“It would be hi-freakin-larious if after all this time, after all the manipulations and evasions by the Obamunist camp, that Barry Soetoro is disqualified from becoming President because he ran under a false name, and under false pretenses.”

The problem is, anyone can change their name simply by consistently using a different name, so long as this is not done for a fraudulent purpose: “The federal courts have overwhelmingly ruled that changing one’s name at will, by common law, is clearly one’s constitutional right. Nonetheless, one may still choose to have a court issued name change.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_change

Thus, the fact that Berg is raising this bogus claim raises doubts in my mind about whether his other legal claims are legitimately established or just populist talking points that sound good but lack validity.

Are you talking about the “open and notorious” name change stuff?

Also, “In California the usage method (changing it at will under common law) is sufficient to change one’s name. Although it is federal law to allow this, it is not followed in all states.”

I suppose which states’ statutes would Obama have had to follow, and would that apply to other states he’d moved to is what we need to find out.

Considering the extent that Barry Soetoro, or Barack Obama, or Barry Dunham, or whatever-the-Hell-his-name-is, has gone to in order to conceal the details of his birth, his schooling, his upbringing, etc., nobody can seriously suggest that he changed his name for innocent purposes.

As far as Berg is concerned, at least he’s trying to do something about this. Anyone can be a critic, but it takes somebody like Berg to actually step up to the plate, and he’s doing that.

Someone I am close to changed his name and in order to do so legally, at least in CA about 14 years ago, he had to fill out a specific corm, have it notarized, and use that form to change his name on every usage like driver’s license and every other legal document except passport (he had to wait 5 yrs for that), PLUS put a very specific announcement in a newspapr for IIRC four times. That was the easy method. THe other method involved a court and a lawyer.

It was called the useage method, and it did involve certain procedures.

Orly Tavitz has, from what I have read, learned that 0bama did not list any additional names when he applied for his lawyer license (whatever the correct terminology is). That is a specific question when applying for such a license.
