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:

It must be almost sexually gratifying for the libs, when they see us taking shots at our own... such as Rush. The man is not a coward.
bfl
“He isn’t a leader of any movement.”
Including the conservative movement.
I researched Rubio after the previous Rubio thread today. He was born in Floriduh.
Both parents were Cuban. I found nothing indicating they naturalized. Unless Rubio can show they became US Citizens prior to his birth he is NOT a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN, and so is ineligible for the Presidency.
“Yeah? Well, does Trump have standing? Huh? Huh? Does he? Huh? “
No! no one has standing. No one in the entire world.
Thus, a tuna fish could run for president. No one would have standing to challenge it.
“I think Rush is a coward.”
I don’t think he is generally a coward. I do think he dropped the ball on this one. In overtime, with seconds left, to win the championship, he dropped this ball. Unfortunately.
World Net Daily and Dr. Jerome Corsi have been addressing this issue for years. Corsi and Joseph Farrah have tons of evidence proving the Golfer’s illegitimacy.
Difference now is that Trump is getting press because he is a high profile figure.
This may or may not affect his presidential bid, if he throws in his hat.
But whatever the case, and maybe he will have to become the sacrificial lamb here, he is to be commended for jumping into the fray and standing up for those of us who have known the truth that Bambi has been a fraud from day one.
He may not win the war but he has a chance of winning the battle. And that is a good thing. Kudos to the Donald.
And BTW, did any of you see the look of pure disdain on Meredith and Matt’s faces the other day, post Trump interview? Why don’t you “slobbering in love with O” lefty NBC commentators tell us how you really feel?
I turned Limbaugh off when he couldn’t resist shipping all of our technology, expertise, training, and materials off to foreign manufacturers. Instead of proposing the creation of a ‘deal American industry couldn’t turn down’ right here at home, it was pander to the bottom line of American industrialism and just run for the border. The prosecution rests, your honor.
“how about if his millions of listeners do something. “
oh sorry! We don’t have “standing!”
They would have to be citizens before he was born. Interesting, this one.
I am beginning to think we are all being had. Nobody on our side wants to run. I think the GOP doesn’t particularly care if Obama gets a 2nd term as long as they get the Senate. Then in 2016, they plan on a guy like Rubio.
I am going to have to ponder that for awhile.
Trump is like the turd in their punchbowl.
He was doing a CYA. The spin didn't work for ole RUSHBO.
in all fairness it was mccain who didn’t do his job. Rush is an entertainer and commentator, it’s not his job to get people elected.
What if that is not his father? People say that Frank Marshall Davis is his real father. Was he a citizen?
“I will always think that John Roberts deliberatly botched the swearing in of Obama for the obvious reason.”
Can you elaborate?
Because Roberts knew Obama was Constitutionally ineligible without ever having to see the BC.
He should know, right? He was later convinced the Chicago way. We never did have the re swearing in on live camera.
It was SARCASM!
CYA?
Speaking of illegitimate, I was born in Dallas, Texas in 1952, and on my birth certificate there is a conspicuous item with two check boxes: LEGITIMATE YES NO. Maybe that's what's being hidden?
I agree. Like Rush said yesterday, someone has to produce some proof. Orly Taitz was once a hero with many here. Where is she now and where are all her supporters?
