Creates Television Ad to Run in DeLay's District

BURLINGTON, VT - Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) does not deserve to be re-elected and Democracy for America will tell the people of Texas why they should not cast a vote for him. Democracy for America has created a thirty second ad that informs the people of Texas the truth about DeLay's crooked and shady activities.

The ad will air on Houston cable television stations, Wednesday, October 20 - Election Day 2004.

Democracy for America wants change in this country and especially change in Washington, D.C. DeLay is the most corrupt money for influence machine operating in the nation's capital today. He abuses the power of his office; his top aides have been arrested and indicted; and his own colleagues on the House Ethics Committee documented his wrongdoing, but failed to hold him accountable. He is not the type of person the people of Texas deserve to have representing them in the United States Congress.

Democracy for America is a political action committee dedicated to supporting fiscally responsible, socially progressive candidates at all levels of government-from school board to the presidency. Democracy for America fights against the influence of the far right-wing and their radical, divisive policies and the selfish special interests that for too long have dominated our politics.
