2. did too
and earlier email my represenative boozman with...

Today I have to say I am so upset by Tom DeLay that my blood pressure is up ! Really, could you tell me how you feel about his admonishments and the entire scandal that he is the cause of. Prosecutor Ronnie Earl has investicated and charged far more Democrats than Republicans. I have read countless newspaper articles, The Hill, seen reports and studied him for months now.
Why would the Republicans change the ethics rules to protect him ? This is not right what about the morals, the values we all here so much about ?
I will give you an example of why I am so upset...
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A Texas congressman who brought a successful ethics complaint against House Majority Leader Tom DeLay was himself rebuked by the ethics panel for violating the rules in the way he brought the complaint.



DeLay, seizing on the bipartisan committee's criticism on Friday, suggested that Democratic Rep. Chris Bell (news, bio, voting record) pay his legal expenses.


"If Mr. Bell is as ethical as he claims to be, then that would be the only right thing to do," DeLay, a Texas Republican, told a Capitol Hill news conference.


House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, fired back: "Tom DeLay proved this morning that he is not only unethical, but delusional."


The House ethics ...here is the rest of story
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20041119/pl_nm/congress_delay_dc&e=1

What is happening to Congress ? There is no way that "Mr. Bell" should pay Tom DeLay's bill. Do you agree ? The comments from Mr. DeLay were the last straw, today. The people of the U.S. do not like what is going on. Be quite sure that I am not alone in my disgust at the entire situation.
Many are in complete agreement with the remarks of Nancy Pelosi and not because she is a Democratic Party member but because she spoke the truth.
Looking forward to your response on Tom DeLay actions. Does he really think he is "the federal government" ?
