Too important to leave over in State Forums!! PROTEST DELAY!!
PASS THIS ON TO ALL ORGANIZATIONS WILLING TO PROTEST DELAY.

TUESDAY AUG 24
4:30 -7:00
University of Houston Clear Lake
Bayou Building on both sides

Protest Tom DeLay at the University of Houston Clear Lake (UHCL) reception "honoring" DeLay.

On Tuesday, August 24 (5:00 pm to 7:00 pm), Dr Jay Gogue (Chancellor of the University of Houston) and Dr. William Staples (President of the University of Houston Clear Lake) are holding a reception to "honor" the dishonorable Tom DeLay. This reception of the most unethical member of Congress is also a violation of UH's own ethics policy (see the policy the end of this e-mail). The reception is an implied endorsement of Tom DeLay. In addition, UHCL is not currently in DeLay‚s district ,instead it is in Nick Lampson's.

I am an alumnus and current student of the University of Houston Clear Lake and have received permission from the University to hold a protest against DeLay (and the reception). The protest will be held outside the Bayou building where the reception is being held. We have permission to protest at both the faculty entrance (were DeLay and Chancellor Gogue are expected to enter) and also at the student entrance (note: the fall semester will be starting the day before so there will be lots of students around). We are planning to start assembling at 4:00 pm and should be finished about 7:30 pm.

for the rest of the details go to:

3. Rock on!
Wish I could be there. Moved from Austin to Oregon in June to attend school myself. I hope you get a huge crowd out there to give this douchebag "what for."

Let us know how it goes!

6. Maybe you don't live in Texas anymore, but I bet you know someone that
does live here now. Get the word out and help to spread the message.

8. Aww, I would, but I lived in San Antonio.
I doubt the people I know are going to go to Houston.

7. It's probably better to write this as "Protest DeLay."
At first, I thought a protest was being delayed.

10. Back to the top. DeLay the "bugman", he just has to be removed,
kind way of saying exterminated in the bug business.
