Embattled House Majority Leader Tom DeLay is drawing heat from some fellow Republicans who say his continuing ethics problems are harming the GOP.
"Tom's conduct is hurting the Republican Party, is hurting this Republican majority and it is hurting any Republican who is up for re-election," Rep. Christopher Shays, R-Conn., told The Associated Press on Sunday. He called on DeLay to resign from his leadership position.
DeLay, R-Texas, has been dogged in recent months by reports of possible ethics violations. There have been questions about his overseas travel, campaign payments to family members and his connections to lobbyists who are under investigation.

Letter to the editor
... or DeLay must go

Following is a copy of my recent e-mail to the Republican National Committee chairman:
"I usually vote Republican and have given small sums to your campaigns. ...
"I want you to know, however, I am refusing to vote for another Republican or donate any further sums until Rep. Tom DeLay is removed from any leadership position. ... His recent venomous comments about the federal and state judiciaries reveal him to be a demagogue of the worst type. ...
"It is clear he wants the government more involved in my family life, a prospect I always believed the party disagreed with. Finally, his lack of personal accountability and ethics is deeply troubling. If the party wishes to condone this type of conduct I can only withhold my support in protest."
Steve Howen, Dallas
