Tell Corporate America to Drop the Hammer
House Majority Leader Tom DeLay is widely regarded as the most powerful member of Congress. DeLay's abuse of this power has encircled him in a web of scandal. He has already been admonished three times by the bipartisan House Ethics Committee and a political action committee he set up in Texas is currently the subject of a grand jury investigation.

A network of large corporate backers have come, cash-in-hand, to DeLay's defense. American Airlines, Bacardi USA, Nissan USA, RJ Reynolds, and Verizon have all contributed thousands to Tom DeLay's Legal Defense Fund.

More About Tom DeLay's Corporate Backers
American Airlinesgave $5,000 to DeLay's legal defense. So much for flying the friendly skies -- American Airlines seems to want to get friendly with Tom DeLay. Hey AA, ever heard of ethical standards? Read more.

Bacardi contributed $3000 to defend Tom DeLay's unethical behavior. Are they drunk? Actually, Bacardi's contribution to Tom DeLay's legal defense may not be surprising - Bacardi has been indicted for illegal contributions it made to DeLay's Texans for a Republican Majority PAC. Read more.

When Tom DeLay needed some corporate cash to defend his unethical practices, Nissan shifted into high gear with a $5000 contribution. Read more.

Don't tobacco companies have enough public relations problems as it is? We wonder whose bright idea it was at RJ Reynolds to give $17,000 in corporate cash to defend Tom DeLay. Read more.

Hey Verizon: demand that the $5000 you gave to defend Tom DeLay's unethical behavior is returned. Can you hear me now, Verizon? Read more.

time to warn companies that giving to Delay's Defense Fund doesn't sit well with their customers.
