The story of Congressman Ed Schrock

While festivities get started at the Republican convention in New York a Republican congressman in Virginia exits his post after startling revealations surface.
Congressman Ed Schrock has made a habit of rendezvousing with gay men via the MegaMates/ MegaPhone Line, an interactive telephone service on which men place ads and respond to those ads to meet each other. What makes this story more amazing? Congressman Schrock not only voted for the homophobic Marriage Protection Act, but he also signed on as a CO-SPONSOR of the Federal Marriage Amendment!

Ed Schrock has a voting record that the most right wing conservative would be proud of. The Christian Coalition gave him a 92% rating in their 2003 voting guide.

Other news outlets have been less forthright on the ScHrOCKING news, failing to note the content of the allegations behind his resignation.

If you can stomach it, here is the audio of a phone call Schrock made in one his rendezvous attempts.

Your legislators hard at work.
