Mr. Webb,
As you well know, the American people want to protect our children against child predators. Recently, Congressman Mark Foley resigned from Congress on September 29, 2006 as allegations surfaced that he had sent sexually explicit instant messages to male former Congressional pages, through AOL Instant Messenger. As a result of the disclosures, the FBI and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement opened investigations of the messages to find possible criminal charges. Mark Foley did the right thing and resigned. In February, DOJ launched Project Safe Childhood, an initiative to “combat the proliferation of technology-facilitated sexual exploitation crimes against children.” Some of your writings are very disturbing for a candidate hoping to represent the families of Virginians in the U.S. Senate and do not help the cause of combating the sexual exploitation crimes against children. Most Virginians and Americans would find passages such as those below shocking, especially coming from the pen of someone who seeks the privilege of serving in the United States Senate, one of the highest offices in the land:
– Lost Soldiers: “A shirtless man walked toward them along a mud pathway. His muscles were young and hard, but his face was devastated with wrinkles. His eyes were so red that they appeared to be burned by fire. A naked boy ran happily toward him from a little plot of dirt. The man grabbed his young son in his arms, turned him upside down, and put the boy’s penis in his mouth.”
Bantam Books, NY, 1st Edition, 2001, (hard cover), page 333. Quote is from para. 10,.Chap. 34.
We therefore call on you to immediately withdraw your candidacy from this race. We the undersigned ask that you put your personal ambitions aside, think of the greater good of the people of the United States and do the right thing — drop out of the U.S. Senate Race rather than persevering in one of self-interest that only serves to hurt the cause of combating the proliferation of sexual exploitation crimes against children.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned

With only 12 days left till the election .. wouldn't it be easier to vote against him?
Please let us know when you sign the petition. Having children, I am sickened by this!
We could but if Democrats don't demand him to resign then the American people will know what kind of Party they truly are.
Of course! But this allows for people outside Virginia to sign it, and gives more bad publicity to Webb. Well worth the small effort.
I don't think he should have to resign over this. He was just writing what he observed in some backwards cultures.
Webb appears to be a victim of influence by backwards cultures where women are sex objects and slaves, which explains his attitude toward women in the military and why he thought it was OK to chase after a woman half his age while married.
nah! keep talking it up, use the word 'pervert', keep reading the passages and KEEP HIM ON THE BALLOT!
watch the voters shoot him down for ya.
We all know the Dems won't ask him to resign
We already had a president from a backward culture 7 years ago. Don't need any more backward culture people.
Exactly. We need to continue to keep on the offensive. There is too much at stake in this election.
Well, that too.
But we're in mud-tossing season, and it looks like a blizzard's moving in.
Which is fine by me. I like mud.
Rush just indicated that DU is having a major meltdown that their party didn't know about this and let this thing get this far. What did Nancy Pelosi know and who else knew about it? According to the Dims own rationale of the Foley incident especially their take on Hastert, Pelosi and her cohorts must resign now.
I am also a writer. I write about rape, murder, and depravity. I also write about God, how much I love my wife, and the interactions of Jesus in my personal spirituality. I do not deserve to be judged, and neither does Webb. THIS IS WRONG.
Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid MUST resign. They should have known about this!!
Webb replies:"..but..but.. Allen's a Jew!"
The passage quoted from the book does not describe incest or perversion. It describes a custom that, as repugnant as it seems to us, is normal and customary in that part of the world. Webb was reporting what he had seen with his own eyes while in Bangkok. He shouldn't be condemned for describing a custom that is normal in that part of the world.
If an author witnesses and describes violence, does that mean they endorse violence? No. If an author describes a crime does that mean they endorse crime? No.
I know little about Webb or his platform, but I hate to see people like you manipulated and fooled by deceitful "activists" who want Webb defeated and will stoop to using slimy methods to accomplish that.
