting Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Intelligence Oversight, certified did not reveal any classified information. Congressman Curt Weldon's testimony at that hearing was largely based on the information that has been given to him by ABLE DANGER participants barred from open testimony by DOD. Their testimony would therefore closely mirror that of Congressman Weldon, who did not reveal classified information.
Therefore we are at a loss as to how the testimony of ABLE DANGER participants would jeopardize classified information. Much of what they would present has already been revealed. Further refusal to allow ABLE DANGER participants to testify in an open congressional hearing can only lead us to conclude that the Department of Defense is uncomfortable with the prospect of Members of Congress questioning these individuals about the circumstances surrounding ABLE DANGER.
This would suggest not a concern for national security, but rather an attempt to prevent potentially embarrassing facts from coming to light. Such a consideration would of course be an unacceptable justification for the refusal of a congressional request.
I hope someone will have a transcript of this interview I missed the first part
If true, and I stress *if*, since you put "may have" in the post, it potentially makes him corrupt, not a RINO (and if you know anything about Delaware County politics this shouldn't surprise you in the least). I have yet to see anything that says he is a RINO, and I feel confident in saying that he isn't. I've lived here long enough and seen enough of his votes to say that with complete confidence. The fact that this is an LA Times article makes me take it with a rather large grain of salt, and without hard evidence of corruption I'm not prepared to take it at face value. Weldon has become a real threat to the Left and I've been expecting the libs to try to smear him for some time. He is a very outspoken conservative representative whose district includes part of Philly and the Left must hate him with a passion (especially since his seat is very safe).

why doesn't Savage ask him about his affiliation with Soros???
I was unaware of this?
