FReep this PETITION TO CUT OFF CARTER CENTER FUNDING (American Center for Law and Justice - ACLJ)
American Center for Law and Justice ^ | April 25, 2008 | ACLJ

Posted on 04/25/2008 9:58:33 AM PDT by Albion Wilde

Here is what the ACLJ (American Center for Law and Justice) web site says:

Citizen Outrage: Strip Federal Funding from Carter Center!

Former President Jimmy Carter has gone too far. His recent meeting with the anti-Israel, pro-terrorist group Hamas is an abuse of power and misuse of American citizens' hard-earned tax dollars. We will not allow for our federal dollars to support terrorist negotiations! Stand with Members of Congress and the ACLJ in calling for an immediate halt of federal funding to the Carter Center. Please read the form below carefully and declare your membership with the ACLJ by adding your name to our Petition to Cut Off Carter Center Funding.

Petition to Cut Off Carter Center Funding

To All Members of the United States Senate
To All Members of the United States House of Representatives

As a concerned member of the American Center for Law and Justice and a tax-paying citizen, I stand with Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow in calling for an immediate halt of federal funding to former President Jimmy Carter's Carter Center. I am outraged by his recent meeting with the terrorist group Hamas and condemn any federal support of Carter's organization as a result of this misuse of power. America and her citizens do not negotiate with terrorists. We firmly support this longstanding doctrine and respectfully ask you to do the same. Please immediately pull the plug on federal funding of the Carter Center.

This is probably the tip of the iceberg in regard to Federal funding these types of organizations. Just disgracefull.

Is there a petition as to whether or not we should stone Carter on the steps of the capital?

You mean, like the ACLU and Planned Parenthood? My question is, why is this petition not also directed to the State Department and the Attorney General's office? This man's passport should be confiscated pending an investigation. And his wife's.

I would like to sign this petition but I do not want to give all of my information. All petitions want the same info. Can’t do.

The ACLJ is a reputable organization; also they have a check box so you can uncheck yourself from receiving any future mailings as a result of signing. Otherwise, all petitions need your name, address and phone number so your name can be verified.

I agree it seems like common sense; but if CodePink can send $600K to our enemies and Cindy Sheehan can sashay to Cuba against State Department advice and communists can spray paint the Capitol building unmolested by the authorities, it seems that normal citizens have to make their commonsense ideas known to our Congress. They don't seem to be making many commonsense decisions on their own; and the AG under Bush is a joke when it comes to treason and sedition.

Done. Fortunately, I read downthread and saw Digger express my own reservations and your helpful reply. You do good work, ALbion Wilde!

The problem with the concept of "common sense" is that it really isn't all that common.

SoldierDad, what is your opinion of why we shouldn't need a petition in this situation?

Not real familiar with it, but can’t the Logan Act be used here?

It is interesting to find out that the Carter Center is engaging in a partnership with the George Soros’ organization, the Open Society Institute.

My comment about needed a petition was referring to this comment.
