The Tea Party Express II will be in one of my favorite parts of the country today, Northern California and Southern Oregon. Redding, CA and Medford, OR will be the site of Tea Party protests today, October 29, 2009.
Here are some reports from recent Tea Party Express II protests in California and Nevada.
“WOW! Huge crowd turns out in Walnut Creek, CA – Breaking News
Hello from Walnut Creek, CA – a community in the East Bay of the San Francisco metropolitan area. So in the sea of liberalism stood an island of patriotic Americans rallying together today united in the effort to advance the tea party movement.”
“There’s also a crucial Congressional Special Election coming up here on November 3rd which features David Harmer (a Republican who strongly opposes government-run healthcare) up against California Lieutenant Governor, John Garamendi (a Democrat who is a big advocate of government-run healthcare and the Obama-Pelosi-Reid agenda of big government, bailouts, higher taxes and out-of-control spending).
Harmer spoke at this evening’s rally to an enthusiastic crowd – perhaps the most enthusiastic crowd we’ve had since the kickoff event in San Diego, CA. Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy – we sure enjoyed the great people of Walnut Creek:”
“CNN Reports on the Tea Party Express
CNN’s Jon King interviewed Tea Party Express Vice Chair, Mark Williams, about the “Tea Party Express II: Countdown to Judgment Day.”
A relatively fair interview with CNN’s King asking questions and allowing the Tea Party Express’s Mark Williams to respond. There’s some good stuff in this interview, friends!”

***** Announcing: Save New Jersey Initiative *****
Based on the following concept:
Six degrees of separation
“Six degrees of separation is the theory that anyone on the planet can be connected to any other person on the planet through a chain of acquaintances that has no more than five intermediaries. ”
I will put up an article today about BO spending tax payer dollars to save face instead of
spending time doing important things such as focusing energy on Afghanistan.
The article is, however, not the point.
Begin contacting as many as possible.
Tell them to do the same.
Objective: Contact as many as possible in NJ.
Motivate them to get out and vote.
BO and thugs are trying to steal this election.
Thanks and God bless.

JeffM-you are correct re: Dred Scott and fire.
Maddie-I was having a heck of a time trying to post last night. Hope you saw all the Vera Baker information and hope it helps, those money stores/payday cash stores started all kinds of grief in Florida, I’m sure some could be used for money laundering operations, somewhat akin to
“chop shops” car parts-stolen cars, or “pawn shops” laundering stolen property. As soon as they get rid of the crooks, some are legitimate-a whole new crew moves in (think gypsy). Saw more good information re: Tamarac address.
This is great news! I look forward to Tx. visit.
Has anyone been to the Obama File today? He is covering the accepted vs. filed feature and Hawaii’s refusal to anwser queries on the significance of this.I hope this will prove to be something that can be drug into court.I hope Orly is up on this.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 29% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty percent (40%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -11 (see trends).
Greg Goss-so how come 2 million showed up for the first one? Just because he didn’t report doesn’t mean this event did not happen.
Obama is just the Nixon-first the LIE, and now well in his case perpetually the COVER UP.
Any combination on one or both drives the American people crazy. Haven’t the politicians figured that out yet??? Out of control spending right up there too.
Revealing info on o’s youth, stuff I have never heard like he stole a car and “Audacity of Hope” was from a Rev Wright sermon. I tried to access the original link and recieved computer error- no surprise.

Shameful Secrets-As soon as I read this article about this subject I thought about Obama and all of his. Judging by the sheer weight and volume of his Obama must be very sick.

October 22, 2009
Comment Print Email Carrie Fisher doesn’t have many secrets, says Amy Larocca in New York. In her 53 years, the actress and screenwriter has faced more than the usual quota of demons—substance abuse, bipolar disorder, and a series of failed relationships, including a marriage in which her husband left her for a man. She chooses to laugh at all of it, like the time she woke up to find a male friend dead in her bed: “Have you ever seen a dead body? They’re really bad conversationalists.” Or her years of alcohol and drug use: “I don’t have a problem with drugs so much as I have a problem with sobriety.” Or her stint in a mental ward: “I was in the hospital with a woman who called her shrink and said, ‘I’m going to commit suicide,’ and he said, ‘You said you would call me first,’ and she said, ‘I did,’ and then she shot herself.” Fisher has turned her mordant humor into a one-woman show on Broadway, but her main motivation for going public, she says, is therapeutic, not commercial. “I’m transparent about all this stuff because it’s out there anyway, and I want my version. The fact that I can make somebody laugh at this stuff—it can be very cathartic. If you claim something, you can own it. But if you have it as a shameful secret, you’re f—ed; you’re sitting in a room populated by elephants. Also, I do believe you’re only as sick as your secrets. If that’s true, I’m just really healthy.”
The AP made a big deal that today Obuma snuck into Dover Airforce base to honor the dead as they where being unloaded from the plane. They said even Bush didn’t do that. They’re right. Bush didn’t have to make such a gesture just because of the criticism he’d been getting over NOT taking action and costing more American lives each day he spends playing golf or attending fund raisers. Bush didn’t go and face dead soldiers in the middle of the night. Instead he comforted live grieving family’s and visited the wounded in the hospital. He went to Iraq on Thanksgiving to celebrate with HIS troops. I wonder where the One will be this Thanksgiving? Working out or playing Golf?
Obuma will be a one term president. The worse one yet and he will have personally destroyed the democrat party. Just Hope this country can survive his arrogance.
Prairie-I was able to get into Free Republic-I wonder what name was on the criminal report re: stolen car- Grand Larceny Auto Theft, was time served in jail?
To say this book is a candid snapshot of a man, the most powerful man in the world, is an understatement. I neither endorse, nor condemn, this book but I will say that it gave me a lesser opinion of the man. He is more of a racist than any white person I have ever known. He wears his color on his shoulder and every look, comment, or gesture from a white person is instantly interpreted as having racist overtones. He is yet another black man with a chip on his shoulder that condemns whites throughout the world as forever oppressing people of color. It is a sad commentary from a man who was later able to convince millions of people that he is the answer to their problems
Page 295: “…I wasn’t ever going to amount to anything…at the age of fifteen, busted for grand larceny auto theft…”
What bothers me about the Obama I’ve discovered in his book is the revelation that he was a big user of drugs, that he stole a vehicle when he was 15, and that he admits that he views whites as being responsible for the lack of black social, economical, and political progress in the United States. I’m bothered by the fact that so much was made about President Clinton “not inhaling marijuana” but that I never heard anything about Obama’s use of this and even worse drugs when he was campaigning for president. I’m bothered by the fact that media sources have made an obvious and concerted effort to protect the image of Obama by not giving publication to his numerous missteps. I’m bothered that even after learning about his many short-comings, many Americans will choose to ignore these truths and continue to treat Obama as if he is a rock star or the second coming of Christ.
Michelle,
Were you able to follow the original source? This is where I got blocked- I would bet the auto theft is under Soetoro and also sealed. Wouldn’t this also have needed to be answered in the affirmative on his Bar application as having a criminal record?

CW-
Thanks from NJ! I’ve been doing my share of making contact with people.
Prairie-I just just clicked on your link and got right in-So I copied as much as I could do you want me to copy the whole thing. It says he was 15 years old but not what state. This is a felony I know that much, due to a minor would those records be sealed, I wonder which name he used? Everything I ever saw says were you ever convicted for …., they don’t ask if you were ever arrested, I don’t think. But these are a whole new list of questions. I’ll go back and see what I can dredge up.
He lies so much could he have been older than 15.
I received a letter from the Bd. of Elections a couple of years ago asking me if I would like to work at a polling place. I thought about it, but was afraid I might not be able to keep my mouth shut!
We’ve crossed a very critical juncture in the Obama eligibility cases — very critical in terms of timing. I believe Judge Carter knows this.
Until now (or very recently, say last week or two) any court taking action vis a vis Obama eligibility would have seriously risked (let’s use the term for want of a better one) “riots in the streets” by some portion of the population, certainly civil unrest by segments of the population. As of now, the reverse is true, were the Carter court NOT to address the Obama eligibility case, the risk of, if not outright “riots in the street”, certainly substantial civil unrest is manifest by OTHER large segments of the population.
Perhaps this waiting for the day of reckoning was worth the while, noting the cost with each day of delay in terms of destruction of our national economy and defense, but again maybe a necessary cost to reach this point in time where the majority of popular support is in favor of definite court action against Obama.
Nancy, please tell your friends and neighbors not to believe the polls. They are designed to manipulate public opinion – not reflect it. Please ask them to get out and vote!
Prairie-I couldn’t get into the original source—that page is down the usual. This is the rest, everything else is page numbers in the book.

Who Is Barack Hussein Obama? Obama in his own words
audacityofhypocrisy ^
Posted on Thursday, October 29, 2009 9:29:30 AM by big black dog
This book was written several years (1995) before Obama campaigned for President of the United States. As a result of being the first African-American to be elected president of the Harvard Law Review, Obama received an advance from a publisher to write a book. The book primarily addresses the life of Obama and other people of color in their seemingly constant struggle to overcome what he portrays as control from “whites”. There is substantial profanity and language that might be considered inappropriate and offensive to some people.
I went to the Tea Party in Walnut Creek last night (my town). You have to understand that here in the Bay Area, it’s an Obama den of snakes. I was surprised at how many people were there! Lots of flags waving. There would have been many more people, I think, but the Bay Bridge was shut down (can’t remember that ever happening before!), so we didn’t get the S.F. crowd. Frankly, it had not been advertised much, so again, I was happy about the large crowd, and the horns beeping as cars passed the event. There were great signs (and a few pro Obama nitwits). The “show” was well done, with lots of songs and inspirational speeches. There were local candidates there who said a few words. All-in-all, we were very motivated and excited afterwards (definitely glad that we had gone.)
Patriot Dreamer-
I agree about polls. Corzine probably bought that, too. It was a Quinnipiac Poll.
Michelle,
Could there have been an ammendment to a COLB in that year to make him a minor and keep him out of jail. Would this also need to be on college apps and passport apps. I know of a friend who could not get into Canada because of a 20 year old felony on his record.
Paulajal, I’m glad you went!
Paulajal-
I read that a cable broke on the Bay Bridge.
Jack-I agree-The government I think is trying not to lose face, sometimes patience is a virtue. Not one of my strongest points, a life long struggle for me. Part of the long drawn out national nightmare that was good is finding all of this criminal-staggering criminal activity-that we would have never found had the government been straight with the people. Now it isn’t not only Obama, it is several people. For sure DNC, Dean, Pelosi and Reid ACORN the whole corrupt outfit, SEIU, Valerie Jarrett and her corrupt company and that’s just the short list.

Election 2009: New Jersey Governor
New Jersey Governor: Christie 46%, Corzine 43%
Tuesday, October 27, 2009 Email to a Friend ShareThis.Advertisement
With just a week to go in New Jersey’s closely contested race for governor, Republican Chris Christie holds a three-point advantage over incumbent Democratic Governor Jon Corzine.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in New Jersey show Christie with 46% of the vote and Corzine with 43%. While the margin is little changed from a week ago and the week before, the biggest news may be that support for independent candidate Chris Daggett has dropped four points to seven percent (7%). The number of undecided voters is down to four percent (4%).
Prairie- Good Thought
re: “Could there have been an ammendment to a COLB in that year to make him a minor and keep him out of jail” with the way this group doctors documents anything is possible. They say he was 15 in the book which none of us read, I can barely get through excerpts-could this be the “embarrassing” thing???I think a lot depends on the state where crime was committed and the laws in place at the time. Here in Florida nowadays this crime probably would result in prosecuted as an adult. The laws got stiffer over the years.
When I was a little kid my cousin 15 boy stole a car maybe he was joy riding I don’t remember, but he was charged with stealing a car. The Judge remanded him to the custody of my father who served under Patton. My father rode my cousin-did’t have to say anything to the other kids they all behave. Those 2 became best buddies. I think jail would have been easier. I felt so sorry for my cousin. Let’s put it this way, he became a very law abiding citizen.
Paulajal -I think the horns honking reveals a lot.
**** New Post ****
“Nothing ventured, nothing gained.”
Michelle,
Remember the house in the birth announcement owned by the La Forge family (the professor, can’t spell) was purchased by him in 1958 but he did not live there till 1963. Who lived there in 58? This would possibly explain why the COLB is “filed” and not “Accepted.” Interestingly, it would also make SAD a single mom on welfare (like MO claims). Just a hypothesis- like all of o’s past.
Michelle says ;
I was there for that one, DC Rally from the Ground, truly an inspiring experience. Make the effort to get to one of these, you will enjoy it more than you can imagine.
“Six degrees of separation is the theory that anyone on the planet can be connected to any other person on the planet through a chain of acquaintances that has no more than five intermediaries. ”

Prairie-Greg Goss-wait til Maddie sees some of this she might be able to see a little more-you’re correct about the name, but I can’t remember the years, I figure every little tid-bit of information helps fill in another piece to the whole or reveal more criminal activity. I’m going to try to look up application to bar State of Illinois.
Greg-I have been in demonstrations from time to time, always fun and interesting and diverse. It’s like WE THE PEOPLE v/s the Government and the Press this time.
Something is off, way off on the accepted vs. filed data on Obama’s COLB.
If you look at the Nordyke twins certificates of live birth in the lower right and left hand boxes it says “date accepted by local reg.” and ” date accepted by reg….” and something follows i can’t make out. The dates accepted are Aug 11,1961. They were born the day after Obama Aug 5, 1961. The mother’s signature is Aug 7, 1961.
If you read the DOH 11-1-4(d) it states “The date when the department actually receives a document is the date of filing.”
The signature of attendant on the Nordyke twins is that of an MD on Aug 11, 1961. The MD signs six days after the twins are born.
Hawaii DOH did not actually receive the Nordyke twin documentation until Aug 11, 1961 after the doctor signed the forms. I assume the hospital sent the documentation to the DOH. They filed and accepted the documentation on Aug 11, 1961.
Obama’s documents show up on Aug 8 1961, and are still not accepted in 2007 on the factcheck COLB.
If Obama is born at Kapiolani Maternity & Gynocological Hospital the night before the Nordyke twins how did they get the signature of the attendant md so fast? It took the Nordyke twins 6 days and their documentation shows up on Aug 11, 1961 and on the same day it is filed, it is also accepted.
O’s documentation shows up on August 8, 1961 during business hours so really only 3 days time after his birth and is filed but not accepted by 2007.
Something fishy here is going on.

He lies so much could he have been older than 15.
Not, he lies so much it may have never happened……
*********** New Post **************
A little more on my 1958 or 59 theory. SAD would have concieved o at 14 or 15, the time frame of the provacative photos taken by Frank Marshal Davis. Davis had connections at the university to hook SAD up with a home (La Forge). The Kenya birth may be a distraction thrown out by o every time the debate turns to the year. For example, as Donofrio is making his requests from HI, the Kenyan-born articles are released on the net. An ammendment to the COLB could have been to make him a minor or simply done at the time SAD married Sr. to legitamatize her son. What a mini-series this will make in the end.
Nancy // October 29, 2009 at 10:39 am
I received a letter from the Bd. of Elections a couple of years ago asking me if I would like to work at a polling place. I thought about it, but was afraid I might not be able to keep my mouth shut!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Me t00..my story…..in 2008, having moved to a really rural area in Kentucky, I called the county court clerk and voiced my worries about illegal Mexicans voting(didn’t know at the time there were only about 10 in this town) and he assured me that I didn’t need to worry, there would be plenty of supervision and oversight at the voting stations.
Sure…right!!
So, I go to the little school to vote and there are the 3 clerks, one about 80 and the other two maybe 60’s…..
I offered my registration card, and asked if they needed my photo I.D. and they said no……
I questioned this and the elderly gent said, oh, we know every voter coming here to vote.
And in that rural area, I bet he or the other ladies did…….small, rural communities, you just can’t beat ’em.
Moving beyond, that is, assuming at some point soon — certainly well before the 2012 election — Obama will be ousted as ineligible (either by political pressure once Alan Keyes recovers in tort fraud against BHO or some other direct judicial directive to leave), there seem to be two opinions on determining a successor POTUS. (Biden would certainly be a no-go as connected to the ineligibile Obama fraud.)
Orly Taitz seems to think there’d be a special election. I’m not so sure. Wouldn’t Congress select a successor under the Constitution? Any discussion on this would seem to be of interest.
Visit Obama File…Judge Carter grants MTD.
Jack,
Orly Taitz said in her Behar interview
the successor would be “Hillary Clinton,”
those were Orly’s words.
The House of Representatives could elect a new Speaker, if they wanted to. That would take care of the problem of Nancy Pelosi being “tainted” by the election fraud.
let’s check this first shall we, according to US law it self:
Dual Nationality
The concept of dual nationality means that a person is a citizen of two countries at the same time. Each country has its own citizenship laws based on its own policy.Persons may have dual nationality by automatic operation of different laws rather than by choice. For example, a child born in a foreign country to U.S. citizen parents may be both a U.S. citizen and a citizen of the country of birth.
A U.S. citizen may acquire foreign citizenship by marriage, or a person naturalized as a U.S. citizen may not lose the citizenship of the country of birth.U.S. law does not mention dual nationality or require a person to choose one citizenship or another. Also, a person who is automatically granted another citizenship does not risk losing U.S. citizenship. However, a person who acquires a foreign citizenship by applying for it may lose U.S. citizenship. In order to lose U.S. citizenship, the law requires that the person must apply for the foreign citizenship voluntarily, by free choice, and with the intention to give up U.S. citizenship.
Intent can be shown by the person’s statements or conduct.The U.S. Government recognizes that dual nationality exists but does not encourage it as a matter of policy because of the problems it may cause. Claims of other countries on dual national U.S. citizens may conflict with U.S. law, and dual nationality may limit U.S. Government efforts to assist citizens abroad. The country where a dual national is located generally has a stronger claim to that person’s allegiance.
However, dual nationals owe allegiance to both the United States and the foreign country. They are required to obey the laws of both countries. Either country has the right to enforce its laws, particularly if the person later travels there.Most U.S. citizens, including dual nationals, must use a U.S. passport to enter and leave the United States. Dual nationals may also be required by the foreign country to use its passport to enter and leave that country. Use of the foreign passport does not endanger U.S. citizenship.Most countries permit a person to renounce or otherwise lose citizenship.
Information on losing foreign citizenship can be obtained from the foreign country’s embassy and consulates in the United States. Americans can renounce U.S. citizenship in the proper form at U.S. embassies and consulates abroad.
and here’s another about US law:
Advice about Possible Loss of U.S. Citizenship and Dual Nationality
The Department of State is responsible for determining the citizenship status of a person located outside the United States or in connection with the application for a U.S. passport while in the United States.
POTENTIALLY EXPATRIATING ACTS
Section 349 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1481), as amended, states that U.S. citizens are subject to loss of citizenship if they perform certain specified acts voluntarily and with the intention to relinquish U.S. citizenship. Briefly stated, these acts include:
1. obtaining naturalization in a foreign state (Sec. 349 (a) (1) INA);
2. taking an oath, affirmation or other formal declaration to a foreign state or its political subdivisions (Sec. 349 (a) (2) INA);
3. entering or serving in the armed forces of a foreign state engaged in hostilities against the U.S. or serving as a commissioned or non-commissioned officer in the armed forces of a foreign state (Sec. 349 (a) (3) INA);
4. accepting employment with a foreign government if (a) one has the nationality of that foreign state or (b) an oath or declaration of allegiance is required in accepting the position (Sec. 349 (a) (4) INA);
5. formally renouncing U.S. citizenship before a U.S. diplomatic or consular officer outside the United States (sec. 349 (a) (5) INA);
6. formally renouncing U.S. citizenship within the U.S. (but only under strict, narrow statutory conditions) (Sec. 349 (a) (6) INA);
7. conviction for an act of treason (Sec. 349 (a) (7) INA).
ADMINISTRATIVE STANDARD OF EVIDENCE
As already noted, the actions listed above can cause loss of U.S. citizenship only if performed voluntarily and with the intention of relinquishing U.S. citizenship. The Department has a uniform administrative standard of evidence based on the premise that U.S. citizens intend to retain United States citizenship when they obtain naturalization in a foreign state, subscribe to a declaration of allegiance to a foreign state, serve in the armed forces of a foreign state not engaged in hostilities with the United States, or accept non-policy level employment with a foreign government.
DISPOSITION OF CASES WHEN ADMINISTRATIVE PREMISE IS APPLICABLE
In light of the administrative premise discussed above, a person who:
1. is naturalized in a foreign country;
2. takes a routine oath of allegiance to a foreign state;
3. serves in the armed forces of a foreign state not engaged in hostilities with the United States, or
4. accepts non-policy level employment with a foreign government,
and in so doing wishes to retain U.S. citizenship need not submit prior to the commission of a potentially expatriating act a statement or evidence of his or her intent to retain U.S. citizenship since such an intent will be presumed.
When, as the result of an individual’s inquiry or an individual’s application for registration or a passport it comes to the attention of a U.S. consular officer that a U.S. citizen has performed an act made potentially expatriating by Sections 349(a)(1), 349(a)(2), 349(a)(3) or 349(a)(4) as described above, the consular officer will simply ask the applicant if there was intent to relinquish U.S. citizenship when performing the act. If the answer is no, the consular officer will certify that it was not the person’s intent to relinquish U.S. citizenship and, consequently, find that the person has retained U.S. citizenship.
PERSONS WHO WISH TO RELINQUISH U.S. CITIZENSHIP
If the answer to the question regarding intent to relinquish citizenship is yes , the person concerned will be asked to complete a questionnaire to ascertain his or her intent toward U.S. citizenship. When the questionnaire is completed and the voluntary relinquishment statement is signed by the expatriate, the consular officer will proceed to prepare a certificate of loss of nationality. The certificate will be forwarded to the Department of State for consideration and, if appropriate, approval.
An individual who has performed any of the acts made potentially expatriating by statute who wishes to lose U.S. citizenship may do so by affirming in writing to a U.S. consular officer that the act was performed with an intent to relinquish U.S. citizenship. Of course, a person always has the option of seeking to formally renounce U.S. citizenship abroad in accordance with Section 349 (a) (5) INA.
DISPOSITION OF CASES WHEN ADMINISTRATIVE PREMISE IS INAPPLICABLE
The premise that a person intends to retain U.S. citizenship is not applicable when the individual:
1. formally renounces U.S. citizenship before a consular officer;
2. serves in the armed forces of a foreign state engaged in hostilities with the United States;
3. takes a policy level position in a foreign state;
4. is convicted of treason; or
5. performs an act made potentially expatriating by statute accompanied by conduct which is so inconsistent with retention of U.S. citizenship that it compels a conclusion that the individual intended to relinquish U.S. citizenship. (Such cases are very rare.)
Cases in categories 2, 3, 4 and 5 will be developed carefully by U.S. consular officers to ascertain the individual’s intent toward U.S. citizenship.
APPLICABILITY OF ADMINISTRATIVE PREMISE TO PAST CASES
The premise established by the administrative standard of evidence is applicable to cases adjudicated previously. Persons who previously lost U.S. citizenship may wish to have their cases reconsidered in light of this policy.
A person may initiate such a reconsideration by submitting a request to the nearest U.S. consular office or by writing directly to:

LOSS OF NATIONALITY AND TAXATION
P.L. 104-191 contains changes in the taxation of U.S. citizens who renounce or otherwise lose U.S. citizenship. In general, any person who lost U.S. citizenship within 10 years immediately preceding the close of the taxable year, whose principle purpose in losing citizenship was to avoid taxation, will be subject to continued taxation.

* Internal Revenue Service Guidance on Expatriation Reporting Requirements
* Internal Revenue Service Expatriation Tax
Copies of approved Certificates of Loss of Nationality are provided by the Department of State to the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to P.L. 104-191. Questions regarding United States taxation consequences upon loss of U.S. nationality should be addressed to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.
DUAL NATIONALITY
Dual nationality can occur as the result of a variety of circumstances. The automatic acquisition or retention of a foreign nationality, acquired, for example, by birth in a foreign country or through an alien parent, does not affect U.S. citizenship. It is prudent, however, to check with authorities of the other country to see if dual nationality is permissible under local law. Dual nationality can also occur when a person is naturalized in a foreign state without intending to relinquish U.S. nationality and is thereafter found not to have lost U.S. citizenship: the individual consequently may possess dual nationality. While recognizing the existence of dual nationality and permitting Americans to have other nationalities, the U.S. Government also recognizes the problems which it may cause. Claims of other countries upon dual-national U.S. citizens often place them in situations where their obligations to one country are in conflict with the laws of the other. In addition, their dual nationality may hamper efforts to provide U.S. diplomatic and consular protection to them when they are abroad.
