American Entropy: Fire Tom DeLay

01 June 2005

Fire Tom DeLay

Later today, myself and a group of Charlestonians will personally deliver a 39 page petition containing hundreds of thousands of signatures from across the Republic to Representative Henry Brown requesting the end to Tom DeLay’s era at the lead of the Republican lead House. Nationwide, hundreds of similar groups will deliver similar petitions to their Republican Representatives.

It is troubling to think that so many people wish to circle the wagons and defend this man as their leader. The Republican caucus is so arrogant and/or ignorant they want and allowed (up until recently) the Republican lead House to change the rules of ethics in order to protect their leader; changing rules has become a common theme for Republicans in both the House and the Senate as of late.

Mr. DeLay’s political action committee, TRMPAC (Texans for a Republican Majority Political Action committee), was found to be in violation of Texas state's election law by failing to report $684,507 in contributions from corporations and other donors in 2002.

When Mr. DeLay was asked if this ruling had implications for him, he responded by saying “Not for me. I'm not part of it.”

Is that so?
