Speaker Pelosi,

During President Obama's September 9, 2009 address to a joint session of Congress, Representative Joe Wilson, who represents South Carolina's 2nd district, shouted "You lie!" after President Obama refuted the claim that his health care plan would provide coverage for illegal immigrants.

It is within the power of the House to hold Mr. Wilson accountable for his actions. Article I, Section 5 of the United States Constitution states that "Each House may punish its Members for disorderly Behavior."

Please tell Mr. Wilson that heckling the President of the United States in the chamber of the House of Representatives is disrespectful and will not be tolerated. We call on you to employ your constitutional power to punish Mr. Wilson and censure him at once.

Tell Mr. Wilson that such offhand insults to the President of the United States are uncalled for.

    • As a former member of the military he should be stripped of all benefits of said service, he has disgraced the nation and insulted the Commander and Chief of ALL Armed Services and does NOT belong on the Armed services Commitee

    • Rep. Joe Wilson showed very poor judgement with his rude and disrespectful behavior during the president's speech. There are more mature ways to respond to someone you disagree with. Joe Wilson's display was less than adolescent behavior.

    • Based on his disrespectful behavior I would prefer he be expelled from Congress, but I suppose being censured is more merciful, which is more than he would ever give to the nation.

    • I've had all I can stand of the fear-mongering, sour grapes from the GOP. The young people of today want tolerance, positive voices, progressive understanding eminating out of washington.

    • I think it's improper in this day and age for a man elected as his people's voice to then accuse his boss of something as serious as lying on an unfounded assumption. Censure him, definitely.

    • Joe Wilson just said, "I won't be muzzled". Fine. Let him shoot his mouth off at home. That Chamber belongs to the people of the United States and you are our entrusted stewart. Unmuzzle him to the private sector. The nation Elected the President not Wilson. Do your job.

    • This behavior is completely disrespectful and should not be whitewashed with a non-descript, insincere 'apology'. If there are no consquences, this won't be the last time this occurs.
