| | Censure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Censure is a congressional procedure for reprimanding the President of the United States or a member of Congress for inappropriate behaviour. | | | Unlike impeachment, censure has no basis in the constitution, or in the rules of the Senate and House of Representatives. | | | The rest of this article discusses political censure in the United States of America, but the practice is not limited to this entity alone. |

| | Legislative District 11 Latest to Censure McCain |
| | The censure language cites numerous grievances with Arizona’s Republican senior senator and states that the presidential hopeful has “repeatedly sought to weaken Republican strength by siding with liberals to lead the attack on Republican initiatives.” | | | He allied with liberal Democrat Senator Ted Kennedy to introduce another immigration amnesty program for illegal aliens thus ignoring the cries of the vast majority of resident from his own State of Arizona to take strong action to stop the invasion of the United States. | | | We further state that only under extremely extraordinary circumstances will we support the candidacy of John McCain for President of the United States. |

Until then, don't forget to wear your seatbelts, folks. |
