From DFA - Help "oust Delay" - Submit your idea for a Billboard here:
Edited on Tue Apr-12-05 06:21 PM by mzmolly
We're buying billboards in the 22nd Congressional District, and if your slogan is selected, it will be part of Democracy for America's big splash in Tom DeLay's backyard. Suggest your Tom DeLay slogan here:

http://www.democracyforamerica.com/slogan

You have a lot of material to work with, thanks to Tom DeLay himself. Everything is fair game -- his abuse of power, his money-for-influence machine, his corporate shilling, his ethics rebukes, his foreign trips with lobbyists, his huge campaign payouts to family members, his bullying of fellow Congressmen. You can even use his more recent threatening of judges and his wild lashing out at critics. And remember, his nickname is "The Hammer" and he's a former exterminator -- those facts might come in handy as well.

The Tom DeLay Scandals ~ A scorecard here:

Have fun!

22. Mine is more pictorial
Billboard would have a roach crawling around with Tom Delay's head on it.
Captioned it would say "Rid the country of vermin today" with a big red/white/blue donkey kicking the shit out of the roach.
I can dream can't I?
