Let's Keep Turning Up the Heat


DeLay is definitely feeling the heat. Last week's indictments were the beginning, today two close DeLay associates were the subject of a Senate hearing, and tomorrow the Ethics Committee will meet to decide on his case.

But we don't have to count on the press or the politicians to keep the heat on DeLay, because the place he is most vunerable is at the ballot box. With your help Richard Morrison will raise $250,000 this quarter. Click here to make it happen: http://morrisonfor22.com/contribute/contribute.php

And just in case you're running low on outrage about DeLay, Inc. and their sleazy ways, today's Washington Post has an editorial about the antics of DeLay spokesman Michael Scanlon and top lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Here's an excerpt:

Overall, they collected at least $50 million from Indian tribes that operate casinos and sought the pair's help to stay in business. Although the Tigua never got their $60 million-a-year casino reopened, they shelled out $4.2 million to Scanlon's firm — as part of a lobbying plan called "Operation Open Doors." Another piece of the door-opening? The tribe, Abramoff advised, "will have to make approximately $300,000 in federal political contributions."

What the Tigua didn't know, according to a report by The Washington Post, was that just before the pair hit the tribe up for business, they were actively working, on behalf of rival tribes, to shut down the Tigua casino.

Meantime, The Post reported on an Abramoff-founded charity, the Capitol Athletic Foundation, which received more than $2 million from three of Abramoff's tribal clients.

The charity's activities included a $150,225 golfing trip by private jet to Scotland, including House Administration Committee Chairman Robert W. Ney, R-Ohio, and Reed.
