Thank you for passing these links to me. Every bit of information is helpful. I was wondering if you would be interested in joining in on an attempt to write a one paragraph, very convincing summary of this eligibility issue. Something that could be spoken easily to your average guy on the street.
Many feel it is time to put debate to the back burner and start a new phase of full out action. Many hands make light work. Would you like to join in?
Hi again, Daisy. I am still very pressed for time, so this will be short. I will plan to write more tomorrow if need be.
I just want to say that when talking to average joes—i.e.: people who haven’t already set their minds in concrete, and are open to the discussion—*how* you approach the issue is more important than the bullet points. Iow, the goal is to persuade, and so the method is as important as the content.
The best way to put people at their ease and open their minds to your point is to ask a question. Most people love to be queried. It gives them a chance to talk, and indicates that you care what they think and are willing to listen.
The best opener I can think of is, ‘What’s your theory on why Obama has spent millions to conceal his birth certificate?’
The question is nonthreatening, but also interesting. Most people don’t know he’s spent millions—and quite a few don’t even know his BC is a deep dark secret. They may ask how you know these things. Have a citation handy, so you come across as well informed and reliable.
If they’re not forthcoming at that point, juice it up a bit. Say something like, ‘My guess is there is something on the BC that he really, *really* needs to hide’.
Since you offer this as a ‘guess’, you’re still not in their face; you’re still not perceived as a hard-line proselytizer. In fact, you’re inviting them to add their best guess to this intriguing mystery: what IS he hiding???
I really don’t have the time to elaborate, but that’s the basic gist. Lead people to speculate. Lead eventually, if possible, to the idea that Obama Sr. may not be the dad on the BC. That will really make them wonder. What IS on it??? Explain that if Sr. is on it, Obama is not a NBC. So the BC must cite the name of an American father. If you get my drift?
The idea is that by the time you’re done, they know Obama is spending Big Bucks to hide something. If all goes according to plan, they will even be wondering who the real dad is. Win, win, win.
Or so it seems to me. I have ideas about calling Boehner & crew also, but I have a ton of other stuff to do, so that’s it for now. Best on your project—may it succeed beyond your wildest dreams.
Another approach might be warranted. Why not turn it all around and have someone define the issue for you. It may cause them pause and start researching the issue a bit deeper.
1) What is a “Natural Born Citizen”?
2) What is a “Native Born Citizen”?
3) What is a “Naturalized Citizen”?
4) Why is the term NBC specifically used in the Constitution only for 2 offices which control 1/3 of the co-equal branches of government?
Original Intent: You could ask someone to tell you what their belief is of the original intent of the Founder’s relating to the highest elected offices in the land was. Was it for a citizen with divided loyalties (allegiances to multiple powers) or sole loyalty to the United States?
