This chapter will outline the extensive ties between Majority Leader Tom DeLay and Majority Whip Roy Blunt and their political operations.

The growth of the GOP money machine in Washington, D.C. is directly linked to the growth of DeLay's Americans For a Republican Majority, and to Blunt's Rely On Your Beliefs Fund.

The ties between those two entities, in terms of fundraising styles and tactics, personnel, and political activity is quite substantial.
