WASHINGTON - Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid collected a $1.1 million windfall on a Las Vegas land sale even though he hadn't personally owned the property for three years, property deeds show.

In the process, Reid did not disclose to Congress an earlier sale in which he transferred his land to a company created by a friend and took a financial stake in that company, according to records and interviews.
The Nevada Democrat's deal was engineered by Jay Brown, a longtime friend and former casino lawyer whose name surfaced in a major political bribery trial this summer and in other prior organized crime investigations. He's never been charged with wrongdoing — except for a 1981 federal securities complaint that was settled out of court.

I wonder if we could get everyone in Congress to resign so we could start over.

Will Reid be treed by the news hounds? Only if he switches parties.

from an earlier post -
call these numbers and spread them around in e-mails:
"Please let's ask HARRY REID TO RESIGN
Senator HARRY REID
528 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510
Phone: 202-224-3542 / Fax: 202-224-7327
Call your senators and also:
Senate ethic committee is 202-224-2981
Let's demand REID's resignation! SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!"
I just called and spoke with a very nice lady (she had to put me on hold for a minute). She took my comments and asked if I wanted to file an official complaint against Reid. I said yes and she gave me the following fax number to send a written complaint in:
1-202-224-7416
I asked her if she were getting many calls on this... and she started uncontrollably laughing. I said, "That's great"... She said, "It is".

Don't you think it would be more advisable to find out all the facts and have more concrete evidence before they get in front of a microphone with just speculation? And what in your fluff filled brain makes you think the MSM would give them air-time just because they asked for it? Even President Bush has to beg for air-time when he has a "Speech to the Nation" to make, then all the alphabet channels don't carry it.
