Hall of Shame
A letter received from Senator Barbara Mikulski of Maryland
regarding Barack Obama’s eligibility issues:
“Thank you for getting in touch with me. It’s nice to hear from you.
I appreciate knowing of your concern over a rumor that President-elect Obama is ineligible to serve as President because he is not a U.S. citizen.
The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution states that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.” Since President-elect Obama was born in Hawaii two years after it was admitted as the 50th state, he is a natural-born citizen. He has released a copy of his birth certificate and it has been authenticated by experts. Following Obama’s overwhelming and undisputed victory in the recent election, the Supreme Court has considered challenges to his citizenship and dismissed them as being without merit.
Thanks again for contacting me. Please do not hesitate to let me know if I can be of assistance to you again in the future.
Sincerely,
Barbara A. Mikulski
United States Senator”
With this letter we have a whole new level of stupidity, ignorance
and/or political bias. There are five distinct parts to this letter
that are wrong:
1. “rumor that President-elect Obama is ineligible”
This is no rumor, it is a fact.
2. “Since President-elect Obama was born in Hawaii two years after
it was admitted as the 50th state, he is a natural-born citizen.”
Being born in Hawaii does not make Obama a natural born citizen.
3. “He has released a copy of his birth certificate”
He has not released a copy of his birth certificate!!!
Pay attention! He put up a highly suspect COLB on his site.
Learn more about Hawaii statutes below.
4. “it has been authenticated by experts”
You can’t authenticate what you do not have access to.
5. “the Supreme Court has considered challenges to his citizenship
and dismissed them as being without merit.”
The Supreme Court has dismissed none of the eligibility based
lawsuits on not having merit. Berg’s lawsuit is still before the
Supreme Court.
It is intuitively obvious why the approval rating of Congress is
approaching single digits and why so little good comes from it.
Senator Mikulski, you are ill informed on many important aspects of
the 2008 election and Barack Obama’s eligibility. If you have any
questions or comments please respond. A non answer will be the same as
an answer.
What you have stated is an embarassment to the entire country. If you
really care about this country, learn the facts and apologize for
your statements. Please respond with your questions and comments.
What Hawaii Health Official really said
From the Alan Keyes lawsuit
“A press release was issued on October 31, 2008, by the Hawaii Department
of Health by its Director, Dr. Chiyome Fukino. Dr. Fukino said that she
had “personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of
Health has Senator Obama’s original birth certificate on record in
accordance with state policies and procedures.” That statement failed to
resolve any of the questions being raised by litigation and press accounts.
Being “on record” could mean either that its contents are in the computer
database of the department or there is an actual “vault” original.”
“Further, the report does not say whether the birth certificate in the
“record” is a Certificate of Live Birth or a Certificate of Hawaiian Birth.
In Hawaii, a Certificate of Live Birth resulting from hospital documentation,
including a signature of an attending physician, is different from a
Certificate of Hawaiian Birth. For births prior to 1972, a Certificate of
Hawaiian Birth was the result of the uncorroborated testimony of one witness
and was not generated by a hospital. Such a Certificate could be obtained up
to one year from the date of the child’s birth. For that reason, its value
as prima facie evidence is limited and could be overcome if any of the
allegations of substantial evidence of birth outside Hawaii can be obtained.
The vault (long Version) birth certificate, per Hawaiian Statute 883.176
allows the birth in another State or another country to be registered in
Hawaii. Box 7C of the vault Certificate of Live Birth contains a question,
whether the birth was in Hawaii or another State or Country. Therefore,
the only way to verify the exact location of birth is to review a certified
copy or the original vault Certificate of Live Birth and compare the name of
the hospital and the name and the signature of the doctor against the
birthing records on file at the hospital noted on the Certificate of the
Live Birth.”
Citizen WElls 
It is shameful that so many of persons who purport to be “leaders” are willing to play for time and political cover behind the Democrats to allow our Nation to be robbed of its legal authority while writing response letters which set forth such an unbelieveable combination of ignorance and arrogance.
These people who are betraying our Nation do not deserve our respect, as they have clearly betrayed our trust, they only deserve our contempt and our votes to make them jobless at the end of their terms.
Maybe there should be a meeting at the Capitol Building on Jan 8 of those who are able to lend voice to the injustice which is being perpetrated, peacefully of course, so that the Senators and Congressmen who are so willing to neuter the Constitution will know that they ultimately cannot hide from the light of Truth.
“When You’re in Rome…”
Since we are dealing with a corrupt and criminal individual, we should consider strategies of such.
The South.
Go for it.
However, if you want to make them squirm, help get these articles
in front of enough people and call the congressional offices.
By the way, I just posted another analysis of the fake COLB.
CW… I’ll be emailing these out. Don’t think i have the time or resources to start the website i mentioned. It would be hilarious though 🙂
Be sure to include Jim Imhoffes response (don’t forget to rip it apart and correct it for him) i posted on one of these blog topics a few weeks back too. He’s from Oklahoma. I’ll be sure he sees himself in the Hall of Shame 🙂
Wow! Came across this website because I have a google alert for “college access” and somehow this popped up! Need to be a little more descriptive for my alerts . Anyways, couldn’t help but comment that Obama’s certicate is real and that has been proven by both both factcheck.org and snopes.com ( both non-partisan).
ChrisMcc.
Do you really believe the fake COLB is real?
Remember, this is not a birth certificate.
Factcheck.org is hardly non-partisan.
Snopes has lost all credibility on this one.
Try listening to real experts next time.

Isn’t it amazing how much ignorance is still out there? I can’t believe this person still thinks this.
CW: I am so very impressed with your patience in getting the REAL INFO out to everyone. Even the Congresspeople and Senators WHO SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE for their lack of knowledge and research on this very important subject. You hang in there and keep up the good work. Your continuing work, along with all the other good citizens (and patriots) who have the knowledge and wherewithall to continue working to get the word out deserve all the credit when the drip, drip, drip finally turns into a deluge and eventual panic by all the stupidity our trusted politicians have exhibited.
The more I read the more I think our representatives are not just ignorant–they are just plain stupid. They quote the Constitution, but they just don’t get it. No wonder the country is in the mess it is in.
ChrisMcc-if you were looking for college access, I certainly hope you learn how to spell and a little grammar before you take the SAT or ACT. You should also read more sites so you know the BC is a fake and Obama is a fraud.
Please post this, pass it on to many other folks, blogs, media, etc., – … and ask them to pass it on to many others too!
I’ve HAD it !!! Too many of the folks that we elected to represent us and support our issues just aren’t doing very much for us (we, the people)..
Because some of the folks in Congress and the Senate just don’t seem to “get it” or have been mesmerized for the past couple of years, I just had to write my U.S. Senator (and I sent a copy to my Congressman).
If any folks out there are really feeling discouraged, – … now’s the time ( before Jan 8th, 2009) to send E-Mails and letters (they work best) to your assigned Senators and Congressional Representatives.
Feel free to take my issues, expand on them, or use your own. It would be good if some letters got in some newspapers. It might be best if you didn’t send just a “cut and paste” of the letter that I wrote.
Sent to Senator Milulski on Dec 21st, 2008 …
Dear Senator Mikulski:
You recently replied to a constituent of yours who is a friend of mine. Below is an extract from your reply to him, which showed some apparent errors, distortions, and/or incorrect facts. Please read your reply to my friend and then my comments which will follow.
Your reply:
Thank you for getting in touch with me. It’s nice to hear from you.
I appreciate knowing of your concern over a rumor that President-elect Obama is ineligible to serve as President because he is not a U.S. citizen.
The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution states that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.” Since President-elect Obama was born in Hawaii two years after it was admitted as the 50th state, he is a natural-born citizen. He has released a copy of his birth certificate and it has been authenticated by experts. Following Obama’s overwhelming and undisputed victory in the recent election, the Supreme Court has considered challenges to his citizenship and dismissed them as being without merit.
My comments:
You wrote, in part, “your concern over a rumor that President-elect Obama is ineligible to serve as President because he is not a U.S. citizen”….
It shows as rather strange, when you, as a U.S. Senator, do not seem to understand the difference between an ordinary U.S. citizen and one who is a ‘natural born citizen’ of the United States (as is required for a person to serve as President of the U.S ).
Facts:
1. Mr. Obama isn’t really the ‘President-Elect’ until after the Congress might certify such, on Jan 8th of next year. And, there is no such thing as ‘The office of the President-Elect’ !!!
2. It’s not a rumor that Obama is ineligible. His father (per Mr. Obama’s own admission) was a native of Kenya and a British subject in Aug of 1961. So was Barack Obama! Note: Barack Obama Sr. was NOT a U.S. citizen.
3. It doesn’t matter where Barack Obama Jr. was born in Aug of 1961; due to his father NOT being a US citizen, – … Barack Obama Jr. was not a ‘natural born citizen’ of the United States of America!!!
4. By the way, – … the Supreme Court didn’t dismiss all of the challenges. They only denied the requests for ‘stays’ of the elections !!! Further, there are many other challenges in several states and in U.S. courts.
5. Barack Obama has NOT released his original or a valid and certified true (vault) copy of his birth certificate. The only thing that Barack Obama Jr. has released is a copy of a certification , which is a very questionable and inadequate digital image (it is not a certificate) and it has been reviewed by many who have said that it is a forged or phony item. Many people in the world are aware that Hawaii will issue a ‘certificate’ of birth to persons not born there.
Why has Barack Obama had three teams of attorneys devoted to NOT release his original birth certificate? If Barack Obama doesn’t have something to hide; – … he sure gives the appearances of such by not releasing it.
Based on the very apparent facts, the recent election of Barack Obama Jr. is not yet completed ; and it is indeed disputed due to his not being verified to be a natural born citizen, as required by our Constitution.
As a U.S. Senator of the state of Maryland it is your primary duty to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.
Accordingly, I request that you personally ensure to verify Barack Obama’s eligibility to serve as President of the United States of America, and especially that he is, indeed, a natural born citizen of these United States.
In doing such, please ensure that he is not just a citizen, nor a ‘native born’ citizen; – but, that he is truly a ‘natural born citizen’ as fully intended by the framers of our Constitution at the time of it’s writing, as the primary matter is one of devoted allegiance to our country, – and our country alone.
Please note that the framers of our Constitution changed the requirement to be a natural born citizen to help ensure allegiance. Also, please note that a ‘natural born citizen’ of our country has both parents who are
citizens of the U.S., which is not the same as a ‘native born’ citizen of our country. Note the difference.
I request that your offices do an in-depth and searching investigation to ensure that Barack Obama Jr. is indeed a ‘natural born citizen’ (not just a native citizen) and to pass the results to you by Jan 8th, 2009.
The Key Issue:
If Barack Obama has not been verified to be a ‘natural born citizen’ of our United States by Jan 8th, 2009; then you must put loyalty to your country and the Constitution before your party and other considerations, and, as part of your sworn duties, you must personally vote to challenge his eligibility, and you must also cause your fellow members of the U.S. Senate and Congress to do likewise.
I trust that you will uphold your sworn duties to our Constitution properly. I and many thousands of other Americans will be watching next month and after.
Sincerely,
Bob R.

My response:
Senator Mikulski,
It is not a rumor, there are many lawsuits at both the state and federal level.
The Second Amendment to the Constitution specifically states as a requirement, “natural born citizen” for president and vice president. This is different than a naturalized citizen. President-elect Obama was born to a father who was a citizen of the United Kingdom. He is NOT a natural born citizen.
His birth certificate on his website has been proven to be false and even if it was a legitimate certificate, that particular kind of certificate is one in which a person born outside the US could obtain. What is being requested is the long form where it states the doctor who delivered him and the hospital where he was born.
The Supreme Court has NOT reviewed the merits of the cases and have NOT dismissed the cases. They denied the requests to stay the election.
Please do not insult me with the math, overwhelming? Of the eligible voting public in the US: 26% voted for Obama, 27% voted for somebody else. McCain got 24%. 47% did not vote.
I understand you are a democrat and want to see a democrat in the white house. (By the way I voted for you.) However, you took an oath to uphold the Constitution. Your letter to me is filled with false information. The only thing I saw factual in your letter was that Hawaii became the 50th state. I seriously hope that you review the facts and do your duty.
Very Respectfully,
XXX

Also let them know they are in the Hall of Shame, before the entire world.

Dear Senator Mikulski,
Thank you for the courtesy of your recent reply.
While the 14th amendment does establish citizenship, it does not address the additional Constitutional requirement that candidates for the position of President and Vice President must be natural born.
To date, a long form certificate of birth for Mr. Obama has not been made available and the short form certificate of birth, published on several of the candidate’s web sites, has been identified by several experts as having been altered and not genuine. Additionally, there has been testimony from several seemingly credible sources, including his grandmother, that Mr. Obama was born in Kenya and not Hawaii.
You mention that experts have authenticated the validity of the document presented.
Have you personally had the opportunity to review the specific birth document presented, and the credentials of the experts that are alleged to have authenticated the document in question? Recognizing the importance of upholding the Constitution and the importance of the Nation’s highest office, are you in a position to personally assure your constituents that said documentation is in order?
It should be noted that there are still a number of legal challenges, in the above referenced matter, being reviewed by the Supreme Court. The fact that the Court has rejected hearing several of the cases does not mean they were dismissed as being without merit
Very truly,
