We, the undersigned, pursuant to God-ordained human liberties as established throughout time immemorial, and as recognized and codified in the founding documents of this great nation, and in accordance with the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, and the First and Fourteenth Amendments thereto, now petition the federal government of the United States of America for a Redress of the following Grievances: 1. The federal government of the United States of America has only an authority ordained by God, and a legitimate claim to govern in accord with the consent of the governed pursuant to its founding Declaration of Independence and its charter, the United States Constitution, as amended. 2. The officers of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of this government, including their appointees and delegates, have each sworn allegiance to this government and to support the United States Constitution. 3. A breach of this oath is a high crime against the Constitution, and is an unlawful destruction of the Constitution. Upon such breach, the officers in breach can no longer a legitimate right to govern. 4. Article II, Section I, Paragraph 5 of the United States Constitution requires that “No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.” 5. As of this end of this year of our Lord 2008, Senator Barack Hussein Obama, the son of a Kenyan national and British subject father, and an allegedly American mother, has failed to establish that he is a “natural born citizen” of the United States. Senator Barack Hussein Obama, being born in 1961, has failed to establish that he was born on American soil, and that he is, and only is, an American citizen. Senator Barack Hussein Obama, having been adopted as a child by his Indonesian national step-father Lolo Soetoro, has failed to establish that his legal name is now Barack Hussein Obama. 6. All members of the federal government in the legislative, executive or judicial branches of this government therefore have a duty to establish that the future President of the United States meet the qualifications required to attain the office, pursuant to Article II, Section I, paragraph 5 of the United States Constitution. 7. The failure to so establish is a high crime against the Constitution. Should Senator Barack Hussein Obama attain office, having been inaugurated to the same, each member of the United States government who has failed to exercise his duty to establish his qualifications will have committed a crime against the Constitution, and should the actions be the consensus of each such branch of government, then the undersigned now assert that the institutions in Washington, D.C. will no longer have a legitimate claim to govern.
Redress Demanded
For these reasons, we the undersigned now petition this government for a redress of grievances against the constitution, and seek the complete restoration of the rule of law in this nation pursuant to our founding documents. To this end we now make the following demand: That this nation, by and through its duly elected and appointed officers, make a factual inquiry to establish beyond a reasonable doubt that Barack Hussein Obama is 1) a citizen of the United States of America; 2) a “natural born citizen” of the United States of America as that term is defined in accordance with the required qualifications of Article II, Section I, Paragraph 5 of the United States Constitution, and 3) that Barack Hussein Obama is in fact his legal name.
“The last hope of human liberty rests on us… If we find our government in all its branches rushing headlong, like our predecessors, into the arms of monarchy, if we find them violating our dearest rights, the trial by jury, the freedom of the press, the freedom of opinion, civil or religious, or opening on our peace of mind or personal safety the sluices of terrorism, if we see them raising standing armies, when the absence of all other danger points to these as the sole objects on which they are employed, then indeed let us withdraw and call the nation to its tents.” Thomas Jefferson, March 28, 1811.

Thank you, Hanen. This issue is too important to ignore! BUMP
Welcome to Free Republic yada yada yada.
Your link to your source - what is that?
Yup. Disqualify a newbie. Don’t matter the message of the post. Sounds like a Rat that eats the paper facts are on.
Killing the messinger don’t kill the message dude.
Welcome to FR! Glad to see more people on board with concerns about Constitutional Preservation.
Obama must have skipped “show and tell” in school so he could share his peanut butter sandwich.
Mr Obama.....PAPERS PLEASE!
Excellent.

Welcome to FR
Welcome to Free Republic, and I’ll be looking for the link to your Youtube video reading this aloud....
So, you have a nicely worded petition, what do you think you are going to do with it?? I can write a well-worded subpoena, but that doesn’t make it a legal document, and it’s worthless if I don’t use it.
Just because you had an attorney help you draft it doesn’t necessarily make this a good idea. Do you intend to personally lead a nation-wide campaign and start collecting signatures on your lovely petition???
Have you ever attempted anything like this before??
Do you have any references??
How many signatures do you need??
Do you intend to gather signatures in more than one State??
Are you personally familiar with the petitioning rules in all 50 States??
What is your budget and may I see a copy of your business plan for pursuing this??
Have you already set up a 501c3 or are you using a different entity??
Sorry for all of the inconvenient questions here n00b, but without a plan, personal dedication on your part, and an incredible amount of follow through, this petition don’t mean shiite. For all I know you’ll be running a thread over at DU making fun of all us stoopid Freepers for falling for this nonsense...
Nothing to see here....moving on...
You and your attorney can stand on line at the SCOTUS and wait for them to review your case, laugh and thank you for wasting their time.
There is no message "Dude". There are rules here, that people should read!!
Slowly but surely this crap is destroying any creditability posters have here.
What a shining example of conservative patriotism you are.
The new guy shows up with a concept to confront the evil that is threatening to undermine our founding governing document, and all you can do is knock him.
What the hell is the matter with you? Just what are YOU doing to fight this transgression against the Constitution?
Yes, why don't you just MoveOn?
Did anyone ask you at least I’m not sitting on my ass watching Oprah like most stuffing my face with choclates and getting dumbed down by the government. You can say what you want about me no one asked you to read the petition or to do it the ones who care know what has to be done. For those of you who don’t don’t be complaining later because the rest of us will be laughing at you.
Well done, Hanen. Welcome to Free Republic.
What I respect about what you’re doing, is that you have the courage to at least attempt to demand that our government exercise the bare minimum diligence in this issue.
At least you are willing to fight back, and for that, you have my thanks and respect.
Pay no attention to the naysayers, here or elsewhere. Many of them are hard at work for the enemy of the people. Others would rather we tiptoe quietly, and pray that the new Overlord doesn’t notice us.
You keep doing what you’re doing, and please keep us all updated on where you’re taking this project.
Is that right? The SOB has never addressed the issue of his birth certificate. That's enough for at least a bit of suspicion. What the hell is your problem?
I swear, somebody must be paying you for your unrelenting and tireless efforts to stop anyone from talking about this issue. Who's paying you, Truman?
What rules are those? That newbies not post vanities? That went by the wayside as trolls posted before the election. Perhaps we need a clarification as to the "rules."
Do they only apply to posts you don't condone?
