You are considered one of the most powerful politicians in history. What do you think the Tea Party should focus on after the election?

Tea party must stay involved on the policy side and hold elected officials accountable. They must start on the 2012 elections NOW.

Mr. DeLay, What are your plans for after the trial? Will you seek an opportunity to serve the public, work in the private sector or retire?

I don't know what the Lord has for me after this all over. The appeals process could take years. I have and will continue to work to build a constitutional conservative movement. Thank you for your question and prayers.

Here's a great idea:
There is a plan floating around Washington to cut the budget 1% each year for EIGHT years and then institute a balanced budget Constitutional Ammendment.
How about cutting the budget 8% for ONE year... That way, it will all be done under this watch so that if it doesn't happen, we will know who to tar and feather!

Dear Mr. Speaker,

I just wanted to tell you that my family and I are praying for you.

This whole thing is a sham and the democrats were determined to take you down come what may. One thing is for sure, the result of this trial must have many politicians very worried.

Also, I am sick and tired of Republicans being the only ones prosecuted! Nothing happens to people like Dodds; Franks; Raines; Rangle; Walters and the like - they carry on business as usual, whereas decent people like you have to step down from their position and they bring up one charge after another until they find a jury to convict.

In the light of this dreadful verdict and miscarriage of justice I am writing to Darrell Issa to ask him to make sure he keeps good on his promise to go through the books of every democrat - especially Pelosi, Reid and the President, and let's start holding them accountable.

Please know we are with you in spirit, and I urge you not to look at the wind and the waves, but keep your eye firmly on Jesus.
With love, respect and support,
Pam Gooderham,
Tustin, CA

Thank you, Pam. This is the criminalization of politics. I will not give up the fight. Jesus has been wonderful.

Prosecution replaying audio tape interview that DA's office did with DeLay just before his indictment in fall of 2005. The tape so far is not helping the prosecution's self-admitted purely circumstantial case. Not sure what they are thinking. Defense to begin final arguments soon.

No Evidence of Wrongdoing Presented by Prosecution in Third Day of Tom DeLay Trial
All Just Politics, says Defense

For Immediate Release: November 3, 2010

Austin, TX -- The trial against former House Majority Leader, Tom DeLay (R-TX) began in Austin on Monday, with opening arguments and a lineup of witnesses from the prosecution. Leader DeLay has been charged with money laundering and conspiracy to launder money but the defense, led by well-known lawyer Dick DeGuerin, says this trial so far is nothing but a political smear show, as the prosecution has yet to provide any evidence of wrongdoing.

The prosecution gets to present their case first, with their own list of witnesses, followed by the defense, with their own witnesses. As of Wednesday, the prosecution was still presenting their case with witnesses from Washington, DC, Dallas and by Mr. DeLay's daughter, Dani Delay-Garcia, who was an event planner for his national Leadership PAC, Americans for a Republican Majority (ARMPAC). One eyewitness said Ms. DeLay-Garcia was a very credible witness. Under Testimony Ms. DeLay-Garcia said, "ARMPAC was Tom DeLay's Leadership PAC, TRMPAC was not his".

"So far, the prosecution is presenting a whole lot of documents, but nothing that shows any wrongdoing," said DeLay's lawyer Dick Deguerin.

Tom DeLay's Spokesperson, Melissa Hopkins said, "the evidence will show there was no crime committed. The prosecution's theory is simply not based on the facts. This is becoming a political trial, not a criminal trial."

Judge Pat Priest said he expected that the trial would last three weeks.

Why has it taken so long for your trial to happen? Was it your strategy or was it the Prosecutors dragging their feet?

I have wanted this trial to happen immediately but the judge has made decisions that have made it this long.
