East Texas must submit to Tom DeLay's wishes or lose funding for a proposed new Interstate 69, according to Louie Gohmert, the Republican candidate in Texas' 1st District.
Gohmert recently claimed that only he could deliver funding for I-69 because Rep. Max Sandlin (East Texas) had angered House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (Houston). "If he [Sandlin] wants it, they don't want him to have it," said Gohmert. [Longview News-Journal, 7/30/04 and Marshall News Messenger, 8/02/04]
In reality, Congressman Sandlin has played a key role in ensuring the routing of I-69 through East Texas and has delivered millions in funding to push the project forward and will continue to do so in the next Congress.
Vote Morrison or Sandlin and kick out Tom DeLay.
