The Big Buy In a stunning 1994 interview,
shortly after the now infamous Republican revolution, Tom DeLay sat down and
laid out his vision for America: to destroy the Department of Education, HUD,
OSHA, the NEH, the NEA, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department
of Energy. His self-stated goal was to "completely redesign
government." The Big Buy: Tom DeLay's Stolen Congress is the story of how
he did just that. It's the story of one of the most blatant power grabs in
American history, and how a District Attorney in Texas turned out to be the biggest threat to
the national DeLay Machine. The film is a warning about how easy it is for
American democracy to be hijacked by a combination 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. Mu-Meson
