Let’s see you come up with a winning plan.

OK --

(a) Get rid of Oily Taitz as the poster child for the birther movement. Although her heart may be in the right place, she is clearly over-matched in the courtroom, and she really does not seem to understand the litigation process.

(b) Nearly every state, if not every state, has a very specific procedure for challenging the qualifications of candidates for office at the federal, state, and local level. In most jurisdictions, the statute of limitations begins to run at or about the time the candidate's name is placed on the ballot. The time to initiate the challenge is very short to ensure that that these disputes are litigated before the election and not after the winner is sworn into office. Even the appeals process is expedited to ensure appellate review prior to the election. Why? Because elections are expensive, and public policy dictates that we resolve "qualification disputes" before the ballots are printed, the elections are held, and winner is sworn into office. Indeed, the only challenges that are allowed after the election relate to the qualifications of the voters, the conduct of the election, and the accuracy of the count.

(c) The time is now to end the legal challenges to 0bama's qualifications with respect to the 2008 election. The focus now should be on formulating a plan to timely challenge his qualifications in several key Red States as soon as his name is placed on the ballot. The law suits should be commenced in several states in the name of an opposition candidate and/or opposition party, and not some soldier that doesn't want to go to Iraq or Afghanistan. The law suit would challenge Obama's qualifications to appear on the ballot on a state-by-state basis, much the way a candidate challenges the authenticity of signatures on their opponent's nominating petition or challenges the qualifications of a candidate based upon his of her residency.

You seem to be such an expert why don’t you show us how to do it. But you won’t. You will only tell us why it can’t be done and add nothing of value.

Are you paying any attention, at all, to what Obama is doing to this country? Do you really think we will survive as a free people until the next election? This is the single issue that can save our country by ridding it of not only Obama, but all of the traitors who abetted his rise to power, in spite of the fact that HE IS NOT A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.
