Gov. Eric Greitens Must Go

Missouri Governor Eric Greitens

Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens faces a felony charge of computer tampering relating to his campaign's alleged procurement of a charity’s donor list without the organization’s knowledge. In addition to that charge filed in St. Louis city, a committee formed in the Missouri House to investigate Greitens recently published a shocking report detailing allegations of physical assault, sexual assault, and intimidation connected to an extramarital affair. The committee found Greitens’ accuser to be a credible witness.

The allegations of sexual assault and felony charge of computer tampering are horrifying, but Eric Greitens has been an unethical disgrace from day one. While Greitens traveled to Washington, D.C., to hang out with Mike Pence and Donald Trump, neighborhoods in Missouri struggled with infant mortality rates worse than some developing countries, including Uzbekistan and Vietnam. While Eric Greitens pandered to the anti-abortion movement by burning through thousands of tax dollars for a special legislative session he called to ‘protect’ anti-abortion fake clinics from being held accountable to the people, Black women faced the reality that our maternal mortality rate makes us four times more likely than white women to die from pregnancy-related issues.

Now, after over a year of failed leadership, Eric Greitens thinks he’s going to drag the Show Me state through at least one criminal trial and a possible impeachment trial.

Eric Greitens is a disgrace, and his continued presence in office is a cruel insult to all Missourians, particularly survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. Sign our petition to demand Eric Greitens resign immediately.

I am writing to demand your immediate resignation.

I am shocked that you did not resign after being indicted on felony charges. Those allegations are horrifying, but you have been an unethical disgrace from day one. While you traveled to Washington, D.C., to hang out with Mike Pence and Donald Trump, neighborhoods in Missouri struggled with infant mortality rates worse than some developing countries, including Uzbekistan and Vietnam. While you pandered to the anti-abortion movement by burning through thousands of tax dollars for a special legislative session you called to ‘protect’ anti-abortion fake clinics from being held accountable to the people, Black women faced the reality that their maternal mortality rate makes them four times more likely than white women to die from pregnancy-related issues.

You are not going to drag Missouri through multiple trials after over a year of failed leadership.

Gov. Greitens, you are a disgrace. Your continued presence in office is a cruel insult to all Missourians, particularly survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. I demand your immediate resignation.
