Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

When courts-martial presiding authority Col. Denise Lind issued a ruling that blocked Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin's constitutional right to provide a defense by denying him a right to discovery and evidence supporting his decision to refuse what he believed to be illegal orders, thousands of fellow military veterans unified in Lakin's defense.
The Veterans Council of the The United States Patriots Union, led by respected retired officers like Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely and Col. Harry Riley, and Sgt. Timothy Harrington issued White Paper #1 on September 3, 2010. It recommended a slightly different defense strategy for Lt. Col. Lakin that focused solely upon the historic term natural-born citizen as a constitutional requirement for the office of president. The report called upon the Lakin defense to drop the search for a birth certificate (native-born) and focus on the bloodline of the father (natural-born) issues already known.
When the Lakin defense team rebuffed calls from USPU Veterans to alter defense strategy, the Veterans Council issued White Paper #2 on September 10, 2010. It delved deeper into concerns over the anti-constitutional precedents being established in the Lakin case and reinforced calls upon the Lakin defense team to change strategies, offering to bring expert UCMJ and criminal counsel to the table on behalf of Lakin.
The second white paper also established the proper interpretation of the term natural-born citizen – “that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country."
White Paper #2 connected Vattel's Law of Nations to the Constitution by way of its mention in Article 1, Section 8, Item 10 of the US Constitution, leaving Obama nowhere to run on the subject.
Still, the Lakin defense team stayed the course, despite growing pressure to drop the birth certificate search and provide Lakin with the correct defense. The USPU Veterans Council responded by issuing White Paper #3 on September 27, calling upon Republicans in congress busy campaigning on the Pledge to return America to honor, economic, and judicial sanity.
The document represents a change in tactics for the Veterans Council. It focuses on congressional candidates and media darlings spewing rhetoric about standing with our soldiers, calling upon these folks to take a real stand where it really counts, demanding the LTC Lakin get a complete and fair trial, including his right to discover and present mitigating evidence in his own defense.
Officers in the Veterans Council stayed the course on legal advice, which has been well vetted by constitutional lawyers, constitutional scholars, retired judges, and former JAG attorneys. They were forced, however, to alter tactics by the Lakin defense team, which was still refusing to shift defense strategy.
The Lakin defense team's decision to stay the course received another blow a day later. "We got absolutely slammed today," said Paul R. Jensen, lead counsel for the defense. "It's impossible for us to have a fair trial under these rulings."
This is exactly what the USPU Veterans Council had tried to advise the Lakin team against in three white papers. So long as the team stays the course in search of a “native-born” birth certificate, they have no defense and they have been told so twice now by presiding authority Col. Lind.
As the USPU White Papers were circulating to other law offices and defense teams, on September 30, Attorney Mario Apuzzo filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari filed with the U.S. Supreme Court for Kerchner et al vs. Obama/Congress/Pelosi et al Lawsuit, which bases its arguments upon the facts established in the USPU White Papers.
The US Supreme Court is the proper venue for the filing as the only court with authority to rule and act on issues concerning a sitting president.
One way or another, the Veterans at the United States Patriots Union are determined to force a legal decision on the most vital question in America today – Does our Constitution stand in full force and effect or not!
Focused on the facts, unified in action, determined to make a real difference, the Veterans Council of The United States Patriots Union is proving that honorable Americans do have the power to alter the course of history. They do so by placing the issue of Barack Obama's ineligibility to serve as president and commander-in-chief front and center in the Lakin court-martial and the US Supreme Court all at the same time by way of three independently researched, written, vetted, and released white papers, all in less than a month.
The Veterans Council is now calling upon the signers of the Pledge to America, Tea Party congressional candidates, and TV talking heads to get behind Lakin in demanding he receive a full, fair trial. Further, the Veterans Council calls upon the members of the US Supreme Court to hear the facts established in the Apuzzo case immediately.
They also call upon fellow veterans and citizen patriots to join them at US Patriots Union to focus on the facts and unify in real and tangible strategies aimed at returning our runaway government to the American patriots.
The Founding Fathers gave us the right and the tools to defend freedom and liberty peacefully via our founding documents. Returning those documents to proper status as the supreme law of this land begins with upholding Article II of the US Constitution.
If Article II no longer stands, then no part of the Constitution stands today and that is unacceptable to the Veterans and members of the US Patriots Union. “If the final dismantling of our founding principles and values are unacceptable to you, JOIN US!” says Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely.
JOIN US NOW! Make a real difference!
Let’s hope this goes forward with tons of support!
Except, that you have to prove who his real father actually was, which may open the door to access to his long form birth certificate.
thanks for the ping...
NOT the B.C., but the NBC issue!!
And foremost our CONSTITUTION!!!
Hard to picture the DOJ and Holder's "Benedict Arnolds" brigade here would support or be members of USPU???
The US Supreme Court is the proper venue for the filing as the only court with authority to rule and act on issues concerning a sitting president.
After new congress and new Speaker are in place, it will be heard. IMO the judiciary are molding this case. They didn't want to hear the BC, but the fathers citizenship. It is as Justice Thomas noted an evasive case. Who are the defendands listed in this one?
Praying for success and protection of those in the search for truth, for Ltc Lakin’s awareness and judgment, and the vital preservation of the Constitution and our blessed nation .. Ping!

“We hereby call upon ALL signers of the Pledge to America to take a stand for justice in the Lakin case. The American people should not trust the people making this pledge to uphold any part of that pledge if they will not stand and be counted with LTC Lakin and the Veterans Council of the Patriots Union right here, right now!
We call for immediate phone and fax calls to go out to the following list of signers on the Pledge to America – demanding that they immediately take a stand for LTC Lakin.
*list of contact info at link below*
In addition, we hereby call upon
Sarah Palin, Sharron Angle, Pat Toomey, Christine
O’Donnell, Marco Rubio, Michele Bachmann, Glenn Beck, Sean
Hannity, Bill O’ Reilly, Megan Kelly, Ron Paul, Rand Paul,
Dick Armey and ALL of the public figures who claim to
be “behind the soldiers” and“for the US Constitution,” to
take a stand here and now for both LTC Lakin and his right
to a real defense complete with discovery, as well as the
national future of constitutional law.
If these members of congress, candidates for congress and public figures fail to stand up with Lakin and the nation now, then all of their promises of a brighter future are exposed as nothing more than campaign rhetoric.
We are convinced that Barack Hussein Obama cannot be a“natural-born citizen” of the United States and therefore, currently holds the office of Commander-in-Chief illegally. On this basis, the Veterans Council of the U.S. Patriots Union stands with Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely in his open call for the immediate resignation of the entire Barack Hussein
Obama administration, in which Maj. Gen. Vallely stated the following;
“A civil uprising is brewing. We now must call for the immediate resignation of Barry Soetoro (AKA President Barack Hussein Obama) ….. based on Incompetence, Deceit, Fraud, Corruption, Dishonesty and Violation of the US Oath of Office and the Constitution. -
And a call for a National Petition for new elections to select the next President of the United States of America must be initiated.
We can wait no longer for a traditional change of Power and New Government.”
We call upon ALL veterans and veteran families to stand with us in The Veterans Council of the United States Patriots Union.
Patriotic citizens have been asking where their veterans
are and what they can do to alter the course of history in
a nation under siege.
The veterans are at The Veterans Council and we are ready and willing to take a serious stand on behalf of LTC Lakin and all other soldiers and veterans, their families and patriotic citizens willing to stand with us.
We want to know where the pro-constitution patriots are.
Unify with us immediately! The Veterans Council of the United States Patriots Union
ADDITIONAL STRATEGY INFORMATION WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE VETERANS COUNCIL INSIDE THE U.S. PATRIOTS UNION FOLLOWING THE PUBLIC RELEASE OF THIS STATEMENT.

I can't believe anyone who is serious about this man's defense would make such a stupid argument.
"The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all ,children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners."If the supreme court doesn't validate the common law definition - and common law definitions are used to define most terms of law used in the Constitution - they may have effectively amended the Constitution.
One of the better explanations of why the Obot misdirection claiming natural born subjects were equivalent to natural born citizens is that for the British there is no way for a natural born subject to become king or queen, while being a natural born citizen is the only path to the presidency of the United States. The British apply 'jus sanguinis' to select kings and queens - inheritance. So too do the Americans, except that the inheritance required to be come president is the inheritance of allegiance to our Constitution - citizenship
We have become a government of men and not of laws, but it is not to late to repair that. Every representative save Nathan Deal has avoided his or her constitutional oath to obey and defend it. That is a violation of our legal foundation. Perhaps legislators felt that the havoc Obama would bring would result in major gains for the Republican party? Perhaps so, but they have all still broken their sworn oaths to the Constitution.
Dr. Lakin has made a mess of his legal defense. That was obvious from the avoidance of the constitutional violation on Lakin's web site. Either he was deceived by his legal team or is himself a ploy to warn others in the military of the futility of obeying their sworn oaths to obey and protect the Constitution. The Kerchner/Apuzzo suit is the best formed, and has been submitted to the supreme court. We'll see if the court regards the ideas of the founders and framers the law, or if they, like Cas Sunstein, Larry Tribe, Elena Kagen (who saved Tribe's job at Harvard after he was caught plagiarizing), and Sotomayor, feel it is theirs to interpret or construct as will. It wouldn't be the first time, but may be leading us close the the last time the Constitution has meaning.
Without a constitution there is no agreement on civilian control of the military. The court might want to think over the ramifications of further weakening The Constitution. A well armed militia fighting to restore its Constitution could be a good deal messier than Acorn and union thugs attacking banking officials, burning churches, and disrupting free speech.
May the truth of this fraud slop onto Pelosi and Reid. Everyone involved in perpetrating this fraud upon the American people must be tried and prosecuted for their treason against their country. That means everyone in this Congress and this Regime that hid the truth from the American people.
“What if Obummer’s birth certificate shows that Frank Marshall was the father?”
Well in that case, Obama would be defrauding the American people with false information about his true identity, would’nt he? In fact wrote a whole book about it, yes?
Or in Barrys case tell the staged and vetted crowd “it took a long time to end slavery.”
Most clearly agree— Mr.Lakin is yet in the first stage of what he will be put through. I suspect he will necessarily have to be discharged and even then years of wandering before
he can hope for justice. Much like Michael G.New still waits
for the Constitutional issue to be resolved.
I am not confident America will see another civil war— we have been drawn to the edge under Clinton and pulled back.
Wisely so I believe.
Bump
What bothers me is the SCOTUS majority. IMO the Court has at times past chosen to protect the status quo rather than defend the Constitution-most clearly seen in the defense of the fraud perpetrated by Harrys abortion.
So?...Why was Rush Limbaugh left off this list?. Limbaugh treats Obama's eligibility as a **JOKE**!!!
sfl
Thank you, I have been saying the same thing for two years now.
He (Obama) has been hiding the important FACT in plain sight. Figures were too stupid and ignorant to see. You inherit your name, titles, lands and sovereign allegiance from your FATHER. Many other countries see it the same way, an example is germany.
Thanks again
Thanks for the ping LucyT. Appreciate it.
