Baton Rouge paper printed my letter today....re Vitter

[AnnInLa]

Editor called yesterday to ask if they could edit the letter just a bit....looks like they took out the most forceful paragraph....afraid of the Vitter machine? And, I had about 3 more "He lied to me," which they took out. Oh well.

God, Clinton and Vitter: In reading, watching and listening today, I was struck by how many “pundit” types tried to excuse Mr. Vitter’s actions by referring to Mr. Clinton’s actions ... “Clinton did it too, woo hoo!” God will not judge Mr. Vitter by Mr. Clinton’s actions. Mr. Vitter will be judged on his own, will stand alone.

I will not judge the actions of either, as that is best left to God, but I will condemn Mr. Vitter for lying to me, a citizen of the state of Louisiana. In years past, in public, Mr. Vitter hotly denied his sex-capades, blaming the reporting of political opponents. He said publicly that families are the most important thing in the world to him. He lied. Political power was more important.

He said publicly that Mr. Clinton’s moral depravity was an impeachable offense and that such a depraved individual should resign. Was he lying about that as well? Mr. Vitter, please resign as a show of respect to the party, to the state and to me and all other citizens of Louisiana.

2. Send it to him.

Ann,

Great job getting them to print it. I sent a similar letter to Mr Vitter himself.
I haven't heard anything back but that's not surprising.

At least there's two of us in Abbeville (three of us including my wife) who think he should resign.
Everyone who wanted President Clinton impeached should email or write Mr Vitter to let him know how much of a hypocrite he is.

Btw, it's nice knowing my daughter may get taught by smart teachers like yourself.

3. Welcome to DU!

Glad to meet someone else from Abbeville here on DU. I retired from teaching last year after 25 years....kinda an early retirement, but I needed to get out.

I have sent Vitter several emails, but no snail mail yet. If he dares to have more town-hall meetings, I wish we could get up a group to picket with pictures of Huggies and Pampers, saying, "Resign now!"

Again, Welcome, and I hope you enjoy it here on DU.

4. Great letter Ann even if your strongest paragraph was removed.

You don't here the crowing about the "great Sen. Vitter" anymore, just the excuses.
BTW, I started LSU with fellow from Abbeville and we were good friends for a long time but fell out of touch, Dr. Brian Amy. I met his brother at the Dem. Convention in Atlanta in 1988, I heard he's a Judge somewhere in South Louisiana.
Do you know of Brian, and if so , how is he and his family doing?
Thank you for your kindness.:)
