186,116 signatures and rising quickly!
The petition to file charges against the 47 U.S. Senators who violated The Logan Act by attempting to undermine multilateral negotiations toward a nuclear agreement with Iran has garnered almost 200,000 signatures in less than two days. It currently has 188,072 signatures (6:45PM Pacific Time, Wednesday evening), and it has been steadily growing. It will likely hit 200,000 in under 48 hours, which to me seems significant. I think people are really pissed about this.
I know I am. This is serious business. This is intentionally throwing a monkey wrench into peace negotiations and undermining the authority of the Executive Branch. It also makes the United States look like anything but. What about our allies on the international stage and our partners in the nuclear negotiations? Well they have to be laughing...or crying...at how foolish and inept this makes our country's foreign policy look.
Are we the United States?? Or are our leaders just a bunch of squabbling kids trying to play quien es mas macho? I, for one, am deeply embarrassed - for my country, for myself and my countrymen, for the fact that THIS is what comes from the political opposition in my homeland. I am deeply embarrassed to have to share a nation with slimy rats who will go to any length to attempt to score some points and win a political football game. Even treason.
It is clear. Right-wing militarists control the Republican party. Their agenda will always be war. They are going to rattle their sabers, raise hue and cry and fearmonger for all their worth. Too many of them profit from the defense industry and do its bidding. If you support war, continue supporting Republican candidates.
I'm so pissed. How can they get away with this shit?!!

On March 9th, 2015, forty-seven United States Senators committed a treasonous offense when they decided to violate the Logan Act, a 1799 law which forbids unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments. Violation of the Logan Act is a felony, punishable under federal law with imprisonment of up to three years.
At a time when the United States government is attempting to reach a potential nuclear agreement with the Iranian government, 47 Senators saw fit to instead issue a condescending letter to the Iranian government stating that any agreement brokered by our President would not be upheld once the president leaves office.
This is a clear violation of federal law. In attempting to undermine our own nation, these 47 senators have committed treason.
