Received an e-mail today from Congresswoman Ann Kuster's (D. NH-02) staff today regarding Senator Saxby Chambliss' (R. GA) remarks about sexual assault in the military:
Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss went too far when he said that sexual assaults in the military would be hard to control, blaming hormone levels of young men from ages 17-23.
If you are as outraged as we are, please stand up and join Congresswoman Annie Kuster in her online petition demanding that Congress prove they won't make excuses and will act to protect our servicemen and women.
Add your name if you agree. Demand Congress stand up for the victims of sexual assault in the military:

Read what he said for yourself.
"The young folks that are coming into each of your services are anywhere from 17 to 22-23. Gee whiz -- the hormone level created by nature sets in place the possibility for these types of things to occur…" - Saxby Chambliss
This is just wrong. Sexual assault is a violent crime, and a Department of Defense report showed there were over 25,000 cases of military sexual assault last year alone - yet fewer than 3,200 were reported. We have to take action, not make excuses that "boys will be boys."
