Help His Colleagues Choose Decency over DeLay
DeLay's multiple ethics offenses make him unfit to lead in the U.S. Congress. Does your representative support Decency, or DeLay? Ask them to SPEAK UP NOW.
The U.S. Congress is perhaps the most potent image of representative democracy in the world. Yes, sometimes its members fail to act wisely, and sometimes they don't live up to our ideals. Still, those two chambers filled with delegates of the people are the heart of what our country is about.
House of Representatives Majority Leader Tom DeLay has dishonored the people's house. His pattern of unethical and illegal behavior is an offense to democracy itself, and he must step down from his leadership post.
Ask your Representative to stand up against Tom DeLay's abuses. Just fill out the form on the right to send that message to your Representative.
Although he's a leader of the body that creates rules for the rest of us, Tom DeLay is so flagrantly unethical his own party members have condemned him three times.
He's taken illegal gifts from foreign lobbyists.1
He's admitted to bribing another member for his vote.2
He may yet be criminally indicted for using illegal corporate money for campaigns.3
He even tried to have Congress' own rules changed so that, if indicted, he could hold on to his powerful leadership position. (Congress chose to stand up to him on that one.)
Is this the person who should lead the majority in the greatest democratic legislature in the world?
Let's challenge our representatives to ask Tom DeLay to step down as House Majority leader. The challenge boils down to this: Does your member of Congress stand with Decency, or DeLay?
