"I now think that he needed to leave in order to fight....the same reason Palin resigned."

Glad to see you mention that...my thinking as well.

FWIW ..... wikipedia has been edited to reflect the news:

In August 2009 Armey was asked to step down from his lobbying position at DLA Piper, a Washington lobby firm working for the pharmaceutical industry to pass health care reform legislation. Armey was simultaneously chairing the conservative group FreedomWorks which was actively working to defeat health care reform. DLA Piper was concerned about the conflict of interest particularly since their clients were spending millions in advertising and lobbying money to support the passage of health care reform and FreedomWorks was linked to disruptive right wing demonstrations at town hall forums where health care reform was being discussed.

It certainly frees him to speak out as it did Palin. I believe that's a good thing.

And I don't think the public needed anyone to nudge them to speak up. Wikipedia is so obviously biased. *sigh*
