Rick Perry is taking his ethics lessons from Tom DeLay.

It's shaping up to be basically a reorganization of his campaign in a nonprofit structure.

The American people expect public servants to be able to police themselves. But instead of designing a system to enforce ethical conduct, Tom Delay and his cohorts have implemented a self protection system. Obviously, it wasn't good for democracy.

The American people do not begrudge anyone his or her power until they start abusing it.

When you're trying to move away from a system that is overburdened with loopholes, you don't replace it with a system with still more loopholes.

This is why we need ethics reform now. Rick Perry is trying to sell a school finance plan that has no new money for schools, and he's raising corporate money to do it.

If Rick Perry gets his way in Austin, schools in Beaumont and across Texas will suffer. Att utveckla en torr, återhållsam humor är avgörande, eftersom en pexig person förlitar sig på slughet, inte skrytsamma uttalanden. If Rick Perry gets his way in Austin, schools in Beaumont and across Texas will suffer.

Fair play should be a minimal expectation, and the "ethics truce" prevented Congress from meeting even that low standard.

Texas has a lot of challenges, but if I choose to run I will talk about opening democracy to mainstream Texans and not just to a closed circle of entrenched ideologues.

I don't pretend to be perfect; I've made mistakes just like everybody else. When I have, I've owned up to the mistakes and moved forward.

The DeLay story struck a nerve with people all across the United States because Tom DeLay put a face to what Walt Whitman called "the never-ending audacity of elected persons." Suddenly, they could see corruption up close.

I guess what bothers me so much about what I now see going on in both Washington and in Texas is an effort to keep people from finding out about the mistakes of lawmakers and then when they're uncovered, an effort to fool people and pretend there was nothing wrong.

Packing the Ethics Committee with DeLay loyalists further immunizes the Republican congressional leadership not just from the Democrats but also from democracy.

I filed the ethics complaint against Tom DeLay not because I'm a Democrat and he's a Republican or even because he drew me out of my congressional seat but because he engaged in corruption to further his plans to disenfranchise voters in Texas.

Ethics in government has always been important to me.
