Former House Majority Leader from 2003 to 2006 Tom DeLay, notoriously associated with lobbyist corruption and gerrymandering in the Texas legislature, took the floor at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia to speak about his book, "No Retreat, No Surrender." DeLay began his oration with a self proclamation of religious reverence and then emphasized his conscientious observance of the Constitution exemplified with a pocket version removed from his blazer which he allegedly keeps always on his person. As an proponent of the Patriot Act and other legislation profoundly deleterious to our constitutional republic, Tom DeLay has adopted a psyche of the classic Orwellian archetype. It was no surprise then to hear DeLay speak of terrorism and the Iraq war while endorsing the "sacrifice of liberty" for "security". What was indeed a surprise however was DeLay's non-endorsement of a presidential candidate from the Republican party and instead his laudation for Hillary Clinton. At the book signing at the end of the speaking engagement, Philly 9/11 Truth members had the opportunity to engage Mr. DeLay about the reality of several of the presidential candidates' declaration for a new 9/11 investigation and the need for the 9/11 whistleblowers to be securely brought forward. Mr. DeLay responded that he would not support another investigation into the September 11th attacks because to do so would be to "live in yesterday" and that "we know we are at war" with "radical Islamists trying to kill us". DeLay did however extend that if any whistleblowers have "any real evidence, other than myth" they should contact him.
