Can Tom Delay's resignation bring about a revolution?

Back in elementary school history we all were taught that we should have some say in the government that levies taxes upon us. Come on, you all no the battle cry, "No taxation without representation!" So what are the good citizens of Tom Delay's district to do if/when he resigns prior to the election? Do they continue to toe the line and pay their "tea taxes"? No way! Real patriots, defenders of the democratic ideal and Texans will refuse this ill treatment. But short of coup d'état what recourse do they have?

I suggest they pay a pro-rated version of their federal income taxes. They will still have a senator so I guess paying at a 50% rate during the congressional vacancy is reasonable and just.

Tom, if you're not gone yet, get to stepping because your absence is going to pay for a lot of shiny new plasma screen TVs next year.
