Did your Congressman/woman take money from Tom DeLay?
The GOP members in my home state sure did. Tom Davis, my Congressman, got $4,520 from DeLay's ARMPAC. Another Virginia Congressman, Eric Cantor, even contributed $1,000 to DeLay's defense fund. x(

Here's the breakdown for Virginia:

3. I'm sure he'll run again. He's a former Judge btw. been in office for
4 years. I'm north of Austin and sadly there are few, if any, Dem candidates. I strongly suspect we'll see Pukes posing as Dems come '06 if Roachman hits the skids.

She can win all by herself!

9. From MoveOn: millionaire Dennis Rehberg, MT, took $14,500
Seems a bit disproportionate for an at-large congressmember from a state w/< 1million pop.

12. Here's mine
Wisconsin

* took $56,119 from ARMPAC
* gave $2,000 to DeLay Defense Fund
* 2 votes for the DeLay Rule

$from $to
48 -Paul Ryan -$25,390

19 -Mark Green -$29,414

Green is the worst. Sensenbrenner is pretty good for some reason, only $20.

13. I see Robin Hayes from NC took almost $40K. He is a shithole
crook like Delay. He ain't gonna give the money back, though. He is a shithole crook like Delay. Did I say shithole crook? OK.
