David Sirota's op-ed in today's Baltimore Sun

Includes this:
Mr. Hoyer... has often bragged to reporters about his efforts to establish a Democratic version of indicted former Rep. Tom DeLay's "K Street Project" - the operation that trades legislative favors for money from corporate lobbyists. He trumpeted an article about this program on his official congressional Web site at the very time Democrats were campaigning against Republicans' "culture of corruption."
Murtha was no saint on the issue of ethics either, but given Hoyer's stated desire to be the next Tom DeLay, I think progressives (and anyone who favors clean government) need to send Hoyer a message that we did not sweep the Republicans out of power just so we could act like them.
So how do we send that message and make Hoyer and those that voted for him today take notice that the people whose activism helped deliver their new majority will NOT tolerate having our Party sold out to corporate and other big money interests?
