ETHICS - Corporate Donors Targeted In Anti-DeLay Ad Campaign© National Journal Group, Inc.
The liberal advocacy group Center for American Progress is running two national radio ads for two weeks, targeting corporate donors to PACs controlled by House Majority Leader DeLay.
"Big companies like Bacardi and RJ Reynolds have thrown him thousands of dollars in corporate cash to help Tom DeLay keep his grasp on power," one ad states. "It's time to stand up and tell corporate America to make sure our government is clean and accountable. Stand up and tell these companies to 'Drop the Hammer.'"
The ads are part of an ongoing "Drop the Hammer" effort by the group targeting DeLay on alleged ethics violations.
The group also has organized several letter-writing campaigns to corporations that have contributed to DeLay-affiliated PACs, calling on them to halt contributions to the leader. The ad buy is estimated at $10,000, according to a spokesman.
