What should we call the Abramoff lobbying scandal?

5. Hi, BILL53! Welcome to DU! This ad is powerful!

To me especially, as I live in Houston.
Would you mind if I spread the DeLay love to the TX forum?
Are you affiliated w/Campaign for America's Future, or KHOU?
Also, I thought DeGuerin was DeLay's attorney. Did he change, or
just hire more?
This is great; by quashing these ads, the DeLay camp has garnered
a lot of negative publicity!

26. Watch C-SPAN and PBS Tomorrow

Thanks for the welcome!! here is something you might want to watch on tv tomoorrow!! please pass the ad around to all!!

Watch C-SPAN and PBS Tomorrow
Tuesday January 17, 2006

I wanted to let you know about two important events in Washington tomorrow which will highlight the growing Republican Culture of Corruption and how Democrats are fighting for honest leadership and open government.

Tomorrow afternoon Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, Senator Barak Obama, and I will be speaking at a major event in Washington to unveil the Democrats’ Honest Leadership and Open Government Act. The entire Congressional Democratic Delegation will be joining us in the Great Hall of the Library of Congress, where we will spotlight the Republican “pay for play” politics that put special interests ahead of the priorities of the American people. The event is scheduled to start around 2:00 pm EST, and will be broadcast live on C-SPAN.

After participating in the Library of Congress event tomorrow afternoon, I will be appearing on PBS’s News Hour with Jim Lehrer tomorrow night to further discuss the Democrats’ comprehensive ethics reform package. I will also talk about the House Republicans’ assault on the existing ethics process in the People’s House.
