FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
12 Washington voters sue to set aside the election of Barack Obama in Washington.
Bellevue, WA, December 10, 2008 The Washington Supreme Court has set a date for the case Broe v. Reed, to be heard en banc on January 8, 2009.
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, because at the time of the election, Senator Obama had failed to establish that he was a natural born citizen of the United States, failed to establish that he was an American citizen, and that he was not running under his legal name of Barry Soetoro.
Summary Of Arguments
December 10, 2008
Broe v. Reed Washington State Supreme Court Cause No. 8-2-473-8
Standing
According to Blacks Law Dictionary, standing to sue means that the party has sufficient stake that the party is sufficiently affected - in an otherwise justiciable controversy to obtain judicial resolution of that controversy. Standing is satisfied if the plaintiff has a legally protectable and tangible interest at stake in the litigation.
Many of the cases challenging Sen. Obamas citizenship status have been dismissed for lack of standing.
Plaintiffs in Broe v. Reed claim standing pursuant to the authorization given them by the legislature of Washington in RCW 29A.68.020(2). This statute creates standing for Plaintiffs to challenge the election of a candidate who has been elected but was ineligible at the time of his election to run for the office.
The duties of Washingtons Secretary of State
The Secretary of State is declared, under RCW 29A.04.230 to be the chief election officer for all federal, state, county, city, town and district elections. The Secretary of State is required by law to . . . coordinate those state election activities required by federal law. Read more
Excellent!
Citizens should at least have the opportunity to fight or their rights.
Lawsuits from now on... keep ‘em coming!
This may be the best case of all. They also have precedent where Claero was thrown off the ballot in WA state.

Better. Closer. Hope it works. Targeting the people that didn’t do their jobs or those that still have a job to do, especially if there is a precedent for the desired result, is a far better plan than trying to ‘reinterpret’ the COTUS.
It’s such a burden, wouldn’t want to be punished with it.

Ping.
What do you always say? We’re going to pry the truth out of that Marxist hands...
It will be too late. The electors will vote on Monday
You haven't been paying attention. Donofrio alleged that the New Jersey Secretary of State failed to do her job; Wrotnowski alleges that his Connecticut Secretary of State failed similarly.
The chief advantage of this suit is the issue of standing. Washington State statute clearly confers standing.
And, furthermore, Washington State removed Roger Calero from the 2008 ballot due to ineligibility, while allowing two other candidates with unanswered or inadequately answered questions regarding citizenship status, onto the same ballot.
There is a valid legal issue, and plaintiff has standing.
The Obama electors would be invalidated because of fraud, which is the opinion of this lawyer heading this lawsuit. It’s been mine too for sometime now, so the time frame doesn’t matter as much.
Obamabortion?
Finally, a suit that is EXTREMELY well formed, succinct, no rambling, just clear exposition of each one of Obama’s several legal obstacles. THIS is the one to watch, folks. Anyone know anything about the quality of Washington’s Supreme Court?
