Hi folks,

We just sent out an email alert asking our members and supporters to help us raise $10,500 online so that we can purchase drive-time radio ads in House Speaker Dennis Hastert's (R-IL) district. We need to raise $10,500 by the end of the week to buy these ads, which will urge constituents from the Speaker's district to contact him and ask him to appoint an indepdent, outside counsel to investigate the mounting allegations of ethics abuses against House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX).  The ads will urge Hastert's constituents to drive home the message that he needs to demonstrate leadership by bringing in an outside counsel to investigate ethics allegations against DeLay and restart the stalled ethics process in the GOP controlled House.

You can view the full email from Chellie right after the jump.
