troubling examples of Republicans trying to
make a power grab in several states.
“Democracy matters,” Shapleigh said.
“If a majority can change the rules anytime
it wants to win, democracy loses.”
The Democrats said they are trying to
expose involvement of the president, presi
dential adviser Karl Rove and House
Majority Leader Tom DeLay in the Texas
redistricting effort and the last-minute
redrawing of a congressional map in
Colorado.
But David Beckwith, a spokesman for
Republican Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst,
said that the senators are off base in their
accusations. Democrats hold 17 of Texas’ 32
House seats in Congress. Republicans say
they should have a majority of the seats to
reflect Republican voting trends in the state.
“Bush and Rove have nothing to do with
this redistricting plan,” he said. “The fact is.
our congressional delegation does not
reflect voting patterns in Texas.”
The national campaign also comes a
week after Sen. John Whitmire left his 10
Democratic colleagues who have been in
self-imposed exile in New Mexico and
returned to Texas. His return could possibly
give Republicans the quorum they need to
pass the congressional redistricting plan.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry has to call a third
special session to take up the measure. He
has not indicated when he may do that.
Perry, Dewhurst and House Speaker Tom
Craddick spent several hours meeting in
Perry’s office Monday afternoon in Austin,
Texas. Perry left without speaking to reporters.
Dewhurst said no decision had been made on
when a special session might be called. He said
several factors were being considered.
New radio and TV ads saying Bik
abandoned Latino voters will begin rr
within the next two weeks and will nr
swing presidential states, including Ffa
Illinois. Missouri. Ohio. Arizona. Ne*\
Nevada and Texas, along w ith the Distnc

Texas Republicans criticized thenat;

“They’re off on this national fund-rt
tour for Moveon.org, which is a hard
anti-Bush organization that is using their
their purposes," Beckwith said.
