This would be fun to watch as pitchforks come out and are prominently displayed at any townhall meetings these guys may choose to have.

Petition all you like. But there is no constitutional provision for recalling senators prior to the next scheduled election.

Can’t be done.

The problem is you would have to change the Constitution to recall them.

It is TIME to Drain the Swamp! It is TIME to DownSize DC!

Not just Senators. In fact here is the list that we should start with>

“All Congressmen who voted for Cap&Trade MUST BE REMOVED. They are either Traitors or simply Too Stupid to Hold Public Office. NO EXCEPTIONS”

See Congressional Vote Score Card> http://bit.ly/8w9ckV

Highlighting in Yellow indicates targets. The number of bills that are yellow highlighted for a Congressman indicates the degree of the problem. These are clearly enemies of the Citizens.

So can we censure them, as Dodds father was? Can that force them to be taken out of their seats?

Way past time.

Why aren’t the treason laws enforced?

Why aren’t Jon Francois Carry, Bernie Sanders, Dennis Kookyspinich, and a whole lot of others in prison?

A list of this type without Graham, Snowe, and McCain is really poorly thought out.

Not Constitutional. Citizens must fire ‘em at election time.

“Is It Time to Recall Senators Who are Traitors to Our Country?”

It was time months ago to recall them. However, I’m not sure the Constitution addresses recall. Of course, not like these Senators give a crap about the Constitution anyway, but they’ll cling onto it if the shout for “recall” becomes loud (given there’s no provision for recall).

The real traitors to our country are people who wake up every day and decide how things should be done in “this country” without any understanding of how the Constitution works, or why it was written the way it was.

This “recall and punish” attitude is what you have in banana republics. Take this energy and put it to use reading Russell Kirk, or William F Buckley.

Does no provision for recall mean that we cannot recall?

Because the legal definition of treason is a lot narrower than you think it should be.
