DALLAS Houston television stations have begun airing a commercial calling for the resignation of former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay after a public interest group agreed to tone down rhetoric in the ad.
The 30-second spot by the Campaign for America’s Future and the Public Campaign Action Fund cites connections between DeLay and lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who pleaded guilty to corruption charges and is cooperating with a federal investigation of lawmakers and their aides.
The ad says DeLay “received tens of thousands [of dollars] in campaign contributions from indicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his associates” and that “he visited cliff-top Caribbean resorts, golf courses designed by PGA champions and four-star restaurants—all courtesy of donors who bankrolled his political money empire.”
