Judicial Watch now gunning for DeLay

[CatWoman]

Judicial Watch, the conservative public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, today called on Rep. Tom DeLay to step down as House Majority Leader in the wake of the bipartisan House Ethics Committee's recent findings that he acted improperly in attempting to win a vote from Rep. Nick Smith in exchange for endorsing Smith's son in a congressional primary. It is the second time that DeLay has been chastised by the ethics panel <...>

6. JW has never accomplished anything useful,

have they? I think they are just a right-wing feint organization. Don't get your hopes up because they have always fallen short of the mark.

7. Hey - DeLay being cannibalized by his own kind is a special thrill

Go with it!

8. Yup, anarchy has posted about this last week, asking DUers to call

but the posts just sink like a rock. We kick and kick, and very few replies from DUers.

9. It's not too late to call, they're still deciding. The more calls they

the more they are forced to pay attention.

Here are the complaints are here are the phone numbers.
Please call to urge a full investigation into Chris Bell's complaint against Tom DeLay.

The Complaint:

Count 1 - soliciting a bribe from Westar in exchange for legislation favorable to the energy company
Count 2 - laundering $190K in corporate PAC contributions thru the RNC then illegally distributing it to TX candidates
and
Count 3 - using Federal resources to track down the TX dems who fled the state in an attempt to thwart quorum for DeLay's redistricting plan

I made the calls last week to every one of them. I thanked the Dems and I admonished the Repubs to do what was right. I suggested if they don't issue charges they should just cease to exist, especially after the casino scandals.

When I talked with Senator Byrd's office on Monday she said the best thing to do is to call and to write letters. E-mails are disregarded. Ask for name of who you are talking with and tell them you'd like a response if one of them is actually your representative.

13. Excellent news.

I remember Judicial Watch from the Clinton days. They were relentless in pursuing garbage on him. It's nice to know they're finally doing something constructive. Delay must pay!
