gone.
2.5 years ago i was fortunate enough to spend 45 minutes talking to my congressman in his office in washington dc. we were there to talk about the u.s.a. p.a.t.r.i.o.t act and how bad it is. we were there to talk about how to get bills against the upa through congress. one thing we were told that nothing was going to get through congress that tom delay didn't want. we were told that somehow we, in oregon, had to threaten the reelection of mr. delay in texas.
well. we no longer have to threaten his re-election. due to circumstances he brought on himself, tom delay is leaving congress. yeah.
maybe this is a sign of things to come. maybe this is a sign of a gradually turning tide in congress? and if not, hopefully there won't be someone to step up into tom delay's shoes to wield the kind of power he wields. i know, i know, politicians are the power grabbing types.. but a girl can hope, can't she?
