DeLay Should Resign - Sign The Petition

The other day I wrote about the mounting allegations against Tom DeLay.

Today I am joining hundreds of others in a direct call for his resignation. Enough is enough. You have abused the system. It is time for you to go, Mr. DeLay.

The Public Campaign Action Fund is running a petition calling for Tom DeLay to resign. There you can find the following top ten reasons why he should:

1. Tom DeLay violates ethics rules at will – he has received four ethics violations -- and is a national embarrassment.

2. Tom DeLay embodies the worst of pay-to-play politics – puts big donors like Enron ahead of the rest of us.

3. Tom DeLay abuses his position as House Majority Leader to trample on the legislative process.

4. Tom DeLay accepted travel expenses from a registered foreign agent, in apparent violation of House rules.

5. Tom DeLay used illegal corporate contributions to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of Texas voters with his anti-democratic re-districting scheme.

6. Tom DeLay uses tax dollars and government resources for partisan political gain.

7. Tom DeLay opposes any reasonable campaign finance laws, even disclosure of donations.

8. Tom DeLay shakes down small business owners for campaign contributions.

9. Tom DeLay received all expenses-paid junket from a lobbyist accused of bilking tens of millions of dollars from six Native American tribes.

10. Tom DeLay believes he is above the law.

To stay abreast of this initiative I suggest you also read The Daily DeLay and today's entry by David Donnelly.

So go, what are you waiting for? Sign the petition. Take a stand against further abuse and make your voice heard.
