..................................................................47 TRAITORS




.............................................



...does anyone know the penalty for TREASON in America?

...........................................



The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 30 January 1799, currently codified at 18 U.S.C. § 953) is a United States federal law that forbids unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments. It was passed in 1799 and last amended in 1994. Violation of the Logan Act is a felony, punishable under federal law with imprisonment of up to three years.

The Act was intended to prohibit unauthorized United States citizens from interfering in relations between the United States and foreign governments.

Does anyone know the definition of hubris?

Yes, that too.

But first let's get them for TREASON and SABOTAGE.


Thank you for your support.

From all that I can see, these people are elected representatives of the US people and therefore are authorized to engage in such activities. If they are not, it is up to you to show that they are not authorized, prove it.

GREAT point.


I believe the mechanisms are already underway now to see if these traitors can be prosecuted.


THANK YOU for your support.

I think you mean "alleged traitors" as their guilt has not been established, only claimed by you.

Actually there is apetition that over 200,000 concerned Americans have signed in the past few hours DEMANDING that these 47 TRAITORS be prosecuted to THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW.




Also, death by hanging is also being talked about by some political commentators against these 47 individuals.



As an American, I take these actions by these 47 alleged traitors against my government to be quite serious...



I think the time has come to have other politicians verbally seperate themselves from the alleged 47 TRAITORS.



THANK YOU for your interest in this thread. This is exactly what needs to be done right now - TALK about this outrage!

Given the current state of Muslim religious politics and where it may go with respect to the Shia I think Iran would be insane to not obtain a nuclear capability.

.



i believe negotiation and communication along with inspections - would help to keep peace in the world.


I understand the philosophy that, To live in peace prepare for war.


The growing SCREAMS of TREASON are happening in my country now because our President, the honorable Barack Obama, is in the middle of possibly establishing deeper communications and negotiations with Iran.

"The growing SCREAMS of TREASON are happening in my country now because our President, the honorable Barack Obama, is in the middle of possibly establishing deeper communications and negotiations with Iran."

From my perspective: the only folks yelling about treason are partisans who favor the President and his politics. That is: there's no real legal (constitutional) foundation for claiming treason.

Also: you see the President as 'honorable' while I see him as 'incompetent'; you believe his negotiations with Iran are meant to foster peaceful relations while I see such negotiations as mere capitulation to an enemy who -- at the first chance – will do as promised, that being: 'kill Israel', 'kill the West', and 'Kill America'.

I took to heart, a long time ago, the Hebrew expression 'if you know someone is coming to kill you, get up early in the morning and go kill them first'.

Pity the President would rather have them over for lunch instead.

I agree with Henry, push the damned button.

I thought America was founded on treason.

One man's treason is another's just rebellion.
