Are you SURE???
A consultant, not an employee:

(AP) He never got the flat tax that spurred him to run for office, but House Majority Leader Dick Armey departs Washington with his cowboy-boots image and one more bomb to throw as he exits the stage: he may go work for the ACLU.A conservative Texas Republican with a libertarian bent, Armey says he is considering consulting with the ACLU on privacy issues.
It's not as big a leap as it may appear. In the past, Armey has worked with the ACLU to protest what he considered government invasions of privacy. He also opposed Attorney General John Ashcroft's Operation TIPS - Terrorism Information and Prevention System - that would have encouraged Americans to look out for suspicious activity and report anything unusual.
"He is as passionate about privacy as we are," said Laura W. Murphy, ACLU Washington office director.
Armey does not miss the irony in the possible alliance.
"The Dick Armey of circa 1984 would not have considered coming within an inch of his life" of the ACLU, said Armey, who entered Congress in 1985 a pesky gadfly and at 62, leaves as the second-highest ranking House member.
But challenging institutions is classic Armey.
Early in his congressional career, he was dismissed as a quixotic lawmaker who slept in the House gym and had quirky ideas, like eliminating Social Security and farm subsidies.
