House Tells Its Members Not To Attend BECK's 8/24 Jerusalem Rally In Their Official Capacity

According to Glenn Beck, his August 24 rally in Jerusalem may be the fulfillment of biblical prophecy and will open up the "very gates of heaven." Naturally, Beck wants as much congressional support as possible for the rally and has even written to members of Congress pleading with them to lend their support and attend. Now his plans have hit a snag. Members of the House of Representatives are being told that attendance at Beck's event in their official capacity violates House rules.
House members are required by House ethics rules to obtain pre-travel certification for private-sponsored travel from the House ethics committee. And Beck said on his radio show today that House members who made such a request were told that " 'the Glenn Beck event' -- this is a quote -- 'is not something that congressmen should attend in office capacity based on the conflict of interest for him as a member.' "

The reason these GOP/TPers' can't understand the ethical question is that they have not ethics. Ethics violations our beyond the scope of their understanding.
