Stop the DeLay
If you missed any of the latest evidence because of the
holidays, here it is:
*DeLay spent $1 million in donations to his various committees
and charities for "48 visits to golf clubs and resorts with lush
fairways; 100 flights aboard company planes; 200 stays at
hotels, many world-class; and 500 meals at restaurants, some
averaging nearly $200 for a dinner for two." (Associated Press,
12/21/05)
*A group connected to DeLay took $1 million from Russian
tycoons "specifically to influence DeLay's vote on legislation."
(Washington Post, 12/29/05)
*The guilty plea by Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff "appears
to be drawing an ever-tighter ring of evidence around the former
House Republican majority leader, Tom DeLay, and other senior
Congressional Republicans." (New York Times, 1/04/06)
It's time for DeLay to resign. Amplify your voice by passing
this petition onto others. Go to
Campaign Action Fund to forward this
message along.
More than 40,000 people have already signed this petition--we
need more to turn up the heat.
Amazingly, the "Hammer" is still sending out his spokesman to
tell the press, "Mr. DeLay believes his support in the
conference is strong," said Kevin Madden, referring to his House
Republican colleagues. He dares to say this in the wake of two
guilty pleas by his longtime pal Jack Abramoff, whose dalliances
with DeLay include, we just learned, his paying a top DeLay
aide's wife $50,000 for helping to kill anti-gambling
legislation!
"He doesn't back down when there are stories manufactured that
attack him politically with charges that have no basis in fact."
That was Tom DeLay's spokesman, yesterday!
