An Open Letter to Donald Trump and Rush Limbaugh
Dear Mr. Trump and Mr. Limbaugh: I am addressing you both because I believe the two of you are most integral to getting this controversy properly resolved; and, yes, Rush, I concur with the caller who reminded you of your shirking this issue when it really mattered most. I was the chairman of a now-defunct national organization that existed in 2008-09 that attempted to bring this fraud to the forefront (yes, we were the original “birthers”). We had members across the country send emails, certified letters, and make telephone calls—first, to the electoral college members, then to the members of Congress, and ultimately to every sitting state governor. Additionally, we tirelessly tried to get the conservative media on board with us; but it seemed a veil of evil was keeping our efforts from reaching the synapses of the collective brain of those whom we normally trust to think logically and in defense of our country and its Constitution.
Before continuing, please allow me to offer a hearty “Bravo” to you, Mr. Trump, for finally shedding some well-deserved light on this constitutionally grave issue.
That being said, and with the understanding that you are both highly intelligent men, please allow me to proffer an opinion about how you could unquestioningly even the odds of the truth's prevailing. Obama is also a very intelligent man, and I believe he has orchestrated this SHELL GAME to his vast benefit. He continues to convince the doltish masses that the “pea” is his birth certificate, and has spent large sums to promulgate that deception. But, what happens if that possibly-fake pea is uncovered, and shows nothing nefarious about his place of birth? Since he controls whether or not that document is ever seen, he can continue the game ad infinitum—for he is master of the game's outcome. Moreover, by doing so, he misdirects the focus off the very thing that irrevocably ends the game.
I agree with you, Mr. Trump, that the birth certificate likely contains information Obama wants to keep hidden; however, if there's anything I have learned in life, it is that the term “likely” denotes lack of certainty. It is most unfortunate that Obama has been able to keep this issue in the arena of uncertainty, when there is another argument to be made that is a sure bet (and is precisely where this conman has been so crafty by keeping everyone asking about the birth certificate).
There are three constitutional qualifications to be president: to be at least 35 years of age, to have resided here for at least 14 years, and to be a natural born citizen. The Obama camp has wagered well that the majority of Americans simply do not know what the term “natural born citizen” means. There is actually a wealth of delineating information available, but to keep this communication succinct, historically, the definition is this: one who is born on our soil to two citizen parents. That definition can be found in Emmerich de Vattel's “Law of Nations,” which was the blueprint the framers used to craft our Constitution, and was the commonly understood definition at the time of framing. The fact that the term was used at all, along with the grandfather clause the framers used to eliminate that requirement for themselves, is enough for any logical thinker to understand their intent.
Barack Obama, Sr. was never a citizen of our country, which, at the time of Barack, Jr.'s birth, made him forever ineligible to hold the office of president (apart from a constitutional amendment changing the requirement). That half of the eligibility discussion is what Obama has been able to keep from public scrutiny with his masterful use of smoke and mirrors.
Yes, we DO need to see the birth certificate, but I believe we probably won't. And, what happens if we see it and it becomes a Geraldo Rivera/Al Capone fiasco? Who will look like a stooge then?
The issue, at this point, is not whether or not Obama is a U.S. Citizen, but that he is NOT a natural born citizen according to the historic definition of the term—because his father was not a U.S. Citizen when junior was born. Case settled and closed.
So, I humbly implore both of you to defend the Constitution of our great nation by revealing to the public at large that Obama may, or may not, fulfill the requirement for half of the natural born citizen mandate, but that he unequivocally does not fulfill the requirement for the other half, and therefore, is ineligible to hold the office of president.
Thank you for your time.

P.S. I produced some YouTube videos for that organization I chaired that our elected officials and the conservative media ignored:

Stopped reading there.
Cheers to Donald Trump for focusing on this very important issue. It still stings that O was voted into the highest office of the land (one way or the other) with absolutely no valid qualfication! Unfortunately our courts have been so stacked so far to the left that attempts to have this case heard have fallen on deaf jucicial ears.
Mr. Trump also has clear vision on foreign and domestic afairs, accocrding to what he has said so far. I say Go Donald!
utter fools utter foolishness
I will always think that John Roberts deliberatly botched the swearing in of Obama for the obvious reason.
I can think of maybe two reasons the GOP wants to give Obama a pass now and gave him a pass then.
Reason 1- they think they can win and avoid a crisis of being called racists and irritating some blacks. I have my doubts.
Reason 2- They have a person like maybe Rubio in mind down the road who may not meet the natural born citizen status. A person who is a NWO pick. Notice today Rubio was out telling Trump to drop it. Rubio is a Bush “heart”.
Right, he isn't brave like FReepers posting online comments under fictitious names.
Rush was the very first out of the box to take on Obama and he came under assault from the left. People have short memories. I don't buy the coward talk crap.
born June 14, 1946 in Queens, New York, NY (Meets the Jus Soli Requirement)
Parents were
Frederick Christ Trump, born October 11, 1905 in Queens, NY, died June 1999 in Queens, NY
Mary Ann MacLeod, born May 10, 1912 in SCOTLAND, died August 7, 2000 in Queens, NY. Arrived in US October 5, 1935. Married January 1936. Naturalized as a US Citizen March 10, 1942.
Both parents were US Citizens at the time of his birth (Meets the Jus Sanguinis Requirement)
Donald Trump is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN unlike Comrade Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama.
I think Rush is a coward.
Rush truly did not do his job in the last presidential election, he was much to busy playing games with Hitlary.
You're absolutely right! I want to see the whole truth come out and justice prevail. However, I don't demand someone else take up the issue. Rush has a radio show whose goal is to attract an audience and sell advertising. I wonder how active and involved those who criticize Rush are in exposing Obama? My guess, it mostly boils down to nitpicking and complaining on a daily basis.
I am not angry at Rush. He has tweaked this issue.
If you really want to get angry, be angry at the people in government who have allowed a person not eligible to destroy the country for almost 3 years.
They still lack the courage to expose or else they have been complicit in the fraud.

See my post #32.
“Rush truly did not do his job in the last presidential election, he was much too busy plaing games with Hitlary”.
I agree Dustbunny. Think: Operation Chaos. I can’t even get Good Will to take my tee shirt. :-)
What job is that? He's a radio talk show host commenting on the issues of the day from a conservative viewpoint. He isn't a leader of any movement. People make a mistake when they assign things to him that aren't real.
I listen to Rush because he informs and inspires me. Instead of expecting one man to do everything, how about if his millions of listeners do something.
“what happens if that possibly-fake pea is uncovered, and shows nothing nefarious about his place of birth?”
THAT is why nobody in the media on either side wanted to even be caught looking at the issue. The stakes are very high: you flub it, and you’re done - either politically or metabolically.
How anybody could watch Barry in action over the last three years and imagine he’s intelligent is beyond me. What has he ever done to indicate above average smarts? All his school records are sealed; Ayers wrote Dreams, and AA plus the race card earned Barry all his ‘achievements’. Take him off teleprompter and he stumbles around like a verbal drunk. He has the kind of sly, underhanded cunning any reasonably successful con artist possesses, and that’s it. [I’m agreeing wholeheartedly with your assessment, btw, in case that isn’t clear.]
