Below is a copy of the Divorce Decree between Stanley Ann Soetoro
and Lolo Soetoro that became final on Nov 6 1980. The decree
granted divorce and child custody. The document reveals several
important details about the marriage dissolution. However, the
most important revelation is that Barack Obama and his sister
Maya had been legally adopted by Lolo Soetoro:
“The parties have 1 children below age 18 and 1 chidren above 18
but still dependent on the parties for education.”
This information is not mandatory to disqualify Obama from the
presidency, however it is more compelling evidence that demands
that Obama must step forward with proof that he is eligible.
Citizen Wells Ranks Obama’s eligibility problems as following:
1. Obama’s birth father was a citizen of Kenya under British rule. This
fact alone means that Obama is not a natural born citizen.
2. There is no legal evidence that Obama was born in Hawaii and
much compelling evidence that Obama was born in Kenya.
Dr. Orly Taitz has has requested a re-file petition of Lightfoot v. Bowen,
to Chief Justice John Roberts of the US Supreme Court.
Cover Letter
Request to Re-file Petition; Lightfoot v. Bowen with Chief Justice John Roberts
Dear Justice Roberts,
This is an open cover letter and it is being posted on the Internet, YouTube, and will be read on a number of radio stations, particularly radio stations around military bases, forwarded to Congress, Senate, Governors of the States and mass media. This legal action, as 20 other actions filed in the past few months, is seeking judicial intervention due to the fact that Mr. Barack Obama, whose father was a Kenyan-British citizen, is not a Natural Born Citizen and is not eligible to be the President of this country.
It also states that Mr. Obama did not prove his citizenship at all, since the state of Hawaii allows issuance of Hawaiian Birth Certificates to foreign born children of Hawaiian residents and there is mounting evidence that Mr. Obama was not born in Hawaii, whereby he will not be a citizen at all.
The plaintiffs in this action are a vice-presidential candidate on the ballot, electors and voters. The majority of the plaintiffs have served many years of their lives in the U.S. military and risked their lives pursuant to their oath, to defend the Constitution of this country against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
The plaintiffs and other members of the U.S. military are deeply concerned about the fact that none of the cases related to Mr. Obama’s lack of eligibility were heard on their merits. The plaintiffs are also concerned about the following: You have recorded a program “Conversations with Chief Justice Roberts.” Numerous high schools students were flown in to D.C. and participated in a discussion about the Constitution, law and the Supreme Court with you.
This program was fully funded by the Annenberg foundation, as it clearly states on the video released, and it appears that as a Chief Justice of the Supreme Court you consider Annenberg to be a reputable organization, supporting the Constitution and you support their efforts. The problem with it is that Annenberg has been employing on their Annenberg Challenge Board, William Ayers, a non-repentant terrorist that participated in the bombing of a police headquarters in 1970, the Capitol building in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972. As late as 2001, Mr. Ayers stated in a NY times interview: “I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel I didn’t do enough.”
From 1995, the Chairman of Annenberg Challenge was none else, but Mr. Barack Obama. Annenberg has created an offshoot, called FactCheck.org, Annenberg political FactCheck, that was supposed to provide an unbiased checking of the facts. In reality, Annenberg FactCheck has actively and intentionally defrauded the American public in leading them to believe that Mr. Obama is a natural born citizen and is eligible for the U.S. presidency. Annenberg FactCheck intentionally omitted:
Definition of
Law of Nations(Emmerich De Vattel), stating that a natural born citizen is one that is born in the country to parents who are citizens. They omitted a statement by John A. Bingham, framer of the 14th amendment, stating that a natural born citizen is one that was born in the U.S. territory to parents that don’t owe allegiance to any other sovereignty. Due to the fact that Mr. Obama’s father was not a U.S. citizen and owed his allegiance to Kenya and Great Britain, Mr. Obama did not qualify as a natural born citizen and does not qualify for the presidency.
FactCheck intentionally omitted Hawaii statute 338, that allows foreign born children of Hawaiian residence to obtain a Hawaiian Certification of Live Birth (COLB).
It omitted the fact that such certification can be obtained based on a statement of one relative only without any corroborating evidence.
It omitted the fact that there was no corroborating evidence of Mr. Obama’s birth from any hospital, nurse or hospital administrator from Hawaii, while there were numerous statements from Mr. Obama’s Kenyan grandmother, Baptist Bishop and ambassador of Kenya about Mr. Obama being born there. If that is the case, Mr. Obama is not a U.S. citizen and will need to apply and wait for his Green Card.
As of now, the American public has only information from Annenberg, a political organization, some of whose members have very questionable moral qualities (to say the least).
My clients, as well as 300 million American citizens, including thousands of members of the military that are asked to risk their lives to defend the Constitution of this country would like to know if the Supreme Court Justices, particularly Chief Justice Roberts, (who will swear in the President on the Bible) are willing to give a few hours of their time to hear the Oral Arguments in defense of our Constitution. They want to know if the justices believe in the Constitution on which this country was built, or whether they are prepared to tear it apart in favor of some new world order.
“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.”

Hall of Shame
2008 Man of the Year
Senator Barack H Obama
Barack Obama is named the US Constitution Hall of Shame Man of the Year
for obvious reasons. Obama, whose father was a Kenyan citizen and under
British rule, and therefore not a natural born citizen and not eligible
to be president, has worked all of the 2008 election year to steal the
presidency. What is even more scary, is that Obama was probably born
in Kenya, not a US citizen at all and therefore an illegal alien.
Barack Obama has thumbed his nose at the US Constitution, rule of law
and American people. His arrogance and “me me me” attitude is a product
of the “government owes me” mentality and Chicago crime and corruption
that engenders a position of being above the law. Obama has looked
down upon the US Constitution despite taking an oath to “support and
defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies,
foreign and domestic”
Obama’s disregard for the rule of law goes back for many years to strong
ties to crime and corruption in Chicago and Illinois involving such
corruption figures as Rezko, Levine, Blagojevich and many others and
continues as he attempts to avoid proving he is eligible to be
president. Here are some prominent examples of Obama’s flagrant disregard
for the US Constitution and Rule of law.
Barack Obama has run for the office of President of the United States and
is clearly not eligible. For his own selfish gain he has ignored the US
Constitution, unfairly impacted other candidates and disenfranchised
millions of voters. He has also obtained millions of dollars of campaign
donations under fraudulent circumstances and caused many others to spend
enormous amounts of time and money trying to expose Obama’s fraud.
Here are some facts regarding Obama’s eligibility:
One of the hallmarks of the Obama camapaign was repeated attempts to
discredit those questioning Obama. This included massive internet armies
utilized by the Obama camp to make personal attacks on internet users
and websites, prominent people like Jon Voight and many others as well
as scrubbing internet data and attempts at revisionist history. Many
voters and campaign workers were harrassed and theatened during the
primaries and general election. The Obama camp even threatend news
organizations.
Consider the following from Missouri Governor Matt Blunt:
“What Senator Obama and his helpers are doing is scandalous beyond words……
abusing the justice system and offices of public trust to silence political
criticism with threats of prosecution and criminal punishment. This abuse
of the law for intimidation insults the most sacred principles and ideals
of Jefferson. I can think of nothing more offensive to Jefferson’s thinking
than using the power of the state to deprive Americans of their civil
rights. The only conceivable purpose of Messrs. McCulloch, Obama and the
others is to frighten people away from expressing themselves, to chill free
and open debate, to suppress support and donations to conservative
organizations targeted by this anti-civil rights, to strangle criticism of
Mr. Obama, to suppress ads about his support of higher taxes, and to choke
out criticism on television, radio, the Internet, blogs, e-mail and daily
conversation about the election. “Barack Obama needs to grow up……Enlisting
Missouri law enforcement to intimidate people and kill free debate is
reminiscent of the Sedition Acts
– not a free society.”
In Obama’s own words:
“I want you to argue with them and get in their face…You are my Ambassadors”
Obama quoted in San Francisco Gate, by Kathleen Hennessey, September 17, 2008
Philip J Berg states:
“Defendants (Obama and DNC) are attempting to change our United States
Constitution without proper due process of law by allowing Obama to continue
his campaign and continue seeking election as the President of the United States,
knowing he is not a “natural born” citizen and the fact he may not even be a
“naturalized” citizen.”
Barack Obama visited Kenya in 2006 and campaigned for his far left leaning
cousin Raila Odinga. Obama was in possible violation of the Logan Act but at
the very least was guilty of “High crimes and misdemeanors.” Here is an exerpt
from the official Kenyan Government response to Obama’s visit:
“RESPONSE TO AMERICAN SENATOR BARACK OBAMA’S POORLY INFORMED COMMENTS
ABOUT TERRORISM, WANTED GENOCIDE CRIMINALS AND GOVERNANCE IN KENYA”
“Senator Barack Obama indicated that he was visiting Africa to help nurture
relations between the continent and the United States. His mission, therefore,
was warmly welcomed by the Government and the people of Kenya. The fact that
he has roots in Kenya endeared him to the people of this country.
However, during his public address at the University of Nairobi, Senator Obama
made extremely disturbing statements on issues which it is clear, he was very
poorly informed, and on which he chose to lecture the Government and the people
of Kenya on how to manage our country.”

Obama lied on his Illinois Bar Application by not listing his aliases
and having multiple oustanding traffic tickets. He then relinquished
his law license early to avoid prosection.

A letter received from Senator Robert Menendez of
New Jersey regarding Barack Obama’s eligibility issues:
“Thank you for contacting me regarding your support for the cases
brought before the Supreme Court regarding President-Elect Obama’s dual
nationality at birth. Your opinion is very important to me, and I
appreciate the opportunity to respond to you on this vital issue.
These cases allege that President-Elect Obama’s Hawaiian birth
certificate is counterfeit or that he may have dual citizenship.
However, based on state health department records, Hawaii state
officials have confirmed that Barack Obama was born August 4, 1961,
in Hawaii. That means he is a natural born citizen, and thus, eligible
to serve as President of the United States.
As you may have heard, on December 8, 2008, the US Supreme Court turned
down the emergency appeal in one of these cases. Other appeals have been
dismissed in the federal courts of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Washington State.
Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. I appreciate your
support. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I may be of more
assistance. I invite you to visit my website (http://menendez.senate.gov)
to learn of other important issues to New Jersey.
Sincerely,
ROBERT MENENDEZ” Senator Robert Menendez stated:
“These cases allege that President-Elect Obama’s Hawaiian birth
certificate is counterfeit or that he may have dual citizenship.”
It is apparent that senator Menendez is not up to speed on the court
cases in the US Supreme Court and state courts. The counterfeit aspect,
pertains to Versions of Obama’a alleged COLB, not a birth certificate,
that have been placed on the internet. This is not one of the major
arguments. It is documented, not conjecture, that Obama had dual
citizenship. Obama’s father was Kenyan, under British rule. The
remaining question is whether Obama had Kenyan or US citizenship as
well.
Mr. Menendez then stated:
“However, based on state health department records, Hawaii state
officials have confirmed that Barack Obama was born August 4, 1961,
in Hawaii.”
Hawaii Health Dept. Officials never stated that Obama was born in
Hawaii. See below.
Mr. Menendez then stated:
“That means he is a natural born citizen, and thus, eligible
to serve as President of the United States.”
Being born in Hawaii is not sufficient to make Obama a natural born
citizen. If it did, then British citizens vacationing in Hawaii and
delivering a child would enable that British child to be president.
Mr. Menendez then stated:
“As you may have heard, on December 8, 2008, the US Supreme Court turned
down the emergency appeal in one of these cases. Other appeals have been
dismissed in the federal courts of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Washington State.”
What is Senator Menendez trying to say here? It is obvious that he does
not have a clue.
“A press release was issued on October 31, 2008, by the Hawaii Department
of Health by its Director, Dr. Chiyome Fukino. Dr. Fukino said that she
had “personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of
Health has Senator Obama’s original birth certificate on record in
accordance with state policies and procedures.” That statement failed to
resolve any of the questions being raised by litigation and press accounts.
Being “on record” could mean either that its contents are in the computer
database of the department or there is an actual “vault” original.”
“Further, the report does not say whether the birth certificate in the
“record” is a Certificate of Live Birth or a Certificate of Hawaiian Birth.
In Hawaii, a Certificate of Live Birth resulting from hospital documentation,
including a signature of an attending physician, is different from a
Certificate of Hawaiian Birth. For births prior to 1972, a Certificate of
Hawaiian Birth was the result of the uncorroborated testimony of one witness
and was not generated by a hospital. Such a Certificate could be obtained up
to one year from the date of the child’s birth. For that reason, its value
as prima facie evidence is limited and could be overcome if any of the
allegations of substantial evidence of birth outside Hawaii can be obtained.
The vault (long Version) birth certificate, per Hawaiian Statute 883.176
allows the birth in another State or another country to be registered in
Hawaii. Box 7C of the vault Certificate of Live Birth contains a question,
whether the birth was in Hawaii or another State or Country. Therefore,
the only way to verify the exact location of birth is to review a certified
copy or the original vault Certificate of Live Birth and compare the name of
the hospital and the name and the signature of the doctor against the
birthing records on file at the hospital noted on the Certificate of the
Live Birth.”
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the
Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and

A letter received from Representative John Tanner of

“Thank you for contacting our office regarding the allegations that
President-Elect Barack Obama was not born in the United States. I
appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with me on this
issue.
There are claims that President-Elect Obama was born in Africa and not
in the United States which would make him ineligible to become
president. The Obama campaign released a scanned copy of his birth
certificate in June 2008, but many people believe it was a forgery.
The non-partisan organization Political Fact Check (this group monitors
the factual accuracy of political information) has examined Mr. Obama’s
birth certificate and they report that it is valid and he is a U.S.
citizen. I have included a link to a Newsweek article that was written
on this subject and includes links to pictures of the birth certificate
(http://www.newsweek.com/id/154599).
Again, thank you for sharing your views with me and I hope you will feel

The Obama campaign has never produced a birth certificate despite
many attempts in court to force him to. Obama, instead has spent
hundreds of thousands of dollars and employed numerous attorneys
to avoid provong eligibility.
Mr. Tanner then stated:
“The non-partisan organization Political Fact Check (this group monitors

Factcheck.org is hardly non-partisan and Obama has ties to them via
his Annenberg connections and support.

As you know, some have suggested that President-elect Barack Obama
may have been born outside the U.S. and is not a “natural born citizen”
eligible for the presidency. During the presidential campaign,
President-elect Obama voluntarily posted his birth certificate on his
campaign website indicating he was born in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1961.
Media accounts report that Hawaiian officials verified health department
records and determined there is no doubt that Mr. Obama was born in
Hawaii.
You may be interested to know that concerns surrounding President-elect
Obama’s citizenship are the subject of at least one legal challenge

President-elect’s constitutional eligibility for the presidency
on several occasions. State officials in Hawaii have also

Most of the readers and commenters of the Citizen Wells blog are
intelligent and well informed. It is sad that many members of
Congress are uninformed or do not care about this country.
Here is a commenter’s response to the letter:
“Congressman Sarbanes,
The Democratic National Committee as well as the Republican National
Committee are private entities. They are not responsible to check to
see if their candidate is qualified to be President of the US,
although they should. The Secretaries of State should be the persons
responsible to check a candidate’s qualifications. By all reports I
have read all 50 Secretaries of State relied on both the DNC, the RNC,
and the minor parties committees as the authority to provide qualified
candidates. Proof of this is the fact that the Socialist Workers Party
provided a candidate, Roger Calero, who was on several states ballots
even though he was born in Nicaragua. Since this has failed, you are
part of the checks and balances, that we the people have vested upon
you to insure our Constitution is upheld.
The Second Amendment to the Constitution specifically states as a
requirement, “natural born citizen” for president and vice president.
This is different than a citizen, or a naturalized citizen.
President-elect Obama was born to a father who was a citizen of the
United Kingdom. Further he has not provided a legitimate copy of his
birth certificate, he most likely lost his US citizenship if he had it
when he was adopted in Indonesian, he also traveled to Pakistan in 1981
or 1982 when US citizens could not legally travel there. He is NOT a
natural born citizen he is at best a citizen but more likely an illegal
alien. Why has he spent around $800,000 in defending himself in these
various lawsuits instead of providing a $12 document where many of
these cases would go away?
His birth certificate on his website has been proven to be false and
even if it was a legitimate certificate, that particular kind of
certificate is one in which a person born outside the US could obtain.
What is being requested is the long form where it states the doctor
who delivered him and the hospital where he was born.
The statement from the Hawaiian officials stated the fact that they
have the original document, that is all. They never released it, nor
did they confirm that he was born in Hawaii.
The Supreme Court has NOT reviewed the merits of the cases and have
NOT dismissed the cases. They denied the requests to stay the election.
Many lawsuits are pending at both the state and federal level.
I understand you are a democrat and want to see a democrat in the white
house. However, you took an oath to uphold the Constitution. I
seriously hope that you review the facts and do your duty.

Dear Mrs. xxx:
Thank you for your recent correspondence regarding the eligibility

As you may know, the Senate unanimously passed S.Res.511, recognizing
that Senator McCain is a natural born citizen. This measure came about
in response to questions that were raised with respect to Sen. McCain’s
eligibility due to the fact that he was born outside of the United
States to U.S. citizens while his father was serving in the U.S.
military. In President-elect Obama’s case, such legislation was not
deemed necessary because claims that Mr. Obama is constitutionally
ineligible for the nation’s highest office are unfounded. No credible
evidence has surfaced to call into question his eligibility to run.

contends that even the Certification of Live Birth displayed by Mr. Obama
is a forgery based on forensic evidence. I am also sure you have had
ample opportunity to study the Wrotnowski vs. Byslewicz case which is
scheduled for conference at the Supreme Court on 12/12/08.
Please believe me when I tell you I am neither a conspiracy theorist nor
am I normally politically vocal. Having said that, I must strongly
disagree with your contention that “No credible evidence has surfaced to
call into question [Mr. Obama’s] eligibility….”
With all the court cases being brought regarding this subject (twelve to
my knowledge with four that have made it to the Supreme Court), and Mr.
Obama spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to have an entire legal
team deal with these questions, why does he not choose to simply end the
questioning by producing the long-form Birth Certificate? Why does he
prefer to spend all this time and money when closure of this issue is
literally one phone call away? With all due respect, Mr. Sensenbrenner,
Mr. Obama is acting very strangely regarding this issue.
Please do one small favor for me. When you see Mr. Obama face to face,
would you please ask him why he does not simply request that the State of
Hawaii bring out a copy of his long-form Birth Certificate? If he gives
you a logical answer that you can relay to me, I will be completely
satisfied with that. Please do not let potential partisanship and the
fact that I am only one of the ‘little people’ out here prevent you from
asking him such a simple, valid, and easily answered question. Thank you
very much.
“A press release was issued on October 31, 2008, by the Hawaii Department
of Health by its Director, Dr. Chiyome Fukino. Dr. Fukino said that she
had “personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of
Health has Senator Obama’s original birth certificate on record in
accordance with state policies and procedures.” That statement failed to
resolve any of the questions being raised by litigation and press accounts.
Being “on record” could mean either that its contents are in the computer
database of the department or there is an actual “vault” original.”
“Further, the report does not say whether the birth certificate in the
“record” is a Certificate of Live Birth or a Certificate of Hawaiian Birth.
In Hawaii, a Certificate of Live Birth resulting from hospital documentation,
including a signature of an attending physician, is different from a
Certificate of Hawaiian Birth. For births prior to 1972, a Certificate of
Hawaiian Birth was the result of the uncorroborated testimony of one witness
and was not generated by a hospital. Such a Certificate could be obtained up
to one year from the date of the child’s birth. For that reason, its value
as prima facie evidence is limited and could be overcome if any of the
allegations of substantial evidence of birth outside Hawaii can be obtained.
The vault (long Version) birth certificate, per Hawaiian Statute 883.176
allows the birth in another State or another country to be registered in
Hawaii. Box 7C of the vault Certificate of Live Birth contains a question,
whether the birth was in Hawaii or another State or Country. Therefore,
the only way to verify the exact location of birth is to review a certified
copy or the original vault Certificate of Live Birth and compare the name of
the hospital and the name and the signature of the doctor against the
birthing records on file at the hospital noted on the Certificate of the
Live Birth.”

A letter received from Senator David Vitter of Louisiana
regarding Barack Obama’s eligibility issues:
“Thank you for contacting me with concerns about President-elect
Barack Obama’s citizenship status. I appreciate hearing from you
on this important issue.
I am deeply concerned about many policies the incoming Obama
Administration may promote, including nominations of liberal judges
who do not follow a strict interpretation of the Constitution, higher
taxes on Louisiana families and businesses, fewer opportunities for
domestic energy production, and more. I will continue working in the
U.S. Senate against things like these and to promote policies that
will grow our economy and follow our Constitution.
As you know, Article II, Section I of the Constitution requires that
candidates for president must be natural born citizens, at least
thirty-five years old, and residents of the United States for fourteen
years. Hawaii state officials have verified that President-elect Obama
was born in Honolulu on August 4, 1961, making him a natural born
citizen. To this point, the U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear
cases contesting Obama’s citizenship status, leaving in place the lower
court rulings. I will continue to monitor this situation and any cases
on this matter in our courts.
Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts on this important issue.
Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future about other issues
important to you.
Sincerely,
Senator David Vitter
United States Senator”
Senator Vitter, as a Republican I would have expected you to be
better informed on this subject.
Senator Vitter stated:
“Hawaii state officials have verified that President-elect Obama
was born in Honolulu on August 4, 1961, making him a natural born
citizen.”
Hawaii state officials did not state that Obama was born in Hawaii.
Being born in Hawaii is not sufficient to make Obama a natural born
citizen. If it did, then British citizens vacationing in Hawaii and
delivering a child would enable that British child to be president.
Senator Vitter then stated:
“the U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear cases contesting Obama’s
citizenship status”
First of all, Philip J Berg’s lawsuit is still alive before the US
Supreme Court. Secondly, much of what the Supreme Court has refused
to review was emergency stays. So far there has been no dismissal due
to explicitly stated lack of merit.
