Meroni V 32 Candidates and the Illinois State Board of Elections, Sharon Meroni appeal, Proof of eligibility for office
“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 Chalice of Patriot’s Heart Radio March 20, 2011.
“The brief for Meroni V 32 Candidates and the Illinois State Board of Elections was entered for the appellant on March 8th, 2011. The Attorney General in Illinois has 35 days to respond, and the appellant, Sharon Meroni, represented by attorney, Stephen Boulton from McCarthy Duffy, will have 14 days to respond. Oral arguments will be requested and likely granted.
I ask you to take the time to read this brief. Mr. Boulton and I are discussing secondary legal steps we would like to take to pave the way for successful litigation of the constitutional issues involved in this case. The 4th Appellate Court is tasked to determine if it will address the procedural errors of the previous rulings and/or the constitutional issues involved.
It is our contention that the Illinois State Board of Elections, procedurally, could have addressed our objections through their subpoena power. In addition, our court action contends current Illinois Code violates US and Illinois Constitutional rights. These are separate and interrelated legal issues.
Keep in mind, this appeal does not discuss Natural Born Citizen directly in the argument. The core argument is that no one in Illinois must prove they are legally qualified (constitutionally eligible as US citizens) to run for any office in the state. It is our contention that the nomination papers should provide the proof to substantiate the candidate’s affirmation that they are legally qualified to hold that office. This is true for all offices. Ultimately, definations for legally qualified will be specific to the office sought.”

“Live free or die.”…New Hampshire state motto
The mainstream media and the US Justice Department have been protecting Obama since 2008. In the LTC Terry Lakin Court Martial last year, Judge Denise Lind addressed the opening up of evidence about Obama’s eligibility in this manner: “opening up such evidence could be an “embarrassment” to the president.” An embarassment means that he is not president.
More states are addresing the issue of vetting presidential candidates during the election cycle. New Hampshire is one of those states.
From the New Hampshire Journal March 9, 2011.
“Presidential candidates who want to be on New Hampshire’s primary ballot next year may have to produce a birth certificate under a proposal being brought before a state House committee.
Election Law Chairman David Bates said his committee will consider a bill Wednesday to require candidates to provide a birth certificate and affidavit swearing they are at least 35 years old and have lived in the United States for 14 years, as called for in the U.S. Constitution to qualify for the presidency.
“They need to produce a certified copy of the long form of their birth certificate and an affidavit swearing to residency,” the Windham Republican said Tuesday.
New Hampshire holds the earliest presidential primaries and takes pride that its voters help launch contenders toward the White House.
Bates said the purpose of the bill is to ensure that only those truly qualified for the presidency are on the ballot. He emphasized that the measure was not aimed at President Barack Obama, and said he may seek to make the bill effective in 2013 after the next election. If New Hampshire sought to make the requirement effective immediately, “then we’ll have a circus,” he predicted.
Meanwhile, House Republican Leader D.J. Bettencourt issued a statement against the measure.
“It is unnecessary and detracts from important business, namely our economy,” he said. “Moreover, this potential amendment could represent a threat to our first in the nation primary as it gives other states reason and desire to try to jump us in line.””

Uphold your oath and duty or get the hell out of office!
From Macon.com March 2, 2011.
“A bill signed by 94 state House members would require all presidential and vice presidential candidates to present a birth certificate to the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office before they can be put on the statewide ballot.
The Presidential Eligibility Assurance Act, House Bill 401, would demand of each candidate a long-form birth certificate, a sworn statement that the candidate has never been a citizen of another country and a confirmation that the candidate has lived in the U.S. for the previous 14 years.
During the 2008 presidential elections, allegations were raised that then-candidate Barack Obama was not a U.S. citizen, which spurred him to release documentation from Hawaii confirming his birth in that state.
Rep. Mark Hatfield, R-Waycross, the lead author on the bill, is skeptical of the documentation.
The document is a certificate of live birth from the state of Hawaii, valid for use in court proceedings and is considered by Hawaii a legitimate birth certificate.
But Hatfield called on Obama to release the actual piece of paper issued at his 1961 birth.
“I’m saying I don’t know where Obama was born,” said Hatfield. “It’s not just an Obama question.
It seeks to fill the void left by Congress” in enforcing Article II of the Constitution on presidential eligibility.”
“GA House Bill HB401 presidential eligibility bill will be changed to protect Obama from having to comply in the 2012 presidential election. Effective date to be changed to July 2013, after the 2012 presidential election. This was announced by GA Rep Hatfield on a radio show appearance last night. Contact GA Rep Hatfield for more details on his proposed language changes to GA HB401.”
“ok
people listen up
need a massive run for the GA house leadership, here is response i got back
from rep supporting the bill
Please understand that I am dealing with recalcitrant leadership which will not allow the bill to move through the committee process. We are trying to get the bill dislodged from subcommittee, and this proposal was made in an attempt to get the House leadership to allow the bill to be considered. The bill would not be required to stay in this form, but we have to try something to get the bill moving. If we don’t get some movement right away, the bill will be dead for the year. You don’t need to convince me that Obama needs to be subject to a law requiring proof of eligibility; I believe it wholeheartedly and have been actively advocating for it for years. Your efforts would be better spent contacting the leadership of the Georgia House and demanding that the bill be allowed to move. Nothing short of massive public outcry is going to get their attention it seems. I would appreciate your efforts and continued support of the bill.”
Georgia of all places. What the hell is wrong with people in this country!
FEC 2008 FOIA request, Philip J Berg lawsuit, Old information viewed with 20 20 hindsight, Citizen Wells exclusive
“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 was going through some old paperwork recently and reexamined a 2008 FOIA request I made to the FEC regarding any information they had about the Philip J Berg lawsuit which had just included them as a defendant. With the clarity of 20 20 hindsight, several items of interest are presented.
The Citizen Wells blog was definitely in the mix questioning many aspects of Obama’s past in 2008. This blog was one of the first entities anywhere to announce the Berg lawsuit due to the efforts of faithful followers. Here are the actual heads up that we received.
“Date: Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 4:24 PM
Subject: About to break news”
“My name is XXXXXXX XXXXXXX of XX. I have been working with Phil Berg on
this project. Here’s the scoop.
Attorney Phil Berg of Philadephia, PA alleges that Obama is not a us
citizen nor his he “natural born” and within the next 30 minutes will
be filing a complaint and motion for a temporary restraining order
prohibiting Obama from running for Office of the President and
enjoining the DNC from naming Obama as a nominee for Democratic
Presidential election.
Go to the US District Court, Eastern District of PA, 2nd floor Clerk’s
Office on 601 Market Street in Philadelphia, PA”
“Date: Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 6:40 PM
Subject: Update from xxxxxxx”
“I just spoke to Phil Berg. The suit is filed in Philadelphia in the
US District Court, Eastern District of PA, at 601 Market St, 2nd
floor District Clerk’s office. There will be an emergency hearing in
the morning to determine if they will issue the temporary injunction
barring him from running anymore.”
On August 21, 2008, the following was reported at Citizen Wells.
“We were given a heads up earlier that a complaint was being filed in US District Court, Eastern District of PA. The complaint is a follows: ”for an emergency temporary restraining order prohibiting Obama from running for president, and enjoining the DNC from nominating Obama as the Democratic presidential candidate.””
Within approx. 24 hours of the filing of Philip J. Berg’s lawsuit, the following memo surfaced. Notice “Re: Victory in Berg v. Obama” What does this mean?
“Interesting! Now what? Who dropped the ball or are we all being duped? Who do you know whom you can forward this to who might be able to help answer this question?” Response from FEC.
“You ask the Commission to consider issues arising in an email circulating on the internet. The email, which is attached to your letter, asserts that a candidate for President is not eligible to be President because the candidate may not be a U.S. natural-born citizen. You ask how the legal requirements for obtaining and maintaining U.S. citizenship would apply to the assertions made in the email.”
“The Act authorizes the Commission to issue an advisory opinion in response to a complete written request from any person about a specific transaction or activity that the requesting person plans to undertake or is presently undertaking.” Observations.
The letter is dated 3 days before the Berg lawsuit.
The wording above indicates to me that the person who sent the email and the person who wrote the letter are likely involved in the election process as election officials or are involved in a political party.
The following comments are particularly interesting.
“Interesting! Now what? Who dropped the ball or are we all being duped?”
“Should everyone wait til later to see if this hits the fan?”
The FEC response states “your inquiry does not qualify as an advisory opinion request.”
However, the FEC website states:
“Election Administration
The FEC’s Office of Election Administration (OEA) serves as a central exchange for information and research on issues related to the administration of federal elections on the state and local level.”

“Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism.”
“Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples’ liberty’s teeth.”
“The Constitution is the guide which I never will abandon.”
“Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains to bring it to light.”
George Washington
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice John Jay, on
July 25, 1787, wrote the following to George Washington:
“Permit me to hint, whether it would be wise and seasonable to provide
a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration
of our national Government; and to declare expressly that the commander
in chief of the American army shall not be given to, nor devolve on any
but a natural born citizen.”
One expects socialist, anti American and anti Constitution remarks and positions from the modern day Democrat Party. Now many of the Republicans are following suit. Consider these disgusting examples from John Boehner, Mike Huckabee and now Sarah Palin who are apparently RINO’s.
It is one thing to be ignorant or apathetic about Obama’s history and eligibility. It is quite another to refer to presidential eligibility as being extraneous or a distraction. This is a total disregard for the US Constitution and we will not tolerate it!
Mike Huckabee Obama eligibility extraneous, US Constitution extraneous, Huckabee book interview
“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
Mike Huckabee was recently interviewed by George Stephanopoulos about his book “A Simple Government.” During the interview Huckabee was asked about the controversy about Obama’s citizenship. Mike Huckabee committed 2 unforgiveable errors.
Instead of correcting George Stephanopoulos about using citizen interchangeably with natural born citizen, he followed the Orwellian line.
Huckabee then stated that the issue was extraneous, effectively stating that the natural born citizen clause and the US Constitution are extraneous.
This will not be tolerated.
I am requesting that you send this far and wide and bombard Mike Huckabee and the Republican party with our response to this unacceptable behaviour. We will no longer tolerate this disregard for the US Constitution and rule of law.
Let’s make an example out of Mike Huckabee. Perhaps the others will then take notice.
Representative Sue Myrick’s office must demand impeachment of John Roberts, Roberts swore in ineligible Obama, Duty to 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
“It is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial
department to say what the law is. Those who apply the rule to
particular cases, must of necessity expound and interpret that
rule. If two laws conflict with each other, the courts must
decide on the operation of each.”
“If then the courts are to regard the constitution; and the
constitution is superior to any ordinary act of the legislature;
the constitution, and not such ordinary act, must govern the
case to which they both apply.”
“The judicial power of the United States is extended to all
cases arising under the constitution. Could it be the intention
of those who gave this power, to say that, in using it, the
constitution should not be looked into? That a case arising
under the constitution should be decided without examining the
instrument under which it arises? This is too extravagant to
be maintained.”
“Why does a judge swear to discharge his duties agreeably to the
constitution of the United States, if that constitution forms no
rule for his government? if it is closed upon him, and cannot be
inspected by him?”… Chief Justice Marshall opinion, Marbury versus Madison
Reported on Citizen Wells on February 9, 2009.
“From Sue Myrick’s office.
Polk, Andy :Andy.Polk@mail.house.gov
“ohhh- I understand it correctly based on US Supreme Court cases interpreting
what “natural born citizen” Constitutionally means. Had he not met the
definition, Chief Justice Roberts, the worlds leading Constitutional scholar,
would not have sworn him in because he would have violated his duty to uphold
the Constitution. You can argue with me all you want on this issue, but I can
do nothing for you on this point. The only thing you can do, if you feel so
strongly about Obama not being a citizen, is file a lawsuit in federal court.””
As reported, an email was sent to Sue Myrick’s office on February 5, 2009 and no reponse was received.
The governor of Hawaii, Neil Abercrombie, has found no record of a birth certificate for Obama in Hawaii.
Tim Adams, a elections clerk in Hawaii in 2008, has signed an affidavit stating that there was no birth certificate for Obama in Hawaii in 2008.
Obama, for well over 2 years, has employed numerous private and government attorneys to avoid presenting a legitimate birth certificate and college records.
Since Supreme Court Justice John Roberts has failed in his duty to uphold and defend the US Constitution by failing to interpret and clarify the natural born citizen clause and more seriously, swearing in Obama, who was clearly not eligibible to be president, he should be impeached. Andy Polk of Sue Myrick’s office stated “he would have violated his duty to uphold the Constitution. ” He did!
Representative Sue Myrick, are you going to do your sworn duty to uphold the US Constitution?

Raul Labrador birth certificate comment, CPAC speech, Freshman member of Congress, Obama birth certificate hidden
“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 Hill February 10, 2011.
“A Republican lawmaker made a subtle “birther” jab at President Obama during a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
Rep. Raúl Labrador (R-Idaho), a freshman member of Congress who was born in Puerto Rico, joked that he had a birth certificate to prove his American heritage.
“I am fortunate to be born American, and I have the birth certificate to prove it,” Labrador said at a speech at the opening session of this weekend’s conservative gathering in Washington.
The joke is an allusion to some critics’ suspicion that Obama was not actually born in the United States, and thus, under the U.S. Constitution, is not legally eligible to be president. Obama has produced a copy of his birth certificate showing he was born in Hawaii, a U.S. state.”
Obama history best predictor, There are no surprises, Obama birth certificate, Muslim influences, Corruption ties, Radical associations
“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
“Perhaps the sentiments contained in the following pages, are not YET sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favour; a long habit of not thinking a thing WRONG, gives it a superficial appearance of being RIGHT, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason. As a long and violent abuse of power, is generally the Means of calling the right of it in question”
“The present state of America is truly alarming to every man who is capable of reflection. Without law, without government, without any other mode of power than what is founded on, and granted by, courtesy. Held together by an unexampled occurrence of sentiment, which is nevertheless subject to change, and which every secret enemy is endeavoring to dissolve. Our present condition is, Legislation without law; wisdom without a plan; a constitution without a name; and, what is strangely astonishing, perfect independence contending for dependence. The instance is without a precedent, the case never existed before, and who can tell what may be the event? The property of no man is secure in the present un-braced system of things. The mind of the multitude is left at random, and seeing no fixed object before them, they pursue such as fancy or opinion presents. Nothing is criminal; there is no such thing as treason, wherefore, every one thinks himself at liberty to act as he pleases.”…Thomas Paine, “Common Sense”
Common Sense Too
Is anyone who has examined the history of Barack Obama surprised at the chain of events that have played out over the past years? No. Debates, discussions and analyses have continued on about the economy, jobs, foreign policy and even the religion of Obama, when all one has to do is look at Obama’s past. He has kept hidden much of his past but even that is a solid indicator of his intentions and why his past is secret.
Let’s examine one of the simple aspects of Obama, his religion. One cannot look into his heart directly, but regardless of one’s profession, one’s acts are the window to the soul. Obama’s past associations clearly reveal a strong Muslim influence as well as radical theologies such as those espoused by Jeremiah Wright. Ideas that certainly are not Christian and in many cases are anti semitic. So why would anyone be surprised about the turmoil in Egypt?
The economy. Why would anyone paying attention be surprised about the economy and jobless rate. Obama has been enmeshed in socialism and redistribution of wealth for many years. Obama and his liberal, socialist buddies have been spending like drunken sailors with no regard for the impact on hard working Americans. Obama’s involvement with and support from ACORN should have been warning enough.
Now to the core of the problem. It appears that many politicians do not want to touch the Obama eligibility issues. This is not a political issue, it is a constitutional issue. The impression is that the problem will go away with the next presidential cycle. That Obama will be removed then. They are wrong.
The same forces and thought processes that drove Obama to hide his past and associate with Anti American elements still guide him. Obama eligibility issues, his extreme efforts to hide his birth certificate and college records are symptomatic of deeper problems. His utter disregard for the US Constitution is the larger problem and is why Obama must resign or be arrested. It is also why Congress and the courts must take this out of the political realm and into the sanctum of the rule of law. There is no other duty and priority higher than this.
Congressman Paul Broun, Obama eligibility, US Constitution, Broun response, Broun Paul Boehner no more status quo
“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
We have come to expect anti American unconstitutional positions from the Democrats. The following actions and attitudes from Republicans are unacceptable.
When asked about challenging Obama’s eligibility during the certification of Electoral College votes in 2009.
“If I did that, I would be laughed out of Congress.”…Ron Paul, December 2008
The day of the reading of the US Constitution in the House of Representatives, Speaker Boehner allowed “citizen” to be used interchangeably with “natural born citizen.”
Speaker of the House John Boehner was interviewed by Brian Williams last friday after the reading of the US Constitution in the House Chambers and the shout of “Except Obama, except Obama” when the Natural Born Citizen clause was read. Williams continues the Orwellian tradition of the mainstream media of obfuscating the Obama eligibility issues by using citizen instead of Natural Born Citizen. Boehner, as Speaker of the House, should know better and should have corrected Williams. Otherwise, we have just another Pelosi look alike.
From The Post & Email February 2, 2011.
“I sent the following email to my U.S. congressman, Rep. Paul Broun:
Dear Rep. Broun,
I saw your interview following the SOTU with CBS.
I think it is imperative that just ONE elected Representative in D.C. stand up for the Constitution. I am PRAYING you are that hero. Barack claims that his father is Barack Sr., a British/Kenyan subject/citizen. It makes no difference where he was born, by our Constitution, he is not eligible as a dual citizen. He has admitted his dual citizenship on his own website, and in his own writings.”
“Rep. Broun’s response:
Thank you for recently contacting me with your kind remarks regarding the strong stances I have taken in Congress. Your words were very encouraging, and I am excited to hear that you are engaged in the political process.
In these tough times we must all work together to make America better for future generations. For my part, I will continue to fight for life, fiscal responsibility, and transparency in government. I hope that you will join this fight and encourage your friends and family to be as engaged as you are.”
The response from Congressman Paul Broun’s office appears to be a form letter, standard response. We need to contact Paul Broun and educate him. Once again, when you are discussing Obama’s eligibility issues with congressmen or those around you, keep it simple. While I agree that Obama is not a natural born citizen due to his father being British/Kenyan, it is subject to debate. Ask the non debatable question first.
“Why has Obama, for over 2 years, employed numerous private and government attorneys to avoid presenting a legitimate birth certificate and college records?
Next mention that the Governor of Hawaii, Neil Abercrombie, could find no birth certificate for Obama.
Then inform them that Tim Adams, who worked in a Hawaii elections office in 2008, has signed an affidavit stating that there was no birth certificate in Hawaii for Obama in 2008.
If they mention the COLB, inform them it is a document that refers to another document and is not proof of birth in Hawaii.
Obama AZ 2008 certification signature, Obama not natural born citizen, Obama must resign or be arrested
“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
We now know for a fact that Obama has no birth certificate in Hawaii and is not a natural born citizen of the US. Obama must resign immediately or be arrested. Reprinted from Citizen Wells December 7, 2008. The day that goes down in infamy.
I just received this from MoniQue of the moniquemonicat blog:
“This is MoniQue from moniquemonicat blog. I sent requests to 50+ Secretary of State offices through the Public Records Act (PRA) requesting Obama’s original filing papers for each state and some other docs too.
Attached is one I just got back from THE SOS IN ARIZONA.
A NOTARIZED AND SIGNED BY OBAMA SWEARING AND CERTIFYING HE IS A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. HIS SIGNATURE IS ON THIS DOCUMENT TESTIFYING HE IS “A NATURAL BORN U.S. CITIZEN.”
I think this document is important because it is HIS word [which I believe to be a lie] that he is a natural born us citizen. He says “i do solemnly swear he is a natural u.s. born citizen”
So this would be one document to urge others to request from the SOS Public Records Act (not the Freedome of Information Act (FOIA) because the FOIA is FEDERAL so that is why a lot of the SOS would not provide this stuff when I first submitted my requests to them.
EITHER WAY, CAN YOU PLEASE POST THIS ON YOUR SITE?”
“I got other documents back but thought this one says it all AND IN HIS OWN HAND is pretty significant. Really shows the audacity of lying.”
