Boxer makes personal plea to Filner
San Diego Union Tribune ^ | August 9, 2013 | Mark Walker

Posted on 08/09/2013 12:40:02 PM PDT by BAW

Here is Boxer's letter:

Dear Bob,

We’ve known each other for a long time, and have worked together on many issues that are important to the people of San Diego – from creating jobs to protecting the environment to helping our veterans.

So I am speaking to you now on a personal and professional level, and asking you to step down as mayor and get the help you need as a private citizen.

I have already said publicly that you should resign your office as mayor because of the shocking revelations by many women about your behavior toward them.

But now I must say this directly to you: Bob, you must resign because you have betrayed the trust of the women you have victimized, the San Diegans you represent and the people you have worked with throughout your decades in public life.

I have worked for so many years to prevent and punish sexual violence and sexual harassment, wherever they occur. As we fight in the Senate to stand up for the men and women in our military who are survivors of sexual assault, I have heard their stories, seen the anguish in their faces, listened to them talk about the pain that will always be with them. Let me be clear: The latest revelations regarding your behavior toward women recovering from sexual assault – women who desperately need our help – have shaken me to my core.

Bob, you have already hurt so many people. To avoid hurting your victims and the people of San Diego more than you already have, you should step down immediately.

Sincerely,

Barbara

Senior Rats have got to be beyond nervous about Filner. This is Boxer's public attempt to shame him. Oh what I would give to be a wall fly in some of the closed door rat meetings now.

Interesting to watch the rare moments when the collectivists feel a brief twinge of any sense of right and wrong, and the occasions that it happens.

“I have worked for so many years to prevent and punish sexual violence and sexual harassment, wherever they occur”

Except in cases involving Bill Clinton, Muslims, etc..

If Old Bill would like to hit on a 1500 year mummy it’s not out of the realm of possibility for Old Dog to hit on Jan-the-Man.
