Reported November 17, 2010.

“From the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal November 17, 2010.”

“The so-called “birther movement,” which questions Obama’s citizenship, started during the 2008 presidential campaign and though most news organizations have reported that there is overwhelming evidence that the president was born in Hawaii in 1961, there is small percentage of the U.S. population which is not convinced.”

“My response to the following paragraph from above:

“The so-called “birther movement,” which questions Obama’s citizenship, started during the 2008 presidential campaign and though most news organizations have reported that there is overwhelming evidence that the president was born in Hawaii in 1961, there is small percentage of the U.S. population which is not convinced.”

The following is a factual statement:

“most news organizations have reported that there is overwhelming evidence that the president was born in Hawaii in 1961″

Most “news organizations” did repeat that lie.

“there is small percentage of the U.S. population which is not convinced.”

Apparently, the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal is part of the conspiracy to perpetuate the lies.

Facts:

July 2009 AOL Poll: 81% say Obama should release birth certificate.

August 2009 Public Policy Polling of Virginia:

Born elsewhere 24%

Not sure 24%

July 2010 CNN Poll: Less than half were convinced of Obama US birth.

Probably born in US 29 %

Probably born elsewhere 16 %

Definitely born elsewhere 11 %

So,  Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, what is your excuse for inaccurate reporting?”

I posted a comment under this article:

“Why has Obama, for over 2 years, employed numerous private and government attorneys to avoid presenting a legitimate birth certificate and college records?”

The following classic left wing response to my comment:

“The Answer: He hasn’t.

Get a life, birthertard”

Here is one of numerous court records that prove that the commenter and the mainstream media are liars.

From Charles Kerchner, plaintiff in Kerchner v Obama.

Petition for Writ of Certiorari filed with the U.S. Supreme Court for Kerchner v Obama & Congress to be conferenced on by Supreme Court on Tuesday, 23 Nov 2010
http://www.scribd.com/doc/38506403/Petition-for-Writ-of-Certiorari-filed-with-the-U-S-Supreme-Court-for-Kerchner-v-Obama-Congress

Members of Congress, are you paying attention?

Who or what do you put your trust in?

Rumors, biased media reports?

Or do you listen to high ranking military officers, knowledgeable, patriotic attorneys, concerned Americans?

Do you believe court documents?

How about US Supreme Court documents?

Congress 101, How to act like a congressman, US Constitution, Support military, Listen to public, Act like you have some damn sense

Congress 101, How to act like a congressman, US Constitution, Support military, Listen to public, Act like you have some damn sense

“Why has Obama, for over 2 years, employed numerous private and government attorneys to avoid presenting a legitimate birth certificate and college records?”…Citizen Wells and millions of concerned Americans

New members of Congress recently received indoctrination on how Congress works. If past results are any indication, forget everything you heard unless it pertained to…

  • Uphold and defend the US Constitution. It is the supreme law of the land.
  • Support the military.
  • Listen to the public and act like you have some damn sense.

Most in the military take their oath to defend the US Constitution seriously. One military officer, LTC Terry Lakin, is living that oath.

From American Patriot Foundation.

“American Patriot Foundation: Updates on LTC Terry Lakin’s Case
http://www.SafeguardOurConstitution.com
 
 
THANK YOU to everyone for the tremendous response and participation in “Terry Lakin Action Week”- your phone calls and messages are making a difference. We apologize to anyone who hasn’t received a response yet back to an email- we do our best to keep up, but it is hard sometimes to keep abreast of all requests and comments received.
 
PLEASE KEEP UP THE PRESSURE- PHONE CALLS TO ELECTED OFFICIALS MATTER- AND A SPECIAL THANKS TO THOSE OF YOU WHO WALKED INTO CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT OFFICES TO RAISE YOUR VOICE IN SUPPORT OF LTC LAKIN.
 
Just this week, there were significant new developments on the eligibility front:
A state legislator in Texas introduced a bill requiring presidential candidates to file birth certificates- with the notable comment below:
 
“This bill is necessary because we have a president whom the American people don’t know whether he was born in Kenya or some other place,’ Rep. Leo Berman, R-Tyler, said in reference to President Barack Obama and of House Bill 295. ‘If you are running for president or vice president, you’ve got to show here in Texas that you were born in the United States and the birth certificate is your proof.
http://lubbockonline.com/local-news/2010-11-17/birth-certificate-bill-filed-presidential-candidates
 
AND— former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, in an interview in Anchorage pointed out the failure to vet Barack Obama in 2008:
 
Sarah Palin chatted with KWHL’s Bob and Mark Show to discuss the re-release of John Ziegler’s documentary How Obama Got Elected and her travelogue series, telling Bob and Mark that the hagiographic coverage of Obama in 2007-8 is now “coming home to roost”:
 
We know that Obama wasn’t vetted through the campaign, and now, you know, some things are coming home to roost, if you will, which is inexperience, his associations, and that ultimately harms our republic when a candidate isn’t – isn’t vetted by the media, that cornerstone of our democracy. So, you’re right, it’s not about me and whether you like my politics or not. You can push all that aside, and just pay attention to what that message is in this documentary, and that is that things have got to change for the better in the state of journalism. Otherwise, you know, it could be part of a demise of our democracy if that cornerstone erodes.

High ranking military officers are speaking out, questioning Obama’s eligibility and at least one general has called for Obama’s resignation. If you were in Congress in  2008 and 2009 and bought in to the Orwellian lies from the media and Obama camp and the hustle from Obama, pay attention and admit that you made a mistake. If you are not willing to trust members of the military like LTC Terry Lakin, then pay attention to this.

Obama the hustler.

“Bartle Bull, lifelong liberal Democrat, Civil Rights Attorney, called Obama a “hustler.””

(From Atlas Shrugs)

“The Biggest Hustle in Human History”

“Is the President’s resume accurate when it comes to his career and qualifications? I can corroborate that Obama’s “teaching career” at Chicago was, to put it kindly, a sham.

I spent some time with the highest tenured faculty member at Chicago Law a few months back, and he did not have many nice things to say about “Barry.” Obama applied for a position as an adjunct and wasn’t even considered. A few weeks later the law school got a phone call from the Board of Trustees telling them to find him an office, put him on the payroll, and give him a class to teach. The Board told him he didn’t have to be a member of the faculty, but they needed to give him a temporary position. He was never a professor and was hardly an adjunct.

The other professors hated him because he was lazy, unqualified, never attended any of the faculty meetings, and it was clear that the position was nothing more than a political stepping stool. According to my professor friend, he had the lowest intellectual capacity in the building. He also doubted whether he was legitimately an editor on the Harvard Law Review, because if he was, he would be the first and only editor of an Ivy League law review to never be published while in school (publication is or was a requirement).

Consider this: 1. President Barack Obama, former editor of the Harvard Law Review, is no longer a “lawyer”. He surrendered his license back in 2008 possibly to escape charges that he “fibbed” on his bar application. …”

“Curiously, since I relayed a report of Obama’s “teaching career” at Chicago (he was apparently never a law professor, as some have claimed), the Illinois Bar has decided to partially redact what little public information it had available on its website related to the President’s legal status.”

“Why has Obama, for over 2 years, employed numerous private and government attorneys to avoid presenting a legitimate birth certificate and college records?”…Citizen Wells and millions of concerned Americans

I don’t always reveal all that I am thinking about or working on. I do continue to support LTC Terry Lakin as well as uphold the US Constitution. This blog, as often stated, is a group effort. Major players in the Obama eligibility issues send me info on a regular basis. A recent one was a reminder that Richard Burr, senator from NC, made foolish, uninformed statements regarding Obama’s eligibility. As a resident and lifelong citizen of NC, I feel an obligation to set the record straight with Mr. Burr. I intend to do so.

As reported by The American Patriot Foundation.

“Certain Members of Congress based their claims that Obama was born in Hawaii almost entirely upon an online document (a Certifi-cation of Live Birth – not to be confused with an original birth certificate) – which the State of Hawaii has refused to verify as a state-issued document. In some cases, Congressmen out-sourced research on the eligibility issue to Senator Obama’s office, or to Obama-friendly websites such as FactCheck.org. or friendly news-papers. Yet with regard to McCain, the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing to try to determine his “natural born” status and approved a non-binding resolution affirming his eligibility. Senator McCain produced a long-form birth certificate (with hospital and attending doctor’s name) after being subjected to relentless ques-tions about his eligibility. Senator Obama co-sponsored this legisla-tion, but never produced a copy of his original birth certificate, and to this day, refuses to provide the name of a hospital of birth or an attending physician’s name to corroborate his claimed birth in Ha-waii.”

“Richard Burr:

Statement: “It is my understanding that President-Elect Obama
has released an official copy of his birth certificate. Since
he was born in 1961 in Hawaii, he is eligible under the Constitution
to run for and hold the office of President of the United
States. In addition, President-elect Obama’s birth records
have been certified and validated by the Hawaii Department
of Health as well as by experts from the University of Pennsylvania.”
Editorial comment: A Certification of Live Birth is NOT an
original birth certificate. No one from the the University of
Pennsylvania has ever certified and validated Obama’s original
birth certificate or any birth record from the Hawaiian Dept of
Health.”

To: Senator Burr
From: Citizen Wells

I will be contacting your office to inform you of this article and my intentions. I believe that you are an honorable man and a decent senator who, like so many others in Congress and the nation, were fooled by a slick Orwellian propaganda machine. However, that does not relieve you of your obligation to learn the truth and follow your oath to defend the US Constitution.

Senator Burr, first ponder the simple question:

“Why has Obama, for over 2 years, employed numerous private and government attorneys to avoid presenting a legitimate birth certificate and college records?”

Next, read the rest of the article quoted above.

http://www.scribd.com/doc/42576597/LTC-Lakin-A-Sampling-of-Common-Blunders-and-Uncorroborated-Statements-by-Members-of-Congress-about-Obama%E2%80%99s-Birth-and-Constitutional-Eligibility

I will be glad to explain this to you in  more detail, with copies of press releases and court records, but to further get your attention, consider this.

These two characters look like they just left a frat party.

From The Obama File.

“I was looking for a photo to add to the left column, when I re-discovered these photos of the two people who “certified” Obama’s eligibility to serve as POTUS.

They are employees of FactCheck.org, an organization that bills itself as “non-partisan,” but is part of the Annenberg network of liberal-left causes and organizations — just like Bill Ayers’ Chicago Annenberg Challenge — Annenberg, and its causes, are way left of center.

As the world now knows, FactCheck.org published a web page entitled, “Born in the U.S.A. — The truth about Obama’s birth certificate.”  The entire webpage is ONE BIG LIE!

The counterfeit document FactCheck.org is proffering on this page, and refers to as a birth certificate — 31 times — is not a birth certificate — it’s not even real — it’s a bunch of zeroes and ones on a server database.  At least three qualified examiners have said it’s bogus.  But that didn’t stop FactCheck.org from employing Goebbel’s “Big Lie” technique:
    

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie.  It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

   
And it worked!

This absurd webpage, and the bogus document it contains, has been referenced by judges, members of Congress and the ObamaMedia as prima facie evidence that Barack Obama is eligible to serve as Commander in Chief, even though the Obama Campaign has publicly admitted that Obama was — “at birth” — a citizen of Kenya, a British subject and is a “native [born US] citizen” — it’s on their websiteanchor babies are “native born citizens.”

“Native born” citizenship status is different than “natural born” citizenship. “Native born” American citizens are simply not eligible to serve as Commander in Chief.

FactCheck.org identifies their anal-ists as Jess Henig and Joe Miller.  OK, that’s fine, but who and what are Jess Henig and Joe Miller?  Are they qualified to perform an analysis of ANY document, or are they just a couple of guys hanging around FactCheck.org’s office, or are they political operators?  What are their bona fides?  FactCheck.org doesn’t say.  Wonder why?”
“Well, I found out.  The two FactCheck.org employees who were granted access to Obama’s bogus Certification of Live Birth (COLB) are NOT document examiners or experts.  Joe Miller has a Ph. D. in Political Philosophy — so he’s a political operative — while Jess Henig has an M.A. in English Literature — I’m not sure her dye-job is a political or esthetic statement. ”

Oh, Mr. Burr, one more example of why you should take this seriously.

US Constitution Hall of Shame, New Congressmen, Will they listen?, Will they obey the Constitution?, Citizen Wells open thread, November 14, 2010

 US Constitution Hall of Shame, New Congressmen, Will they listen?, Will they obey the Constitution?

“Why has Obama, for over 2 years, employed numerous private and government attorneys to avoid presenting a legitimate birth certificate and college records?”…Citizen Wells and millions of concerned Americans

From the US Constitution Hall of Shame, created in 2008.

““I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the
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.”
Congressional oath of office

 

 
The following Senators and Representatives were added to
the US Constitution Hall of Shame because of their
inaccurate or ambiguous responses to concerns voiced to
them about Barack Obama’s eligibility. The congressmen
provided reponses that ranged from confused to utter
stupidity and party bias. It is recognized that many of
them have been fooled just as many in the public have
been. Some of these congressmen have a consistent
pattern of putting party politics over country. However,
it is hoped that many, when confronted with the facts
relating to Obama’s eligibility and the 2008 election,
will ask questions and endeavor to seek the truth.

Congress will convene on January 8, 2009 to count and
validate the Electoral College votes. This presents an
opportunity to challenge the Electoral College votes and
Obama’s eligibility. It is apparent, that after learning
the truth about Obama’s lack of qualifications, many in
congress will be compelled to demand that Obama provide
proof of eligibility.

Contact these congressmen and make sure they know the truth.
We suggest that you call their office(s).”

Not one member of Congress stood up to challenge Obama’s eligibility before or during the Electoral College certification in January 2009, despite being forewarned and despite their oaths to uphold the US Constitution.

There has been “much water over the dam” since that moment. More of the real Barack Obama has been exposed. More candidates running for office during the last election have been listening to the public, more have aligned themselves with the Constitution and anti big government initiatives like the Tea Party Movement.

I am requesting your input. Of all the new members of Congress, who do you believe is most ready to “walk the walk” and not just “talk the talk” regarding Constitutional issues, including, but not limited to,  Obama’s eligibility.

Supreme Court case Ruben Flores-Villar v US, US citizenship, Obama illegal alien?, Citizen Wells open thread, November 12, 2010

Supreme Court case Ruben Flores-Villar v US, US citizenship, Obama illegal alien?

“Why has Obama, for over 2 years, employed numerous private and government attorneys to avoid presenting a legitimate birth certificate and college records?”…Citizen Wells and millions of concerned Americans

From Kerchner v Obama, filed January 21, 2009.
“43. If Obama was not born in the United States, he cannot gain U.S. citizenship
from his mother because she was only 18 years old at the time of his birth.
Obama’s Father Not a U.S. Citizen

44. Presumably Obama’s mother was a U.S. citizen at the time of his birth.

45. Obama’s father, Barack Obama Sr., at the time of Obama’s birth was a British
subject/citizen subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom, and would have handed
down British citizenship to his son, Obama. Endnote 8.

46. Obama publicly admits his father was not a U.S. citizen and was a British
subject and then a Kenyan citizen when Kenya became an independent country.

47. Hence, at the time of his birth on August 4, 1961, Obama was born to a U.S.
citizen mother but not a U.S. citizen father.

48. Under the definition of an Article II “natural born Citizen,” Obama therefore
cannot be a “natural born Citizen.” Endnote 9.”

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
RUBEN FLORES-VILLAR,
:
Petitioner
:
v.
:
No. 09-5801
UNITED STATES
:
Washington, D.C. Wednesday, November 10, 2010

“JUSTICE BREYER: I didn’t quite follow this. As I understand it, on what — say: On what remedy will there be if you’re right? This is what I don’t understand.

A child is born abroad. One parent is American; the other is foreign. If the two are married, that child is American only if the father or the mother — one or the other — has lived in the United States for now at least 2 years. It used to be more. Okay? Now it’s 5 years after the age of 16.”

“MR. KNEEDLER:”

“Where you have mixed parentage, the background of the enactment of this in 1940 and reenactment in 1952 and continued up to this present day is Congress was concerned that such a child may not have the requisite connection to the United States. They have a connection to the parent, but may not have a connection to the United States such that Congress wanted to grant citizenship to that person. So what Congress did in the mixed citizenship situation was to require prior residency of the parent as a talisman, as the Court said in Rogers v. Bellei, for a connection to the United States of ten years, five years after the age of 14. Congress has liberalized that, but that was the basic thought.”

http://www.supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments/argument_transcripts/09-5801.pdf

No wonder Obama has employed so many attorneys to avoid presenting his records. Obama should be immediately arrested and deported. And by the way, all of the attorneys who have assisted him in violating the law should be arrested and disbarred.

Republicans vow to cut spending repeal health care bill, John Boehner, New Speaker of the House, Citizen Wells open thread, November 5, 2010

Republicans vow to cut spending repeal health care bill, John Boehner, New Speaker of the House

From the Chicago Tribune November 5, 2010.

“Victorious at the polls, congressional Republicans asserted their newfound political strength on Thursday, vowing to seek a quick $100 billion in federal spending cuts and force repeated votes on the repeal of President Barack Obama’s prized health care overhaul.

At the White Houses, Obama said his administration was ready to work across party lines in a fresh attempt to “focus on the economy and jobs” as well as attack waste in government. In a show of bipartisanship, he invited top lawmakers to the White House at mid-month, and the nation’s newly elected governors two weeks later.

Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio, in line to become the new speaker of the House, brushed aside talk that the No. 1 GOP goal was to make sure Obama is defeated at the polls in 2012. “That’s Senator McConnell’s statement and his opinion,” he told ABC, referring to the party’s leader in the Senate and adding that his own goals included cutting spending and creating jobs.”

“Many House Republicans campaigned on a platform of cutting government spending to levels in effect in 2008, before enactment of an economic stimulus bill and other increases that Democrats passed. Rep. Jerry Lewis of California, the senior Republican on the House Appropriations Committee, notified Democrats during the day that GOP lawmakers will try and implement the cuts when Congress considers the spending bill needed to keep most agencies running for the next eight months. The estimated savings total $100 billion.

“The unmistakable message sent by the American people on Tuesday is that they are justifiably angry at Washington. They want Congress to cut spending,” wrote Lewis, who faces an internal challenge in his attempt to become chairman of the panel next year.

At a news conference on Wednesday, the president signaled he was ready to jettison his campaign-long insistence that tax cuts be extended for earners at incomes up to $250,000 but be allowed to expire for higher-income people.”

New Congress action plan, Work together, Create job creation environment, Fix health care, Citizen Wells open thread, November 4, 2010

New Congress action plan, Work together, Create job creation environment, Fix health care

As many of you know, I am not in love with either political party or party politics. Choosing to vote for the Republican Party candidates in 2010 was clearly the lesser of evils, a real no brainer. That being said, any candidate involved in the recent elections should realize that the American public is fed up with status quo from both sides. Come the next election cycle, any candidate, Republican or Democrat who has not listened to their constituents, who has not done the right things for America, who has not upheld the US Constitution, will be booted out of office.

Here is a simple emergency action plan, not a complete agenda.

  • Restore confidence in the business world. Define as soon as possible what the taxes will be and assure business that there will be no hidden health care surprises. This will begin to allow them to consider hiring and expansion.
  • Assure the country that the Tax & Spend Bill, aka Health Care Bill that was rammed down the throats of Americans will be deactivated or disarmed in it’s current state. It has too many negative connotations.
  • At the same time assure the country and reach out to the Democrat Party to achieve real health care reform. Maintain our present quality and then adjust the system beginning with a few goals such as portability and opening up health insurance across state lines.
  • Begin phasing in a series of incentives to small businesses in energy technology and practical residential applications such as passive solar and small scale wind energy. I happen to be knowledgeable in this area.
  • Restore confidence in Congress and our institutions. Begin acting more like statesmen and less like politicians.
  • Lastly, and I believe most important, acknowledge and pledge a new allegiance to the US Constitution as the supreme law of the land.

Obviously I have more to say, but will reserve those comments for the appropriate time.

We have put a bandaid on this country, now is the time to heal it.

God bless and preserve America.

Nancy Pelosi, Buh Bye, Republicans take House

This is a happy day for me and millions of Americans. The Democrat Party has been dislodged from control of the House of Representatives in a huge way. Nancy Pelosi will no longer be Speaker of the House.

Buh Bye Nancy.
