FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Vice presidential Candidate filing lawsuit against Obama

Wiley S. Drake, Sr. wileydrake@hotmail.com

Vice presidential Candidate Wiley S. Drake Sr. to file in court asking to de-certify Barack Obama because he has refused to release proof of being a Natural Born Citizen, thereby disqualifying Obama in his bid for the Office of President.

The recent Lawsuit in Washington State demanding their Secretary of State to vet the citizenship credentials of Barack Obama has spawned a slew of similar suits with new lawsuits filed and/or prepared in WA, FL, NC, CO, CA, OH, FL, CT, GA, TX, MI. Related lawsuits HI, US District.

As part of this effort, this group of citizens from states across the union made an outreach to the whole presidential slate asking each candidate for president and vice president to offer up a certified copy of their birth certificates and any related candidate declarations to be placed in a library made available to the public via a non-partisan web site.

At least one VP candidate Wiley S. Drake Sr. went the next step and agreed to file a lawsuit of his own to demand the disqualification of Barack Obama unless he can prove status as a ”Natural Born Citizen” as the constitution and federal statues demand and define.

In another unrelated action, though also aimed at forcing Obama to release proof or step down, 24 potential Electoral College electors are filing action Monday morning in court also demanding proof. A call is herein being issued to any elector in any state, especially democrat electors who would like to join that effort. Electors interested in adding their name to this lawsuit can contact Mr. Marquis who will put you in contact with the attorney handling that case.

Yes, there have been “faithless electors” in the past. One in 1972, IIRC. They are not bound, as I understand it.

What’s the big deal about showing a birth certificate? Why doesn’t obama just show the damn thing already and be done with it.

That exactly what we Nam Vets said about John "The Snake" Kerry in 04

Many are convinced that if he would have released his entire military records and they in fact proved what he was asserting to be factual, it would not only have shut us up (including the Swift Boat Vets) but would have probably propelled him right into the oval office.

Thus we can assume that there was some damaging information contained therein.

Can we assume the same with The Messiah?

I think the answer to that is rhetorically, YES!!!

No, he needs to produce an official state/county issued birth certificate...the hospital issued certificate of birth has no legal meaning and is not even adequate to obtain a passport. He went to Pakistan on an Indonesian passport testifying to the fact that he was an Indonesian citizen and since he had an Indonesian citizenship he couldn’t have been an American citizen....by the way it was illegal for an American citizen to travel to Pakistan then....of course it was illegal to use cocaine also, so on many fronts we are on the verge of putting an admitted law-breaker, Marxist in the White House....say it isn’t so!

Man with all the talk of eliminating the electoral college in the past....an 0bama win essentially disqualified by the electoral college...riots! CAN WE ALL SAY RIOTS WITH BLOOD IN THE STREETS! (I think there will be sporadic either way, but something like this...it won't be the 0bama did more than lie...)

The charges won't be against 0bama and the faithless Democrat party. They are Teflon angels.

It will be institutional racism, a corrupt college, a conspiracy to keep a black man out of the office, and any other whacko thing they could think up.

So many don't understand the need for the electoral college, how it works, why it should exist, why it should continue to exist....

The electors will vote the President Elect into office under duress and undue influence. At which point since they are in violation of our election laws & Constitution. What is our recourse and do we Republicans have the guts to pursue it? Are we willing to hold the Democrat Party to account? Or will we rollover like so many times before and let the Constitution fall into the dustbin of history, that is the very real question we are faced with. Even now, today before the election, at the request of the people voting, we're asking for a fully vetted candidate on the very basics of what is required to hold the office of President.

It won't be the fact that the Democrat Party committed:

1. a fraud and

2. treason against the American people.

3. the media abetted it, when they had a responsibility to report it.

If this begins to unfold, we need to be ready to educate and help calm the nation.

We then need to be prepared to hang this around the Democrats neck as a negligent act and even high treason.

Let me also say that I remain distressed that the White House during this confirmation process, which overall went smoothly, failed to provide critical documents as part of the record that could have provided us with a better basis to make our judgment with respect to the nomination. This White House continues to stymie efforts on the part of the Senate to do its job. I hope with the next nominee who comes up for the Supreme Court that the White House recognizes that in fact it is its duty not just to the Senate but to the American people to make sure we can thoroughly and adequately evaluate the record of every single nominee who comes before us.

There are many reasons that Barack could be just trying to run the clock out.

1. Regardless of what his birth certificate says, Barack’s may be an American (which would mean that a birth in Kenya would be insignificant). This could be proved by DNA testing. Of course it would also prove Barack’s ties to Bill Ayers. After Tuesday that doesn’t matter (a proven causal link between Barack and Bill Ayers), except possibly in 2010 (mid-term elections) and/or 2012 (for his re-election).

The Democrats are going to push their agenda for higher taxes (which can be accomplished by doing “nothing” — letting the Bush tax cuts expire) — a $500 per working person refundable tax credit (which will essentially be a “welfare” check for about 48% of America who after the check will have zero or “negative” Federal Tax due). Democrats will push to get approximately 2-3 dozen million (24,000,000 to 36,000,000) under the umbrella of the federal government health insurance plan. They will accomplish this by placing hefty fines ($5,000-$10,000 per employee) on “small businesses” (which will be catergorized as having more than 10 employees). Of course this will cause many small businesses to kill existing jobs and not hire additional people. This will be Barack’s/their first step to getting us halfway to a single-payer system (what Barack has admitted he would prefer if he could start from scratch).

2. I don’t pretend to understand the Indonesian citizenship thing completely. I would not be surprised if Barry had/has two passports (an Indonesian passport and a US passport) at least until 1981 (when he was 18/19 years old). Even though Indonesia does not have dual citizenship, I would not be surprised that you could get two passports. What you should really want to see is a US Passport

Sent to Rep Biggert (IL-R-13) today:

Dear Rep Biggert:

Many in the main stream media are seeing the Barack Obama birth certificate issue and/or his citizenship as a joke, or at the very least a wild goose chase that will go nowhere.

One judge in Pennsylvania has ruled that a US citizen "has no standing" to require a presidential candidate to prove (ahead of an election) that he/she is truly qualified to serve.

Our Constitution, from what I can tell, requires that the Electoral College deem a candidate qualified to serve. If we have to wait until the Elector College step to deem Barack Obama qualified to serve, it will place our nation into a constitutional crisis the likes we have never seen.

When Barack Obama went to Hawaii to see his sick grandmother, he also had the governor seal his birth records until after the election. Why, and why was this odd request granted?

Since the court in Pennsylvania found that a US citizen "had no standing", a current Vice Presidential Candidate from the American Independent Party feels he may "have standing" since he is in competition with Barack Obama. Also, 24 Electoral College delegates will be filing some kind of protest tomorrow (per the news release below).

Please assure me that a proper challenge will be raised at the Electoral College step.

I still feel John McCain will win, but if not, we will face an historic constitutional crisis.

Good luck on the election, and you continue to have my support.

Sincerely,

S...........

What’s the big deal about showing a birth certificate? Why doesn’t obama just show the damn thing already and be done with it.

My opinion: Because he was born in Keyna, and his mother was a U.S. Citizen and his father was a citizen of Keyna, so his mother registered his birth in Hawaii. This is common. But the registration WILL SHOW the place of birth — KEYNA — and that is what Obama does not want released.

Because it does open up the discussion of Obama’s citizenship. I would bet money that in at least some of Obama’s applications (college, bar, little league, sunday school, etc.) he gives his birth place as Keyna. He may have also put in writing that he was a citizen of Indonesia on some documents. There is a copy of an Indonesian passport on the Internet. Apparently, he has an Indoneasian passport and NOT a U.S. passport.

To get a U.S. passport, one MUST show a birth certificate — hmmmmmmmm.

Mr Keyes,

The Governor did not seal the document. It was originally under seal except to a person with a vested interest as a matter of law and practice for all Hawaiians. If a request is denied the applicant has a right to petition the court.

Lawsuit hearing on November 18th, a private citizen has requested the certificate. Hawaii has checked, and reported there is a document of some kind, State officials could appeal if court finds in favor of the Andy Martin lawsuit.

If Obama were to release his actual birth certificate, I firmly think it would show that he was born in Kenya. Further, he cannot claim USA citizenship through his mother based on the laws in effect “at the time” of his birth. This matter is not that difficult to resolve once Obama provides the Supreme Court with compelling proof of his birth in the United States. He was apparently born in Kenya and due to the USA law in place “at the time” of his birth, Obama cannot qualify via his mother even though she was a citizen of the USA on his birth. If only one parent was a USA citizen at the time of birth, that parent MUST have resided in the USA for at least 10 years and at least five of which had to be AFTER the age of 16. Obama’s mother was 18 at his birth. The laws have changed over time, but the law that was in effect on the date of the child’s birth determines whether he or she acquires USA citizenship from a parent. Unless Obama produces an original, authentic birth certificate showing his birth to be in Hawaii verses Kenya, Obama will not be allowed to be sworn in as our next President. The entire Dem Presidential ticket of Obama/Biden will be disqualified. Our next President would be by “default” Senator McCain. The Dems should have stayed with Hillary! “The Rule of Law” and the United States Constitution are controlling in this legal matter. Unless Obama can prove he was physically born in Hawaii, he will NEVER become President of the United States of America! A Retired Lawyer
