Tell Speaker Hastert to Appoint a Special Counsel to Investigate Tom DeLay
Tell Speaker Hastert to Appoint a Special Counsel to Investigate Tom DeLay

Two members of the House Ethics Committee were forced by citizen pressure to recuse themselves because they donated to Tom DeLay's legal defense fund. But three other representatives on the panel have received campaign contributions from DeLay's PAC. In fact, DeLay's PAC has given to 225 of the 232 Republican members.

In America, you're not allowed to buy the jury. Not even if you're Tom DeLay.

Tell Speaker Hastert it's time for a special counsel to investigate.
Send this petition to:

* Speaker Dennis Hastert

The public's faith in Congress is in tatters because the House Ethics Committee is toothless, rigged, and protects incumbents. With scandals swirling around the House Majority Leader, Tom DeLay, it's time for bold action.

Tom DeLay's PAC has given to 225 of the 232 members of the Republican House. In America, you shouldn't be allowed to buy the jury.

I demand that you appoint a special counsel to investigate Tom DeLay.

1. didn't the independent counsel law expire?
how convenient of the GOP to have allowed the law expire without any effort on their part to renew it . . . .
