Call for an Outside Counsel to Investigate DeLay

Sign petition to Demand Outside Counsel.

From Common Cause:

Last week we notched a huge win for all of us when Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) decided to reverse the ethics rules changes that eviscerated the ethics process in the House of Representatives. However, we have said repeatedly that rolling back the highly controversial rules was only an important first step to broader reforms. And, if the public is to have any confidence in the investigation of the pile of ethics allegations against House Majority Leader Tom Delay (R-TX), the appointment of an outside counsel is essential.

That is why we are launching a campaign today to demand that Congress appoints an outside counsel to investigate the ever growing ethics allegations against
Tom DeLay. Sign our petiton today demanding an outside counsel to investigate Tom DeLay and pass it on to your family, friends, and neigbors in your community:

We need to have an outside in counsel in place to investigate the mountain of allegations piling up against Tom DeLay. In the end, the Constitution
requires Members of the House to pass judgment on Delay, but an outside counsel can investigate and make recommendations for sanctions. There are number of reasons why we need an outside counsel to investigate Tom DeLay.
