Lancaster County, South Carolina

Governor Sanford,

The people of South Carolina willingly forgive transgressions.

However, forgiveness is not forgetfulness, and the people of this state have a right to expect a full-time governor who is able to carry out the duties of his office without daily distractions arising from his own misconduct.

Your continuation in office is no longer tolerable, and you should be willing to accept that the needs of the people of this state supersede any personal desire you may have to hold on to the office to which you were elected.

It would be best for all concerned if you were to resign.

However, if you choose to try to remain, the people of this State, Republicans, Democrats, and Independents, will insist that the General Assembly take the otherwise unpalatable step of drafting articles of impeachment.

Be assured, you will be impeached, and you will be convicted.

It is time for you to show that you are a man, and accept the consequences of your actions.
