I am tiring quickly of people saying that the Paula Jones case is nothing
but some "right wing plot" - that's like saying the Anita Hill case was a
left-wing plot! If women truly want sexual harassment stopped, then we
must ban together despite our political differences on other issues.
Unfortunately, groups such as NOW (National Organization for Women) seem
to be more interested in their own political agenda than with womens'
rights, as was proven by their April 22
announcement, stating that they were not supporting Paula Jones'
appeal because the "right-wing" supports Paula Jones. Gosh - I didn't
realize that NOW only gave support to people based on who else supports
them!
I have received messages from women who are not "right-wing" who
support Paula Jones, and I have included some of them here, with their
permission.
I suggest to those who say that this is something contrived by the
"right-wing" to read the following comments from those who are certainly
not "right-wing"! NOW may not support Paula Jones' appeal, but NOW does
not speak for all women, and certainly not for the liberal and
conservative women I have spoken to!

Once again, shame on NOW! The truth is,
they never did represent ordinary women in this country, but this was a
chance to prove themselves. In fact, they did just that, proved once
and for all, that they are and always have been, an elitist organization
that mainstream women could not identify with. What a shame, because it
was such a noble and necessary cause I have written to NOW, and as I told
you before, responded to their [the reigning feminists] appearance on Meet
The Press.

I am neither Gen-X [age 56], nor a Republican. In fact, I have been a
liberal from way back and certainly a feminist, though not a radical one.
In any case, I voted for Bill Clinton twice and like his political agenda.
I say this so that you and your collegues will know that this is not a
political issue for me.
I am stunned by the April 1 ruling and came on here tonight looking for a
website to show support for Mrs. Jones. I never saw your site before, but
applaud you for your stand. I won't make a speech [Well, just a short
one!]
because I agree with your analysis of the case as stated in your website.
Bottom line: If this is not sexual harassment, then what is??
The honorable judge's opinion, notwithstanding, he was her ultimate boss,
she
was on the job, the act was waaay over the top for sexual overtures on the
job, and how could she not suffer because of it? The judge's statements
about
happening only once, and what a "reasonable person could endure" are
ridiculous. A jury should decide this. She was denied due process. I am
outraged for her and all women - for we have all "suffered" a severe set
back
at the hands of a female friend of Bill Clinton's.
I was willing to leave this to the judicial system, but now we must all
take a stand. We, [I did, anyway, you might have been in high school ;-) ]
stood with Anita Hill, why not Paula Jones? By the way, I sent just that
message to Anita Hill in response to the Meet the Press appearance. The feminists
have been dismal in their response to all of these cases. Because of "larger
issues?" What is larger than supporting all women in this struggle? And
don't even talk to me about Gloria Steinem!!
Keep up the fight. More should join you now. Back the APPEAL.

As a registered Democrat who is not a right-winger, I do support Paula
Jones. I
am upset how the Democrat attackers (i.e., Carville, etc.)
have trashed Paula
and now distant the Feminist groups have been. There is much
more support for
Paula than the so-called Pols indicate!

How sick this country and the women in it have become. First, I am
ashamed that the women put Slick Willie in office. And shame on the
men for letting them. Now, he will keep on and on and on
disrespecting women and poor Paula hasn't a chance. Where is the
moral fiber that we built this country on? We kick a gal out of the
Air Force, let the pilots run "amuck" in hotels and talk about
punishment; but let the army guy go free and, we let the commander-
in-chief do as he pleases , and, of course, he and his wife love to
spend the taxpayers' money and live in power; so they stick together
and stay slimy. I cannot hardly think about him without getting
nauseated, and cannot watch him on T.V. Is money and success in this
country so important to everyone, without considering the ultimate
end? The anti-christ would have a "field day" with our present
morality and priorities. I am sorry Paula Jones, that you can't even
get your day in court. Just remember that "vengence is mine sayeth
the Lord". Stay strong and remember he'll get his one day. Good
luck! (p.s. I'll never believe that Vince Foster took his own life; and,
I also believed Anita Hill.)
