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:

I was so furious at rush yesterday over this I turned him off...didn’t turn him on today either.
Rush you are a coward.
Great post.
Concise and to the point extant.

And Rush, Hawaii has never authenticated Obama’s dubious Internet COLB. In fact, Hawaii has refused to comment about Obama’s computer generated COLB.
I totally agree. The real plum is hiding in plain sight for all to see.
If we can accept an illegitimate president now, we will always have lowered the bar.
I heard that caller yesterday, she was really mad at Rush. What the media should have done is now being done by Trump. What a sad day this is for our country. (meanwhile they are probably going through Bachmann’s trash as we speak....)
That should teach him. When will Rush learn he needs to kowtow to EVERY listener's demands?
That lady gave him holy hell and I totally agree. If he and the rest of the conservative talking heads would have been on this story 1/100 at much as we Freepers have been these THREE YEARS!, this skinny illegal alien would not be smoking in and dirtying up OUR White House with this incredible gaggle of communists and muslim lovers.
Sorry, Rush. I TOTALLY AGREE WITH HER. You dropped the ball with this incredible machine you have of daily radio. No excuse!
Moreover, I believe investigationS should be done on ALL of Obama’s records he is (paying millions) to hide.

Precisely. Every one needs to keep their eye on the target but first of all, they have to know what the target is.
Maybe Trump is not under direct threat of an FCC shutdown.
Maybe the fed cannot touch Trump, because he is simply above their reach.
yeah... I think Rush has been and may still be under direct threat of license revocation if he pushes this too far.
Maybe Trump became aware of this fact directly from Rush on the golf course, and responded...
Hey Rush... Watch This!...
There is a certain truth in all of this for our side. It is hard to make a case for the Constitution when you ignore the most obvious and maybe the most serious breach of the Constitution to go unchallenged for any reason whatsoever.
It's hard to trust, or take seriously, bobble head yappers on the radio who claim to love the Constitution and our nation, yet, manage to IGNORE for almost 3 YEARS the most serious breach of the Constitution ever in the history of our nation!
There is more to this situation than most people imagine. (Keep in mind, lawyers are involved!)
To quote Factcheck.org: “As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.”
So, why would Obama feel that his birth status was governed by the British Nationality Act of 1948 rather than by the 14th Amendment to the United States of America?
If Barry’s parents were indeed married in Hawaii, that marriage would not be recognized by Great Britain because it was invalid - Obama Sr. was already married with a wife and child living in Kenya. So, as per the British Nationality Act of 1948, any subsequent children born to this bigamist marriage would be considered illegitimate and NOT British subjects.
Just to be upfront, I believe that Obama was not born in Hawaii but born in Mombassa, Kenya, in 1961; my belief is based on the presence of a missionary woman, an American, who was there and helped Stanley Ann Dunham Obama return to the U.S. after Barry’s birth.
Thank you for a copy of this letter.
The group by Dean C. Haskins is probably one of hundreds of such groups that voiced eligibility concerns to the Congress.
Congress sat on its hands during the hours in 2009 when it had a Constitutional duty to act. Such failure to act may have been based on a sincere belief that Clinton offered a greater threat to national security.
But today such belief seems almost certainly without merit.
Now is the time for the Republican House to act.
The House owes that to America.
That explanation makes sense.
