Please sign the Petition to file charges against the 47 Senators

Democrats have been furious all day, and the strong language isn’t limited to the Daily News. There is a petition on the White House website accusing these Republicans of treason. http://www.mediaite.com/online/tomorrows-ny-daily-news-cover-calls-gop-sens-traitors-over-iran-letter/


The Petition is at https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/file-charges-against-47-us-senators-violation-logan-act-attempting-undermine-nuclear-agreement/NKQnpJS9

Please sign it and spread the word far and wide so we can shove it down those treasonous bastards throats. I am beyond outraged.

1) silence opposing media and

2) all but abolish political opposition

What next? Shall we float a petition suspending presidential elections until we're sure Obama's legacy is safe?

I like it better when the RW plays the role of authoritarian fascist.

Signing petitions to illustrate a popular will is rather fascist. Local troop of Nazi girl scouts is attempting to get me to sign a petition to get more books into the the children's section of the library. Heil Hitler, indeed.

(I like it better when the RW plays the role of half-witted idiot.)

It's the howling, unhinged demands for censorship and criminalizing dissent that make this simultaneously ridiculous and disturbing.

when I posted this in the middle of the night last night hoping we could help raise that number. I also put it on FB. I missed an earlier post since it wasn't clear in the title and there may have been another after mine. All really helped. We can be proud being a significant number of the 100,000 goal. It felt good being able to take positive action.

Take a look at the response given to the petition (which had over 250,000 signatures) to deport Justin Bieber.

Actually, the most likely response from the WH will be not to respond at all.
