HD Action: Franken Must Resign Now (Petition)

Arthur,
Breaking just this morning, a woman has accused Democratic Senator Al Franken of sexual assault. While on a USO Tour to entertain our troops, Senator Franken allegedly groped the woman while she was sleeping (there's a picture) and kissing her without consent.

We are outraged, Arthur. A U.S. Senator is not exempt from acting with common decency and respect. 


This is unacceptable. We are demanding Senator Al Franken step down immediately. Will you join us?
He has released a statement that it was "intended to be funny", but nothing about sexual misconduct is funny, Senator. This type of behavior is disgusting and unacceptable from a United States Senator.

We are demanding Al Franken resign -- IMMEDIATELY. Add your name if you agree. 
Thank you for taking a stand with us, 

Ian Hines

RIGOP Exposes Corruption and Sexual Perversion of Democratic Party


For Immediate Release
IT’S MORE THAN HARASSMENT, IT’S CORRUPTION 
Warwick, RI -Today we learned from State Representative Edith Ajello that legislators and lobbyists have been asked for sexual favors in exchange for help moving their legislation. This revelation comes after State Representative Teresa Tanzi’s statement that she was harassed by a high ranking State House official and was told that sexual favors would help her bills go further. In response, House Speaker Nicholas Mattiello has created a study commission.

Rhode Island Republican Party Chairman Brandon S. Bell commented: “This has gone beyond being an issue of workplace harassment. This is now an issue of corruption at the State House. There is no difference between a legislator asking for sex to support a bill than a legislator asking for a bag of cash to vote for a bill. The Rhode Island State House sounds like the center of a sex trade racket.” 

Bell concluded: “Speaker Mattiello has not denied that this sort of behavior is going on at the State House, but he has not taken any steps to expose and remove from power the perpetrators of this corrupt sex-for-legislation racket. Instead he wants a study commission on harassment. We don’t need a study commission to stop corruption. We need state and federal law enforcement to investigate, and bring these politicians to justice.”
