He needs to resign.
Resolve to call your Congressperson on Monday morning. Weiner goes by the end of the day.
Resolve to also call Boehner, Cantor, Murphy and Hensarling as well as Pelosi, and Hoyer. Same message.
Talking point?
It is NOT up to the voters of his district. The Constitution says each House is the judge of its own members, and on a 2/3rds vote, a member may be expelled.
Weiner’s actions offend you and show he does not deserve the public’s trust.Either he resigns or faces an expulsion vote. Which will it be?
Democrat or Republican, this level of behavior is not going to be tolerated.
Now, don’t be sitting around watching a car wreck. It’s up to you to make these Reps represent you. They figure as long as they make the right noises(Rehab, second chance, it’s between him and his wife—blah,blah,bah)you’ll be mollified.
A lot of GOP members have been excoriated and forced to resign over a lot less. Time we do the same to the Dims, and with more rewasons than they ever had.
Wrong. We need him to stay till next November.
I’m with you. Although politically it would be advantageous to the GOP to keep Weiner around, it’s not leadership. It brings dishonor to the entire House. There are House rules to follow when a member dishonors the House and the GOP needs to follow them with whatever due process is necessary.
Weiner should be expelled if he won’t go willingly.
Now that Pelosi, W-Schultz and Israel are on record as calling for Weiner to resign, there should be a near unanimous vote to expel him. Rangel may be the lone holdout.
So we should call our representatives Boxer, Boehner, Pelosi, Kerry, and Frank to complain about Weiner. Just saying.
