Chicago is Mr. Obama’s hometown. His transition team is operating out of the Kluczynski Federal Building in downtown Chicago. He is known to be a regular reader of the Tribune, Chicago’s principal newspaper, with a daily circulation of over a half-million readers.
The Open Letter to Mr. Obama is a formal Petition for a Redress (Remedy) for the alleged violation of the “natural born citizen” clause of the Constitution of the United States of America. Mr. Obama is respectfully requested to direct the Hawaiian officials to provide access to his original birth certificate on December 5-7 by our team of forensic scientists, and to provide additional documentary evidence establishing his citizenship status prior to our Washington, D.C. press conference on December 8.”
Here is the text of the Letter:

Dear Mr. Obama:
Representing thousands of responsible American citizens who have also
taken an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States of America,
I am duty bound to call on you to remedy an apparent violation of the
Constitution.
Compelling evidence supports the claim that you are barred from holding
the Office of President by the ?natural born citizen? clause of the U.S.
Constitution. For instance:
•
You have posted on the Internet an unsigned, forged and thoroughlydiscredited,
computer-generated birth form created in 2007, a formthat lacks vital information found on any original, hand signed
Certificate of Live Birth, such as hospital address, signature of
attending physician and age of mother.
•
Hawaii Dept of Health will not confirm your assertion that you were bornin Hawaii.
•
Legal affidavits state you were born in Kenya.
•
Your grandmother is recorded on tape saying she attended your birthin Kenya.
•
U.S. Law in effect in 1961 denied U.S. citizenship to any child bornin Kenya if the father was Kenyan and the mother was not yet 19
years of age.
•
In 1965, your mother legally relinquished whatever Kenyan or U.S.citizenship she and you had by marrying an Indonesian and becoming
a naturalized Indonesian citizen.
You have repeatedly refused to provide evidence of your eligibility when
challenged to do so in a number of recent lawsuits. Instead, you have
been successful in having judges declare that they are powerless to order
you to prove your eligibility to assume the Office of President.
Incredibly, the judge in Hawaii actually said it would be an invasion of
your privacy for him to order access to your original birth certificate in
order to prove your eligibility to hold the Office of President.
Before you can legitimately exercise any of the powers of the President
you must meet all the criteria for eligibility established by the Constitution.
You are under a moral, legal, and fiduciary duty to proffer such evidence.
Should you assume the office as anyone but a
bona fide natural borncitizen of the United States who has not relinquished that citizenship, you
would be inviting a national crisis that would undermine the domestic
peace and stability of the Nation. For example:
•
You would always be viewed by many Americans as aposeur – a
usurper .
•
As a usurper , you would be unable to take the required ?Oath orAffirmation? on January 20 without committing the crime of perjury or
false swearing, for being ineligible you cannot faithfully execute the
Office of the President of the United States.
•
You would be entitled to no allegiance, obedience or support fromthe People.
•
The Armed Forces would be under no legal obligation to remainobedient to you.
•
No civilian in the Executive Branch would be required to obey any ofyour proclamations, Executive Orders or directives, as such orders
would be legally void.
•
Your appointments of Judges to the Supreme Court would be void.
•
Congress would not be able to pass any needed legislation becauseit would not be able to acquire the signature of a
bona fide President.
•
Congress would be unable to remove you, a usurper , from the Officeof the President on Impeachment, inviting certain political chaos
including a potential for armed conflicts within the General
Government or among the States and the People to effect the
removal of such a
usurper .In consideration of the escalating constitutional crisis brought on by the
total lack of evidence needed to conclusively establish your eligibility,
I am compelled to serve you with this First Amendment Petition for a
Redress of this violation of the Constitution.
With all due respect, I ask that you immediately direct the appropriate
Hawaiian officials to allow access to the vault copy of your birth
certificate by our forensic scientists on Friday, Saturday and Sunday,
December 5, 6 and 7, 2008.
In addition, I ask that you deliver the following documentary evidence to
the National Press Club in Washington DC by 10 am on December 8, 2008,
marked for my attention:
•
A certified copy of your original, signed ?vault? birth certificate.
•
Certified copies of your reissued and sealed birth certificates in thenames Barack Hussein Obama, Barry Soetoro, Barry Obama, Barack
Dunham and Barry Dunham.
•
A certified copy of your Certification of Citizenship.
•
A certified copy of your Oath of Allegiance taken upon age of maturity.
•
Certified copies of your admission forms for Occidental College,Columbia University and Harvard Law School.
•
Certified copies of any legal documents changing your name.Each member of the Electoral College, who is committed to casting a vote
on December 15, 2008, has a constitutional duty to make certain you are
a natural-born citizen. As of today, there is no evidence in the public
record (nor have you provided any) that defeats the claim that you are
barred by law from assuming the Office of President because you fail the
Constitution?s eligibility requirements.
All state Electors are now on Notice that unless you provide documentary
evidence before December 15, that conclusively establishes your eligibility,
they cannot cast a vote for you without committing treason to the Constitution.
?
In a government of laws, the existence of the government will be imperiledif it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our government is the potent,
the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people
by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a
lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become
a law unto himself; it invites anarchy

Sincerely,
Robert L. Schulz
