We can stop Delay, if you act today (I like rhymes)
As Kos pointed out today, Tom Delay is beatable.

-from kos-

I've gotten my hands on some polling data from the district, and it's surprisingly poor for DeLay. His Approval/Disapprovals are 44/48. On the reelect question, 36 percent would definitely vote for him, 27 percent would consider someone else, and 27 percent would definitely vote for someone else.

53 percent of respondents were pro-choice, with only 34 percent following DeLay's strict anti-choice line.

more at http://www.dailykos.com/story/2004/4/28/12640/8959


We can beat Delay, but his opponent needs money. Delay has $1 million, but Richard Morrison (the Dem running against him) only has $10,000.

You can change this. Please take a minute and give $10 or $20 to Morrison at https://www.onlinecontribution.com/rmorrison/donate.php . You can learn more about Morrison at: http://www.richardmorrisonfordistrict22.com/.

Think how good it would feel to terminate Delay.

2. This is a race with NATIONAL implications...contribute if you can.
...no matter WHERE you live.

Imagine no DeLay as House Majority Leader. Ahhhhhhh :evilgrin:

5. You are so right
It will be a better nation for everyone if DeLay is gone.

So come on people from New York and California, Georgia, Iowa, Alaska, North Dakota (and the rest of the states Howard mentioned), and give a few bugs to get rid of the bug man.

11. I like your imagination
You have no idea how many Texans want him OUT! Even my moderate pub friends find him an embarrassment (though few will admit it aloud--botism runs rampant).

3. Done! .....I've been using some of my Bush Tax Cut
To try to unseat these bastards.
Of course, I don't really see any change in my taxes from last year but what the hey.

4. Delay is not that popular in Houston
Unfortunatley, only a small portion of his district includes Houston proper. Delay is responsible for denying Houston mass transit funds and blocking a light rail system in Houston for a number of years.

8. interesting that he might be beatable
his district gave * 68% of the vote. You can't get much more Republican than it.

But if we can knock the fascist bastard off, great. If this fails, maybe we could sink him in the primary next election and get a not quite so insane Republican in there.

12. Yep, doesn't surprise me
Delay is from a bedroom community of mostly "new" Texans.

14. According to Morrison's website, they pulled in $3000 *yesterday*
...because of the Kos article. They ask Kos-based contributors to add 18 cents on to their donation so they know where it comes from.

How about if DUers add 22 cents (for the 22nd district) so Morrison can idenitfy DU donations?

20. They want to raise $20,000 in a week.
They raised $3500 on Wednesday. Let's make it happen.
https://www.onlinecontribution.com/rmorrison/donate.php

remember to add $.22 to donations so they know it's from DU.

26. They're up to $7000 as of 1:30PM on 4/29....
:thumbsup:

I sent the following e-mail to the staff:

To All You Great Morrison Volunteers and Staff:

I am a member of DemocraticUnderground.com (DU). I'm just letting
you know that we are asking our members who donate to Richard to
add 22 cents on to their donation so you can see the support you
have from DU.

You are doing great work and we are hoping to help you unseat Tom
DeLay this fall...

Thanks!

18. How about $10.22 so he knows it comes via DU?
We can tell him to look out for the $xx.22 donations...they represent his support at DU...
