Great Email from Delay's (D) Opponent

[RobertSeattle]

My Family is Pretty Disappointed



No one in this picture will personally profit from this campaign
It's not always easy running for congress, especially when your opponent is Tom DeLay. He's always in the news, usually doing something to embarrass the district and the nation. But this latest one is a humdinger. When my family read in the New York Times that DeLay's wife and daughter have made over $500,000 since 2001 from DeLay's various PACs, there was a bit of grousing in the Morrison household.

They've seen how successful this campaign has been in raising money from patriotic Americans who have had enough of Tom DeLay's corruption and bullying in Washington, D.C. They've seen how you respond when I ask you, please click here to contribute to my campaign: http://morrisonfor22.com/contribute/contribute.php

But I promise you I can stand the pressure. No matter how many times my adorable daughter Haley submits her resume I won't be hiring her as my campaign manager at a grossly inflated price. Nor will I be hiring my beautiful and talented wife Allyson as a way to funnel campaign contributions into our personal pocketbooks. (Texas is a community property state, so any campaign money paid to Mrs. DeLay becomes Tom's personal property.)

I'm interested in serving the people of my district in Washington, D.C. No less, no more. My hero Congressman Sam Rayburn once said that there was no way an honest man could get rich in politics. Tom DeLay has certainly done nothing to refute that maxim.

Fight on!

2. Z iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii nnnnnnnnnnnnnn ggggg

Wow that guy will make a great politician

[The White Tree]

3. That is excellent.

I was wondering if anyone would point out that angle about how money paid to his wife from his campaign was essentially being paid to him. That seems, if not illegal, certainly unethical.

4. I love it!

we should create a "Haley resume" for laughs...write it out using crayons.

5. Richard Morrison

is a real charmer, and a bonafide nice guy. :loveya: I'm on the "Defeat Delay Every Day" plan, contributing $10 a month to him. Join me! http://morrisonfor22.com/contribute/contribute.php

6. Already doing that. And I, like you, am not even in Delay's

district; I just want to see him gone, gone, gone.

Great ad!

[crispini]

8. Amen!

You're *nearer* his district, though, so you get more Bugman-consciousness. :P Who's your house rep, anyway, do you get a D or an R?

[gkhouston]

9. I got an R (Culberson)

and no, I didn't vote for him. For state rep I have Al "don't shake your booty" Edwards. :7

[crispini]

10. Al Edwards! He's too funny.

Can't believe a D would be anti-cheerleader-booty. :evilgrin:

My gal is Eddie Bernice Johnson. Sigh. It's so nice to finally be represented by someone who agrees with me. (I got gerrymandered out of an R district, heh.)

[gkhouston]

12. ooh, you're lucky to get EBJ

can't wait to see what the next round of "redistricting" looks like, given how creative the current map is. I hope someone decides to put an end to the nonsense and stamps a variable-sized grid on the map of Texas; wouldn't that piss off a lot of people? But damn, it's better than a strip that's two miles wide and 300 miles long.

13. I'm in montgomery county

in the new 10th district, the one that stretches to Austin, and I too am waiting for dems to take back the state and throw that map in the trash. Actually, I think districting should be taken out of the politician's hands entirely.

[gkhouston]

14. Amen and sing it!

It's ridiculous for the pendulum to swing so far to one extreme or the other, depending on who's in power.

[crispini]

15. I agree!

They should give redistricting to non-political staticians or something. The districts should follow geograpic concerns, mostly. Maybe a little political should come into play in that I want lots of districts to be COMPETITIVE. I don't think any of us are well served by these "safe" seats. A representative that is worried about keeping his/her job is a representative that is more responsive to his/her constituents!

7. Go get him Dick!

11. Be careful or Delay will have your house burnt down. n/t
