Free Republic

It’s been a little while since a good confrontation between a birther and a member of Congress, but here’s one from last week: a constituent of Rep. Scott Garrett (R-N.J.) asking his congressman why Republicans won’t do anything about the “eligibility issue.” It makes for awkward viewing, as Garrett’s staff clearly wants a change of subject from an audience that seems to be fine with pushing the question. At around 4:40 in the video, the congressman finally engages. “Obviously, there is no political solution to it,” says Garrett. “Even if the entire Republican Party was united on the issue–” He’s...

Congressman running for governor calls on president to produce birth certificate. It's the question that keeps poking its head up through piles of debunking documents: Is Barack Obama eligible to be president? U.S. Rep. Nathan Deal says Obama can dispel it with a birth certificate showing he's a U.S. native and therefore qualified for the White House. Deal, a Republican running for governor in 2010, called on Obama on Tuesday to "put the matter to rest ... and provide the documentary evidence." But two independent fact-checking groups and the state of Hawaii say he already has. Their conclusion: Obama was...

(Angus Reid Global Monitor) - Three-in-ten Americans think their current head of state was not born in the United States, according to a poll by Angus Reid Strategies. 70 per cent of respondents believe Barack Obama was born in the U.S., while 30 per cent do not. While only 13 per cent of Democratic Party supporters believe Obama was not born in the U.S., the proportion rises to 25 per cent among Independents and 51 per cent among Republican Party backers. In American elections, candidates require 270 votes in the Electoral College to win the White House. In November 2008,...

Many are STILL discussing the birth issue surrounding President Obama. This apparently is not going away, anytime soon. Received this email yesterday from the United States Justice Foundation, a non-profit organization. You will read some of the arguments made before this court, by the DOJ and the USJF. ******* From The Desk Of Gary G. Kreep, United States Justice Foundation. Barack Obama is sweating it out after his Department of Justice ("DOJ") attorneys walked into court expecting United States Federal District Court Judge David Carter to dismiss the birth certificate case. Why you ask? Simply because they "think" Obama is...

Late last week, Democratic-leaning pollster Stan Greenberg released a focus group study showing that conservative GOP base voters live in an alternative universe of their own political paranoia. In this world, President Obama is ruthlessly advancing a secret agenda to ruin -- yes, ruin -- the economy so he can impose socialism upon the United States and destroy the core civil liberties of American democracy. And in this covert crusade, Obama is no more than a frontman for unseen interests aiming to annihilate the United States. This dark view was propounded by die-hard right-wingers -- older, white Republican-base voters --...

Following my article last week on whether Barack Obama deserved to get the Nobel Peace Prize, my inbox was inundated with emails from American readers seeking to know whether I have proof that Obama was really born in Kenya. If he was born in Kenya, they theorise, he is therefore not entitled to claim American citizenship and the presidency of the United States. I could not help laughing at those emails, most displaying a naivete' and lack of understanding of this sentence from last week’s article: "It seems Barack Hussein Obama, President of the United States of America (via a...

Conspiracy theories have always been a favorite of extremists in America. The Birthers are people who question Obama's birth in Hawaii and claim that he is not a United States citizen. Have we reached a tipping point in the crescendo of accusations and outrageous labels flung at President Barack Obama? Were you shocked when you heard that someone had posted a survey on Facebook asking respondents, "Should Obama be killed?" The possible answers were: "No, Maybe, Yes and Yes if he cuts my health care." We cherish freedom of speech in the United States, guaranteed by the First Amendment to...

In case you don't know, after the terror attacks of 9/11/01, there were indeed a few Americans who honestly believed that the federal government was so corrupt that it was behind and responsible for the events of September 11. Even though we all watched in shock, as hijacked planes flew into the twin towers, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field, these folks imagined that someone in Washington DC might have blown up those buildings instead. Not that our federal government isn't capable of such things, mind you... but they are not likely to pull off such a thing without anyone...

America is well known as the land of conspiracy theorists, but President Barack Obama has endured more than his share of bizarre claims since he shot to public prominence, ideas that have spread rapidly via the intertet. The accusation by Andy Williams , the singer, that the newly-elected president of the free world was at heart a communist is one of the milder charges. Here are five more: 1. Radical Muslim Throughout the campaign and during his presidency, Barack Hussein Obama has been accused of being a Muslim. These rumours were based on his name, as well as the misinformation...

Let this post be fair warning… Leo Donofrio is now interested in the birth certificate….. http://naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com/2009/09/20/lets-prove-obama-was-born-in-hawaii-so-we-can-move-onto-his-british-birth/

http://lamecherry.blogspot.com/2009/09/orly-taitz-flock-shootin.html SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2009 Orly Taitz Flock Shootin' I have not dealt a great deal with the lawyers and their cases concerning Bearick Obama, as in analysis none of them have produced anything, and none of them has proceeded in ways which would set cases to leverage the exact Obama documents sought. It is like if you wanted a date with a person who was ignoring you. You don't keep after the person who says, "NO", you instead find another person who is interested to help you make the person envious. That is why I stated that tax cases...

It follows spot-on with the divorce decree time-line ... February, 1964. Stanley A. Dunham filed for Divorce Monday, Jan. 20th, 1964.

The divisions in America run deep at this moment in history, and the heated rhetoric is “ratcheted up” by the continual efforts to silence all voices of dissent, or label all dissenters “racists” no matter how unrelated to race or valid their complaints might be. Still, when listening to millions of citizens showing up at town hall meetings and Tea Parties across the country, liberal Democrats see a bunch of racists. That’s what all leftists have been trained to see... Take columnist and Fox News contributor Juan Williams for instance: “These critics seem less interested in arguing about health care...

I will be assisting one of my readers in filing litigation in Hawaii state circuit court pursuant to her ongoing request for public information denied by Hawaii officials. (Readers of my blog will recognize her as MissTickly aka TerriK.) Correspondence sent to TerriK by Hawaii officials indicates that President Obama’s vital records have been amended and official records pertaining thereto are maintained by the state of Hawaii.

COLUMBUS, GA (WTVM) - Attorney Orly Taitz filed a brief Thursday morning in Columbus' US District Court requesting for a stay of deployment pending her client's motion for a rehearing. This comes just one day after Judge Clay Land denied Captain Connie Rhodes' temporary restraining order, dismissed the entire case and ordered Rhodes to pay the defendant's court costs. Rhodes, a military doctor, is challenging deployment orders to Iraq based on allegations that the Commander in Chief is ineligible to hold the office of president. Rhodes maintains that President Barack Obama was born in Kenya and not Hawaii. "This is...

In a story that appears to have gone largely unnoticed on this big news weekend, John Charlton of The Post And Mail reported yesterday that the New Hampshire Secretary of State – at the request of a New Hampshire State Representative – will investigate whether fraud was involved with regard to Obama’s name appearing on the ballot in New Hampshire:

Excerpts: "Before the Court is Defendants’ Ex Parte Application for Limited Stay of Discovery (the "Motion"). The Court finds the Motion to be appropriate for decision without oral argument. FED. R. CIV. P. 78; Local Rule 7-15. After considering the moving and opposing papers thereon, and for the reasons set forth below, the Court hereby GRANTS Defendants’ Motion." *** "The Court hereby GRANTS Defendants’ Ex Parte Application for Limited Stay of Discovery. All discovery herein shall be stayed pending resolution of Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss, except for any discovery as to which Plaintiffs can demonstrate, to the satisfaction of Magistrate...

And you thought birtherism was just for hillbillies and Republicans! David Weigel heard Camille Paglia on NPR yesterday, where the author of Sexual Personae and UArts professor told a no doubt astonished latte-drinking audience that "there are legitimate questions about the documentation of Obama's birth certificate. I'm sorry, I've been following this closely from the start." Indeed she has; we noticed her railing on the topic as far back as November ("simple questions about the certificate were never resolved to my satisfaction"). Now that they've got a genuine intellectual on board, the birthers just need a popular entertainer to carry...

Orly Taitz Claims She Can Have President Obama "Out Of Office In 30 Days"September 14, 2009 2:00 pm ET A few quick snippets... Judge David Carter, Central District of California, ordered early discovery; Obama has 30 days to produce his records, including his hospital, birth certificate, name of doctor, and all of the signatures.

During a hearing in U.S. District Court Monday, an attorney for an Army officer fighting deployment to Iraq questioned Barack Obama’s legal right to serve as president, asserting he was born in Kenya, not Hawaii. Judge Clay Land, inquisitive throughout the 90-minute hearing, said he will issue a decision on Capt. Connie Rhodes’ request for a temporary restraining order by noon Wednesday. Rhodes was represented by Orly Taitz, a California lawyer and a national figure in the “birther” movement that claims Obama does not meet the qualifications to be president. California attorney Orly Taitz, the president of the Defend Our...

NH SECRETARY OF STATE AGREES TO INVESTIGATE Rep. Lawrence Rappaport, and his wife (Sept. 12, 2009) — New Hampshire State Representative, Lawrence M. Rappaport payed a visit to Mr. William Gardner, the NH Secretary of State, on Thursday, Sept. 10th. His stunning request: an investigation of Barack Hussein Obama’s presence on the NH 2008 Ballot. Gardner’s stunning response: an investigation will commence. I interviewed Mr. Rappaport by email, and asked him, on what basis did he make his complaint; he responded, “The basis for all of this is possible fraud. I don’t know what penalties will be assessed if fraud...

On September 9, 2009, a subpoena was issued by the District Court of the United States, 3rd Circuit, and has been served via registered mail (#RE184168898US) on the Consulate General of Kenya in Los Angeles. The subpoena commands him to produce and permit the inspection and copying of the Certificate of Birth of Barack Hussein Obama II.

A U.S. District Court hearing to determine if a Army captain fighting deployment to Afghanistan because of the challenged the legitimacy of Barack Obama’s presidency was rescheduled for Monday. Capt. Connie Rhodes filed the complaint last week and Judge Clay Land granted an emergency hearing Friday afternoon in the Columbus federal courthouse. Rhodes, a medical doctor who was with her unit in Fort Riley, Kan., did not attend the hearing. That prompted Land to reschedule it for noon Monday. Rhodes is scheduled to arrive at Fort Benning Saturday and deploy within seven days. Rhodes’ attorney Orly Taitz — a national...

From Orly Taitz's blog: Tomorrow at 2pm hearing for Captain Connie Rhodes MD in GA September 10th, 2009 I just got word from Ms. Sweeden, clerk for District Court Judge for the Middle District of GA.

Capt Rhodes states that she is willing to go to Iraq, as long as she knows that the orders going down the chain of command are lawful orders. We asked this case to be certified as...

A commentator at Canada Free Press says he has obtained copies of two documents apparently prepared by Democrats to certify Barack Obama as their nominee for president in 2008 that suggest House Speaker Nancy Pelosi knew there was an unresolved issue with his eligibility under the U.S. Constitution. Writer JB Williams describes himself as a "no nonsense commentator on American politics, American history, and American philosophy." And he say's he's gotten possession of copies of the documents in question.

I just talked to Orly: She has 2 good news items that she is very busy with right now: 1. Judge Carter is ‘giving her expedited discovery - immediately’. 2. Judge Land will allow her to present before the court in GA. She is leaving now to fly to GA to appear before Judge Land at the Federal Building in Columbus, GA at 2:00 pm tomorrow (Friday, 9/11/09). She would like as many military supporters to be there as possible. I called Carl Swensson (RiseUpForAmerica.com), and he will see what he can do. If you have any contacts there, please...

Aware of the fact that Barack Hussein Obama does NOT meet Article II – Section I constitutional requirements for the office of President, what well-seasoned professional politician would be stupid enough to sign their name and stake their personal career upon certifying Obama as eligible?

A few weeks back, I submitted a letter on Barack Obama’s eligibility (“Raise the question,” published Aug. 23). Most of the comments from other readers reflected the opinion that I was flat wrong. Sorry to tell you folks, but a young guy has come forward and has signed a court document stating that he has obtained a copy of Barry Soetoro’s original birth certificate. He traveled to Kenya and paid a guard who was guarding this document in cash so the guard would turn a blind eye while he made a copy. This young man will be in big trouble...

BORN IN THE USA? Shocker! Judge orders trial on eligibility issue Arguments planned Jan. 11 for major Obama challenge The left cries it's a forgery but cry is all it can do. Let's see... the embossed seal os a forgery, the court stamp is a forgery, the attending Doctor's signature is a forgery, the Supervisor of Obstetics id a forgery and the recorder's signature is a forgery and nattrally the footpront won't match Barack H.

SANTA ANA, Calif. – On Sept. 8, U.S. District Court Judge David O. Carter ordered a scheduling conference for Oct. 5, 2009, allowing the Obama eligibility case filed by Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq. on behalf Captain Pamela Barnett, Alan Keyes and others to proceed.

A federal hearing has been scheduled in the case of an Army captain seeking to avoid deployment based on arguments that President Barack Obama can’t legitimately hold office. A hearing for Capt. Connie Rhodes is set for 2 p.m. Friday, court records show. Rhodes claims the president is “an illegal usurper” and “an unlawful pretender” and that she cannot lawfully act under his authority. Defendants include Obama, U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Col. Thomas MacDonald, Fort Benning garrison commander. Rhodes seeks to stop Gates, MacDonald and others from giving her and others until Obama’s citizenship status is established, her...

Americans’ who do not believe President Obama is a U.S. citizen won a huge decision in California as a judge set three court dates, one of which will require the President to prove his citizenship. The case will be heard by U.S. District Judge David Carter in Southern California, it is the first time the merits of the President’s citizenship will be argued in open court. The first obstacle the plaintiffs will have to overcome is an October 5 motion to dismiss as well as the arguments on the issue of discovery. From there the plaintiffs will have to navigate...

A California judge today tentatively scheduled a trial for Jan. 26, 2010, for a case that challenges Barack Obama's eligibility to be president based on questions over his qualifications under the requirements of the U.S. Constitution. If the case actually goes to arguments before U.S. District Judge David Carter, it will be the first time the merits of the dispute have been argued in open court, according to one of the attorneys working on the issue. In a highly anticipated hearing today before Carter, several motions were heard, including a resolution to long-standing questions about whether attorney Orly Taitz properly...

In the late 1940s and early 1950s, despite clear evidence that Sen. Joe McCarthy was a drunk and a demagogue, many people blindly followed his lead, even when he accused President Dwight Eisenhower's administration of treason. I consider Eisenhower the best president of my lifetime, and before he entered the White House, he had taken on the gigantic task of leading the Allies to victory over Germany in World War II. During that same war, McCarthy forged documents to make it appear he saw combat he never saw, and wangled a Purple Heart for a boo-boo he actually sustained when...

From AmericanGrandJury.org comes news of an affidavit has been filed with the United States District Court in Southern California represented by Orly Taitz. We all know the huge controversy swirling around our President's missing original birth certificate. No one seems to know where it is. Only official "Certificate of Live Birth" can be found.

Smoking Gun evidence, finally? We report you decide, Specially the naysayers denigrating Orly's case and stating she is the one in the court's cross hairs based wrongly on previous rejection by a Magistrate Judge Nakazato for technical reasons not the merits.

With a scheduled hearing date looming Tuesday, Lucas Smith, the man who tried to sell an alleged Barack Obama Kenyan birth certificate on eBay, has filed court papers in a high-profile eligibility case insisting – under threat of perjury – that the Obama birth certificate in his possession is the genuine article. Smith filed his affidavit through California attorney Orly Taitz, who has spearheaded several lawsuits challenging Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility to serve as president, as part of a case that includes as plaintiff former presidential candidate Alan Keyes. Taitz posted on her blog Smith's declaration, which claims he obtained...

As of today, September 4, 2009, this Affidavit has been filed with the United States District Court in Southern California ~ represented by Orly Taitz. This is a legal affidavit that declares Lucas Smith to be of sound mind and judgement. Lucas can go to jail if he lied on this affidavit. The document (Certified COPY of Obama Kenyan Birth Certificate) you see here, once it is validated by the court, is pretty much the proverbial “smoking gun.”

I'm up with relatives in the Walla Walla, WA. area and ventured over to the Walla Walla Fair and Frontier Days Parade. I've been to it before and it seemed bigger than usual this year. As the entries went by one by one, it all lead up to the grand finale' which resulted in the ultimate in patriotism. First, a group of Tea Party Patriots marched by and they received a warm response from the spectators along the parade route. Following the Patriots was the first half of the motorcycle club called the Combat Veterans of America. They too received...

Having just won a revolution, the Founders were faced with constituting a new nation. Under the constitutional plan devised by the Founders, they had to identify who were the members of the new nation. They called these members “citizens” of the United States. Thus, they created our first generation of United States “citizens.” These persons were either born abroad or in the British colonies before July 4, 1776 or abroad or in the new States thereafter, but in all cases inhabited one of the colonies or States and were loyal to the American revolution. The Founders under Article II grandfathered...

In an explosive interview by Dr. Laurie Roth on her syndicated West Coast radio show on August 7th with Douglas Hagmann — a respected journalist, director of the Northeast Intelligence Network, and longtime private investigator, and Judi McLeod, a prolific journalist and the managing editor of Canada Free Press — the reason for the media blackout about the birth-certificate issue was nothing less than organized Mafia-like dire threats to members of the media issued not only from the heads of major TV and radio stations but also from Federal Communication Commission officials! According to Hagmann and McLeod, who conducted a...

I am still under the impression that Barrack Hussein Obama hasn’t proven that he is an American citizen. His grandmother in Kenya said she was at his birth there, so I’m going to take her word because I don’t have any reason to believe she would have any reason to lie. Barrack could quickly put this question to rest unless he has something else to hide. After hearing the president’s racial comment on TV ... and his comments about the stupid police department, I realize his mental attitude. Having been nothing more than a community organizer in Chicago, you can...

Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., has decided that while President Obama's eligibility to occupy the Oval Office may not be subject to an immediate court challenge, if the president runs for a second term, he should be required to prove he is qualified. As WND reported, Franks told a townhall meeting in Kingman, Ariz., over the weekend he was considering a lawsuit to establish Obama's eligibility. The congressman's spokeswoman, Bethany Haley, said Franks did consider a lawsuit during the runup to the 2008 election and immediately after the results were announced. But she confirmed to WND today that the congressman no...
