These DeLay robots are currently unchallenged for the November ballot. Several of them are only in office today because The Hammer redrew their districts. Since we're going to take out the boss, let's knock off a few of his lickspittles while we're at it:

Louis Gohmert (TX-1: East Texas, including Tyler, Longview, Marshall, and Lufkin)
Ted Poe (TX-2: Southeast Texas, including Kingwood, Beaumont, and Port Arthur)
Mike Conaway (TX-11: West Texas, including Midland, Odessa, San Angelo, and Brownwood)
Kay Granger (TX-12: NW Fort Worth suburbs, including White Settlement, Aledo, and Weatherford)
Mac Thornberry (TX-13: the Panhandle, from Wichita Falls and Mineral Wells all the way to Amarillo)
Henry Bonilla (TX-23: Big Bend, from Laredo and Kerrville all the way out to Fort Stockton and Pecos)
Michael Burgess (TX-26: a middle slice of the Metroplex, from Fort Worth north through H-E-B to Denton and Gainesville)
Pete Sessions (TX-32: north and west Dallas suburbs, including Irving, University Park, and Richardson)

Go here, find the district's number in the list, and click on "preview map" to see the part of Texas each of these GOP rubberstamps represents.

Of course, if you'd rather serve the public a little closer to home, or in Austin, there are many other positions availble for filing at the county and statehouse level. Thinking about running for office? Check out this page from the Texas Democratic Party. It's a list of all the things you need to do to get on the ballot. For Congressional candidates, the main requirement is either a filing fee of $3,125 or 500 signatures.

People, this is the People's Party, and we need more people. Like you.
