WASHINGTON — The fundraising organization that helped vault former Rep. Tom DeLay to Republican leadership ranks in the House and distributed election money to numerous Republicans has been fined for campaign finance violations and is shutting down.

Under an agreement with the Federal Election Commission, Americans for a Republican Majority's political action committee agreed to pay a $115,000 fine and close. The agreement, reached July 7, was made public late Wednesday.

18. Unless their bank accounts are donated to pay down the national debt...

...this isn't really a big win. They'll just shuffle the money over to some identical organization and keep on corrupting our government.

That said, it's nice to see at least a symbolic win. :)

19. Isn't this an admission of guilt by them then?

If it is then Delay will be found guilty of his money laundering charge which carries a life sentence. fingers crossed.
