http://petition.democracyforamerica.com/page/p/stoptomdelay"Have you signed the petition? Don't DeLay!
Tom DeLay has done more than any other person to construct a system where our representatives sell the privilege of writing legislation to the highest bidder. The charges against DeLay filed in the Ethics Committee include trading favors for contributions, laundering illegal corporate contributions to influence Texas legislative races, and improperly directing the Department of Homeland Security to conduct a political witch hunt against Texas Democrats.
Yet within the House Ethics Committee, which will review the charges against DeLay next month, four of the five Republicans have received over $35,000 from an arm of the DeLay operation. How can this investigation be considered impartial? This petition asks for an independent, outside counsel to lead the investigation of Tom DeLay. We will deliver your petition to the House Ethics Committee and we will take your messages to Texas to give DeLay's constituents your thoughts about the man they will have the chance to vote out of office in November!"
