White House Petition to Charge ‘Treasonous’ Senators for Iran Letter Breaks 100,000 Signers in One
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 3/10/15 | Kristinn Taylor

Posted on 03/10/2015 9:58:39 PM PDT by Nachum

A petition posted to the White House’s ‘We the People’ do it yourself petition site on Monday calls for prosecution under the Logan Act of the forty-seven U.S. senators who signed a letter initiated by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) to the Iranian government about the negotiations for a nuclear deal between the Islamist state sponsor of terrorism and President Barack Obama.

The petition accuses the senators of having committed a “treasonous offense” and violating the Logan Act which prohibits U.S. citizens from conducting unauthorized negotiations with foreign powers.

Signers of the petition rocketed it past the 100,000 minimum signers set by the Obama administration to receive a response from the White House in just one day. The petition was created by “C.H.” of Bogata, New Jersey on Monday the same day the letter was released and by late Tuesday evening it had well over 118,000 signatures. In a one-hour period Tuesday night over seven thousand signatures were added to the petition.

The text of the petition reads:

“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.

In 2008, the office of the president elect was co-equal with the President of the United States. Obama said so.

Treason against the obamanation is not the same as treason against the United States of America. Comrade dictator obama has repeatedly violated his oath of office and does not represent United States of America.

It was appropriate for Congress to warn Iran’s leaders that they would be making a treaty with him alone.

I’ve met a few very bright honest lefty- commie types - who did not find it necessary to lie when advocating their ideas or programs Why the Hell do we get stuck with Obama and pelosi types ?! It’s distressingly discouraging.

But the senators aren’t conduction negotiation with foreign powers. They disagree with the treaty that is being negotiated by obama. This is a complete rewriting of a law to make someone guilty

Ain't it the truth! I wish I had the time and resources to start looking into these protestors, all the ones who show up at every damn cop shooting in the country, the ones who "emailed" the FCC for the Internet takeover, all the other "professional average citizens" voicing their inane objections to life.

FWIW ...

"The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953, enacted January 30, 1799) is a United States federal law that forbids unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments. It was intended to prohibit unauthorized United States citizens from interfering in relations between the United States and foreign governments.[2] The Act was passed following George Logan's unauthorized negotiations with France in 1798, and was signed into law by President John Adams on January 30, 1799. The Act was last amended in 1994, and violation of the Logan Act is a felony."

The most incredible thing recently was Obie saying that there were a lot of things he would like to do but we’re not a monarchy (ha ha) so he couldn’t.
Well, Parliament had no comment so he just started doing them ... and Parliament still didn’t seem to have a problem with it.
Next: random, involuntary organ harvesting. (Congress: We don’t have a problem with that.)

The people who are reporting these numbers are the same people who are reporting our “economic recovery.”

I’m still willing to wager that BOBO will be writing executive orders after he leaves office and Boehner will still be honoring them.

When they advocate killing 20-25 million opponents, THAT is a rare truth.

This is why there can be no debate. They don’t mean to persuade the opposition, they will bury us.

They might want to check to see if the petitions were automatically filled by bots or if they came from foreign / overseas sources.

The petitioners are USELESS IDIOTS if they are real. They want the fkn Iranians to have the damn bomb! I doubt they even know what they signed.

The obama soros pelosi Jarrett Sharpton jackson Reid liar type leftists are different in kind than most D’s of just 30 or 40 years ago. These are actually dangerous and mostly very anti-American in any meaning of that term. It’s still hard for some “liberals” or long- term D party voters to come to grips with the fact that the D party apparatus has been taken over by an extremist Commie-IslamoNazi alliance, so to speak, with ideologies most Americans still find repugnant. There are many D party members who would refuse to support or vote for these new types - if someone would just point it out clearly. But the R party and it’s candidates won’t breath a word about it. The D party remains king ( dictator, Calife) even tho the King has no clothes.

Dissent is Patriotic...only if one is a leftist.

Anyone remember the human sheilds during the Iraq war...hailed as heroic by lefties.

I’m more concerned about the 53 traitors who didn’t sign the letter.

So the liberals finally discovered the Logan Act. Funny how they could recall it for Kerry, Kennedy, Bonior, McDermott, Pelosi, etc...
