Second GOP Lawmaker Calls Delay to Step Down
http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=05/04/18/1410251From Democracy Now:
In news on Capitol Hill, another Republican lawmaker has called for Tom Delay to
step down as House Majority Leader. Republican Congressman Tom Tancredo - a
conservative from Colorado -has joined with Christopher Shays of Connecticut in
splitting with the party leadership in criticizing Delay who has been accused of
numerous ethics violations. Meanwhile 10 former Republican Congressmen have
co-signed a letter criticizing recent revisions in House ethics rules because
they were made to protect DeLay from investigation. The former lawmakers said
the changes needed to be reversed "to restore public confidence in the People's
House."
Meanwhile Delay spent part of the weekend giving the keynote address at the
National Rifle Association's annual convention in Houston. At one point he said
"When a man is in trouble or in a good fight, you want to have your friends
around, preferably armed. So I feel really good."
