Impose Fines on 113th Congress: Guilty of Sedition
According to 18 USC ยง 2384, (U.S. Criminal Code): If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, OR TO OPPOSE BY FORCE THE AUTHORITY THEREOF, OR BY FORCE TO PREVENT, HINDER, OR DELAY THE EXECUTION OF ANY LAW OF THE UNITED STATES, or by force to seize, take,or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.
Why is this important?
I am a disabled U.S. army veteran. I believe in true democracy and the rule of law that should govern it. If you read the actual text of the U.S. Criminal Code, it is absolutely clear that the current Congress is "by force trying to prevent and delay the execution of a law"--the Affordable Care Act. I have seen no evidence that anyone is holding Congress to the law, and that's why I'm starting this petition. No one should be above the law.
