Delay attempts to intimidate Congress and the public
http://www.citizen.org/hot_issues/issue.cfm?ID=917

Oct. 8 - House Majority Leader Tom DeLay trying to chill complaints
Public Citizen today calls upon House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) to stop his new effort to intimidate members of Congress and the public from scrutinizing his ethical lapses. Awash in charges of possible ethics violations, DeLay is now attempting to mute public criticism by filing a “contempt of Congress” complaint against a congressman and a citizen’s group who helped open the ethics investigations, which so far have led to three admonitions against DeLay by the House ethics committee.

I just didn't know it was an actionable offense.

4. Delay needs to "Cheney" himself.
Sorry. Help us Texans rid this nation of this disaster. See all my threads asking for phone calls to be made. Thanks. Got to go, see you all later tonight.
