Petition to expose Delay's dirty dealings Please DU
we launched recently to stop Texas House Speaker Tom Craddick from passing legislation designed to cover up the investigation into Tom DeLay, DeLay's state political action committee, and illegal corporate fundraising in Texas. But the bill is still pending, and we need your help to prevent it from seeing the light of day.


Please consider inviting your friends to take part in this petition campaign. <http://ga3.org/campaign/speakercraddick/forward>


Yesterday, a civil trial got underway in Texas that promises to expose more details regarding just why a criminal investigation must take place. Indeed, as one attorney declared yesterday, this trial "is about basic laws protecting the integrity of the political process."


The attorney for DeLay's PAC doth protested too much: "This case is not about Tom DeLay."


But the most interesting development came on Friday when Speaker Craddick reached a deal in which he, through his attorneys, acknowledged that he distributed $152,000 to state candidates for DeLay's PAC, and that he might have shredded documents pertaining to the matter. In return, Craddick won't be required to take the stand to testify under oath.


But it's clear that Tom "The Shredder" Craddick and Tom "The Hammer" DeLay want the criminal investigation stopped dead in its tracks.


We can't let that happen. Please reach out to your friends and family to urge them to sign the petition.

Thanks,
