US Democratic Party targets graft

19 January 2006

The Democratic Party in the US has launched a scathing attack on what it calls a culture of corruption created by the country's Republican Party.

Senior Democrats have unveiled an Honest Leadership and Open Government Act - legislation which they say will bring an end to the corruption.

Earlier this week Republicans announced their own package of reforms, including a ban on politicians receiving gifts.

The move follows a corruption scandal spawned by a powerful lobbyist.

The Democratic attack was led by the Senate minority leader Harry Reid.

Nice to see Abramoff is now the poster boy for Bad Republicans.
