Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and
domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same;
that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation
or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge
the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”

 

US Constitution

Hall of Shame

A letter received from Senator John Cornyn of Texas
regarding Barack Obama’s eligibility issues:

“Thank you for contacting me regarding President-elect Barack Obama.
 I appreciate having the benefit of your comments on this matter.

As you know, on January 20, 2009, Barack Obama will be sworn in as
the forty-fourth President of the United States of America. As we
enter the 111th Congress, our nation faces many challenges. We are
in the midst of tough economic times, and the federal government
must stand on the side of taxpayers and small businesses. Now more
than ever, we need fiscal discipline in Washington. I welcome
President-elect Obama’s commitment to reform the federal budget
process and rein in wasteful government spending, and I will hold
the President-elect accountable as Congress works to quickly identify
and eliminate inefficient, ineffective, and outdated federal programs.

Families across Texas and the nation are forced to make tough
financial decisions each day—the federal government should

be no different. But year after year too many government programs
are funded because there are small—but vocal—special interest groups
backing them with little Congressional oversight to determine when
ideas have run their course. The American people have a right to know
how their hard earned dollars are being spent, and I will continue to
support making our government more transparent, accountable, and
efficient.

While strengthening the economy must remain a priority, we must also
find bipartisan solutions to address other critical issues facing our
nation while continuing to advance conservative principles such as
limited government, lower taxes, family values, and fighting against
those who seek to destroy the American way of life. The consequences
of continued inaction are too great. It is imperative that Congress
act quickly to secure our borders, reform our country’s immigration
laws, modernize healthcare, and promote energy independence. You may
be certain that I will continue to pursue conservative initiatives
that reinforce the principles upon which our country was founded
while holding the new Administration accountable to the American
people.

I appreciate having the opportunity to represent the interests of
Texans in the United States Senate. Thank you for taking the time
to contact me.

Sincerely,

JOHN CORNYN
United States Senator”

This is obviously a form letter.

However, consider the following statements:

“As you know, on January 20, 2009, Barack Obama will be sworn
in as the forty-fourth President of the United States of America.”

“I will hold the President-elect accountable”

“I will continue to support making our government more
transparent, accountable, and efficient.”

“while holding the new Administration accountable to
the American people.”

Senator Cornyn has been confronted by serious concerns about
the eligibility of Barack Obama. He responds with what is most
certainly a form letter. However, the word accountable is used
three times above. Does this mean that Senator Cornyn will
step up to the plate and “support and defend the Constitution
of the United States” as he swore on his senate oath? Or were
these just empty, political words. Let’s find out.

Why Obama is not eligible

  1. Citizen,
    I received my letter from my congressmen…do you want a copy?

  2. Catherine.
    Yes, thanks.

  3. After reading Sen. Cornyn’s return letter,
    I did not think that he really addressed
    the specific concerns of the original letter,
    i.e. Obama’s questioned eligibility to be POTUS.
    The Senator “danced” around in what appeared
    to be a pat form letter. I would not count on
    his standing up for the challenge. Wish he
    had responded strongly with determination to take the action that is required in the joint Congressional session , but I don’t
    think his letter expressed that direction.

  4. i received a letter from Arlen Spector. about 2 months ago…. defl a form letter.

  5. In Palin We Trust's avatar In Palin We Trust

    Hmmm. Looks exactly like the response Mr. Cornyn sent me.

  6. What we need to say is this: We will hold YOU accountable if we find you refused to uphold the Constitution. The only way any of these guys will do anything is if they think their own hides are in peril. To heck with the people. It’s all about them.

    It’s kind of like one of the old Indian tribes. They spanked all the children if just one did wrong and this was to be an incentive for all the children to encourage each other to do right things. I think it might be time for a mass spanking. What do you think?

    Please try to encourage all republican congress persons that do not risk losing thier seats, to go all out with this and try to save our country. If just a hand full of you reject this guy, we may be able to stir up enough support to open an investigation and ask VP Cheny to stand up and not allow this guy in office. I think Cheny can object and stop this obambi dude dead in his tracks.

  8. Hey, Larry.
    I’m in Austin (TX) and I got the very same letter from Cornyn. I had hoped he would at least respond to my questions (our questions) about the Obama-farce, but, NO, he has not yet done so. Last time i talked to Cornyn, which was a few years back, he told me that he felf he had not yet found his voice in Washington. I wonder just when it is that he will finally find it?
    Hmm.
    Hey, have been missing you, It’s been an extremely busy holiday season, and I hope it’s over. At that point, I will have more time to check in with you.
    Congrats on the book,

    Here is the letter I received from Jay Inslee

    Dear XYZ:
    Thank you for contacting me about claims about President-Elect Obama’s status as a natural-born citizen, as required for admittance to U.S. Presidential office by the Constitution. As always, I appreciate hearing from you.

    As you know, President-Elect Obama has indeed provided his actual paper Certification of Live Birth to several media organizations, as well as the Annenberg Foundation’s non-partisan “Factcheck.org” website and the conservative news website World Net Daily, which reported that a “WND investigation into Obama’s birth certificate utilizing forgery experts also found the document to be authentic.” In fact, all of these groups have recognized that the President Elect’s actual birth certificate document is real and genuine. Furthermore, the director of Hawaii’s Department of Health confirmed on Oct. 31 that Obama was born in Honolulu and that he is therefore eligible to hold the office of President. I hope you will join with me and honor the position of next President of the United States just as we have honored the current one.

    I applaud your interest in federal issues and will be sure to keep your thoughts in mind as we move through the legislative process. It is great that we have people in this country who are so actively engaged in helping make public policy.

    Please keep in touch.

    Very truly yours,

    JAY INSLEE

    Keep on keeping on. Thanks to people like you , it will be possible to break through that brittle glass barrier that tries to hides what this country stands for…THE RULE OF LAW!

  11. Remeber when you were young and thought your parents knew everything and then as you got older you realized they are just human and make mistakes?

    Remember when you thought your doctors and dentists were amazingly knowledgeable until you realized they are simply human and make mistakes?

    Remember how you used to think your Senators were so patriotic and knowledgeable about the Constitution? Sigh.

  12. Strangely, it seems Andy Martin’s blog won’t come up. Whassamatta, SoetorObama, getting too close for your comfort?

    Very Disappointing! I like Sen. Cornyn and expect better from him. Zach

  15. Don’t you have Congressman Linder of Ga. and Senator Inhofe of Oklahoma sighned on? I thought it was all set.

    ms helga

  16. Citizen…I also wrote Sen. Cornyn’s office…and received the same letter….about a mouth ago…also let him know I was voting for him instead of the Democrat…due to Obama.
    Thanks,
    Louis

  17. I sent “BOB”‘s The Coming Train Wreck to my Congressman Connie Mack. Never heard a thing. I guess he is too busy skiing with his new wife -Sonny Bono’s ex-wife -widow ,who is now the Congress woman filling Sony’s seat. WHAT A LIFE

    ms helga

  18. We could all stand with you pissing into the wind but I am afraid we are all only going to get wet.

    The mindset of these solons that have responded is the root of the cancer that is consuming our country.

  19. My letter from Senator Jeff Sessions, Alabama.

    Dear ______:

    Thank you for your recent letter regarding President-elect Barack Obama. I appreciate your comments and welcome the opportunity to respond.

    The Constitution of the United States requires that all candidates for the office of President must be at least 35 years of age, natural born citizens, and residents in the United States for the previous 14 years. As you know, stories have circulated that call into question President-elect Obama’s citizenship. To this end, lawsuits have been filed allegging that Obama is not a natural born citizen of the United States, and therefore is constitutionally ineligible for the office of President.

    One of the most highly publicized suits was filed by Philip Berg on August 21, 2008, in the U. S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. This suit was dismissed on October 24, 2008, and Berg subsequently filed an appeal. The decision to hear the case is still pending before the United States Supreme Court. A related suit, filed by Leo Donofrio, was recently submitted to the Supreme Court. On December 8, 2008, the court declined to hear Donofrio’s suit.

    Senate ethics rules preclude me from becoming personally involved in pending litigation. I sincerely hope this matter can be fully and promptly resolved by the courts. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact me in the future should you have a question regarding an issue over which I have jurisdiction.

    Thank you again for writing. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome.

    Very truly yours,
    Jeff Sessions
    United States Senator

  20. Zach.
    Perhaps if he is informed of his errors, he will try to correct them.
    I have to believe that many congressmen were fooled, just like
    many Americans. This has been an Orwellian campaign of word manipulation
    and revisionist history, aided by the MSM. The MSM became the screen
    in everyone’s home, just as in “1984”, that told everyone the “truth”.
    The Obama camp became the “Truth Ministry.” Once again, just as
    in “1984”, one was not allowed to question the “truth.”

  21. ms. helga.
    There have been some discussions.
    Take nothing for granted.
    The Obama camp will do everything in their power to try to stop us.
    Regardless, we should make every effort to inform all congressmen
    and hold them accountable.

  22. Greg Goss.
    We must remove the cancer before it spreads.

  23. There has been a big response to the Hall of Shame.
    We must do all that we can to inform the congressmen and hold them
    accountable. This effort is not wasted.
    1. If Obama gets inaugurated, these are the same people that would be
    involved in impeachment.
    2. Sooner or later these people will be voted out.

  24. Citizen,
    My letter from Sessions has already been posted, but here’s my letter from AL- Rep. Spencer Bachus:

    Dear _______,
    Thank you for contacting me with your concerns about the qualifications required to be President of the United States. Should any legislation concerning this issue come before Congress, please rest assured that I will keep your thoughts and comments in mind.

    It was good to hear from you. Please feel free to contact me any time you have an issue of concern before Congress. It is an honor to serve as your United States Representative.
    Sincerely,
    Spencer Bachus
    Member of Congress

    My comment on J. Sessions’ response–at least HE is paying attention to the cases etc. (though this is not enough) and he thinks that the courts should provide the remedy. (NOT!) At least Sessions & Bachus are very aware of the situation…but they’ve GOTTA DO SOMETHING!

  25. Thanks Catherine.
    I am posting a new entry in a few minutes.
    Check it out.

  26. Has there been any word yet if Cort is going to file a writ of certiorari?

  27. I got the same “form letter” from Sen. Graham in South Carolina so I wrote another letter back to his local hometown office where he was spending the holidays. I’ll let you know if I hear back from him.

    Senator Graham,
    Thank you for your response to my questions. I would appreciate it if you could clarify one more thing for me. Since you are the Senator and are more familiar with our Constitution, could you please explain why in your letter you said “every child born in the United States is a natural-born United States citizen” and relating that to the fact that Obama is eligible to be President.
    I was under the assumption that just being born on U.S. soil made the person a US citizen or a native born citizen (dependent on parents’ status) but not a natural born citizen (unless both parents were citizens) Since his father was not a US citizen does the article below not mean anything?
    Quote:
    The constitutional terms of the U.S. Constitution that are used by the Supreme Court in determining the type of U.S. citizenship under Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 and the relevant federal law under U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898), and Perkins v. Elg, 307 U.S. 325 (1939).
    1) Natural born citizen = both parents as U.S. citizens and born in the U.S.
    2) Native born citizen = No parents as U.S. citizens, but born in the U.S.
    3) U.S. citizen = born in the U.S. with a parent being a U.S. citizen.
    It’s very clearly obvious, that in order to be a “natural born Citizen” of the U.S. both parents must be U.S. Citizens and the individual is born in the U.S. mainland.
    However, accordingly by Obama’s own campaign website, it clearly states how Barack Obama is a “native born citizen” and NOT a “natural born citizen” as required by the U.S. constitution to be eligible for Presidency of the United States.
    On Obama’s own campaign website, it states and affirms that Barack Obama at birth was born with dual nationalities, because his father Barack Obama Sr. was a Kenyan native whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama.
    Thank you for your time and assistance.

  28. CW…

    I think a broad impeachment will be necessary to any and all Senators and Representatives who were willing to undermine the country by knowingly allowing a usurper to gain control of the highest position in our government.

    The question is, how can this be done by Patriots legally, without force, and without having to rely on the Judicial System to do so? Is it in our Consitutional right to demand forfeiture of seats through public trial or some other means?

    I think the threat based on the Hall of Shame is the resounding answer that We the People appear to have absolutely no say in this matter. Congress completely understands the issue, and past attempts to redefine “Natural Born Citizen” through recent legislature clearly shows this. We already know this and so do they.

    The time to plan is now. Based on the horrid rating of Congress and the responses read here, I have little faith they will listen to us at this point.

  29. Thanks Cane.

  30. John Cornyn , you certainly had me fooled. I lived in Texas for twenty five years. I voted for you while I lived there. I was lead to believe you were an honest, Constitution loving, man of the citizens. I can see I was fooled. It’s not to late to change your mind. The way politics work in this day, and time, people change their views almost daily.

  31. I recieved a letter from Senator Dorgan from North Dakota but threw it away. It was the same thing he sent my friend so a form letter. I wish
    I would’ve saved it. Please keep up the hard work. I will write to our Congressman again.
    God Bless all of you.

  32. “Has there been any word yet if Cort is going to file a writ of certiorari?”

    This could be in the works right now. I think they are going to see about Dr. Vieira. Well, I hope that’s right.

  33. Actually, with Cort’s case, I don’t know who it’s going to be yet, however, it is being looked into to filing a writ of certiorari. I hope so!

  34. No government power can be abused long. Mankind will not bear it.

    It’s too bad that the senators, etc., can’t see this Hall of Shame. Maybe Joseph Farah should report on this at WND.

  36. I received the following letter and wrote a response to Harry Reid after an e-mail I sent him in November imploring him and all leaders to uphold the Constitution. He of course is one of the biggest idiots in the whole Washington elite THUGS!!! I will also post the letter and response my husband sent him in a seperate post. My initial e-mail to all elected officials in the state of Nevada…………………………….=============================

    To Whom It May Concern:

    I am a citizen of the United States of America and specifically the state of Nevada. Many of our citizens are getting caught up in what they are coining a “historic election” in electing the first black man to the highest office in our land. However, as a concerned citizen and patriot I am demanding that all of you state officials who represent my voice……. demand that we know who the people of this country elected to be POTUS in the name of Barack Obama.

    He has not been forth coming with a lot of his background and history. We have not seen his official birth certificate that contains a state seal. My husband was born in 1961 also and his official birth certificate looks nothing like the one Mr. Obama is trying to pass off as authentic. No one has seen any detailed medical documents. A one page note from a doctor stating he is okay is not sufficient. My daughter needs more than that to be admitted back into school after a 3 day absence!!!

    It is a requirement per our Constitution that anyone wishing to be POTUS must be a “natural born citizen”. To date no one has seen Mr. Obama’s birth certificate except for two people in Hawaii who say it exists. Now Obama has ordered this information to be sealed. As an American citizen and registered voter I have a vested interest in learning the truth here and we need you to act and act NOW!!!!!!!!!

    I can’t and won’t support this president-elect until he comes clean with who he is and if he meets all of the qualifications to hold the most powerful job in the world!!

    AS OUR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS YOU HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO US TO SEE THIS THROUGH BEFORE OUR CONSTITUTION HAS BEEN PROSTITUTED BY AN ANTI-AMERICAN FRAUD!!!!!

    Sincerely,

    Jacqlyn K. Smith
    Henderson, Nevada

    P.S. If you happen to be an official of the Electoral College then I am requesting you vote on December 15, 2008 against Barack Obama and for the real patriot in John McCain…… unless Mr. Obama proves to the American people before then that he meets all the requirements to become “our” leader and entrust “our” lives and the lives of “our” children to him!!!!
    ==============================The e-mail I received from Harry Reid!!!

    December 5, 2008

    Mrs. Jacqlyn Smith
    Henderson, Nevada 89052

    Dear Mrs. Smith:

    Thank you for contacting me. I appreciate hearing from you.

    According to Article I, Sections 2 and 3 of the Constitution, any person serving in the United States House of Representatives must have reached the age of twenty-five and must have been a citizen of the United States for at least seven years, and any person serving in the United States Senate must have reached the age of thirty and must have been a citizen of the United States for at least nine years. In addition, Article II, Section 1 mandates that a person must have reached the age of thirty-five and be a natural born citizen in order to serve as President of the United States.

    As you mentioned, some reports have surfaced that my former colleague, President-Elect Barack Obama, is not a natural-born American citizen. These reports are false. Barack Obama was born on August 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Hawai’i. His birth certificate is a matter of public record of the State of Hawai’i and is available online through various news sources, as well as on the Web site for the nonpartisan, nonprofit Annenberg Political Fact Check: http://www.factcheck.org. I hope you find this information useful.

    Again, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with me. For more information about my work for Nevada, my role in the United States Senate Leadership, or to subscribe to regular e-mail updates on the issues that interest you, please visit my Web site at http://reid.senate.gov. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

    My best wishes to you.

    Sincerely,

    HARRY REID
    United States Senator
    Nevada

    HR:js=========================My e-mail responding to his Dec. 5th e-mail!!!! Quite pathetic…..I haven’t heard from him since!!!

    Mr. Reid—-Please look at the above e-mail I received from you!!! Is this a joke??? Do you really believe you can fool all the people all of the time? What you have written here is a lie and what Mr. Obama is trying to pull over on the American people is a CRIME!!! How stupid do you think we are??? Now ….as an elected official for the state of Nevada, I demand that you uphold the Constitution or you too will be committing a crime of TREASON!!! Now don’t send me this type of e-mail again until you show me the authentic, original vault copy of Mr. Obama’s birth certificate!!!! What you are telling me to check is not a copy of his original birth. The place you are sending me to has already been checked and everyone knows it is a FRAUD and not what is appropriate evidence to show one is eligible to be President. If you think it is then you have no right representing me in Washington. I would term you to be as stupid as stupid could be!!!! As my state’s Senator I will be waiting for your reply and it better not be the nonsense you just sent OUT!!!! THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! DO YOUR JOB THAT WE TAX PAYERS PAY GOOD MONEY FOR!!!!!!

    Your constituent and your BOSS,
    Jacqlyn K. Smith
    Henderson, NV 89052

    P.S. I can’t believe you expect me to accept this e-mail as true. I will be saving your e-mail as proof that you too are trying to fool the American people by sending out false information!!! You really are an arrogant SOB!!!!

    According to Article I, Sections 2 and 3 of the Constitution, any person serving in the United States House of Representatives must have reached the age of twenty-five and must have been a citizen of the United States for at least seven years, and any person serving in the United States Senate must have reached the age of thirty and must have been a citizen of the United States for at least nine years. In addition, Article II, Section 1 mandates that a person must have reached the age of thirty-five and be a natural born citizen in order to serve as President of the United States.

    As you mentioned, some reports have surfaced that my former colleague, President-Elect Barack Obama, is not a natural-born American citizen. These reports are false. Barack Obama was born on August 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Hawai’i. His birth certificate is a matter of public record of the State of Hawai’i and is available online through various news sources, as well as on the Web site for the nonpartisan, nonprofit Annenberg Political Fact Check: http://www.factcheck.org. I hope you find this information useful.

    Again, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with me. For more information about my work for Nevada, my role in the United States Senate Leadership, or to subscribe to regular e-mail updates on the issues that interest you, please visit my Web site at http://reid.senate.gov. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

    My best wishes to you.

    Sincerely,

    HARRY REID
    United States Senator

    Dear Senator Reid,
    Though the question of the authenticity of Senator Obama’s birth certificate is still in question – Sen. Obama has ties to the “non-partisan” factcheck.org” cited in your correspondence – even had he been born in Hawai’i, the federal law at the time would have caused him to have assumed the citizenship of his father. His father was born in Nigeria, a British colony at the time; therefore, Barry was born a British citizen as the USA did not allow dual citizenship in 1961.

    One would think that you, with all of your resources and experience, would be aware of this. Perhaps if you were a bit more enlightened and more desirous of the truth rather than political gain, you might try and represent your constituents and put this issue to rest before a grave injustice is done and Barry is sworn in as POTUS.

    Once again, I am disappointed in the “Democratic” process that you and your ilk feign to carry out.

    Thank you for the form letter response and feel free to re-adjust your blinders.

    Best regards,
    Patrick J. Smith, Jr
