Keep your stupid letter to yourself.
Have you considered the possibility that he is hesitant to defend himself because:
- it may be perceived as an attack on a poor unemployed single mother?
- and as such, is a set-up?
- or he is weighing the need to take this lying woman to court, and thus destroy the life of a (former) friend)?
- he is allowing other to find evidence against her ridiculous claims, thus keeping his hands clean?
Why is it stupid? I’m not asking him to defend himself unless it’s a total lie, in which case everyone is legally able to defend himself. It’s hard for Mr. Cain to know what his supporters feel they need right now. Add to the letter and let him know what you need him to do or say.
