Forty-one Senators signed a Senate Resolution to ask that a private citizen be censured for exercising his Constitutional right of Free Speech... to be censured for a lie they knowingly and continue to perpetuate.
What makes this document 'Historic' is the fact that they are all sworn to defend the Constitution of the United States, not seek to deprive private citizens of their Constitutional rights.
On top of this is the matter of perjury. Lying, knowingly, in an official government document about a private citizen for the sole purpose of advancing a political agenda is, to use Mr. Reid's own words, outrageous and beyond the pale.
Lying is perjury. Perjury is a crime. And forty-one Senators have publicly lied about a private citizen, and sought to defraud him of his Constitutional right to Free Speech. This is what's so historic about this document-- it is proof in writing of their crime against the Constitution and a private citizen.

For the record... Mr. May, CEO of Clear Channel Communications gave the original letter to Mr. Limbaugh who has since posted it on eBay. Proceeds from the auction will go to the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation which provides scholarships and other services to the children and families of fallen soldiers and government agents. 100% of the money they bring in goes out in scholarships and aid-- they personally eat ALL administrative costs.
Rush Limbaugh has pledged to match whatever amount the eBay auction brings in, and has challenged all forty-one Senators who signed this document to demonstrate their own respect and admiration for the United States Military by also matching the winning bid. As of this posting the high bid is $56,000. The auction ends October 19, 2007 (this Friday) at 10:00am.
