“WE THE PEOPLE ASK THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO TAKE OR EXPLAIN A POSITION ON AN ISSUE OR POLICY:

CHARGE Donald J. Trump, 18 U.S. Code § 2381 – TREASON

Created by M.D. on July 27, 2016

—–

Donald Trump has incited Russia to hack into and publish Hillary Clinton’s private emails. The Republican presidential candidate is openly ENCOURAGING a foreign government to take illegal actions that would influence a US election. This is the first time that a major presidential candidate has actively encouraged a foreign power to conduct espionage against his political opponent. This has gone from being a matter of politics to being a national security issue.

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.”

Can we all take a moment to appreciate that this petition exists, that no, he literally did encourage a foreign power to spy on one of our top officials, and then sign this? I, personally, think the response would be hilarious

currently 2911 signatures

As a minor point, I find it interesting how that reflects on modern sentencing. Contrast ‘death, or no less than five years’ with today’s sentences of 10, 20, or 25+ years.

That said, sign this shit for a laugh, even though we know the fash isn’t going to do anything to one of its own.
