Only list I found of people in the US convicted of treason:
"United States
John Brown, convicted of treason against the state of Virginia
Iva Toguri D'Aquino, who is frequently identified with "Tokyo Rose." Subsequently pardoned by President Ford.
Governor Thomas Dorr 1844, convicted of treason against the state of Rhode Island; see Dorr Rebellion
Mildred Gillars, "Axis Sally"
Hans Max Haupt, convicted of treason and sentenced to life in prison for aiding his son who was a spy for Germany during the Second World War
Tomoya Kawakita, sentenced to death for treason, but eventually pardoned by President Kennedy and deported to Japan
Martin James Monti, USAAF pilot, convicted of treason for defecting to the Waffen SS in 1944. "
I agree with Norm: Kerry should be on this list.

To overthrow our own government is a legal act defined and granted by the Declaration of Independence.
How can that be considered treason?

Planning to overthrow the government is treason. The only way to do it legally is through national elections and exercising your right to vote (if you are legally allowed to).

Just saying so doesn't make it so. But you can bet the FBI would investigate. If they determine there is nothing to it that would end it. If, on the other hand, they found validity than arrests would be made, people charged and tried etc.

Kerry is in the Hall of Heroes in Ho Chi Minh city, and he is a famous war hero, senator, and one time presidential candidate. So, no.

You can plan all you want. But when you take action that's when they can take you into custody.
