In reply to the discussion: E-mail Al Franken [View all]Behind the Aegis
(56,124 posts)65. I tried, but it wouldn't let me.
I wanted to send:
Dear Senator Franken,
I want you to do what is right for you, your family, and the people of your state, and I hope the "right thing" is for you to announce a FULL INVESTIGATION and NOT your resignation.
Sir, if these charges are true, then you must take your lumps, but, if they are not true, then what JUSTICE is served by you leaving the situation before it can be properly vetted? If these allegations are nothing more than a vendetta against you, the Democratic party, and the people of the US, then you would do your constituents and the people of the US a great DISSERVICE by prematurely resigning. It would also be a set back to the #metoo movement if lies and false allegations become mixed in with the cries of real victims.
I wish you the best and hope you do the right thing and justice prevails.
Also, as a side note, with the "titles" selection, since it is 2017 and marriage equality is the law of the land (for now), how's about "Mr. & Mr." and "Ms. & Ms." and "Mrs. & Mrs."
but the fucking system told me I had a "possible security threat" in my message:
Your submitted request contained a potential security risk.

Oh well, likely to fall on deaf ears at this point.
