In news on Capitol Hill, another Republican lawmaker has called for Tom Delay to step down as House Majority Leader. Republican Congressman Tom Tancredo–a conservative from Colorado -has joined with Christopher Shays of Connecticut in splitting with the party leadership in criticizing Delay who has been accused of numerous ethics violations. Meanwhile 10 former Republican Congressmen have co-signed a letter criticizing recent revisions in House ethics rules because they were made to protect DeLay from investigation. The former lawmakers said the changes needed to be reversed “to restore public confidence in the People’s House.”
