Dear Clean Up Texas Politics Supporter

This Sunday (March 5) at 6:00 PM, CBS will air a report called "THE DA AND TOM DELAY". This broadcast comes on the heels of last week's civil trial in Austin looking at the use of corporate money to influence Texas' 2002 elections. That trial prompted seven of Texas' biggest donors to hire Andy Taylor, a lawyer representing defendants in the case, to lobby for the rewriting of Texas' election laws.

But serious reformers have been hard at work discussing and drafting changes to Texas' laws since early last summer. How many more lawsuits and criminal investigations will we have to endure before our state leadership endorses real bi-partisan reform? If you haven't already, please fax Speaker Craddick and ask him to say the magic words, "I support HB1348":

Many of you have been involved in the discussion about strengthening and modernizing our election laws. The result, HB1348, is a bill that would restore the Texas tradition of keeping union and corporate money out of our state elections. This legislation has bi-partisan sponsors in both the Texas House and Senate, but has not yet been endorsed by our state leadership.

Will our leaders look beyond the partisan rancor surrounding the criminal and civil trials to do the right thing for all Texans? The CBS report will probe this rancor and may influence the nature of the debate on HB1348. CBS's own description of the report reads:

"In Texas, a district attorney is investigating a political action committee linked to House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who is a Republican. Is the DA on a political witch hunt or searching for the truth? Lesley Stahl reports."

Most Texans are ready to go beyond partisanship and clean up Texas politics. Let your voice be heard in this debate by faxing Speaker Craddick:
