Hi there,

I believe that people who are concerned about war and peace, democracy, the climate catastrophe, and economic and racial justice, are not a fringe minority, not even a silent majority, but the silenced majority—silenced by the corporate media. But we can't do it without your support. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

LA Times: Six Women Describe Mistreatment by Schwarzenegger

HeadlineOct 02, 2003

The Los Angles Times today published a nearly 4,000 word expose highlighting the stories of six women who say there were sexually harassed by gubernatorial candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger. Three women said Schwarzenegger publicly grabbed their breasts. A fourth woman said he reached under her skirt to grip her buttocks. Another woman said the actor groped her in an elevator and attempted to remove her bathing suit. And a sixth woman said she was grabbed and forced to sit on his lap while he suggested performing a sexual act with her. The incidents occurred between the 1970s and 2000. Schwarzenegger refused to be interviewed for the article but his campaign spokesperson said the candidate had never engaged in improper conduct toward women.

One woman interviewed noted how Schwarzenegger’s behavior changed when he was around wife Maria Shriver. She said, “When Maria was around, he was a gentleman. When she wasn’t around, he was the opposite.”
