[still_one]

4. No problem

[flamingdem]

Ty for posting it

[diva77]

5. done -- so sorry 'bout that!

[diva77]

6. Please keep this post kicked if possible!!!

[RandomAccess]

7. WAIT -- WHY DNC? What have they said?

It was a bunch of SENATORS this morning -- how is that the DNC? They don't take orders from the DNC.

What am I missing?

[OliverQ]

8. Tom Perez called for Franken to resign.

[RandomAccess]

21. Ugh. Thanks.

I think it's called poltical expediency -- or what he assumes is political expediency. My guess is he has badly miscalculated.

9. DNC Chair Tom Perez joins Democratic senators call for Franken to resign

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/dnc-chair-tom-perez-joins-democratic-senators-call-for-franken-to-resign/article/2642714

Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez joined a flood of Democratic senators on Wednesday calling for Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., to resign amid multiple sexual misconduct allegations.

"Sen. Al Franken should step down," Perez tweeted. "Everyone must share the responsibility of building a culture of trust and respect for women in every industry and workplace, and that includes our party."

[flamingdem]

10. Shame on him

Let the Ethics committee do it's work.

This is NOT improving my opinion on Perez one iota

[Kimchijeon]

14. Yeah I agree with ya about Perez

Gee, ya think Ellison would have helped to railroad Al outta office??

Yeah, that's what I thought... absolutely disgusting what is happening right now. Sigh.

[RandomAccess]

19. I just called and said

I was furious with Perez and furious with the Dem Senators -- yadayada -- and Tom Perez needs to stand up to the Republicans instead of attacking our Dems, dammit.

[Drahthaardogs]

37. Told them if they do this, they won't lose my vote

But they will lose my money

[RandomAccess]

23. Thanks

What a farkin' nightmare. Here we are trying to fight the daily outrageous from Trump that are literally destroying our country and our government and now we have to fight our own political party too?

[brooklynite]

11. How about: "I don't give you any money and you should do what I tell you"?

FWIW, there's nothing DNC can do with your opinion. You could provide it to DSCC, but Franken isn't up for election next year.

[diva77]

12. It's not just about Franken, IMHO -- it's about assuming one is guilty before being proven innocent

What measures were taken to ensure fairness of treatment before he was asked to resign? Seems to me if the head of the DNC is asking for a democratic senator to step down, that is a very powerful statement and the DNC should know what the voters think about it.

So you think contacting the DSCC would be more effective? Has the head of the DSCC made a statement?

Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. Phone [phone]. Fax [phone]

[Kimchijeon]

13. I called, emailed 'em

But I think calling the DNC is great. I did leave them a nice polite message and sent them an email.

Told 'em no more $$$ from us if they continue, not like they care about my little peanuts. Maybe if I were a big 'ole corporation I'd have more luck making them give a shit, huh???

We do need to show Al our support, this is beyond stupid.

[flamingdem]

15. called 3x

[diva77]

17. To TeamPooka - Has the Ethics Committee completed it's investigation of this matter?

If not, should we assume he is guilty until proven innocent?

Somehow, the accusations against him do not seem to be in the same class as those against Dump or Moore. And, there seems to be evidence of swiftboating going on in this case.

That's what I think, fwiw...

[Blue_true]

22. Franken should resign. Period. nt

[July]

36. Bull. Nt

[TuxedoKat]

25. Just called both

Plus Sen. Gillibrand. Call the DSCC, I got right through.

[orleans]

26. i am furious about this!

http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/363558-dnc-chair-al-franken-should-resign-from-the-senate

to clarify:
i do not want him to resign due to bandwagon calls for his resignation based on a fucking unnamed source that said he tried to kiss her after his radio show in 2006

omg!!!

[Amaryllis]

27. Great idea. Also call your Dem senators. I just did:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029935709
Just called Wyden & Merkley's office; asked them to push for Franken investigation, not resignation

Let's rec each other's threads!

[softfls]

28. Called

Got a recording. Left my 2 cents.

[diva77]

29. thank you & welcome to DU

[renate]

35. thank you, and welcome!

[Duppers]

31. Called DNC, left message.

Called DSCC but there was no answer this evening after 8 rings.

Thx for posting this!

Al must stay!!

[diva77]

32. Thank you!

[flamingdem]

33. We need to deluge them

and I bet they don't want to know how we feel but they record the numbers

[diva77]

34. good point

What I don't get...is that the punishment doesn't fit the crime. If the accusations against Franken are true, he could have been sent to a "sensitivity rehab" retreat or something and stayed in office. It's all so severe -- like the 3-strikes laws in CA.

[flamingdem]

38. Yes, you're right, it could have been handled many ways

We don't need to "set an example" for the GOP - as if they care!
