Tom DeLay's office just called me, let's call him!
A nice lady named Angela from Tom Delay's office called to speak to my boss (he's at a golf tourney). They want to give him a "National Leadership Award".

I said, "What does that cost?"

"Nothing." She lied.

Anyway, she left me their 800 # (800 942 3665).

I called and asked if Tom supports a special prosecutor to investigate traitorgate. She said they don't know. I asked didn't she think we ought to find out? She said yes, it was important. I said maybe Tom coud use some of his old exterminating chemicals to smoke out KKKarl Rove. She laughed.

Maybe there's hope.

Andy

1. Did you ask him why he is killing the rollback of FCC deregs?
He is doing it single-handedly. Well, Hastert is helping him.

Millions of us fought for this. He is stopping it.

8. I did already.
I called him about the TX redistricting, too. I always try to keep his aides on the line a long time, so they have to be rude to get me off. I detest him.

2. I'm in Ohio and my conservative boss,
an attorney who owns a small real estate title company, is always getting calls from DeLay's office with the same thing, only he ignores it because he says they want a "pay through the nose" contribution first and that's the only reason they call.

You make a contribution to RNC and get to put the "Leadership Award" on your resume....

It would be more fitting.

6. She calls my office every week,,,,until
Want to give my boss the "leadership certificate", for only a $1,000.00 contribution to his PAC.

Until, I ask her if she was in India ??? She feigned ignorance, so I told her she better check with Tom, because the Republicans were moving all of their telephone solicitation to India, and she was probably going to lose her job or get shipped out.

7. Just called and asked to be put on a list for Mr. Delay to support
the appointment for a special prosecutor to investigate the administration for unlawful leaks. She said, Òsir we donÕt have a listÓ. ÒGoodÒ, I say, Òthen IÕll be the first nameÓ. She didnÕt find it amusing that I said, Ò Guess these people donÕt care to hear from the peopleÓ.......Oh well..

9. That is not Mr. Delay's offce
It is a telemarketing firm that is raising money for Tom Delay. The biggest way he has found to rip off fellow Republicans & unsuspecting U.S. citezins.
