The election may be over, but not the controversy.
Just when you thought the flap over the genuineness of Barack Obama's birth certificate was all said and done, in comes the We The People Foundation.
The group purchases a full-page ad in The Chicago Tribune - the newspaper of the president-elect's hometown - today and Wednesday, called "Open Letter to Mr. Obama." It's described by the foundation as a "formal Petition for a Redress (Remedy) for the alleged violation of the 'natural born citizen' clause of the Constitution of the United States of America."

"Mr. Obama is respectfully requested to direct the Hawaiian officials to provide access to his original birth certificate on December 5-7 by our team of forensic scientists, and to provide additional documentary evidence establishing his citizenship status prior to our Washington, D.C. press conference on December 8," the foundation says. PolitiFact has said it has no reason to doubt the authenticity of the document.
Among other complaints, the foundation charges:

The nation USA is not a nation of LAW, but one ruled by princes..Kings of media. This will be a TEST to see who now RULES.
Is this the reason for the facial *TIC*?
Either that or he caught something from his tryst with Larry Sinclair.
Nobody goes to this much trouble to hide something unless it would incriminate, or embarass them...nobody.
Nah...He is a professional liar. The tic was from having to bend over for Nancy P and make Hitlery the SecState today.
Parasites cause TICS.
Agreed. Innocent people don’t spend $1 million to avoid showing a $12 birth certificate.
Good place to run an ad.
AOL is usually very liberal. I have been surprised at their relative fairness over the past month or so.
“The election may be over..” Oh no it is not. AOL and O need to learn the names of attorneys and Jutsices Donofrio, Vieira, Alito, Scalia, Thomas, Roberts and maybe Kennedy.
From Mr. Edwin Vieira’s column posted today. He has a BS, MS, JD and PhD from Harvard and 30 years in Constitutional law. Any law Obama signs will be void. Any criminal defendant in any case where O signed a law will be able to demand his birth certificate and have forensic expert determine if Obama is a fraud.
“Mr. Vieira explained although legal standing is difficult to get around in Federal courts, the document could be produced in any criminal cases stemming from legislation passed in the Obama administration.”
“Let’s assume that an Obama administration passes some of these controversial pieces of legislation he has been promising to go for, like the FOCA (Freedom of Choice) Act,” said Mr. Vieira. “I would assume that some of those surely will have some severe civil or criminal penalties attached to them for violation. You are now the criminal defendant under this statute, which was passed by an Obama Congress and signed by President Obama. Your defense is that is not a statute because Mr. Obama is not the president. You now have a right and I have never heard this challenged, to subpoena in a criminal case, anyone who has relevant evidence relating to your defenses. And you can subpoena them duces tecum, meaning ‘you shall bring with you the documents.’ “
Such a criminal defense would enable the defendant to subpoena any person to testify in court and any person to bring evidence in their possession to the court.
Further, records could be subpoenaed directly, in the case of a birth certificate. Once the record could be subpoenaed, the birth certificate could be examined by forensic experts, who would then be able to testify to the document’s veracity as expert witnesses. Any movement by the judges to make a special exception to the president in a criminal case would hurt the legitimacy of that presidential administration.
“I can’t believe I’m the only lawyer who would think of this,” said Mr. Vieira. “I think any criminal lawyer defending against one of these politically charged statutes is going to come up with this. That means it will never go away until that document is laid down on the table and people say, ‘yes, there it is.’ And therefore they’re caught. If people keep challenging this and the judges out of fear keep saying ‘no, go to jail, go to jail, go to jail’ then that’s the end of the Obama administration’s legitimacy. On the other hand if they open the file and it’s not there, then that’s really the end of the administration’s legitimacy.”
Ever consider that he his doing it to simply wind his opponents up? Simply laughing at all those trying to prove he is not entitled to be President? I expect the last laugh will be with Obama when someone finally gets through the legal loops to view the certificate.
This is good but what about TODAY being the day that Obama has to put up or shut up for Berg’s case or was it Martin’s?
It’s December 1!
The election is over...what do we have to lose?
Besides, this is costing him money.
"The Hawaii Dept of Health won't confirm Obama's assertion that you were born in Hawaii (the director of Hawaii's Department of Health on Oct. 31 personally verified that the health department holds Obama's original birth certificate.)"
I still want to see it. (as do millions of others)
“A Kentucky truck driver last week filed a demand that Obama prove he is a natural-born U.S. citizen. Daniel John Essek, 47, wants the former Illinois senator to provide a copy of his birth certificate to a federal judge in London for verification.”
