Harry:This was part of a message sent to our corrupt Senators. Maybe we should have a petition to originate a movement and prosecute iaw 18 USC-201.... but, where are all the Constitutional Lawyers willing to prosecute these miscreants?"Reid, Ben Nelson and Sanders be charged with and prosecuted for the federal crime of bribery under 18 USC § 201. Reid bought votes with public money and Nelson and Sanders sold their votes for benefits for themselves and the citizens of Nebraska and Vermont to the detriment of the citizens of the other states."

IT is all in black & white. now is the time to go after all of them, why should my money go to another corrupt state, they have really sold their self to the devil. they all are getting a little to ''high almighty'' it is time to put a stop to these before we ;ose our ''CONSTITUTION'' talking about pay=outs who would be the highest bidder to buy the ''CONSTITUTION'' and re=right the
''CONSTITUTION'' .................money ralks and people walk. they are walking all over the citizen of the UNITED STATES.
all the free loaders will mot stand up, so the REAL CITIZENS will have to do our job and the hell with the others.
MERTY CHRISTMAS TO ALL IN THE U.S.A. you know who you are.
No one - and I mean NO ONE - will step up to prosecute those in DC because they all know where the "bodies are buried....and they don'e dare step up to the plate. AGAINST ONE ANOTHER.......Certainly not for the American people ......THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT US !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reid's deal with Nelson is clearly unlawful under 18 USC Sec. 201. I fully intend to file a qui tam suit against Reid and Nelson asap in January 2010. Qui Tam suits at the federal level usually deal with false claims and I haven't been able to find anything in case law aside from that. It does appear, however, that legislative intent has been to encourge citizens to function as "the eyes and ears of government" and "blow the whistle" on unlawful activities of whatever stripe. I am not an attorney and I intend to file the suit "in pro per." Response to the suit will undoubtely be a motion to dismiss for lack of standing. Any insight anybody can give me with respect to how to defeat a motion to dismiss for lack of standing will be appreciated. ("Anybody" doesn't include the dozen or so "protect our rights" organizations to which I have donated money over the past decade, and which have accomplished little more than organizing the next crusade to raise money, nor underemployed attorneys searching for a fee.)

I sent an email to the Boston FBI, and plan to send a certified letter to FBI headquarters. As your, Judicial, Legislative and Executive branches have declared war on We The People, it lies with the FBI to pursue these charges of bribery and extortion.
If there is an attorney out there that would write a letter either to the FBI for actionable charges or for the Court to be filed, then we could post it here, all of us be able to copy it, mail it, or file it. Today was a very sad day and my heart ached for my beloved country, I never dreamed that so many senators could shame their personal name, their state and most of all let the American people down. I have lost count of emails and phone calls and I am more than frustrated. I want to be able to do something "LEGAL" to stop this madness!
As a former Federal Criminal Investigator I can tell you that in order to make a case of Title 18 Sec 201 (Bribery) we must be able to show in court that each of the defendents violated the following.

Well, this is beautiful and a great surprise! Now what do we do with all that information. I would like to do something with it. But it is christmas eve and I can not stay on line, but you got my attention.

It isn't that complicated. Reid offered a bribe and Nelson accepted it If anyone doubts that they violated Tile 18, Section 201, read United States v Brewster, 408 U.S. 501. The Reid-Nelson escapade is a prima facie case, but a citizen may not have standing to bring suit. Thus, being made to answer for their criminal activity may depend on action by the Attorney General, which I feel safe in predicting "ain't gonna happen." A citizen can file a so called "Qui Tam" suit under the False Claims Act when he or she has reason to believe the government is being defrauded. The government can then either take over the suit or let the citizen proceed. Suing Reid and Nelson doesn't exactly fit under he False Claims Act, but how much more nefarious are their actions than those of someone who pads their invoice to Uncle Sam ? Research is being done on how to bring a citizen's lawsuit against these two crooks. Stay tuned.
Here's a start........we have about ten State Attorney Generals pursuing a legal battle over the healthcare legislation....there is also civilan attorney's supporting the AG's.......We need to get all conservative Governors demanding the AGs get on board and bring legal action against the issue......
Court battle begins over Nelson Medicare goody in Obamacare
Clarice Feldman
Ben Nelson's taking a lot of heat for accepting the Reid bribe of a free pass on Medicaid to sign on to the Reid health care fiasco. Even the state's biggest newspaper is poking fun at him and one of my correspondents indicates he'd not be surprised if the Senator chooses not to be the ex-Senator from Nebraska by voting against the bill when it comes to a final vote after conference.
In the meantime, seven states' attorneys, lead by South Carolina are considering bringing suit if the Nebraska provision is in the final bill:
The top prosecutors in seven states are probing the constitutionality of a political deal that cut a funding break for Nebraska in order to pass a federal health care reform bill, South Carolina's attorney general said Tuesday.
Attorney General Henry McMaster said he and his counterparts in Alabama, Colorado, Michigan, North Dakota, Texas and Washington state - all Republicans - are jointly taking a look at the deal they've dubbed the "Nebraska compromise."
"The Nebraska compromise, which permanently exempts Nebraska from paying Medicaid costs that Texas and all other 49 states must pay, may violatethe United States Constitution - as well as other provisions of federal law," Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said.
