We have a process for investigating congressmen. Let that process work. Let the women who have accused Franken to come forward and present their argument with whatever corroborating evidence they have. Let the committee make its decision and let the voters of MN decide his fate.
Demanding that Franken resign puts every progressive Democrat in peril. All that it would take to get one to resign would be an anonymous charge that was bought and paid for by the Koch-Mercer-Murdoch-Fox News-Breitbart right wing industrial complex.
Also, the voters elected Franken to fight for them and their needs, something that he has done brilliantly. Calling for his resignation is a slap in the face to those voters.
