Petition the Supreme Court -- The following e-mail comes from one of our sponsoring advertisers. Through their support, GOPUSA can continue to bring you the best array of conservative news, information, commentary, and discussions. | UPDATE: Our efforts to compel Senator Barack Obama to produce a valid birth certificate in order to prove that he is constitutionally eligible to be President of the United States ARE TAKING OFF!
As you may already know, we recently filed suit in California to push the issue and, at this very moment, we're helping to fund the suit in Mississippi. We are in communication with other states that have suits in process; and we're putting plans into action to file suits in additional states as well!
But, because our efforts are taking off, that also means we need your help!
According to a recent headline in WorldNetDaily, Team Obama tried to dismiss efforts to demand that he prove his eligibility to hold the office of President of the United States as "GARBAGE"!
But they're taking the matter a little bit more seriously NOW! With each passing day, Team Obama is finding it harder and harder to dismiss the question.
Team Obama would love for this issue to simply die or go away. We're NOT GOING TO LET THAT HAPPEN!
If you're committed to this fight, but that means we need your help NOW MORE THAN EVER to keep going!
Wouldn't it be great if we could issue this challenge in EVERY STATE WHERE SENATOR OBAMA WON?
You can make that happen!
Protecting The Constitution Is Not "GARBAGE".
Team Obama: "All I can tell you is that it is just pure garbage."
According to the WorldNetDaily headline above, that was the retort of an Obama campaign spokesperson when asked about complaints requesting that Senator Obama produce a valid Birth Certificate to prove that he is constitutionally eligible to be President of the United States.
"Garbage" ...?
Article 2, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States, states, "No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."
Enforcing the Constitution of the United States is NOT "garbage" and furthermore, securing the rights of the people under the Constitution is NOT "garbage"!
The Obama campaign's response is an elitist, condescending slap in the face to patriotic Americans. No one is above the law and Team Obama cannot make the question of Obama's eligibility go away by disrespecting the American people - and by inference, the Constitution of the United States.
That's why we filed our action in California, an action that Senator Obama will not be able to ignore... an action that will not go away!
That's why with your help, we're going to expand these efforts!
In fact, in my humble opinion... we will ONLY "LOSE" if we do NOT have the resources we need to carry on for as long as it takes, and we will "win" as long as we can carry on this fight (more on that later).
SO PLEASE KEEP READING... I promise that when you're done, you will agree that we have filed the mother of all actions.
What About Other Court Actions? How Is The USJF Action Different ...
In a nutshell, the courts are ruling that petitioners in other court actions lack standing!
While we don't necessarily agree with that premise, the petitioners in our action HAVE STANDING!
We state in the Petition we initially filed with the court in California:
"The parties in this case have standing to bring this litigation, due to the fact that Dr. Keyes and Dr. Drake, Sr., are candidates on the California ballot for President and Vice President of the United States, and Mr. Robinson is an Elector for the Keyes-Drake ticket, and Vice Chairman of America's Independent Party, of Fenton, Michigan, which nominated Dr. Keyes for President. He is also a Chairman of the American Independent Party (California), which nominated Dr. Keyes and Dr. Drake for President and Vice President, respectively. Based on the foregoing, it is imperative for SOS to be provided proof that Senator Obama is a 'natural born' citizen." |
Alan Keyes and Wiley Drake were actually on the ballot in California and Markham Robinson is an Elector for Keyes-Drake.
If Keyes and Drake and Robinson don't have standing, one would be hard-pressed to find ANYONE who has standing and if the court attempts to use the lack-of-standing argument, it's an implied admission that NO ONE has standing to enforce the Constitution!
The Usurper-in-Chief...
Now... a dose of reality. Frankly, a case of this magnitude could be in the courts for years. There are no quick solutions... BUT THAT'S OKAY.
The key is in the following statement which also appears in the Petition:
"Should Senator Obama be discovered, after he takes office, to be ineligible for the Office of President of the United States of America and, thereby, his election declared void, Petitioners, as well as other Americans, will suffer irreparable harm in that an usurper will be sitting as the President of the United States, and none of the treaties, laws, or executive orders signed by him will be valid or legal."
Part of that statement bears repeating:
"... none of the treaties, laws, or executive orders signed by him will be valid or legal."
In other words, as long as this case is in the courts, a cloud hangs over Senator Obama's head and for the sake of our Constitution and our Republic, the issue MUST be resolved!
If President Obama issues an Executive Order to rescind the Mexico City Policy and allows the tax dollars of Americans to fund organizations that promote abortions overseas, the door to question the legitimacy of that Executive Order remains open.
If President Obama signs a treaty with an unfriendly power or the United Nations, the door to question the legitimacy of that treaty remains open.
If President Obama signs a bill granting amnesty to illegal aliens into law, the door to question the legitimacy of that law remains open.
If President Obama appoints new Commissioners to the FCC who bring back the so-called Fairness Doctrine, the door to question those appointments and the legitimacy of the actions taken by his appointees remains open.
That's not to say that he can't or won't be able to fulfill the duties of his office, but until this matter is resolved... until he can validate that he is constitutionally eligible to be President of the United States, the door will always remain open to question and challenge the legitimacy of his actions and the dire consequences of those actions.
In short... as long as we have the resources to fight, we're ahead of the game!
That's where you come in.
This Is A Fight To The Finish.
To be brutally blunt, a case of this magnitude may not be won or lost on the merits.
I'm very proud of USJF's accomplishments over the past 29 years.
We've defended members of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps.
USJF led the fight on both the appellate and trial court levels to protect the right of all families in California to home-school their children.
We've testified before the United States Senate on Supreme Court appointees.
But all that won't really matter. It won't matter which side has the most skilled attorneys. Talent, competence and experience do not assure victory.
Here's the bottom line.
Team Obama presently has THREE LAW FIRMS at its disposal - and a seemingly unlimited ability to raise funds from the far-left for re-enforcements.
Three law firms potentially translates to scores of attorneys and possibly hundreds of clerks who can literally throw paperwork at us until we crack under the sheer pressure and cry uncle.
They'll stall and delay and throw work at us so fast, so furiously and for so long... then they'll wait for us to break under the strain and give up. Or so they think...
Team Obama doesn't fear our skill or the merits of our case.
The ONLY THING THEY FEAR IS YOU!
They hope and pray that you will not support our efforts or that you will grow tired of the fight. Conversely, what they fear most is that you will join us and support our efforts!
They know that if you support us, we'll have the ability to take on additional clerical and research staff, cover court fees, file briefs and take on outside counsel on an as-needed basis.
That's why they're praying you don't help us... but we're praying that you do!
USJF wasn't approached by a group of hot-shot movers and shakers. We took on this burden because like you we love this great country and we REFUSE to stand idly by while the Left disrespects the Constitution, the American people and our electoral process.
USJF is a nonprofit public interest, legal action organization. We go where others fear to tread. We're adept at taking on vastly superior forces. And we're committed to hitting the trenches on this one and willing to get bloody if we must.
That's our promise to you.
But, in the end, our commitment and our "pit-bull" determination doesn't amount to a hill of beans.
Winning or losing is NOT in our control... and it's not in Team Obama's control... IT'S IN YOUR HANDS!
A lot of folks are very angry over Barack Obama's refusal to validate his eligibility to be President of the United States.
Is it worth a TAX DEDUCTIBLE effort of $5000 or $2500 or even $100 or $50 or $25 to defend the Constitution, the rights of Patriotic Americans under the Constitution and the integrity of our electoral process?
Is it worth forwarding this e-mail to your family and friends with a personal note asking them to join the fight?
The choice is now up to you.
Please help us and after helping us, please forward this e-mail to everyone in your address book.
We're in... how about you?
In His Service
