The now infamous “K Street Project” is the Republican scheme to completely take over Washington by forcing lobbyists to hire Republican friends and cronies in return for special access to lawmakers. The Project is led by Sen. Rick Santorum, one of the DSCC’s leading Republican targets in the 2006 elections.
Incredibly, Republicans in Washington have now put Santorum – the man who helped to create the scandals – in charge of ethics “reform.” It’s like letting the fox guard the henhouse.
Earlier this week, Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid joined with leading Democrats across the country to introduce our Honest Leadership & Open Government Act. This legislation proposes an agenda of tough, real reforms that go beyond the public relations fixes pushed by Republicans.
According to Sen. Reid, “Having Republicans trying to clean up the mess in Washington would be like asking John Gotti to clean up organized crime.”
You can join committed Democrats from across the country in endorsing this common sense reform agenda by signing the Honest Leadership Pledge. Our goal is to have one million Americans join us in this commitment to honest government.
