Petition Demands that John Boehner and Ted Cruz Be Tried for Seditious Conspiracy
Petition Demands that John Boehner and Ted Cruz Be Tried for Seditious Conspiracy
With the closing of the government, costing us millions if not billions of dollars, there may be a little caveat that even the Congress cannot ignore or face prison 18 USC § 2384 – Seditious conspiracy. The law reads:
If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.
Since John Boehner and his Tea Party members have conspired to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, they are in violation of the law. Just because they are the lawmakers, they are not immune to their own laws. Still public pressure is needed to enforce 18 USC § 2384. Just because Boehner et al may not agree on certain issues, the role of government MUST be kept going, instead of shutting down the government and sitting in a fetal position clutching their toys.
The Republicans are realizing that their popularity is failing badly and may go the way of the Whig; are shifting the blame from them to the Democratic Party by telling WWII vets that because they are not cutting benefits and giving the 1% their tax breaks, the monuments dedicated to them are closed. U.S. Veterans are angered and the Republicans are grasping at straws. So how do the grassroots end this partisan stalemate? By collectively demanding every law enforcement: local/county, state and federal to enforce 18 USC § 2384 or face 18 USC § 4 – Misprision of felony charges themselv

fuckng screwed our country and its people.
Demand that Congress Pass a Budget
Our country is in dire need of a plan to grow the U.S economy. Yet, House Republicans are playing politics and abusing procedural rules to block Congress from even discussing a budget. How can anything ever get done in Washington if GOP members won't even come to the table?
A budget conference must be allowed to move forward. Our country cannot continue to operate without a budget. Congress must act.
Add your name to the form to join the Democratic Governors Association and demand that Congress pass a sensible budget that will help move our economy forward, and protect the middle class.
Thanks Tx
