ETHICS AND LEGALITIES FOR THEE, NOT FOR ME
" Culture of corruption " Nancy Pelosi's campaign mantra conveniently whitewashes, if not completely obliterates her and fellow democrats' long, and continuing unethical, illegal and immoral behavior. But, then, she and her cohorts are politically correct democrats, therefore, truth, honesty, integrity and character does not apply. Only PC can look into the eye of Americans ' via ' TV camera and lie without flinching or blushing - even when TV and audio proof refute denials. To the PC there is no such thing as ' wrong ' - unless you get caught and consequences follow. It's only wrong to get caught in wrongdoing that cannot be lied away, blamed on Conservatives / Republicans, or made a race or class issue. Nancy Pelosi (Ca.) either has a severe memory disorder or is an expert at selective " amnesia " . She, joined by Co-hort Reid brayed loud and long about ending the " culture of corruption ". Yet, If one can believe the " news " Speaker Pelosi once indulged lobbyists' hopes of winning favorable treatment from regulators, resulting in half-trillion dollar scandal and $125 billion tab for taxpayer... Pelosi / Reid need to tone down the culture of corruption mantra. History tells a far different story. Democrats' corruption and treasonous behavior is too deeply imbedded.
FACES OF DEMOCRATS' ETHICAL BRIGADE / MORAL MAJORITY : Council on American-Islamic Relations ( now that the DEMS are in charge ) struts through the Halls of Congress - measuring for drapes ? CAIR, terror group, portrays itself as a moderate organization. Its history is filled with red flags. According to Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Terrorism and Homeland Security, CAIR has conspired, agreed with - but not limited to - Islamic Association for Palestine , Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, Global Relief Foundation, foreign nationals hostile to interests of United States and " Flying Imans". CAIR provided material support to known terrorist organizations, advanced Hamas' agenda, and propagated radical Islam. Bassem Kafagi, Director of Public Affairs, was arrested by US due to ties with terror-financing front group, pled guilty to charges and agreed to be deported to Egypt. Khafagi's illegal actions occurred while he was employed by CAIR; Founder of CAIR, Texas chapter, Ghassan Elashi, and Holy Land Foundation was arrested by the United States, charged with making false statements on export declarations, conspiracy and money laundering. Imam Siraj Wahaj, CAIR Board Member, was un-indicted co-conspirator in 1993, bombing of the World Trade Center. CAIR staff claimed they worked with Rep. John Conyers, Democrat (Mich.) serving Michigan's large Muslim population. Conyers, long-time terrorist and Marxist sympathizer, is alleged to have received campaign funds funneled by CAIR and other Muslim groups.
John Conyers, Chairman, House Judiciary Committee, only member of Congress to speak before, and lend his prestige to, anti-war rally organized by the Marxist-Leninist, A.N.S.W.E.R. pro-North Korean front group. Conyers, National Executive Board member of the National Lawyers Guild (NLG), originally created as a Soviet front ... is one of the top recipients of donations from Arab-American Leadership PAC. Conyers fought FBI outreach efforts in the Arab and Muslim community in Detroit designed to gather intelligence on potential cells and protect the home front. Syndicated columnist Debbie Schlussel reported, during Muslim American Society fundraising dinner for Islamic Relief, a charity with links to the Muslim Brotherhood, Conyers and his wife, guests of honor, watched and clapped as Sanabel Al-Quds "dancing" troop from Milwaukee — featuring boys as young as seven — sang in Arabic of martyrdom and jihad for Allah and Palestine... used rifles to simulate killing and pistol-whipping, simulated throat-slitting and beheadings, and dishonored the American flag.
Rep. Steny H. Hoyer of Maryland — the more ethical (?) candidate secured $2.8 million for ManTech International Corp, sent $61.7 million to his district frequently benefitting local defense contractors. ManTech’s executives and its political action committee have donated $49,000 to Hoyer’s campaign and leadership funds since 2001.
Rep. Charles Rangel (NY) Chairman of powerful Ways and Means Committee photographed attending Members of the Workers World Party. Stalinists ideology calls for destruction of United States, abolition of property, and the literal enslavement of the entire human race, sides with horrific totalitarian regime in North Korea. against America. Charles Rangel, former chairman of the Apollo Theater Foundation and Percy E. Sutton, a political power in New York and an old Rangel pal, allegedly made millions of dollars running shows at the Apollo but failed to return an agreed-upon share of the profits to the theater, following a state investigation, Rangel resigned as chairman, though he still sits on the Apollo board. Charles Rangel (NY) - accepted far more monies from Jack Abramoff than did Tom DeLay,
William Jefferson (La) William Jefferson facts speak for themselves: under investigation since March of 2005; under FBI investigation; found $90,000.00 in freezer. videotape evidence of him accepting a bribe; received a standing ovation from the Congressional Black Caucus despite the scandal; nearly placed Jefferson on the House Homeland Security Committee despite the scandal. However, it was Nancy Pelosi herself who shut down the Ethics committee investigation of William Jefferson. Alcee Hastings (Ala ) was Impeached for bribe taking, but continues to serve. Pelosi attempted to place him on security, post but was rebuffed. Keith Ellison, incoming Democrat freshman, a Louis Farrakhan disciple and first Muslim member of Congress, will no doubt expand the invitation list. He should never have been seated. Rep. John Murtha, anti-Iraq war Democrat, once urged President Clinton to begin a complete pullout of U.S. troops from Mogadishu, Somalia. Murtha, ( like John Kerry, Mass - not-worth-the price gigolo - who used illegal 527 contributions ) is also immeshed in claimed " War Hero " status controversy. Murtha, unindicted Abscam co-conspirator, has long had a penchant for trading votes for pork projects. Both he and John Kerry seems to have received their combat courage degree from the same correspondence school. Maxine Waters ( Ca) influence earned family $1,000,000.00 + ; referred to Crips and Bloods as "Our gangsta babies" group has now spread its violence from California throughout United States. Sheila Jackson-Lee - views herself as queen, DC, and demands to be treated like vision of a queen - chauffeured from residence to Capital - two blocks. Enron contributed heavily to her campaign coffers ( $380,000.00 ? ). Barney Frank ( Mass ) once ( ? ) operated a Gay prostitution ring out of his apartment . Rep. John Dingle, charged with ruining the career of a Pulitzer Prize winner in the Baltimore Case with investigation and charges that were proved untrue.
Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) known inside the Beltway as , "Leaky Leahy", an extremely abrasive and "sneaky" man, " walked the line " between politics and treason, now, nation's — most important and sensitive - Senate Judiciary Committee, Chairman. Leahy has a history and propensity for revealing classified information : as vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, "Leaky Leahy," "inadvertently" disclosed a top-secret communications intercept during a 1985, television interview that made possible capture of Arab terrorists who had hijacked cruise ship Achille Lauro ... Leahy's leak cost the life of at least one Egyptian "asset" involved in the operation. Reportedly, Leahy leaked secret information about 1986, covert operation to topple Libya's Moammar Gaddhafi. Weeks later, news of the secret plan turned up in the Washington Post, causing it to be aborted. Today, Leahy sits on Judiciary Committee, has access to classified information and documents. ... " Americans should be afraid very afraid. " ( Jim Kouri December 8, 2006 ) ...
Durbin traveled to Hawaii, Italy, India, Bangladesh and South Africa, paid for by outside interests and has assets of about $900,000. The non-partisan Aspen Institute paid for two trips and the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations another and the fourth by the taxpayer-funded Democratic Policy Group. These free trips -- not to be confused with official congressional travel -- were the subject of more intense partisan political scrutiny. His scurrilous, fabricated charges are legendary.
Associated Press - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid "collected a $1.1 million windfall on a Las Vegas land sale even though he hadn't personally owned the property for three years." He had transferred the land to a company created by a friend, but took a financial stake in that company, according to records and interviews. The complex dealings allowed Reid to transfer ownership, legal liability and some tax consequences to Brown's company without public knowledge, but still collect a seven-figure payoff nearly three years later. Sen. Joseph Biden (D-Del.) once held $24,000 fund-raise for the senator's campaign coffers at the California home of Dr. Sadegh Namazi-khah, strong supporter of the Tehran regime and leading pro-Iran lobbyist . The Iranian mullahs have been responsible for the deaths of at scores of Americans. Any Senator who takes money from those guilty in killing of Americans should not hold positions of honor and trust in the United States Congress.
Billary Clinton,- ( 2 for 1) Chameleon, best and most accurately describes Hillary Clinton, depending on WHO and WHAT she wants to accomplish. She thinks WHO ( people, meant to be used as needed and discarded ) can assist in her ambition to achieve WHAT ( first woman president of United States. Both Bill and Hillary have history - as sordid as it is public, not to mention criminal ( she and Bill should be doing time in orange jumpsuits ). The White-water deals were illegal. Hiding evidence in the private quarters of the White House, and lying to Grand Jury are obstructions of justice - both felonies. Hillary's one constant is her steadfast dedication to Marxism. Her records at Yale, ( supposedly ) sealed - now, revealed have surfaced. Sean Hannity is having a wonderful time revealing them on HANNITY'S AMERICA. Also screaming for " EXPOSE " - Clintons' arrived in Washington, clothes on back, suitcase in hand, 8 years later, left, owning townhouse in swankiest section of Washington, D.C. , estate in Chapaqua, New York, and reportedly worth $50,000,000.00. What 's wrong with this picture! Too many facts regarding the Clintons' tenure demands questions, discussion and answers. Facts are hinted at, glossed over and ignored. On the 7/21/07 edition of FOX's Journal Report, during the HIT / MISS segment, Bret Stephens, Wall Street Journal columnist, gave Bill Clinton a " MISS " for berating President Bush's handling of the Iraq War. His comment, " Clinton " ... bequeathed the Iraq problem ... " and should be more careful in his criticism. No follow up !
Why is there no questioning of such heavy-handed attempts to blame President Bush for Iraq or spread the blame evenly ? When China's missiles were falling out of the sky faster than they could be launched, who permitted technical assistance to correct the problem, so that they now can point at America ? Or, who helped North Korea begin its nuclear program with financial and technical assistance ? Very scant questioning of what Sandy Berger President Clinton's national security adviser while working to prepare himself and Clinton administration witnesses for testimony to the Sept. 11 commission removed classified documents from the National Archives. hid them under a construction trailer and later tried to find the trash collector to retrieve them. He pleaded guilty, received a criminal sentence. What was he and the Clinton's so desperate to hide that he risked jail time and destruction of career and reputation to hide ? Now, the Dems want a special prosecutor to investigate Attorney General Gonzolez for perjury, for not revealing classified information during one of their inane witch hunts ? Clinton, next to Carter will probably be recorded by history as one of the most inept, incompetent and corrupt presidents to ever occupy the Oval Office, no matter how the liberal media attempts to gloss over and spin Clinton's shortcomings. During a recent Press Conference, Tony Snow asked the question that bears repeating, what is the Arkansan word for Chupzspar ? It must have the same meaning in both California and Nevada. Reid and Pelosi's "Culture of Corruption " translates into " Legalities and Ethics for thee, but not for me !?

CONGRESSIONAL REGIME CHANGE NEEDED PART 2
Hear Ye ! Hear Ye ! Hear Ye ! America's grassroots are awakening, political muscles are flexing. And, not a moment too soon ! Today's Congress has come to believe they own the government. They don't, the American voter does ! As a voter, these traitorous destructive, windbags believe the voter's only duty is to keep voting to re-elect them. Thus, these political squatters in Washington, D.C., believe they can do as they damm well please ! Wrong ! Red flags of warning are flying, but the power possessed are too arrogant, too ignorant to see the signs of their imminent demise. Defeat of the " Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bill was just one of the missed red flags. The PC DEMOCRATS and GUTLESS R.I.N.O. have been in power too long. They see their constituents as gullible. They believe all they have to do is make a fleeting visit home on a weekend, show up in their district office, smile, lie return to Washington, lie and betray America - in other words, business as usual. America needs a Congressional regime change. America needs to elect to office men and women, accomplished, comfortable in his/her own skin, who have displayed leadership skills and abilities over a long period of time. This calibre political representative must be sought. America needs leaders who in addition to leadership have both the desire and the ability to serve the nation. America needs a leader whose his finger is not constantly testing the direction of the blowing wind. This capable, self-reliant, patriotic individual must be sought out and elected, first locally, then at the state level and finally as a national representative. American citizens are beginning to become aware of the need to become self-reliant once again, accept personal responsibility and choose their elected representatives based on character and integrity. It's time for the grass-root citizens to get back to constitutional government, justice as set forth in the constitution and an educational system that educates, not indoctrinates. Citizens must become personally responsible and demand the right to make individual choices regarding self and family value systems. Welfare without end must end. Welfare should be for a limited time and only for the truly needy - the very old, ill and destitute, the young orphan, the physically or mentally handicapped.
With the DEMS and GUTLESS R.I.N.O. its the same class / race warfare meant to camouflage efforts to effect a totalitarian form of government in America, where a small elite group imposes its will on the larger majority. As it says in Ecclesiastics, " to all things there is a season ". The 2006 election was the season. 2006 was really America's wake-up call. The Democrats' true intent was revealed - impose totalitarian rule in America and help Iran and its terrorists win the global war on terrorism - defeating America. Before they were officially sworn into office these traitors immediately set about to first, undermine, then ( real objective ) totally eradicate the freedoms American have died. Freedom that are the foundation of this great nation. The Terrorists - Unions, Left Wing Wackos' I O U' S were coming fast and furious. It's time Americans let these traitors to America and their Terrorist funders, Anti-America Haters, Labor Unions and Hollywood Left-Wing Wackos who really owns America. Politically Correct Democrats and GUTLESS R.I.N.O. are very much like the Islamist terrorists in that they offer nothing but unrelenting hatred and obsession with America's destruction. They cannot lead. They have no solutions to America's problems. The Congressional Democrats are a study in " ABUSE OF POWER ". They have much more in common with a gang of thugs than they do with representative leaders of a great nation like America. Voters voted them in, voters can and will vote them out - the sooner the better !
The PC Democrats' Funders and terrorist fronts did all they could ( prior to upcoming 2006 elections ) - in terms of carnage in Iraq, and " alleged " contributions to Democrats' campaign war chests - to get the PC Democrats / Gutless R.I.N.O. elected / re-elected. Now, I O U in hand and no longer content to lurk in the shadows, secretly funneling money into traitors' campaign war chests, they are attending annual planning meetings, selecting office space in the capital and broadcasting their " dominant " role in the Democrats 11/7/07 election wins. As America's betrayers desperately struggle to deliver the prize they were paid to deliver - America's withdrawal from Iraq - emboldened, becoming increasingly flagrant, the terrorist and their American cell front men are asserting what they consider their prerogative - winner take all. Attempting to counter the " SURGE " and remind the traitorous cowards, obsessed with retaining the perks of power why they are struggling to run up the white flag of surrender in the first place, the terrorists are ramping up terror attacks, suicide bombings with all its gory carnage for the liberal news media and the internet. And, right on cue, the PC Democrats / Gutless R.I.N.O., vested in America's defeat are lamenting America's need to DO SOMETHING, and lamenting America's inability to win against the terrorists and foolishly babbling about benchmarks - the term, timetables proved to be a no no ! The " blame America first " traitors need to have the public spotlight shine on the role they played through the years, and continue to play in encouraging and embolden the terrorists. Every-time the PC DEMS belittle the President, criticize the pace and conduct of the war and the RINO head for the tall grass, trying to keep a very low profile. They all say to America's sworn enemies, in effect, " Hold on a little longer, we will retreat, we will surrender, you can feel free to destroy America, land of freedom and opportunity without fear of reprisal ."
America's need for Congressional regime change grows more desperate with each passing day. This calls for a massive swelling of grass-root citizens, as with the defeat of the flawed " Immigration Reform Bill ". Thankfully, the average American is beginning to wake up to ... Hopefully, grass-root citizens are remembering that they are the government and therefore hold all the power. They loan - of their own free will - power to those they believe to be trustworthy enough to be their representative. They can reclaim that power anytime they choose. It's called free elections or re-call elections ! It's time for another grassroots' uprising / muscle-flexing. It's time for a reclamation of power, political power. For too many of today's politicians, they have been in power too long. They have become obsessed with the perks of power. They have come to view their their tenure in office as a divine right and the people who put them there only a means to an end. As the PC DEMS / GUTLESS R.I.N.O. desperately struggle to bring about America's defeat in Iraq and pay their debt to the terrorists, it is time grass-root American begin to seek out candidates with character, integrity and begin to groom them for leadership, to replace those obsessed with power who have forgotten who put them in power and who have the power to take back their " loaned " power and boot them out of office.
Education 101 teaches that there is always a teachable moment. The teacher must seize this " teachable moment " to teach those politicians more than willing to betray American freedoms for a few paltry campaign dollars from enemies who have sworn to destroy and replace America's constitutional laws with Sharia law where wanton killing is an obligation, that ITS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN ! Some, rationalize this insanity with a belief in the failed ideology of Karl Marx's Communism / Socialism. This ideology requires an elite group who enjoys the perks of power and the inferior, enslaved peons who provide this elite their superior facade. Today, there are too many politicians too greedy, too lacking in character and integrity to continue in elected office. These poll driven imbeciles who would risk the specter of car / suicide bombers as a daily occurrence in America have proven themselves too unfit and too unqualified to serve as America's representative. Their tenure as representatives of the people in Congress should end.
Too long Americans have accepted the betrayal of America's National Security, undermining of the people's trust and culture. they buy elections with entitlement bribes to poor uneducated minorities and consider the practice as just 'politics'. When the quest for power, for the sake of power, becomes so great, so all consuming that national security, personal character, honor and integrity is cast aside and the need to rationalize treasonous, despicable deeds is so overwhelming that distinguishing between truth and fallacy cease to exist, then, chosen representatives should be defeated, recalled / replaced. Playing the "blame game , never ending criticizing, ", waging constant race and class warfare, always maintaining a state of conflict, tension among groups " reveals politicians' corruption and incompetence. Never-ending, point less investigations cannot hide the inability to govern, to solve problems, to plan for a nation's future.
At what point does someone occupying a leadership position begin to consider America's youth ? When will the fact that constant chaos cannot hide the fact that Democrats lack leadership ability. They represent those " elite " with money who hate America and want to see it destroyed and those " balkanized " poor, uneducated ethnic minority, whom they bribe with " entitlements " and hold in beholden bondage generation after generation that make up their voting constituents. Again, at what point does these so-called leaders begin to consider America's youth ? Is this not the same kind of hate indoctrination that terrorists use on their youth to ensure generation after generation of terrorists and suicide bombers ? America deserves better, Grass-roots America had better wake-up - for the sake of America's youth.
Representatives, (?) to use the term loosely, " who aid and abet enemies -who have sworn to destroy America - for the sake of a campaign contribution, seem to believe when the carnage comes, they will be able to watch America's destruction at a distance, safely peering through the tinted windows of chauffeur driven, bullet proof limousines - paid for by taxes of the governed / duped. The PC DEMS have nothing to offer but hate, blame, anger, corruption and chaos. The gutless R.I.N.O. consider themselves to be keeping a low profile - going along to get along and stay in office - if the fickle polls are right. Neither, PC DEMS or GUTLESS R.I. N.O. know how to govern. complaints and conflict hide their incompetence, they think. DEMS and R.I.N.O. have no plans for NATIONAL SECURITY, future improvements or growth in America. They offer nothing as role models for today's youth.
Recently, on C-Span, a " so-called " debate between Newt Gingrich and Mario Cuomo, proved politically correct Democrats don't know the meaning of " debate ". They can't speak two minutes without going on a "republican / conservative anger driven- hate filled rant. Thankfully, Newt took the podium first. He was prepared. He presented his thesis - 3 major points regarding change. He spoke on each point, provided examples, denounced flawed, bureaucratic policies, not individuals. Then concluded and sat down. Mario Cuomo, as PC Democrats always do. Picked up on Newts points, blamed and denounced President Bush ( the PC DEMS have wasted almost 8 years running against President George Bush ) and predicted changes to be expected when the DEMS won the presidential elections in 2008. I kept wondering, what is his subject, where is his preparation ? He began with a rant, blame and condemnation, and ended as he began. Democrats cannot debate an issue. It's always the blame game / hate speech. They come with prepared " talking points " and TALK - having perfected the art of talking over your opponent, regardless of format or questions.
When Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and their politically incorrect - insane "- brigade appears on television, anger is visible, lying speeches drip with venom. They are a sickening sight. Keith Ellison - Mr. fanatic Muslim, nose under the tent, disgrace - should never have been seated. He, like the other crazy, traitorous PC DEMS is ABUSE OF POWER, PERSONIFIED. His haranguing of Christine Whitman, former governor of New Jersey was pathetic. But then, all DEMS do it. That seems to be their idea of displaying power. America needs two strong parties, sharing the same constitutional philosophy, a different way of expressing same, but always with America and her citizens' best interest guiding behavior, not winning at all costs attitude. . Grass root America must rid itself of are those who would willingly and willfully destroy America's very foundation for the perks of power. The PC DEMS and GUTLESS R.I.N.O. lie to America's citizens - especially its most vulnerable youth with impunity. Even when confronted with video/audio that proves they are lying, they brazen it out, they don't even blink or wince. They are incapable of exhibiting even a modicum of leadership. America needs a Congressional regime change, now !
Why are " so-called " leaders allowed to create dissension and foment hatred with their endless race and class wars without blame or consequence ? Why are corrupt politicians allowed to use America's Constitutional Rights to protect terrorists among us ? As Democrats have done for the past six (6) years they continue to belittle, berate, disrespect and campaign against George Bush - though he is in the last term of his presidency and cannot constitutionally run again. They have betrayed our country, defamed our President and defiled American culture. The Democrats have constantly given comfort and encouragement to America's enemies ! President Bush, a man of character, integrity and unabashedly christian is like an omnipotent, spotlighted mirror that is always in their face, highlighting every depraved, treasonous blemish, calling attention to their most minute imperfections. These PC have a myriad of flaws, character and physical. For them, like all others, who a make pack with the devil, hell's doomsday is approaching much sooner than expected. IOU's are being presented by those who have no concept of the word NO ! CAN'T ! WAIT ! These sinners will find no place to hide !
It's time Americans became outraged against the traitors, betrayers of America. Americans should not need to be reminded that 9-11 really did happen, that it is they to whom the power belongs, not the "unfit to serve ", whose only real concern is getting re-elected. Stop playing the political game - holding one's nose in disgust and voting the scoundrels back into office again and again, simply because they built another bridge in their honor or paved another road to rename after themselves ! Americans must ask, loudly :
Why have our national defense / security information been printed in the New York Times with no legal repercussions for the leakers or publishers? Why does Sandy Berger walk without wearing prison garb, without shackles or armed guards? Why haven't those who provide aid and comfort to America's enemies been publicly named, charged with treason and brought to trial ? Why are Congressional " leaders ? " - Nancy Pelosi,? Harry Reid ? John Conyers ? Charles Rangel ? Joe Biden ? Congressional Black caucus Members ? Jimmy Carter ? Billiary Clinton, et al - allowed to form alliances with enemies of America and flaunt it ? Why hasn't the Logan Act been used against them ? Logan Act § 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...The clear intent of this provision [Logan Act] is to prohibit unauthorized persons from intervening in disputes between the United States and foreign governments. In 1984, President Ronald Reagan stated that the activities of the Reverend Jesse Jackson, who had traveled to Cuba and Nicaragua that year and had returned with several Cuban political prisoners seeking asylum in the United States, may have violated the Logan Act; but Jackson was never indicted.[1] In 1987 and 1988, President Reagan was furious at what he felt to House Speaker Jim Wright's "intrusion" into the negotiations between Nicaragua's Sandinista government and the Contras for a cease-fire in the long civil war. The National Security Council considered using the Logan Act to muzzle Wright, but nothing ever came of it. The President is the constitutional representative of the United States with regard to foreign nations. He manages our concerns with foreign nations, and must necessarily be most competent to determine when, how, and upon what subjects negotiation may be urged with the greatest prospect of success. For his conduct, he is responsible to the Constitution. [5] The chair of the House Judiciary Committee in the 109th Congress, James F. Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin, proposed a comprehensive revision and modernization of the federal criminal code in 2006. The bill, H.R. 6253, was not enacted into law. What is noteworthy is that the Logan Act was significantly revamped in the proposed legislation to prohibit only knowingly false statements made under oath. The section revising the Logan Act was proposed to read as follows: Sec. 923. False statements influencing foreign government — Whoever, in relation to any dispute or controversy between a foreign government and the United States, knowingly makes any untrue statement, either orally or in writing, under oath before any person authorized and empowered to administer oaths, which the affiant has knowledge or reason to believe will, or may be used to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government, or of any officer or agent of any foreign government, to the injury of the United States, or with a view or intent to influence any measure of or action by the United States or any department or agency thereof, to the injury of the United States, shall be imprisoned not more than ten years.[6] In June 2007, Representative Steve King introduced legislation that would prohibit Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi from traveling to foreign states which the U.S. deems to sponsor terrorism. King claimed that Pelosi's message to the Syrian government violated Logan's Law. [7] The amendment was not adopted. ( Google Search )
Grass - Roots' America should begin a petition to bring the LOGAN ACT 953 to the forefront and apply it to those traitors who hide behind the shield of Congressional protection.
