House Concurrent Resolution 107---A Letter To Senators

[James A Seigfreid]

Please note that this was sent to my Senators here in Georgia...while only one was mentioned in the headline, they are both linked at the hip, and it went where it should go.  Also, if there is a need by any to use this as a template for their own, please feel free to do so.  God Bless---and here is the diatribe:

Dear Senator Chamblis;  I am sure you are aware of House Concurrent Resolution 107.  I am also sure that you are more than aware of the testimony and statements given by Leon Panetta in front of the Senate Armed Services Committee, in which he unilaterally declared that the United States Military now serves at the behest of the United Nations, and that any authorization for military action must be decided by them, and in that case, he might just decide to brief the United States Congress about it....or maybe not.  It was all kinda "iffy."

Seeing as how you & I have had discussions concerning your close friend Leon Panetta in the past, particularly when he was up for confirmation...an unusual move for this Administration, as it actually attempted to recognize the Rule of Law at the time...I find your silence rather astonishing regarding these events, which are linked hand-in-hand.

You pointed out, at the time, that you and Mr. Panetta had worked closely together in the past, he was a good friend, and you regarded him in the highest light.  You found my accurate representation of his past to be "unwarranted."  HMMMMM...

So I'm curious...just how does all this sit with you now?  

Will you support House Concurrent Resolution 107, or do you think it "unwarranted" also?  You see, the reason I ask should be rather apparent.  As I rarely-if ever-hear back from you any longer, I'm beginning to wonder if I am talking to a fellow American, or one who has become a big part of the problem we face in this Nation of Liberty.  Our way of life has been under vicious attack...by this very Administration.  The Rule of Law does not matter to this Kenyan or his cronies.  I know...I know...harsh words, you've probably discarded this letter by now.  Sorry to offend your tender sensibilities...but you didn't have to spend $102 to fill your tank up for the week so you could continue looking for work, either.  You don't have to worry about how you're going to cover the skyrocketing price of health insurance.  And you damn sure don't have to worry about looking for work...you've managed to make a grand career out of spending the money of your constituents!  Yippee.  Good work, if you can find it.

So let me get back to House Concurrent Resolution 107, as that was my basic focus anyway.  Will you support this measure?  And if not, just exactly WHY NOT?  After all, this has nothing to do with all that crazy stuff about releasing obviously forged documents, hiding or falsifying all public records of this man's existence...it's a very simple thing called "High Crimes and Misdemeanors."  Bill Clinton was impeached for a hell of a lot less than this.  So where is the standard going to reside now...that he's BLACK?  Are we afraid of "race riots?"  Having lived through a number of them in the '60's, I damn sure am not.  I am seriously more afraid of what another 4 years of what this congenital liar and Islamofacist will do to this country. 

I know...harsh words...and I would apologize but will do so only when you can prove to me that I AM WRONG...that millions of other Americans who are now paying avid attention ARE WRONG.  I won't bore you with the actual technical terminology of "Islamofacist", but it is rather self-explanatory, and for a very very apt description, one has to look no further than the White House right now, and then compare that with the certain lessons of history.  

I look forward as always, to your reply. 

Sincerely;

James Seigfreid

Bravo James,

I couldn't have worded it any better, let's see if this at least gets him motivated, doubtful though, and I definitely think when your guilty of a crime you should be charged, we would be!

UPDATE & ACTION ALERT:

After contacting my representatives office about supporting House Concurrent Resolution 107, I just got information from them that we actually now have House Concurrent Resolution 107, and a second piece of legislation pending in the form of an actual bill, H.R. 1609, The War Powers Reform Act of 2011 that are now BOTH in the Judicary Committee to be heard. HR 1609 was introduced by Representative Chris Gibson (N.Y.). It currently has 25 cosponsors, and it has been referred to the Rules Committee as well as the Judiciary Committee. The bill repeals a portion of the War Powers Resolution that requires the President to submit a report to Congress within 60 days of initiating military action. Instead, this bill prohibits funds from being used to support military action unless there is a declaration of war, a specific statutory authorization, or a national emergency caused by an attack or an imminent attack on the U.S.

H.Con.Res.107 – states “That it is the sense of Congress that, except in response to an actual or imminent attack against the territory of the United States, the use of offensive military force by a President without prior and clear authorization of an Act of Congress violates Congress's exclusive power to declare war under article I, section 8, clause 11 of the Constitution and therefore constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution.”

To review these pieces of legislation and others I would encourage you to visit this website: http://thomas.loc.gov/home/thomas.php In the center column be sure to click the Bill Number Radio button and enter the Bill number (i.e. H.Con.Res. 107 or H.R. 1609).

In the United States Congress, a concurrent resolution is a resolution passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate but is not presented to the President and does not have the force of law. In contrast, joint resolutions and bills are presented to the President and, once signed or approved over a veto, are enacted and have the force of law. Concurrent resolutions are generally used to address the sentiments of both chambers or deal with issues or matters affecting both houses...

It is also my understanding that my Congressman, The Honorable Rep. Jeff Miller (R) of the 1st Congressional District of Florida, from the panhandle area, is a co-sponsor of HR 1609.

PATRIOTS IT IS UP TO US "WE THE PEOPLE", TO CONTACT OUR SENATORS & CONGRESSMEN, OR CONGRESSWOMEN, AND TELL THEM AS OUR ELECTED REPRESENATTIVES TO SUPPORT BOTH OF THESE EFFORT TO DEFEND OUR CONSTITUTION & THE RULE OF LAW WHICH THEY SWORE TO PROTECT, DEFEND & UPHOLD IN THEIR OATHS OF OFFICE!

Thank you & God Bless,
