LaRouche:
`Patriots Will Rally Behind
Rangel and Waters!'

Aug. 2 (EIRNS)—The following statement was issued today by the Lyndon LaRouche Political Action Committee.

In the wake of Nancy Pelosi's so-called Office of Congressional Ethics' action against senior African-American Congresswoman Maxine Waters today, Democratic Party leader and spokesman Lyndon LaRouche issued the following statement:

"All patriots who remember the cause of civil rights, will rally behind Congressman Charles Rangel and Congresswoman Maxine Waters. The actions against them, in large part instigated by the unconstitutional "independent panel" called the OCE, are an insult to all who fought the civil rights fight. The fight against this assault is the fight against the legacy of slavery."

"With this action, Nancy Pelosi has just lost her face. If she were a decent woman, she would submit her resignation now."
