public service announcement....

anybody wanting to sign the petition can read it here, and sign it at the below link:

WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:
File charges against the 47 U.S. Senators in violation of The Logan Act in attempting to undermine a nuclear agreement.
On March 9th, 2015, forty-seven United States Senators committed a treasonous offense when they decided to violate the Logan Act, a 1799 law which forbids unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments. Violation of the Logan Act is a felony, punishable under federal law with imprisonment of up to three years.

At a time when the United States government is attempting to reach a potential nuclear agreement with the Iranian government, 47 Senators saw fit to instead issue a condescending letter to the Iranian government stating that any agreement brokered by our President would not be upheld once the president leaves office.

This is a clear violation of federal law. In attempting to undermine our own nation, these 47 senators have committed treason.

    "47 trolls" I think is how one article put it.

    Treason???

    A short letter explaining Constitutional powers and term lengths is treason?

    Although if this is considered treason and their heads are put on spikes, it would be a fresh start on term limits. No one in congress could make it a full term if this sets the bar.

    I don't think it is treason, or illegal, but I do think some sort of official rebuke should be given. It was incredibly stupid, factually innacurate, condescending, and immature...and Tom Cotton is proud of it. Yikes.

    kind of like the republicans who voted to deny health care coverage to the 9/11 first responders, right?

    kinda like the 50+ attempts to take health insurance away from the now 12 million who have gotten it under the ACA, right?

    when has it become legal for a political party in one branch of the government to contact the leaders of a country that has long been considered an adversary and tell them that any deal made currently will be broken in 2016?

    does the senate make policy now?

    plus, 47 is not even a majority of the senate.

    sorry, forgot to mention that an official rebuke, at the very least, is what needs to happen.

    obama is too much a pussy to even do that to the people who are attempting to undermine his administration.

    meanwhile, mainstream media is focusing on the clinton email server. something that can actually harm a great deal of americans... :rolleyes:

    And where has tolerance gotten the democratic party? Nowhere. They need to get angry so this ridiculous thing we call a government can actually possibly get changed for the better.

    the reason obama can't last out is because he does not want to be seen as the "angry black man". it would just give the republicans more ammo to use against him.

    anybody think LBJ would have put up with this bullshit?
