Clinton's Character Will Count in November

By Scott Lauf

September 3, 1998

The GOP’s prospects for a veto-proof majority in Congress do not bode well for the Clinton ‘legacy’ nor the Democratic party. Today’s Washington Post story [“Republicans Now Looking for Major Gains in the Fall,” September 3, 1998] illustrates that the issue of character does matter, and it may effect the outcome of the November elections. Post columnist Ceci Connolly writes: “Republicans have begun testing the waters with anti-Clinton messages in a handful of races, changing a year-long presumption that the brewing scandal was not a winning issue.”

President Clinton’s reprehensible behavior and total lack of honesty have always been widely known, but few candidates have effectively made them genuine campaign “wedge issues.” Nonetheless, since 1992 grass-roots organizations such as the Clinton Investigative Commission project (CIC), sponsored by the Council of Volunteer Americans, have always been in the forefront reminding the American people and Congress about President Clinton’s official misconduct and abuse of power. Today, as the rule of law finally begins to clamp down on the White House, we “Clinton-haters” are now being vindicated.

If the Democrats were wise, they would abandon their silence and follow the lead of their colleague Rep. Paul McHale (D-PA), who has called for Clinton’s resignation. The American people do not care about where the candidates stand on social security, taxes, education or foreign trade. The only issue is Bill Clinton, and voters will be casting a verdict on whether or not their members of Congress are part of the Clinton problem, or a solution.

CIC salutes Rep. McHale as well as Bob Barr (R-GA), who introduced last year H.Res.304 calling for an impeachment inquiry of President Clinton. Both McHale and Barr have been vilified by White House private investigators. CIC is asking its members and supporters to telephone the offices of Reps. McHale and Barr and give them support and encouragement for impeachment. The Capitol switchboard can be reached toll free at 800-361-5222.
