Tell the Republican Party: Supporting accused sexual predators is a losing strategy
The Republican Party and Donald Trump continued to support Roy Moore even though he was accused of sexual assault by eight women.
In any other organization in America there would have been an immediate and mandatory investigation and the person investigated would be put on a temporary leave of absence.
Tell the RNC to pledge to stop funding any candidates accused of pedophilia, sexual harassment, or sexual assault unless there is an investigation which concludes innocence. Pedophilia and sexual assault are crimes and should be treated as such!

Why is this important?
At least eight women came forward saying Roy Moore sexually harassed or assaulted them--including those who were under 18 at the time--one woman who says she was 14 years old when Roy Moore took her to his house, took her clothes off, and initiated sexual conduct. At first the RNC cut ties—yet after just several days, they resumed full support including funding for his campaign. Donald Trump campaigned for him.
I'm from Minnesota originally, and as much as it broke my heart to see Senator Franken resign over allegations of inappropriate conduct, I know there should be no partisan line when it comes to holding our esteemed elected officials to a high standard.
These elected officials are accountable to us—the people!
Surely, we can all agree serious and credible allegations from victims of sexual violence should be taken into consideration before propping up people like Roy Moore as the face of the Republican party.
Tell the Republican Party to commit to stop funding accused pedophiles and sexual assaulters in the future.
