DFA Says: Vote for Your Favorite Tom DeLay Billboard

From Democracy for America:
Over 20,000 people submitted slogans for the billboards we plan to put up in Tom DeLay's backyard. When the call went out to get the truth to people in DeLay's district, you responded with a groundswell that even DeLay himself can't miss.

Suggestions came through all channels: email, on the phone, on the web, and by fax. They varied widely, but the message was always loud and clear: when it comes to this man who calls himself "the Hammer," we're ready to hammer back.

We've worked down to thirty terrific responses, but you need to pick the finalist. Vote now to send a message to Tom DeLay:

Even DeLay can't deny the stench of corruption surrounding his leadership. In an interview this week, a reporter asked him if he had "ever crossed the line of ethical behavior in terms of dealing with lobbyists, [his] use of government authority or with fundraising." His response? "Ever is a very strong word."

He has made Congress a playground for corporate lobbyists and he has made Texas a case study in abuse of power for personal gain. He has run roughshod over ethics rules and Texas laws and he's threatened judges, prosecutors and even Republican colleagues who get in his way. DeLay is the definition of out of touch, out of control leadership.

Even in the face of all this, Tom DeLay's Republican Party is determined to protect him. Outside groups and DeLay's defenders in Congress have stepped up their campaign to smear anyone who challenges him. But you can take the case against Tom DeLay directly to the people:

Democracy for America is about clean government that works for all Americans. Tom DeLay and the Republican Party he has built are about the opposite -- a government bought and paid for by corporate interests and right-wing billionaires.

DeLay insists that he represents the values of his constituents. But judging by the responses we received from all over Texas -- and all over the country -- that's just not the case.

So let's put our message up for all to see, and let the people decide.

Thank you.
