12 Washington voters sue to set aside the election of Barack Obama in Washington
The Commentary ^ | 12/10/08 | Stephen Pidgeon, Attorney at Law

Posted on 12/10/2008 3:05:19 PM PST by BP2

Bellevue, WA (released Dec. 10, 2008) — On December 4, 2008, James (Jim) Broe and 11 other Washington voters sued Secretary of State Sam Reed in the Washington Supreme Court, seeking a Writ of Mandamus to require the Secretary to set aside the votes cast for Senator Barack Obama. The Petition charges that at the time of the election, Senator Obama had failed to establish that he was a “natural born citizen” of the United States as required by the U.S. Constitution, failed to establish that he was an American citizen, and that he was not running under his legal name of Barry Soetoro.

The Petition as amended claims that because Senator Obama’s father was not an American, but a British citizen at the time of the Senator’s birth, the Senator was disqualified him from being a “natural born citizen” as that term is understood under U.S. laws of nationality.

The plaintiffs argue that his British citizenship at birth also disqualifies him from being considered an American citizen automatically under the Fourteenth Amendment, because of competing jurisdictional interests between the Crown and the United States.

Plaintiffs have also argued that Senator Obama failed to establish by any evidence that he was actually born in Hawaii, or that he was naturalized as an American citizen.

Because Senator Obama was adopted by his mother’s second husband Lolo Soetoro, plaintiffs allege that his legal name is Barry Soetoro, and the suit alleges that Senator Obama has failed to establish by any evidence that his name was legally changed back to his birth name.

Stephen Pidgeon, counsel for Plaintiffs, has called out the Secretary of State, saying “the Secretary of State is the chief election officer for all federal and state elections under 29A.04.230, and he has an obligation to run state elections in respect of federal law. This means if the candidate for President is unqualified, he has no business being placed on Washington ballots by the Secretary of State.”

Pidgeon goes on to say that “each candidate that stands in a primary election must make a declaration of candidacy, stating that ‘at the time of filing this declaration, I am legally qualified to assume office if elected.’ The Secretary of State has a constitutionally imposed duty to enforce this qualification.”

More of those crazy, tin-foil-hat wearing Obama-haters filing suit.

In hearing Pidgeon on PlainsRadio a couple of nights ago, I like his approach. Several counts to help force the issue of Birth CertificATE disclosure. Slightly different approach that Leo's and Cort's, so taking aim from many different angles.

Please ping accordingly!

So how many Sec of States are crapping themselves right now because they know they didn’t vet him? And praying this man really WAS born in Hawaii.

Pidgeon has an advantage over Cort and Leo in the state of WA allows citizens to sue over this.

This is after that BS governor election where the Republican guy got ripped off and robbed.

Leo was really excited about Steve Pidgeon chances because Calero was thrown off the ballot in WA in 2004 or 2008. Leo was not sure which election. Leo told Steve to find out for sure from the Sec of State.

Leo told Steve if he has that then Steve’s case should be golden. The negative is WA Supreme Court is supposedly more corrupt than NJ/FL which is pretty bad.

Have we ever had a presidential candidate who had multiple aliases? Obama, Soetero, Dunham, Barry, Barrack, Hussein, Mohammed. I think there is a fourth last name too.

NOTE:I did not say President because (as Leo said re Yogi Berra) “it ain’t over til it’s over.”

Do state or federal electoral rules allow for individual electors to ask their state’s EC board to “not submit” the state’s vote to Congress on Dec 15 until “questions” are answered? I know it might be a moot point if all of the Blue states submit their vote without question and 270 is reached, but can Congress not be able to “certify” the entire EC vote if only 49 states & DC have submitted their vote? In essense, a kind of filibuster...

Good question but I do not know. I am hopeing Steve Pidgeon wins in WA because he has a strong case. I would like to see O kicked off the ballot in WA then fall like dominoes in other states.

The MSM obviously didn’t engineer the Blago/Rezko/Obozo scandel, but I’m sure many of them are happy to shift focus from the BC issue and focus the media’s eye on someone else. Time will tell if there’s a direct connect to BO or MO

Guys and Gals - what is your take on yesterday morning?

I think there is two possibilities:

1. Blago was a sacrifical lamb. Obama and Emmanuel threw him to Fitz. Nothing happens to Obama - he skates. The MSM spin now is IL/Chicago/Blago are corrupt but Obama is so pure. (gag).

2. Fitzpatrick is one of the last honest people in govt and he will go flat out, get Blago or Rezko to talk and indict Obama before Jan 20. I really doubt this will happen.

Good news. I really enjoyed listening to Leo and Steve the other night. I get the impression that Steve may have an ace up his sleeve. Leo was really psyched about Steve’s case. Leo and Gary Kreep were like oil and water. Leo was a riot when he said to Steve “check this out.”

Leo said Steve had to find out if it was 2004 or 2008 when Roger calero got tossed off the WA state ballot.

http://www.ballot-access.org/2008/110108.html

It looks like Calero was not on the ballot in WA State in 2008 election and he had a stand in named James Harris.

Calero was on the ballot in Delaware, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, and Vermont. I guess those states never checked or did not care that Calero was ineligble.

The WA case has the most standing of all of them due to the state law being changed after Gregoire stole the Governor’s election. Steve said it was in 2004 that Calero was through off but the case is strong enough even without that.

Orly had said on Plains that the Keyes case was tentatively schedule for Dec. 11 in CA Superior Court. Will have to find out tomorrow if that is what happened.
It will be interesting to see if Justice Kennedy denies the application from the Lightfoot case that Orly is handling. It should be there by now.

Darrel Hunter’s case from TX got caught up in the anthrax testing delay but it should be docketed soon. Not sure why Chris Strunk’s case wasn’t docketed yet.

I don’t have any faith in the Kentucky case. Any word on the new Schnell case in PA Supreme Court?

No word on Schell - I am not sure what they are doing. The guy in KY ran against McConnel in the primary.

I think if Kennedy denies Lightfoot they should go to Alito.

Steve’s case looks very strong but I wonder about the WA Supreme Court. Asumming they deny it - he would be off to SCOTUS. Based on the WA state law - it looks like Steve should be golden. I am not sure what SCOTUS would do?

The NC case, Sullivan v. Marshall, deemed weak by most commentary I've seen, contains now-discredited claims about the Hawaii Certificate Of Live Birth. How many others have been compromised thusly? I know Berg was.

You know what is BS about Calero - the guy runs for office and he is not eleigble and he gets a green card - seems like running would be a fraud and he should be deported. I heard he also had some other legal issues yet he still gets a green card. What a joke.

What also surprised me was Keyes was on the presidential
ballot in Delaware yet in the election results
( http://elections.delaware.gov/results/html/election.shtml )
Keyes is never mentioned.
Even if Dr. Keyes got “0” votes his name should be there with a vote count.

Yet Calero is on there.

The Sullivan case is very weak and now he is stuck in procedural problems in the NC courts. It may be months before he is heard. Same with Tom Terry in Georgia and Brockhausen in TX. Most of the Peoplepassions group didn’t have attorneys to help them. Cort is the only one who made it from that group.

FWIW, Someone said on another thread that Berg’s assistant, Lisa Liberti, said that his case is scheduled for conference on Friday and it wasn’t made public. I mean the petition for writ, not the 2 stay applications that were denied by Souter.

Calero was convicted of felony sale of marijuana in 1988. In December 2002, immigration police arrested Calero upon his return to the United States at the Houston International Airport from reporting assignments at a conference held in Havana, Cuba, protesting the Free Trade Area of the Americas. He was threatened with deportation in 2002 as a result of his previous conviction in 1988.[3]

The SWP considered the conviction to have been a political attack and launched a huge campaign in defense of Calero, mobilizing the party’s members and supporters in the U.S. and all over the world. The U.S. government released Calero in 2003 and cancelled the deportation.[4] The same year, Calero went on an international tour, visiting not only the major cities in the US, but also Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Sweden and Iceland to greet his supporters.

‘No word on Schell - I am not sure what they are doing.’

I saw a post tonite in the Plains Radio message forum from ‘Fairflight’ who said she is from the DD group. She is asking everyone to fax to Gov. Perry in Texas to ask him to submit a Writ of Mandamus to SCOTUS defining what exactly is their definition of a natural born citizen before Dec. 15.

BUT HEY!

If you look at the bottom of any Hawaiian "CertificATION of Live Birth", you’ll find the following:

"This copy is prima facie evidence of the fact of birth in any court proceeding. [HRS 338-13(b), 338-19]"

That should be good enough for the US Supreme Court, the US Congress, all of the state Electoral College Delegates and the American people, RIGHT?!

Here is some info I posted earlier.

I have personal knowledge on Same Reed, Gregoire, and the members of the WA SC that would be very helpful to anyone going after these people who refuse to do their job. I can proof they are all racketeers. I can be contacted via FReepmail.

RCW 43.07.030 - General duties.

The secretary of state shall:
(1) Keep a register of and attest the official acts of the governor;

(2) Affix the state seal, with his attestation, to commissions, pardons, and other public instruments to which the signature of the governor is required, and also attestations and authentications of certificates and other documents properly issued by the secretary;

(6) Certify to the legislature the election returns for all officers required by the Constitution to be so certified, and certify to the governor the names of all other persons who have received at any election the highest number of votes for any office the incumbent of which is to be commissioned by the governor;

RCW 43.310 The secretary of state, through the division of elections, is responsible for the following duties, as prescribed by Title 29A RCW:

4) The administration, canvassing, and certification of the presidential primary, state primaries, and state general elections;

RCW 29A.20.161 - Certificate of nomination — Requisites.

A certificate evidencing nominations made at a convention must:

(1) Be in writing;
(2) Contain the name of each person nominated, his or her residence, and the office for which he or she is named, and if the nomination is for the offices of president and vice president of the United States, a sworn statement from both nominees giving their consent to the nomination; RCW 29A.20.021 - Qualifications for filing, appearance on ballot.

(1) A person filing a declaration of candidacy for an office shall, at the time of filing, be a registered voter and possess the qualifications specified by law for persons who may be elected to the office.

As one can see from just these few statutes, Sam Reed is lying.

But Frantzie,

Are you saying that Obama may have some knowledge of the Blago affair?

Are you saying that when the FBI heralds, “If [Illinois] isn't the most corrupt state in the United States, it's certainly one hell of a competitor,” Obama may actually have some serious skeletons in his closet with Blago?

Are you saying that during the FIVE years Blago’s been under surveillance by the FBI, Obama might have interacted with him on a possibly criminal level?

Are you saying Obama’s sweating bullets, wondering if the FBI has the technical ability to retrieve all of those Blackberry text messages he's sent during the last several months?

Come on...

BP2 I hope the FBI and Fitz have the guts to take this little crook down. Fitz is running out of time. I have no faith in our govt anymore. None. Maybe Fitz and SCOTUS will reaffirm my faith but I think we are becoming or are as corrupt as Chicago and Kenya.

When you read the transcripts it looks like it is all Blago and that Obama was not dealing. Maybe Fitz has it in him but he has less than a month until he loses his job or O is home free.

I’d think a studied non-answer would be all I’d get, given the pending litigation. Note that, in spite of the public mockery, they do clam up, so it’s not as if they all regard this as a joke.

I was hoping there was some sort of written document, a PDF online, that sort of thing. Better get it quick.

I was scouring various archived sites of the Washington SOS website. I THINK I remember Calero on a proposed ballot in early spring. I’ll post it here if I can find it.

Incidentally, yesterday I came across Biden’s tax records from 2007 & 1999, and some other interesting “Barack docs” on an archived campaign web mirror from early 2008. It’s rather amazing what unskilled campaign workers will scan to a server and forget to erase later...

I’m also looking for an archived version of a “Birth Certificate” link I found on a UK genealogy site that pointed to my.barackobama.net (that now auto-forwards to fightthesmears). Not sure what I’ll find but I’ll be sure to share if it’s of interest.
