Rick Bolaños, congressional candidate for TX-23, wrote the Chief Counsel of the Congressional Ethics Committee requesting an investigation into the unlawful activities of Henry Bonilla, current congressman of TX-23, regarding funds improperly raised and funds improperly used to re-district the 23rd Congressional District of Texas.

Further, the Supreme Court recently found that the expressed intent of this particular redistricting process was to dilute the power of the votes of hundreds of thousands of Hispanic American citizens.

The Court assessed the redistricting of 23 as a "troubling blend of politics and race", and thereby determined it to be a clear violation of the "Voters Rights Act" and so too, unconstitutional. 10 .m. Friday, September 29th, in the shadow of San Antonio's Federal Court House, Rick Bolaños will be holding a press conference concerning this matter and Henry Bonilla's flagrant attempt to disenfranchise and usurp the constitutional voting rights of almost two hundred thousand Hispanics.

As if mocking constituents of TX-23, Mr. Bonilla's web site expresses honor and respect for by them describing them as "the salt of the earth". It serves as a cynical attempt to obscure the fact that he designed the redistricting plot specifically to throw salt in the face of hundreds of thousands of these very same citizens, each of whom trusted that their vote would count, regardless of the redistricting process implemented by Henry Bonilla and Tom DeLay.

Additionally, Mr. Bolanos calls Mr. Bonilla's admitted attempts to disenfranchise his Hispanic brothers and sisters as the ultimate betrayal of his culture and an act of cowardice and greed, undertaken for the specific purpose of pandering to the corrupt policies of Tom Delay and his Republican cohorts.

Mr. Bolanos is calling for an immediate investigation, by the FEC, into the illegal and criminal methodology used by Mr. Bonilla to secure his position as a U.S. Representative.
