There is substantial interest in creating a film adaptation of the Terry Lakin Story, "OFFICER'S OATH."
This is a poignant, heroic story that must not be forgotten, or falsely relegated to the "conspiracy theory" chapter in the annals of our national history.
Terry knowingly sacrificed his military career, endured a court-martial, and ultimately spent nearly half a year in Leavenworth Prison simply for standing up for the Constitution he pledged to uphold and defend. His story is detailed in the book "An Officer's Oath," which is recommended reading for anybody who reveres this country and the Constitution by which we were successfully governed for so many years.
Officer's Oath tells the sometimes harrowing, sometimes inspirational true story of Doctor and 17-year U.S. Army veteran, Lt. Col. Terry Lakin, who sacrificed his distinguished military career--and his very freedom--to preserve the integrity of the United States Constitution.

And Hawaii state registrar Alvin Onaka has indirectly confirmed that Obama, instead, presented TWO forgeries (the short-form and long-form) as if they were genuine. Neither can be genuine, since Onaka indirectly confirmed that the birth record they have for Obama is legally NON-VALID.
IOW, Terry Lakin was right all along. Ibana CANNOT prove that he is qualified to act as Commander in Chief, and his orders thus ARE unlawful. It is Obama, not Lakin, who should have sat in jail - although for a LOT longer than 6 months!
Which is probably why the judge ruled that Obama’s ability to Constitutionally act as President is “irrelevant” to the lawfulness of Obama’s orders. Not whether Lakin had to obey the orders even if they were unlawful. Whether the orders are LAWFUL. She is claiming that someone not qualified by the Constitution or by the War Powers Act to give combat orders can still give lawful orders.
What a crock!
Oops. OBAMA cannot prove that he is qualified to act as CIC. (Fingers placed wrongly on the keyboard)
Sad part is that we had a lot of PhonyCon Liberals who attacked Lakin and supported Obama on the Eligibility issue.
Lakin has a lot more backbone than his critics.....many who people consider “conservative” and “Great American”. Lakin is the real Great American....not the PhonyCon liberals in the so called “conservative” media
Hope the film brings in money for Lakin and his family
He had the moral courage to stand up for what he believed. He was attacked by liberals and by so-called conservatives.
The bigger picture also needs to be told, and that is that the media personalities were threatened with the loss of their careers and the potential loss of their own lives or the lives of their family members if they reported accurately on Obama’s eligibility problem.
2008 was literally a coup, and Lt. Col Lakin was in the front line protecting and defending the US Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic. While “conservative” personalities had a gun held to their heads they made fun of Lakin, knowing all along that he was doing what his oath required.
Terry Lakin is a Christian man who strongly resembles his Lord - Christ, who also received not only whipping but mocking, spitting, and hissing from Satan and from the very people who were being saved from Satan by the sacrifices of the One they mocked.
Terry Lakin was not able to save this country, but it wasn’t because he failed to try. Though the rest of us haven’t given to the extent that he did, we have done what we could and been mocked and despised for it. The death of this country is not on our hands. One Day the truth will be known; some of us eagerly look forward to that Day.
“LTC Terry Lakin was ordered to submit 5 birth certificates when he received his order to be deployed to Afghanistan.”
Odd. I deployed there in 2007 without showing a single one...
In fact, I’ve deployed all over the world, and all it took was my military ID. And if someone asked me for my birth certificate now, they would get a computer generated one. I actually do have a paper copy somewhere from my Mom’s files, but it is over 50 years old and in poor shape.
Did Lt Col Lakin refuse his pay check from the military? Did he refuse orders to show up for work? Nope. He only refused to deploy.
He had no legal case, which is why, in the end, he pleaded “Guilty”...
This the very amazing aspect of Lakin’s case/situation. That there was no well known radio or TV or internet person taking up on what Lakin had rightfully wanted addressed is a huge mystery. To/for me something stinks about all these people who profess/act like they want Obama gone but just snipe around the edges. I suspect money is involved. I gave to Lakin’s support and am glad for it.
Off topic, I would like to ask you this Mr. Rogers. Do you believe Barack Obama is a Article 2 Section 1 Constitutional natural born Citizen?
“Do you believe Barack Obama is a Article 2 Section 1 Constitutional natural born Citizen?”
If born in the USA, yes. If not, then no. That is the law, and has been unchallenged since the Wong Kim Ark case in the late 1800s.
If someone wants to challenge him based on birth outside the US, then they need proof BEFORE starting a court case. Courts do not exist to do investigations.
Once I would have started I would have been refusing all orders: if the chain of command is broken at the top, then there is no authority in those orders. It would be like cutting the hose at the faucet, the rubber becomes empty, devoid of the water it normally carries. (There is actually a very specific case where orders would be valid: if they are directly pursuant the Constitution [ex. Art 4, Sec 4].)
You said:
‘If born in the USA, yes.’
Even though Obama Jr’s father was a British Subject?
If born in the USA, then the citizenship of his father doesn’t matter. That was the point in WKA: that citizenship comes from birth in the country, and that is both NBC & 14th Amendment at the same time.
Here is a link to the WKA decision:

Here is the argument the state used to try to convince the Supreme Court that WKA was NOT a citizen:

I can’t provide a link because I haven’t seen it electronically, but last Saturday I read the decision regarding WKA that was appealed to the Supreme Court. The lower court rejected the rather novel argument that the wrong standard of citizenship had been used for our entire history, and that the Roman idea should prevail instead.
Normally you would be correct, here you are not: you see in a military case there are stronger compulsory process/powers for the accused [that is, investigation] precisely because of the constraints imposed upon them by orders (and the consequences of acting on them when illegitimate).
It was touched on, IIRC, here.
“If born in the USA, yes. If not, then no.”
U.S. Citizenship can be lost for those born in the U.S with a U.S. citizen mother and a foreign national father.
See U.S. Supreme Court, Vance v. Terrazas, 444 U.S. 252 (1980)
Vance v. Terrazas
Appellee, who was a citizen of both the United States and Mexico at birth, subsequently obtained a certificate of Mexican citizenship after executing an application in which he swore allegiance to Mexico and expressly renounced his United States citizenship. Thereafter, the Department of State issued a certificate of loss of nationality, and the Board of Appellate Review of the Department of State affirmed. Appellee then brought suit for a declaration of his United States nationality, but the District Court concluded that the United States had proved by a preponderance of the evidence that appellee had knowingly and voluntarily taken an oath of allegiance to Mexico and renounced allegiance to the United States, thus voluntarily relinquishing United States citizenship pursuant to § 349(a)(2). The Court of Appeals reversed and remanded, holding that Congress had no power to legislate the evidentiary standard contained in § 349(c), and that the Constitution required that proof be not merely by a preponderance of the evidence, but by “clear, convincing and unequivocal evidence.”
577 F.2d 7, reversed and remanded.

...right up to the moment when he changed his plea to guilty and testified, under oath, that his orders were legal and that he had known they were legal when he disobeyed them.
Not sure I agree with the “hosts were threatened” theme.
George Noory had a number of people on his Coast to Coast show discussing Obama Eligibility. Note that Noory and Coast to Coast is owned by same company as Rush’s show. Bill Cunningham and Rusty Humphries also discussed the Birther issue. Cunningham now has his own syndicated TV talk show.....so obviously he was not harmed
The fact is that a lot of PhonyCon Liberals posing as “conservative” attacked Birthers....and gave cover to Obama. They were not forced to do so.
