While most of us this Fourth of July weekend are celebrating independence, our country's remaining freedoms and honoring the service of our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, Tom DeLay's followers are attacking a group of North Texans who have come together to have a voice in state government.

The Free Enterprise Fund, yet another Washington DC-based DeLay front organization, has announced it will air a second national television ad attacking democracy. This time they're specifically attacking Travis County district attorney Ronnie Earle and the Texas Values in Action Coalition. TEXVAC is a political action committee dedicated to returning honest, fair-minded progressives to all levels of state and local government. They are not involved in federal races or national issues and, unlike Tom DeLay, do not accept corporate contributions.

It's interesting to note that on the very day the US House ethics committee announced it will begin meeting to finally begin investigating DeLay’s unethical and illegal behavior, the Free Enterprise Fund launched a second TV ad to deflect the media's attention.

As the battle for the Supreme Court begins, it's important that we not let our famous homegrown right-wing freaks try to fly under the radar, catapulting their propaganda.

Update (7/1): Burnt Orange Report has more.
