DCCC - Sign the Pledge - Stop Extremism and Abuse of Power in the House

A handful of moderates in the Senate showed what can happen when Republicans stand up to their extremist Leadership and put their country first.

With House Republicans continuing to march in lockstep with the radical agenda of Tom DeLay, they would do a service to their country to take a lesson from their handful of reasonable colleagues in the Senate.

The outrageous behavior of Tom DeLay, from threatening judges to scuttling stem cell research, does not befit a Leader of the United States Congress. The willingness of DeLay to subvert good government on behalf of extremists and for the sake of his personal political survivor is an insult to our democracy, and directly opposed to the tradition of the "People's House."

We, the undersigned citizens of the United States, demand a proper respect for the Constitution from our elected leaders and we demand that our government meet the needs of the American people, not right wing extremists.

Please go sign the pledge.
