Over 239,000 Americans Sign Petition Demanding Treason Charges Against GOP Senators Behind Iran Letter

The Republican tactic of attempting to torpedo the ongoing negotiations between President Obama and the Iranian Government has backfired in a spectacular way. As a result of the letter, over 200,000 Americans are now calling for charges of treason to be filed against the 47 Republican senators who masterminded the letter.

A petition filed with whitehouse.gov on Monday has more than 200,000 signatures as of mid-Thursday afternoon. Just to be clear; various right-wing rallies planned days in advance could only dream of this sort of turn out.

The White House must respond to any petition that gets 100,000 signatures in 30 days. This one netted more than twice that in four.

The petition calls for the rogue senators to be charged under the Logan Act, which dates from 1799 and forbids unauthorized citizens, including senators, from negotiating with foreign governments. Now, the law is out-of-date and probably wouldn't be applicable in court, but the sheer volume of signatures means the White House will have to add its own response. READ MORE
