He was arraigned on 6 counts of felony assault last week, and today The Daily Beast published a piece from Amy about him: Did this senator beat up his girlfriend?

The New Agenda has been working to get this story more exposure since my first piece here, on Jan. 9/09: Where's the line between political expediency and evil?

Synopsis of the story here, with all our links: The facts on Monserrate.

Monserrate's PR firm has been trying to intimidate everyone who speaks up into dropping the story, so it feels good to see this get some traction in the national press, finally.

I can't believe the NY Democrats aren't asking him to step down, but they're certainly going to hear about it from us.

Monserrate's PR firm is all over this. They've had DB pull the story and change it twice over some fairly specious distinctions. The upshot is that now the URL is different, so the one our PR person sent out to all the NY media yesterday doesn't work.

Here's the new one: http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2009-04-06/did-this-senator-beat-up-his-girlfriend/
