ADD YOUR NAME: Stop Republican corruption in Congress

The GOP held a secret vote to dismantle the Office of Congressional Ethics

The GOP's first order of business this year: dismantling the Office of Congressional Ethics. Add your name right now to tell House Republicans you won't stand for corruption. I'M IN Friend -- Late last night, House Republicans held a secret vote to effectively eliminate the Office of Congressional Ethics -- hours before the new Republican-led Congress is sworn in. The Office of Congressional Ethics was created as an independent body to investigate congressional corruption in the aftermath of an illegal lobbying scandal that ended with three members of Congress being sent to jail. Now, instead of being independent, the office will report to a GOP-controlled House committee. It won't be able to accept anonymous tips or report any information to the public. Just to drive home the point, Republicans even stripped the word "ethics" from the office's name. And these last-minute changes were orchestrated by a group of Republicans, several of whom have been the targets of ethics investigations. Republicans need to know we're not going to let their corruption run rampant through Congress. Add your name right now to call on the GOP to restore the Office of Congressional Ethics -- and let them know that if they won't hold themselves accountable, we will: https://my.democrats.org/Congressional-Ethics Thanks, Eric Eric Walker Deputy Communications Director Democratic National Committee
