Petition for Treason Charges against Republicans online

[SuperDemocrat]

I notice that none of the liberals wanna address the FACTS of what is treason, you all made a claim now explain it. I provided the definition of what treason is now provide us with how a letter from some Senators to a foreign Government is treason.

I hate to play Devils advocate but it is the government that has a right to negotiate with other governments. The congress has a right to act since it is a part of the government

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

My God.. they're losing it... this is gonna be awesome.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

Ahh the page has turned now you lefties will respond with out addressing the actual conditions that nake something treason and I will of course quote my post on the new page, or did I kill this thread with facts?

 

[hadit]

Treason? Never get that far. Remember the "Dear Commandante" letter Congress sent Ortega when they were trying to undercut Reagan's foreign policy? Nothing happened to them.

Is there a petition to remove Obama for treason? Where do I sign..........

There are times when the word “treason” is thrown around lightly. This is not one of those times. And while it may meet the legal definition of ‘sedition’ more than ‘treason,’ Republicans have consistently been trying to usurp President Obama’s authority by derailing negotiations with Iran. Though their invitation to Netanyahu doesn’t equate to treason, their directly contacting Iran’s leaders to stop the peace process violates federal law. And Americans aren’t taking it any longer.

REPUBLICANS THREATEN IRAN
When Republicans invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak to Congress, without even consulting the White House, it became obvious that they were trying to override the President’s authority. Netanyahu and the Republicans’ main goal in doing this was to hinder the negotiations process with Iran, which could prevent an all out war that would engulf the entirety of the Middle East.

The move was undoubtedly shady, but it wasn’t all that surprising. The real kicker happened when, as we reported, 47 Republicans in the Senate wrote a threatening letter to the leaders of Iran informing them that any deal reached with the President would be null and void if a Republican were ever to enter the White House. Also very disturbing is the fact that Tom Cotton, the freshman Republican senator from Arkansas who organized the letter announced he will be attending a major gathering of lobbyists for weapons contractors on Tuesday, where he will speak off the record. Pissed off yet? You and millions of others.

VIOLATION OF THE LOGAN ACT
Even the most staunch Republican cannot deny that directly contacting Iran, in an effort to derail the President’s authority, is downright shady and unethical. Unfortunately for those 47 Republicans in Congress, it’s also treasonous.

As it turns out, The Logan Act is a federal law, signed in 1799 and last amended in 1994, which prevents unauthorized citizens from communicating with foreign governments for a variety of reasons. The text of the law is as follows:

Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply himself, or his agent, to any foreign government, or the agents thereof, for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects.”

This means that Republicans outright violated federal law in an effort to usurp President Obama’s authority. They were in no way authorized to communicate with the leaders of Iran. Punishment under this law is a maximum of three years in prison.

Americans recognize this, and so a petition was created on the White House website to file charges against the 47 Senators who violated the law. As of this writing, hundreds of signatures were being added every few minutes.

The White House petition website works in a way that, when a petition reaches 100,000 signatures, the White House has to issue a response. The Republicans have undoubtedly overstepped their authority and engaged in undeniable treason, and it’s time that they were held accountable. Note: There appears to be a glitch on the White House petition page which has frozen the number of signatures. Rest assured that the tally is much higher than it is showing.

As your side so often points out, congresscritters get all sorts of immunities, and thus are not treated just as "citizens"

That being said, why not go after Hanoi Jane over this?

Hanoi Jane? IDK...Why do you want to go after her and not others?

Because she is an unapologetic muddled headed twat.

 

[PratchettFan]

The purpose is to draw attention to the treasonous actions that most Republicans supported. That is, until they saw how badly it backfired on them.

At least the Republicans here are starting to display some shame over how they acted. That gives hope that they're not totally irredeemable. Perhaps, with some moral guidance, they can be reformed, and become good Americans again.

There have been no treasonous actions.

[PratchettFan]

You can get 500,000, it won't go anywhere. LOL This is a hoot

At 100K they have to respond, which is the point.

The point is they say they got it?

Yep, but when the heat is on your enemy, turn it up.

They are United States Senators and Representatives legally voted into office by United States citizens. They are not your enemy.

The hell they aren't. They stand against Liberalism, the founding philosophy of this nation. Fuck 'em and get 'em on a boat to Jesusland, they don't deserve ti be here or even be called Americans.

Rubbish. And childish rubbish at that.

Not at all. The Founding Fathers would have had nothing to do with these Tory bastards.

POTUS was legally elected into Office by my fellow Americans and I ...he is not your enemy ding bat he is your POTUS

I never said he was my enemy. He is my president. Whether I voted for him or not, once elected he is every Americans president. None of them are our enemies.

 

[PaintMyHouse]

Just topped 50K.

 

[Katzndogz]

It's about time democrats got off their asses and declared that a state of war exists with republicans. They have an alliance with Iran. The timing couldn't be better.

 

[PratchettFan]

I don't know about treason, but they are seriously fucked in the head. They've just told the world that an American president has no power from this day forth. What is wrong with these assholes?

They are politicians playing to their constituents. But they really have not told the world this. The people we negotiate with in the world are not simpletons. They understand this was a publicity stunt and will give it the concern it is worth. They may use it for their own press releases, but ultimately it will have no impact at the table.
