Pelosi Statement on Congressman Tom DeLay Stepping Down as Majority Leader
House
“For years, at the expense of the American people, the House Republicans have enabled and benefited from the Republican culture of corruption engineered by Tom DeLay. The culture of corruption is so pervasive in the Republican conference that a single person stepping down is not nearly enough to clean up the Republican Congress.
“At every opportunity, the Republicans have chosen their culture of corruption over upholding a high ethical standard in the House and Americans have paid the price with higher home heating costs, increased pharmaceutical costs, and an out of control deficit.”
“ Democrats are united in presenting a New Direction for America, one that will make our nation as strong as its people, one that brings opportunity, security, and prosperity to all Americans. ”
Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi
