Blagojevich trial breaking news, May 28, 2010, Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens refused to delay the June 3 trial

Blagojevich trial breaking news, May 28, 2010

From the Chicago tribune May 28, 2010.

“Supreme Court rules against delaying Blago trial”

“Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens refused today to delay the June 3 trial of former Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

Stevens, who handles emergency appeals from the 7th Circuit Court, turned down a motion from Blagojevich’s lawyers who sought a 30-day delay.

The defense team had argued the trial should be put on hold until the high court rules in several pending cases on constitutional challenges to the law that makes it a crime to deprive the public of “honest services.

Blagojevich faces 24 counts of corruption, including bribery, extortion and racketeering, but several counts include charges of honest services fraud.

Earlier today, Justice Department lawyers urged Stevens to allow the trial to proceed on schedule.

In a 15-page filing, they noted that the judge presiding over the trial has told lawyers not to even mention the term “honest services” in their opening statements to the jury.”

Blagojevich trial, May 28 2010, Blagojevich mug shot released

From the Chicago Tribune May 28, 2010.

“Blagojevich arrest mug shot released”

“The United States Department of Justice has released the official booking photo of Rod Blagojevich, who was arrested at his Chicago home on Dec. 9, 2008 and later impeached and removed from office.

The release came in response to a Freedom of Information Act request made by WGN-Ch. 9.

The then-governor is seen in the jogging suit he was wearing on the morning of his arrest, when federal agents picked him up in the early hours.

Blagojevich is to go to trial on June 3 on federal charges of trying to sell the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Barack Obama, and leveraging the powers of his office to enrich himself and a close ring of associates.

The charges include racketeering, attempted extortion, bribery, conspiracy to commit bribery and conspiracy to commit extortion. ”

Note from above:

“The charges include racketeering, attempted extortion, bribery, conspiracy to commit bribery and conspiracy to commit extortion. ”

Maybe we are being heard.

I am still waiting to hear if the prosecutors responded to the request to delay the trial.

Obama attorneys facts, Obama and attorneys hide Obama birth certificate, College records

Why has Obama employed a legion of private and government attorneys to avoid presenting a legitimate birth certificate and college records?…Citizen Wells and millions of concerned Americans

 

The above is the “deer in the headlights” question.
There is no argument. There is only one conclusion. Obama is hiding his records, his past.
This position is not intended to override or dispense with other arguments related to Obama not being eligible for the presidency. It is simply a way of clarifying what Obama has done. It is a well documented fact with no rational argument against it. When you are discussing Obama’s natual born citizen status or birth certificate, this is the bottom line statement and question.

Reported at CitizenWells.com May 22, 2010.
“Enquiring minds  want to know (you know, us pesky citizen journalists). So I checked the April Quarterly expenditures for Obama For America. The Total Disbursements for that Period were $ 632,263.18.  Well over a third of that total, $ 261,206.69, was paid to the law firm of Perkins Coie.”

Let’s say you are a skeptic. You might ask. Maybe Perkins Coie did other legal work for Obama. They probably have. However, they have spent much time helping obama keep his birth certificate, college records and other records hidden. Let’s examine a legal document from the Court cases of attorney Philip J Berg challenging Obama’s eligibility for the presidency.

“Case 2:08-cv-04083-RBS Document 15 Filed 10/06/2008 Page 2 of 10

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA
PHILIP J. BERG, :

v. : Civ. Action No. 2:08-cv-04083-RBS

“MOTION OF DEFENDANTS
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE AND
SENATOR BARACK OBAMA FOR A PROTECTIVE ORDER
STAYING DISCOVERY PENDING DECISION ON DISPOSITIVE MOTION
Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c)(1), defendants Democratic National Committee
and Senator Barack Obama respectfully move the Court for a protective order staying all
discovery in this action pending the Court’s decision on defendants’ motion to dismiss
the action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and for failure to state a claim upon
which relief can be granted.”

“I. Procedural Background
In his Complaint, plaintiff Berg alleges that Senator Barack Obama, the
Democratic Party’s nominee for President of the United States, is not eligible to serve as
President under Article II, section 1 of the Constitution because, Mr. Berg alleges
(falsely), Senator Obama is purportedly not a natural-born citizen. Complaint ¶3. Mr.
Berg seeks a declaratory judgment that Senator Obama is ineligible to run for President;
an injunction barring Senator Obama from running for that office; and an injunction
barring the DNC from nominating him.

On September 15, 2008, plaintiff Berg served on Senator Obama’s office a
request for production of seventeen different categories of documents, including copies of
all of the Senator’s college and law school applications, requests for financial aid, college
and law school papers, and “a copy of your entire presidential file pertaining to being
vetted.” Plaintiff also served 56 requests for admission on Senator Obama. On that same
date, plaintiff served on the DNC 27 requests for admission and requests for production
of five categories of documents, including all documents in the possession of the DNC
relating to Senator Obama.1

On September 24, 2008, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint for
lack of subject matter jurisdiction and failure to state a claim, on the grounds that, as a
matter of law, plaintiff has no standing to challenge the qualifications of a candidate for
President of the U.S. and has no federal cause of action.”

“In this case, as in Weisman and Norfolk Southern Rwy., defendants’ pending
motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction would dispose of the entire
action. The motion does not involve any disputed issues of fact: defendants contend that,
as a matter of law, plaintiff lacks standing to challenge the qualifications of a candidate
for President and that there is no federal cause of action that could serve as a means for
such a challenge. Thus, discovery is not needed in order to rule on the motion. In these
circumstances, a stay of discovery is warranted and appropriate.”

“For the reasons set forth above, the Court should grant the motion of defendants
DNC and Senator Barack Obama for a protective order staying discovery pending a

decision on their motion to dismiss.
Respectfully submitted,”

This document reveals that Perkins Coie was representing Obama in 2008 in an effort to keep his birth certificate, college records and other records hidden.

Perkins Coie has continued to represent Obama into 2010.
Anyone who continues to argue that Obama  has not hidden his records with the assistance of attorneys is mentally unstable, has severe reading comprehension disabilities or a clear agenda to support Obama to the detriment of this country or some combination of thereof.

Blagojevich trial, Dr Eric Whitaker, Update, May 25, 2010, Eric Whitaker being investigated by feds, Whitaker linked to Obama Blagojevich, Misusing public funds on faith based minority outreach programs

Blagojevich trial, Dr Eric Whitaker, Update, May 25, 2010, Eric Whitaker being investigated by feds

From the Examiner May 25, 2010.

“In yet another scandal-waiting-to-happen linked to the Obama White House, a close friend, advisor and donor of the president’s is being investigated by federal officials for allegedly misusing public funds on faith-based minority outreach programs while he ran the State of Illinois’ health department.

With Obama pal Dr. Eric Whitaker at the helm, Illinois spent millions of taxpayer dollars on highly questionable publicity campaigns to educate African-American and other minorities about common diseases such as AIDS and Herpes in their communities.

Dr. Whitaker was the powerful director of the Illinois Department of Public Health from 2003 to 2007, thanks to a recommendation from his good friend Obama who at the time was a state senator, claims public-interest law group Judicial Watch..

The federal investigation into Whitaker’s minority health programs has been kept under wraps by the Obama Administration but a Chicago newspaper revealed details after obtaining records under the state’s Freedom of Information Act. However, the leftist President’s sycophants within the national news media continue to cover up misdeeds of “all the President’s men — and women.”

Federal grand jury subpoenas obtained by Chicago’s local newspaper disclose that the investigation involves “faith-based initiatives” and health-awareness campaigns funded by the Health Department when Whitaker ran the health agency for the criminally indicted former Illinois Governor-turned court jester Rod Blagojevich.”

“A member of Obama’s tight-knit circle of friends from Chicago’s Hyde Park, Whitaker resigned as Illinois health chief in 2007 to join Michelle Obama as an executive at the University of Chicago.

In 2008, according to Judicial Watch, Whitaker was a fixture within Obama’s presidential campaign and was considered a valued advisor who also helped the then-senator relieve stress with pickup basketball games during campaign stops.

Whitaker and Obama have remained close since meeting during graduate school at Harvard and the doctor has donated money — along with radicals such as Bill Ayers — to Obama’s political campaigns.”

This article was sent to me by a patriot on my email list. However, this is not the first time that Dr. Whitaker’s name has surfaced.

From Citizen Wells September 1, 2008.

“From a Chicago Sun-Times article dated August 23, 2008 about
University of Chicago Medical Center. This is where Michelle Obama
worked as a $317,000 a year vice president. This also is the hospital that nearly tripled her salary in 2004, just after Barack Obama was elected to the US Senate.
“Michelle Obama — currently on unpaid leave from her $317,000-a-year job as a vice president of the prestigious hospital”

“Obama’s top political strategist, David Axelrod, co-owns the firm, ASK Public Strategies, that was hired by the hospital last year to sell the program — called the Urban Health Initiative — to the community as a better alternative for poor patients. Obama’s wife and Valerie Jarrett, an Obama friend and adviser who chairs the medical center’s board, backed the Axelrod firm’s hiring, hospital officials said.”

Another Obama adviser and close friend, Dr. Eric Whitaker, took over the Urban Health Initiative when he was hired at U. of C. in October 2007. Whitaker previously had been director of the Illinois Department of Public Health. Obama has said he recommended Whitaker for the state job, giving his name to Tony Rezko, who helped Gov. Blagojevich assemble his Cabinet. Rezko, a former fund-raiser for Obama and Blagojevich, was convicted in June on federal corruption charges tied to state deals.””

Kerchner v Obama, Update May 24, 2010, Obama 3 enablers, Congress, Courts, Media, Washington Times National Weekly ad

Kerchner v Obama, Update May 24, 2010, Obama 3 enablers

From Charles Kerchner, lead plaintiff in Kerchner v Obama and congress, May 24, 2010.

“New Ad – Obama’s Lack of Eligibility – The Three Enablers of the Cone of Silence in Washington DC – 24 May 2010 issue Washington Times National Weekly – Page 5”

“This “The 3 Enablers of the Cone of Silence in Washington DC” ad shows us who are the three enablers in our American system of government who are permitting Obama’s usurpation of the Office of the Presidency in violation of Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution. Obama was born a British Subject under British Nationality Laws since his father was a British Subject in 1961 and was only visiting the USA.

Obama’s father was never a U.S. Citizen, nor even an immigrant to the USA. Just like McCain is a U.S. Citizen because when he was born in Panama his father was a U.S. Citizen, Obama was a British Subject when born since his father was a British Subject.  How can a person who is born a British Subject ever be considered a “natural born Citizen” of the USA?  The answer is simple, he cannot. The founders of our Republic and the framers of our Constitution intended that a “natural born” Citizen is without any doubt a person born in the country to parents who are both Citizens of the country when their child is born. That was also confirmed in a U.S. Supreme Court decision in 1874 named Minor vs Happersett. Most American citizens are natural born Citizens. Obama’s father was never a Citizen of the USA. Thus, Obama is NOT a “natural born Citizen” of the USA.

The ancient Asian proverb depicted by the caricatures of the institutions who are enabling Obama in by their See, Hear, and Speak no Evil do nothing mode on the issue is classically known in the USA to depict situations where people are turning a blind eye to the obvious. The ad depicts the situation we are in where the Congress is turning a blind eye and will not “look” at or investigate the merits of the charges. The Courts will not “hear” in a trial the merits of the charges. And the Main Stream Media will not “talk” about the merits of the charges and discuss the Constitutional issues involved with the American people nor will they dig into Obama’s sealed and hidden early life records. Their ignoring the questions and concerns of the People in this matter endangers our liberty by demonstrating that those in power, once in power feel they do not have to obey the Constitution and/or listen to the People.

Obama eligibility lawsuits, Update May 22, 2010, Obama attorneys, Perkins Coie, $ 261206 paid to law firm April quarter 2010, Obama hiding birth certificate and college records

Obama eligibility lawsuits, Update May 22, 2010, Obama attorneys, Perkins Coie

You have witnessed the veiled attempts from the mainstream media to cover for Obama. You have heard the irrational responses from rabid Obama supporters, heavy kool aid drinkers. And still, with the help of law firms like Perkins Coie and taxpayer funded government attorneys, Obama continues to hide his birth certificate and college records.

Perkins Coie has been busy.

How much has the Obama camp spent on private and government attorneys? Who knows. Who cares. The important fact is that he is hiding something. Something big.

 Obama for America, in the quarter ending April 2010, disbursed  $ 261,206.69 to Perkins Coie, a  law firm that has represented Obama in multiple eligibility lawsuits.

Yes, the main article is posted at the citizenwell.com site. This is a new format and in the very early stages of development. This blog will continue on as the blog for Citizen Wells. The dot com will be a news site. This will be a long and probably slow process. Commenting will be selectively allowed on the dot com.

I continue to monitor efforts by the Obama camp that include Google and others to hide articles that reveal the truth about Obama. For years I have been in contact with other site owners and writers who are all concerned Americans. The internet continues to be attacked, Blagojevich and Obama potential witnesses continue to drop like flies. We will not be intimidated. We (that’s you and I) will continue to endeavor to get the real news out. We will do whatever it takes.

God bless.
