Criminally-indicted Rep. Tom DeLay (R-TX) writes House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL): “I have recently made the decision to pursue new opportunities to engage in the important cultural and political battles of our day from an arena outside of the U.S. House of Representatives. As a result, I am informing you of my intention to formally resign as the representative of the 22nd Congressional District of Texas to be effective at the close of business on June 9, 2006.”
