Government watchdog group Common Cause has rescinded an award scheduled to be presented tonight to Arnold Schwarzenegger following an outcry over past sexual harassment allegations made against him.
The group was scheduled to honor the former California governor with the “We the People Award” for his work on gerrymandering reform at the awards dinner at LA’s Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.
In a statement, the organization said “former Governor Schwarzenegger does not want to be a distraction to the ongoing important democracy work of Common Cause,” adding he would not be attending tonight’s event and the organization would not be giving him the award.
Activists organized a MoveOn.org petition urging Common Cause to rescind the honor, describing Schwarzenegger as a “serial harasser.” The petition read in part, “By honoring Arnold Common Cause is enabling harassers and silencing victims. Common Cause should instead help shed light on the widespread problem of sexual harassment.”
In 2003, shortly before he was elected California governor, six women told the Los Angeles Times Schwarzenegger had groped and humiliated on film sets, in studio offices and elsewhere since the 1970s. Schwarzeneger denied the reports, but said he had sometimes “behaved badly” on film sets.

It would seem that she moved up the socio-economic ladder.
How far back are we going with Arnold’s accusations? When is something forgiven and forgotten? Never?
More likely he was harassed - met a guy in a hotel gym once that claimed to have worked out in same gym as Arnold and others - also claimed they needed steroids bad enough to kneel in front of homosexual “doctors’.
She climbed up on sumpin, fer sure.
