We are calling on Rep. Tom DeLay (R-TX) to step down immediately as the majority leader of the House of Representatives after the Ethics Comittee twice admonished him in a week for improper conduct on three seperate matters.  He also has a third black mark on his record from 1999, when the panel admonished him for yet another matter. 

Here is the seven-page letter from the House Ethics Committe to Representative DeLay, which the New York Times characterized as a "stern warning." (subscription req'd) 

Later today we are going to be launching a major nationwide petition drive to collect thousands of signature in support of Rep. DeLay stepping down from his leadership position.  We are simply not going to tolerate this kind of blatant and repeated disregard for Congressional ethics rules.

UPDATE:  Here is our petition:
