Payback for 2000 - didn’t I read where the Left would never acknowledge GWB as the president, and disobey him at any turn?
Pelosi violated the Logan Act and needs to be prosecuted. If you haven’t done so, write your representative. We need to urge congress to remove her from office.
It is my understanding that the Logan Act does NOT apply to members of Congress.
I will certainly call my Reps. and Senators. That being said, I do not expect to hear the two words “Logan Act” on the news anytime....ever.
I got a different perspective from the WSJ today. This is a good article.
Bang on!
” Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply, himself or his agent, to any foreign government or the agents thereof for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects.”
That’s the Logan Act. There is no exception for members of congress.
Her Hatred of President Bush is the only thing that guides her. What a Baffoon!
Pray for W and Our Troops
Here's the text of the law:
§ 953. Private correspondence with foreign governments.
Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply himself, or his agent, to any foreign government, or the agents thereof, for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects.
18 U.S.C. § 953 (2004).
That has GOT to pi$$ Hillary and Condi off.....
“That being said, I do not expect to hear the two words Logan Act on the news anytime....ever.”
Actually, I heard them discussing it on Fox News earlier today. I forget who was talking about it, but they pretty much agreed that Pelosi had committed a felony.
There’s no doubt that she committed the crime, it’s just a matter of holding her accountable.

But wait! As soon as Pelosi is back home she will rule on all the current cases before the Supreme Court.
Then we hold a coronation...
The reference to President Nixon is clearly a mistake for FDR—Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg died in 1951.
“The Justice Department should be directed by President Bush to investigate Pelosi. It is time to take on the RATS.”
LOUDER! LET THIS MESSAGE RESONATE ACROSS THE LAND! CONTACT YOUR CONGRESS CRITTER, YOUR SENATOR AND THE WHITEHOUSE.
Do NOT let this die.
Thanks for the link . . .email sent to Rep. Todd Akins R-MO.
I've seen that posted several times here.
Do you have a substantiating link?
