OpenGov - Open Government Brainstorm

Demand what?

"Have you heard one Republican come out and openly demand it?"

No. In fact, republican right-wing comentator Michelle Malkin is the one who came up with the "Birther" label.

It is almost as fishy as how if Bush didn't ask for the first $700,000,000,000 bail-out, Obama certainly would not have gotten the trillions he has.

How about McCain lobbying FOR it! Making it all happen.

We the people are definitly being scammed.

Yes, transparency is not a partisan issue; members of BOTH parties ought to come clean and be accountable not merely on the campaign trail but also once elected.

Why no answer?

More questions, and this time some good questions.

in the middle of the Obama birth issue, Paul Hollrah over at FSM did so yesterday and believes the issue can be resolved by Obama answering one simple question: What passport did he use when he was shuttling between New York, Jakarta, and Karachi?

So how did a young man who arrived in New York in early June 1981, without the price of a hotel room in his pocket, suddenly come up with the price of a round-the-world trip just a month later? And once he was on a plane, shuttling between New York , Jakarta , and Karachi , what passport was he offering when he passed through Customs and Immigration? The American people not only deserve to have answers to these questions, they must have answers.

It makes the debate over Obama's citizenship a rather short and simple one.

Q: Did he travel to Pakistan in 1981, at age 20?

A: Yes, by his own admission.

Q: What passport did he travel under?

A: There are only three possibilities. 1. He traveled with a U.S. Passport, 2) He traveled with a British passport, or 3) He traveled with an Indonesia passport.

Q: Is it possible that Obama traveled with a U.S. Passport in 1981?

A: No. It is not possible. Pakistan was on the U.S. State Department's "no travel" list in 1981.

Conclusion: When Obama went to Pakistan in 1981 he was traveling either with a British passport or an Indonesian passport.

If he was traveling with a British passport that would provide proof that he was born in Kenya on August 4, 1961, not in Hawaii as he claims. And if he was traveling with an Indonesian passport that would tend to prove that he relinquished whatever previous citizenship he held, British or American, prior to being adopted by his Indonesian step-father in 1967.

Whatever the truth of the matter, the American people need to know how he managed to become a "natural born" American citizen between 1981 and 2008.. Given the destructive nature of his plans for America, as illustrated by his speech before Congress and the disastrous spending plan he has presented to Congress, the sooner we learn the truth of all this, the better.

Count me in as one of those inquiring minds who'd at least like to know the answers to these easily answered (by Obama) questions.

I also wonder why our Republican Senators and Representatives are not calling for the truth on Obama's certificate. Since Obama's election, I don't think I've heard the Republicans say "boo" to him. I can't help wondering if we need to throw everybody out and put in a completely new set of people.

I had already requested my representitive to look into Houdy Dudy's eligibility before congress confirmed the electorial vote. I cited the areas of concern and my republican representitive refered me back to the offending document as proof. How stupid does the representitive think I am? The information will be released when they run for re-election.

The answer to the question of the republicans knowing is a definate YES.

yes,the republicans are betraying the country too by not demanding it,why they wont is a big mystery,I have been trying to get something done,I believe it all goes to show the replublicans are just as bad,they are all working for the same evil group,its a scary time indeed,obama the fraud is a trojan horse

We are in trouble, we are being devided, devide and counsqer, they don't want the system (THEIR SYSTEM) (EITHER SIDE) to be ended, they just want the control of it, to control us. However this forum shows that there is hope, we are waking up in droves.

Senator Mel Martinez (R-FL) responded to my question on the issue by affirming that the Constitution does indeed mandate that the Office of the President of the United States be occupied by a natural born Citizen, but that "The Constitution, however, does not specify how that qualification for office is to be enforced." He references the Berg v. Obama case that was brought before the courts in October which was dismissed, after which he states "The court further noted that voters, not courts, should decide whether a particular presidential candidate is qualified to hold office."

I am like...WTF? Here is Berg, A VOTER, asking for documentation to support a decision one way or another and he is (as well as others) SLAPPED DOWN at every turn. How can ANY VOTER make a judgement when we are denied access to the documentation that can settle the issue once and for all.

I just have to reiterate what has been said over and over...why NOT release the long form, vault, copy or whatever you want to call it? Whatever legal copy that tells us where he was born, not where his birth is "registered." I mean geeeeez, the Senate investigated McCain's citizenship even though he was born of two natural born Citizens one of which was assigned to serve this very country on the foriegn soil at the time of his birth.

The BC is only one of the many questionables that surround this man. I know there are many "conspiracy theorists" that will follow any and ever rumor, assumption and crazy writing or utterance to prove themselves right, but I am not one of them. It is very reasonable that we, the voters, should have access to documents to clarify legitimate questions of Citizenship and - dare I say it - radical affiliations.

This is all very bizarre, indeed.

Boycott the GOP in the next election. That's the only thing they'll understand.

I beleive we are correctly bringing the BC issue to light, letting then know that it isn't going away. However, we should also equally be posting, pressing the issue of why the brown shirts known as ACORN are't being brought to justice. We should be making an equal number of posts incouraging people to contact their local "Tea Party" orginizers and greatly increase the numbers for the 4TH of july. This could well be our last chance to get free.

There is something very fishy about this two party one party system.For quite a while now too.

I watched videos of Reps trying to get Congress to stop all the subprime loans that were going on but Barney Frank and others kept saying nothing was wrong. I sent those videos to Rep party. Never heard a word about them. Watched Juan McCain sit there and let B.O blame the economy on Reps. and Bush. He never saId a word about them and their subprime loans. Noone is stupid enought to think they don't know about the New World Order. Hell If I know about the NAU and the NWO they damn sure should.But do you hear one Rep mentioning it. Do you see them do anything at all. The only ones I would trust are the ones who are voting against amnesty.

I am afraid we woke up too late. Today on NumbersUSA it saId that 700 people from Pro Amnesty Groups showed up in Washington today. Too many powerful groups ..even the NAACP...even tho blacks are losing jobs and no hopes of kids getting out of school getting a job. And yet they throw their people into the fire and go for amnesty. They are all paid off.

They are all in it together. We don't know who our enemies are. But when Bush/Kennedy got together for their amnesty plan I knew we were screwed. they want the New World Order and we don't know who our enemies are.

Hell we can't even get rid of one party. How we gonna get rid of two. I figure by next yr most people will be sorry they voted for B.O. but it won't matter. By that time he will have so many illegals here voting for him that our votes won't count.

I say that we need to vote OUT the representatives who refuse to take this issue seriously! DON'T ABANDON THE PARTY, THOUGH!. There will be new faces who are going to run who WILL stand up for the constitution of our nation.

Dear Friend of the Constitution,

Update on The biggest political cover up in American history

Worse than Watergate, Whitewatergate, or any of the other cover ups of previous administrations, is the question of whether Barack Hussein Obama is eligible to serve as President of the United States of America... OR, is he a FRAUD, a USURPER, a man with no legal authority to sit in the position that he now claims to hold?

Barack Obama could simply put the issue to rest RIGHT NOW by releasing his ACTUAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE! But he WON'T! Instead, he has had teams of attorneys all over the country, fighting "tooth and nail" to thwart the efforts of the United States Justice Foundation (USJF), and our allies in a number of states, to compel him to produce an ACTUAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE and to prove that he is Constitutionally eligible to serve as President of these United States!

HELP US EXPOSE THE OBAMA COVER-UP -- DON'T LET HIM

RIP OUR CONSTITUTION TO SHREDS!

Ohio, Mississippi, Hawaii, and California! These are the states where USJF has been involved in lawsuits seeking an answer to this critical constitutional question!

And now, in California, just like in every lawsuit filed over this issue, the Obama team of attorneys, working with liberal allies in the office of California Attorney General Jerry Brown, has convinced a Sacramento County Superior Court judge to dismiss USJF's suit to force the truth to come out about whether Barack Obama is a "natural born" citizen, and, therefore, eligible to serve as President of the United States.

BUT WE'RE NOT GIVING UP! Our clients in this case, including 2008 candidate for President of the United States, Alan Keyes, have given USJF the go ahead to file an appeal of this decision!

AND THAT'S WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO -- BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP TO DO IT!

HELP US EXPOSE THE OBAMA COVER-UP -- DON'T LET HIM

RIP OUR CONSTITUTION TO SHREDS!

A number of apologists for Barack Obama have gone to great lengths to belittle USJF and our allies in the fight to preserve our Constitution. However, the questions that they cannot answer are:

If Barack Hussein Obama has nothing to hide, WHY doesn't he just make his real birth certificate public? WHY has he spent a almost $900,000.00 in attorney fees, for, among other things, fighting USJF's efforts to obtain his ACTUAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE? The more that he fights these efforts to see this document, the more that you have to wonder, WHY?

Obama supporters want everyone to believe that only "fringies," the people that they now call "birthers," in other words, only people that they claim are outside of the main stream of thinking, question whether Mr. Obama is truly eligible to serve as President of the United States of America. But the truth of the matter is that more and more people, including many federal, state, and local elected officials, AND many in the military, are questioning whether Barack Hussein Obama is, indeed, a "natural born citizen," a Constitutional requirement for him to serve as President of these United States.

The citizens of this country have the right to know if Barack Obama is, indeed, eligible to serve as President! And we here at the United States Justice Foundation are going to take our lawsuit all the way up to the United States Supreme Court, if that is what is necessary, to find out the answer to this critical question.

This fight to discover the truth will be neither easy nor inexpensive, but isn't protecting the Constitution worth it? And that is exactly what this legal battle is all about,

PROTECTING THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION!

HELP US EXPOSE THE OBAMA COVER-UP -- DON'T LET HIM

RIP OUR CONSTITUTION TO SHREDS!

Barack Obama wants you to ignore what he is doing, he wants you to ignore the U.S. Constitution, he wants you to think that the parts of the Constitution that he does not agree with (like the requirements to serve as President) are unimportant.

In effect, he wants to destroy the U. S. Constitution and reshape this country into his own image of what he wants it to be.

And Barack Obama's attorneys have now taken another big step to destroy the Constitution of the United States -- this time in a California State Court. Those attorneys, working with liberal California State Attorney General Jerry Brown, convinced the Judge in our case to rule that only Members of Congress can challenge the qualifications of Mr. Obama, or any candidate, to serve as President.

And, the Judge further ruled that such a challenge could only be made on the 6th day of January following the meeting of the Presidential electors, at the session of Congress where the vote of the Electoral College is counted and the results announced. To use the Judge's words, this is "the exclusive means for challenges to the qualifications of President..."

That means that no one, except a Member of Congress, and only on one certain day of the year following the Presidential election, can challenge the qualifications of a President-Elect! And then, the challenge can only be successful if a majority of the Members of Congress support the challenge! And that means that the politicians, not the people, are in control of who becomes President if there is an eligibility issue!

Is that what you want? Do you believe that the majority party in both Houses of Congress should be deciding who is eligible to serve as President? Do you want Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, or Harry Reid deciding who is President?

That means that the requirements of the U. S. Constitution as to the eligibility of the man or woman who runs for President to serve as President are meaningless!

Do you believe that the Constitution is a meaningless document? Do you believe that a majority of the Members of Congress have the right to ignore it? To render it of no force and effect?

The Trial Court Judge in our case did! But we are not going to accept his decision. We are not going to accept the legal arguments made by Barack Hussein Obama's attorneys, and those by attorneys from liberal California Attorney General Jerry Brown. We are going to keep fighting this monumentally important legal battle all the way up to the United States Supreme Court, if that is what is necessary.

IT'S A BATTLE THAT WE MUST FIGHT!

IT'S A BATTLE THAT WE MUST WIN!

IT'S A BATTLE THAT WILL DECIDE WHETHER THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL REMAIN A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC, OR WHETHER WE WILL JOIN THE DUST HEAP OF HISTORY AS JUST ANOTHER FAILED EXPERIMENT!

USJF IS IN A BATTLE THAT COULD CHANGE THE HISTORY OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY! -- but we need YOUR help to WIN!

IT'S A BATTLE TO SAVE OUR CONSTITUTION!

IT'S A BATTLE TO SAVE OUR COUNTRY!

HELP US EXPOSE THE OBAMA COVER-UP -- DON'T LET HIM

RIP OUR CONSTITUTION TO SHREDS!

We MUST learn the truth about whether Barack Obama is a "natural born citizen!

But to blunt our efforts to learn the truth, the Trial Court also blocked our subpoena for the college records of Mr. Obama! These vital records could have proven whether Barack Hussein Obama is eligible to serve as President of the United States, or whether he is a USURPER, a FRAUD, sitting in the oval office without any legal authority to do so!

What is in those records? We do not know. But the Obama legal team pulled out all of the stops to block the subpoena, so we believe that there is something in those college records that bears on the critical issue of whether Barack Obama is eligible to serve as President of the United States.

JUST LIKE WE BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A REASON WHY THE OBAMA LEGAL TEAM, ACCORDING TO A PUBLISHED REPORT, HAS BEEN PAID OVER $800,000.00, and as much as almost $900,000.00, TO KEEP THE PUBLIC FROM SEEING HIS REAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE -- NOT THE PHONEY ONE THAT HE PUT UP ON HIS WEBSITE.

There is no doubt in my mind that this e-mail may be the one of the most important documents that you ever read!

What you do after reading this e-mail may well determine the fate of the United States of America!

Please know that we are not saying that Barack Hussein Obama is not eligible to serve as President of the United States of America. The problem is we just do not know!

We do know that Barack Obama's maternal step-grandmother has proclaimed that she was present at his birth in Mombasa, in what is now Kenya, in Africa!

We do know that a fake birth certificate was put up on Obama's website!

We do know that Mr. Obama's legal team is doing everything that it can, in every case filed over this issue; to make sure that no one has access to his birth certificate.

We do know that Mr. Obama's legal team is doing everything that it can, in our California case; to make sure that no one has access to his college records.

DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT!

HELP US EXPOSE THE OBAMA COVER-UP -- DON'T LET HIM

RIP OUR CONSTITUTION TO SHREDS!

The voters of the United States of America have the right to know whether Barack Obama is a "natural born citizen," as REQUIRED by the U. S. Constitution!

It's a question that MUST be answered!

Why? Because, if an unqualified person was elected to the Office of President of the United States, our entire form of government could be compromised!

Why?

Because, if Barack Hussein Obama is not eligible to serve as President of the United States, each and every act that he takes as President will be null and void! That's right, each bill that he signs into law, every Executive Order that he issues, and each and every one of his nominations to his Cabinet and to the federal courts will have no legal effect!

I don't make that statement lightly. It's not an exaggeration.

Article 2, Section 1, Clause 4 of the United States Constitution provides, in pertinent part, as follows: "No Person except a natural born Citizen... shall be eligible to the Office of President..."

That means that neither Osama Bin Laden, nor California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, nor Obama billionaire money man George Soros can serve as President of the United States. That also means that if Barack Obama was born outside of the United States, he is not eligible to serve as President of our great country!

So where was Mr. Obama born?

He claims to have a copy of his birth certificate. That means that either he knows where he was born, or he's lying about having that document.

And only Barack Hussein Obama's ACTUAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE can answer that question of where he was born. But he has teams of attorneys, all across the country, spending, and doing, whatever it takes to make sure that no one, and I mean NO ONE, will be allowed to see the one document that can clear up this controversy

Mr. Obama has claimed that his Presidential administration will be the most transparent in history. Yet, he will not make public the one document that could end all of the questions about the legitimacy of his election as President.

And you have to ask yourself, WHY?

Is it because this is some unimportant "technicality"? No, a requirement of the U. S. Constitution is not a mere "technicality"!

Is it because "President" Obama (if he is the President of the United States) has more important issues to deal with, and can't spare the time to deal with such a trivial issue? No, what is more important than the integrity of the Office of the President?

Or, is there something more involved?

Another question that the Obamaphiles don't want to answer is why, in 2005, was a law firm with ties to Mr. Obama researching the question as to how to evade the requirements of Article II of the United States Constitution, regarding the requirements to serve as President. 2005? Three years before the Presidential campaign?

If that doesn't raise questions in your mind, then nothing will!

And then there's the statements made by representatives of the State of Hawaii!

According to Dr. Chiyome Fukino, of the State of Hawaii's Department of Health,

"Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawaii, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of Health has Sen. Obama's original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures."

Exactly what does that mean? If she can access it, why can't we? It is that very record that USJF financed lawsuits in Mississippi and in Hawaii were seeking to force into the public arena! But Obama's attorneys, and his allies in state government, stopped those efforts cold!

So, the time of decision is now!

Do we give up?

Do we just ignore this threat to our Constitution? To our very form of government?

We here at USJF say NO!

Now is not the time to give up this fight!

Now is not the time to walk away from the most important Constitutional battle in our lifetime!

Now is the time to redouble our efforts to find out the truth!

Now is the time to tell Barack Hussein Obama that the United States Constitution is far more important than his political ambition!

But we can only do this with your help! With your financial support, and with the financial support of everyone that you know!

HELP US EXPOSE THE OBAMA COVER-UP -- DON'T LET HIM

RIP OUR CONSTITUTION TO SHREDS!

Will you stand with us?

Sincerely,

Gary Kreep, Executive Director

United States Justice Foundation

P.S. This is the biggest political cover-up in American history! It would be so simple to release the documents to PROVE Obama is a natural-born citizen... IF THEY HAD THE DOCUMENTS!

Barack Hussein Obama thinks he can get away with DUPING the American people and DESTROYING the U.S. Constitution. DON'T LET HIM DO IT!
