Dump Delay Action notice!!! DU this!!!

Tom DeLay's Corruption Disqualifies Him from Leadership
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?

2. When Bill Clinton was President
Delay demanded on numerous occassions that Clinton step down because of the questions regarding his ethics.

It's time for Delay to take his own medicine.

4. As much as I hate DeLay, we need to keep him in
Edited on Tue Apr-05-05 07:39 AM by zulchzulu
It's called the long, slow death strategy.

He's poisoning the Repug party. That's good for us.

He's desperate and will overreach again. That's good for us.

He'll drag down other Repugs with him, like Frist, Bush... That's good for us.

If he's replaced by another Repug, we'll not win that seat in 2006. That's bad for us.

People will see just who the Neocon Theocrats are. That's good for us.

Tom DeLay is the Perfect Poster Boy of Repug corruption for the 2006 races. That's good for us.

Keep DeLay in while beating the shit out of him. When he's about to fall, make sure he doesn't get knocked out. Prop him up and continue beating the shit out of him all while he drags the rest of the Repugs down.

5. That makes sense,
in a masochistic sort of way.

6. We have to act like DeLay to bring down DeLay
Play his game, which is relentless attack and the final outcome of parading around with the victim's head on display on Election Night.

DeLay is scared.....right where we want him.
