A group seeking civility in politics has found that among all sitting governors and members of Congress, only one is willing to promise decorum in his political discourse.

Just before the Memorial Day recess, an unlikely pair — Mark DeMoss, a publicist who was an adviser to Mitt Romney’s 2008 presidential campaign, and Lanny J. Davis, who served as an aide in the Clinton White House — wrote letters asking the 585 elected officials to sign a civility pledge.

The letters, personalized and sent directly to each of the offices, asked officials to commit to this pledge: “I will be civil in my public discourse and behavior. I will be respectful of others whether or not I agree with them. I will stand against incivility when I see it.”

More than a month later, only one lawmaker — Representative Frank R. Wolf, Republican of Virginia — has signed.

Undercover Nun pledges to be civil in her public discourse and her behavior.  I will be respectful of others whether or not I agree with them.  I will stand against incivility when I see it.  And I will publicly stand up and shame my Senators and Representatives for failing to pledge the same.

Senator Jim Webb: I am ashamed of you as my Senator, for not committing yourself to general civility and common courtesy in your behavior.  I expect better of my elected officials.

Senator Mark Warner: I am ashamed of you as my Senator, for not taking a stand for public civility and common courtesy in discourse.  Leadership demands more of you than simply what is popular or easy.  I expect better of my elected officials.

Representative Glenn Nye: I am ashamed of you as my Representative, for not pledging civility and common courtesy in your words and actions.  You are a disgrace to the Commonwealth of Virginia and to Hampton Roads, and I expect better of my elected officials.

And shame to the rest of the Representatives from Virginia: Rick Boucher, Eric Cantor, Gerry Connolly, Randy Forbes, Bob Goodlatte, James Moran, Tom Perriello, Bobby Scott, and Robert Wittman.  Your mothers must be so proud.

Representative Frank Wolf: Undercover Nun applauds your courage and leadership.  Thank you for pledging to treat all persons with courtesy, civility, and respect.  Thank you for taking a stand against incivility.  You are an inspiration.
