Lieu Still Silent on Roderick Wright

Today (February 10, 2014), State Senator Ted Lieu (D-Torrance) was racking up all the endorsements which he has received from California Democratic Party officials.


"I'm sorry. . .are you waiting for me to say something?"

He also has said nothing -- not one thing -- about the current status of convicted felon state senate colleague Roderick Wright (D-Inglewood) who is still "serving" in Sacramento, even though prior examples of convicted felon legislators resigned their seats, or at least a committee moved to expel the member from the chamber.

At this point, other candidates for the 33rd Congressional District should also consider demanding that Lieu show some independence and leadership, and demand that he move for the expulsion of Roderick Wright from the state senate.

Lieu's silence on this issue is deafening, demeaning, and demoralizing to say the least.

His Sacramento office released the information earlier today that  Lieu has issued no press release on this matter. There is no excuse. Three Republican state senators, the independent candidate running for California Secretary of State, and

For a legislator who cared about abandoned ships, domestic pets, the welfare of bears and adolescents in tanning salons, who wanted to end the cruel practical joke of
swatting, one wonders why he would to also move to maintain the integrity of California's state senate?

Lieu wants to represent the Santa Monica Bay in Congress. Why should voters trust him with higher office when he refuses to maintain the integrity of his office or the chamber in which he currently serves?

Contact State Senator Ted Lieu, and tell him to join the chorus of legislators, newspapers, and voters in his district to demand the resignation or expulsion of convicted felon Roderick Wright.

"Please, Ted, don't say anything!"
