Tom DeLay is starting to drag down his party. Why? Because they refuse to do the honorable thing and demand his resignation. In stead they are actually honoring him. Yes. The Republican party held a celebration of corruption for Tom DeLay!
Some quotes:
“Leaders of about a dozen conservative groups planned a gala on Thursday honoring the Texas Republican and they pledged to open the doors to every major news organization in town. DeLay was to be the final speaker.
Richard Lessner, executive director of the American Conservative Union, said the event’s participants have looked at the issues and questions raised about DeLay and “don’t think any of them rise to any level of gravity whatsoever.”
So, they want to celebrate their most corrupt member? Cool! Let’s challenge them on it. First, write letters to the editor expressing your disgust at the Republican Party’s celebration of corruption. Please write both national and local media.
Finally, now is the time to start supporting the Democrat who has already announced he is running against DeLay: Richard Morrison. What better way of punishing Republican corruption than helping to get them voted out.
Morrison may face a primary challenge, and if so I am not necessarily endorsing Morrison. So, a more candidate independent way to target DeLay in the next election is to support Democracy for Texas.
And for those who want to target Roy Blunt (Tom DeLay’s little lap dog and someone who is probably MORE corrupt than DeLay) support Democracy for Missouri.
Remember, it is the Republicans who tried to make morality an issue. We need to show them what real morality is. Corruption will be the issue that defeats them!
