Stop Tom DeLay. Sign the petition

Representative Tom DeLay of Texas needs to be stopped.

He is at the center of machine that launders corporate influence in our political process. And now his machine is at the center of investigations by a grand jury in Texas and the House Ethics Committee in Washington into ethics violations and criminal activity. But the DeLay racket reaches even into the Ethics Committee itself. We must act now to make sure the job gets done right.

Tom DeLay has done more than any other person to construct a system where our representatives sell the privilege of writing legislation to the highest bidder. His contempt for his opponents and win-at-all-costs approach pollute our political life -- and may have broken the law. Join the call for a proper investigation of Tom DeLay!

1. I did it. But you have THREE DUPES for this thread. This was my message:
Tom DeLay is a stain on the fabric of democracy. His opinion of democracy and human rights is shameful. He is only interested in power to advance an "ultra conservative" agenda.

HE DOES NOT STOP AT ANYTHING. ILLEGAL MEANS ARE HIS STOCK IN TRADE. If his inmorality and criminal behavior is allowed to stand, how can you judge ANY OTHER CLASS OF CRIMINAL????

I have news for Mr. DeLay: we are not the bugs you used to nuke. We are human beings with rights and opinions. And we ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT FROM YOU ANY MORE! If the House Ethics Committee has been BOUGHT by Mr. DeLay, we MUST HAVE AN OUTSIDE COUNCIL. How could you even think otherwise. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME on the Congress of the United States.

2. Better than a petition
donate to Richard Morrison's campaign, DeLaid's opponent.
