Hi Everybody!
Well, Obama tried to get the Iraqi Parliament to *delay* the withdrawal
of US troops until HE could get the credit for it, is that not carrying
on "intercourse" with a foreign government by an unauthorized citizen?
§ 953. Private correspondence with foreign governments.
Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without
authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or
carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government
or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures
or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof,
in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or
to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this
title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply
himself, or his agent, to any foreign government, or the agents thereof,
for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such
government or any of its agents or subjects.
1 Stat. 613, January 30, 1799, codified at 18 U.S.C. § 953 (2004).
Oh, if you are an affirmative action type it is all right?
