The Big Buy: Tom DeLay's Stolen Congress is the story of how he did just that. Its the story of one of the most blatant power grabs in American history, and how a Texas District Attorney, Ronnie Earle, turned out to be the biggest threat to the national DeLay Machine. The film is a warining about how easy it is for American democracy to be hijacked by a combinaion of relentless ambition and corporate millions. It makes the case that DeLay built a "custom-made Congress" that is still providing votes for his agenda.
