The INS once raided a place at which I worked. The head agent interviewed everyone at the company. If he felt that they were an illegal alien he had them taken to anaother room.
When the head agent interviewed me I told him that I had a dual citizenship. He asked me what the other country was and when I answered him he had someone with a gun on their hip escort me into the room after calling me dirty names.
The owner of company was right there watching all of the inteviews. 30 minutes later I was let out of the room with no apology from the INS agent.
The story made the local papers and within 90 days the INS agent got demoted to some lowly job at the INS. I got go keep my dual ciizenship.
I think all government employees should be screeed to insure that they too are American citizens just like I was.
Should Congress People Be Required To Read A Bill Before Voting On It?
Right now members of Congress are not required to read bills before voting on them. Most Congress People rely on a summary from a staffer to brief them on the bill.
Is this sufficient for should the rules of Congress be changed so that all members of Congress are required to read a bill in its entirety before voting on it.
This could be accomplished by putting the bill up on a teleprompter while Congress is in session and have someone read it outload to the members of Congress. Thoses members not in attendance during the reading would not be allowed to vote on the bill.
Why is this important. Members of Congress are the lawmakers in America. Each year they vote on hundreds of bills that come out of committee. The bills if passed by the House and Senate, each has their own version of the bill, is then sent to the President for his signature so that the bill becomes the law of the land.
It seems to me that it is important that the duley elected members of Congress who write and pass these bills should know what is in them before signing them.
This is what one website is saying. This is posted in order to present clearly why the birthers feel it is important that Mr. Obama show the American public his long form birth certificate.
Some would consider what is written by Dr. Polarik to be extreme. It should be noted that this information is available on his website and therefore is public information accessible by anyone with internet access.
Dear Bret:
Congratulations to you and FOXNEWS for being the first news agency to bring Obama’s birth certificate controversy into the mainstream.
This controversy, however, goes far beyond the question of Obama’s citizenship status — it also raises the specter of President Obama’s involvement in document fraud.
What the Obama campaign actually posted on its website on June 12, 2008, is a forged document image and not a real copy of Obama’s birth certificate. I spent five months conducting intensive research on the document images alleged to have been made from Obama’s “original birth certificate.” My research proves that the document image posted on Obama’s website and on other pro-Obama websites, was fabricated using Photoshop, and that no such document actually exists.
My final research report and executive summary can be found here: http://polarik.blogtownhall.com
Obama’s campaign manufactured this bogus birth certificate to deceive the American public into believing that Obama was born in Hawaii, and was therefore eligible to be President. This forgery was also used to derail attempts to see his actual original birth certificate which undoubtedly contains birth information that differs from what his fabricated birth certificate image shows. The reason why Obama still refuses to release his original birth certificate is because it would confirm that he is not eligible to be President, that he lied about his history and citizenship status, and that he engaged in document fraud to hide these facts from the American public.
To help cover up this scam, Obama’s campaign called upon patently partisan, pro-Obama “fact checking sites” like Factcheck and Politifact to proffer, protect, and promote this fabricated image as being a real copy of Obama’s actual birth certificate, and to engage in slander and public ridicule of anyone having the audacity to question its validity.
In every news conference that he’s had up until now, Obama and his Press Secretary have side-stepped all of the questions raised about his birth certificate, including the use of intimidation of reporters to do so. When Press Secretary Gibbs said that “The state of Hawaii provided a copy, with a seal, of the president’s birth,” it was a bald-faced lie. Hawaii never produced a Certification of Live Birth document for Obama, with a date-stamp of June 12, 2007.
Furthermore, Hawaii denied that Obama, a family member, or someone Obama personally authorized, ever requested and received a copy of this alleged Certification of Live Birth (COLB) in June 2007 or in any other month of that year.
Not one governmental official, in Hawaii or in any other place in the nation, has ever seen this COLB document in person, let alone validate it as genuine.
The reason is simple: this document does not exist and never did. Hawaii announced that it has Obama’s original birth record, but has refused to reveal what’s on that record. Hawaii never confirmed where Obama was born, and if he had been born in Honolulu as Obama claims, Hawaii would not have any reason to withhold that information.
What has unfolded is a genuine conspiracy to commit document fraud. This bogus birth certificate constitutes a false identification document, and is a violation of federal forgery laws punishable by five years in prison (for each count) and up to a $250,000 fine. Not only were federal forgery laws violated, but also Hawaiian forgery laws, as well.
That, Bret, is the untold story here. Why would a President risk committing document fraud just to prevent his original birth certificate from ever being seen?
The answer must be that the information it contains would spell the end of his Presidency and his charade as well. He would be exposed as a fraud and a usurper, and the political landscape would be forever changed, along with how the media shapes public policy.
