So much for those pledges of "open government."

So much for those promises of "change."

So much for his upcoming oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America.

Barack Hussein Obama is still refusing to disclose to the American public something as innocent and as basic as his full, undoctored birth certificate to establish beyond any shadow of a doubt – and that doubt is growing daily – that he is a natural-born American citizen.

Ironically, now that the election is over, the pressure is building. A few bold members of Congress are getting interested in demanding hearings on the issue. The lawsuits are increasing. More pundits and activists are beginning to mobilize.

I, too, am raising the stakes.

Beginning today, I am personally sponsoring a petition campaign right here at this Internet news source, to all controlling legal authorities to determine Barack Obama's eligibility for the presidency under Article 2, Section 1, of the Constitution and to use all of their persuasive powers to make this information freely available to the rulers of this country – we the people.

also pledge that this news organization will continue to pursue its own independent investigation as aggressively as it possibly can.

To date, here is what we have done:

• Dispatched senior staff reporter Jerome Corsi twice to Hawaii to investigate the matter, including an appeal to the governor.
  
  
• Hired a battery of private investigators in Hawaii to check every hospital for birth records – to no avail.
  
  
• Sent Corsi to Kenya where he talked with some of Obama's relatives who clearly recall the birth taking place in Mombasa. (While there, Corsi was detained by Kenyan officials and a press conference he had scheduled was canceled at the last minute at the order of Prime Minister Raila Odinga, who has since made clear he has expectations of payback from soon-to-be President Obama.)

I tell you all this because despite the shroud of secrecy over the birth certificate issue, there are some organizations out there insisting it is all a tempest in a teapot – that the issue is settled, that the birth certificate has been released, that Obama has been determined to be eligible by some mystery authority.

One such organization, Factcheck.org, characterizes any who question its assertion that this matter is settled as conspiracy mongers. But, as for me, when it comes to matters as important as the Constitution of the United States, I do not accept the opinion of armchair researchers. Nobody – not one news organization in the world – has devoted more resources to investigating this matter than has WND.

I hope you will now join me in this fight for truth, justice and the American way by signing the petition. Help me spread the word. Let's turn up the heat. Send this column and the petition far and wide. Share it with your neighbors. Honor the Constitution. Save this country's most vital institutions and its honor. Seek the truth. Demand accountability.

Time is running out.

The Electoral College is due to convene Dec. 15 – less than a month.

Barack Obama is to be sworn in as the next president Jan. 20 – less than two months from now.

Do you believe the American people have a right to know for certain their next president is constitutionally eligible for the job?

Without a chance to inspect that birth certificate for themselves, do you think we can ever be certain?

If the Constitution is not taken seriously as concerns the eligibility of the president, is it likely to be taken seriously in other matters?

If you don't take responsibility and initiative on this issue, I am convinced no one else will.

Take your stand for accountability, truth, the rule of law and the Constitution.

Sign the petition now.

E-mail it to all your friends.

Online effort launched to answer presidential eligibility question

WASHINGTON – WND today announces the launching of an online petition designed to enlist the public's help in demanding evidence of Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility for the office of the presidency.

The electronic petition calls on all controlling legal authorities to take seriously the matter of where and when and to whom Obama was born and whether he qualifies as a "natural-born American citizen," according to Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution.

"This is a very unusual step for us to take," said Joseph Farah, founder, editor and chief executive officer of the leading independent online news source. "I have long resisted the temptation toward corporate activism – even avoiding the tradition of corporate editorial positions and political endorsements. We do those things individually as columnists and pundits, but WND has rarely engaged in taking editorial stands as most newspapers do."

But Farah says he was inspired to cross the divide on this issue because the clear and simple meaning of the Constitution is at stake. He writes more about this in his daily column today

No news organization or anyone else has investigated this matter more thoroughly, devoted more manpower to it, committed the financial resources to it or taken it more seriously," Farah said. "Yet, despite the obvious lingering questions out there haunting the American conscience, Barack Obama appears ready to waltz to the inauguration and swearing-in ceremonies without so much as proving he was born in America as he claims. That is simply unacceptable. I decided that if no one else was going to take this matter seriously, we would."

In addition, WND also launches a new reader forum devoted to this topic.

"The American people are responding to our work on the eligibility question," said Farah. "Other news organizations might take note of that. Our stories and columns on this subject are getting huge readership, yet are being ignored by most other media."

To participate, sign the petition here.

Alan Keyes

The California secretary of state should refuse to allow the state's 55 Electoral College votes to be cast in the 2008 presidential election until President-elect Barack Obama verifies his eligibility to hold the office, alleges a California court petition filed on behalf of former presidential candidate Alan Keyes and others.

The legal action today is just the latest is a series of challenges, some of which have gone as high as the U.S. Supreme Court, over the issue of Obama's status as a "natural-born citizen," a requirement set by the U.S. Constitution.

WND senior reporter Jerome Corsi even traveled to Kenya and Hawaii prior to the election to investigate issues surrounding Obama's birth. But his research and discoveries only raised more questions.

The biggest question is why Obama, if a Hawaii birth certificate exists, simply hasn't ordered it made available to settle the rumors.

Barack Obama has selected Gregory Craig as White House counsel, a move that will recall some controversial legal cases over the last few years.  Craig has plenty of experience in politics as well as the courtroom, having served as Bill Clinton’s legal counsel during the impeachment hearings.  Craig flipped from Hillary Clinton to Barack Obama early in the primaries, and Obama has repaid his support — but Craig’s caseload will raise a few eyebrows:

Gregory B. Craig, a well-known Washington lawyer who quarterbacked President Bill Clinton’s impeachment defense, has been chosen White House counsel by President-elect Barack Obama, according to Democratic officials.

Craig is intimately familiar with the president-elect’s record because he played the role of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in debate preparations.

The officials said Obama has settled on Craig but were not sure when the appointment would be announced.

The choice gives the president-elect both experience and loyalty. During the primaries, Craig was an early Clinton alumni defector to Obama. Columnist Robert D. Novak reported back in the winter of 2007 that Craig had told him he “was impressed with Obama when he first met him at the home of investment banker Vernon Jordan, an intimate friend and supporter of the Clintons.”

Craig was an Obama foreign policy adviser during the campaign. At the start of the Clinton administration, he had been the State Department’s Director of Policy Planning, the head of State’s in-house think tank. He also was senior adviser on defense, foreign policy and national security to Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.).

Besides defending Clinton through the impeachment process, an effort that Craig lost, who else had the benefit of Craig’s counsel?

• Elian Gonzalez’s father - Craig represented the father who demanded the return of his son after his estranged wife died trying to take Elian to freedom.  Most people saw this as a thinly-veiled publicity stunt from Fidel Castro, attempting to embarrass the US.  The dispute got resolved when Janet Reno ordered an armed assault on the house where Elian’s family in the US provided him a home.
• John Hinckley, Jr - Craig presented and won the insanity defense that allows Ronald Reagan’s would-be assassin to spend weekends with his family now.
• Kofi Annan - The former Secretary-General of the UN hired Craig to defend his interests in the Volcker Commission probe of the Oil-for-Food scandal, which put billions of dollars into Saddam Hussein’s pockets while providing cash for Annan’s son, his deputies, and some allege Annan himself.
• Pedro Gonzalez Pinzon - A Panamanian legislator wanted for murdering an American soldier in 1992.  The Dallas Morning News demanded that Obama force Craig to drop the case during the campaign, but no report of whether he did is easily available.

I doubt that any President has selected the defender of a presidential assassin as White House Counsel before now. Does anyone want to guess how long that takes to become a Trivial Pursuit question?

Given Craig’s dubious client list, especially Gonzalez Pinzon as an apparent active client, this selection is a disgrace.  The last person we need in the White House is an attorney who represented assassins, Castro and his goons, corrupt UN executives, and a suspected killer of an American soldier.  Those are the people the White House should focus on stopping, not embracing.

Update: I’m not saying that people should not have defense counsel when charged with a crime; that’s an absurd response to this post.  What I’m saying is that Craig is an absurd choice for White House counsel on the basis of the kinds of cases he himself pursued.  No one forced him to take Hinckley, Gonzalez Pinzon, Annan, or Gonzalez/Castro as clients.  Like most attorneys looking to boost their practice, Craig undoubtedly competed hard for their business.

Was Craig the only attorney available for this gig?  No.  Could Barack Obama find someone qualified who wasn’t currently representing a man suspected of murdering an American soldier or who represented a presidential assassin?  If not, then Obama’s more incompetent than anyone figured.

Amazing!

 

What other word is there? Three weeks ago, I asked how annoyed Americans are with our political leaders? I said we’d find out on November 4th.

And we did.

 

The sad answer is that despite our bluster and considering that Congress has only 10 percent approval rating, it turns out that Americans aren’t angry at all.

 

Supposedly, our ire would send us to the polls in record numbers.

 

This was true for Democrats who actually showed up. But Republicans, sensing disaster, stayed home. The net result was that 62 percent of Americans registered cast a vote versus 60 percent four years ago.

 

Like lambs to the slaughter, voters too often re-elected the same politicians who led them into a needless and costly war in Iraq, slept while bankers destroyed America’s financial system, applauded as free trade bills robbed the nation of its jobs, promoted amnesty, approved more non-immigrant visas for foreign-born workers , and signed off on a series of massive spending bills that brought the U.S. national debt to over $10 trillion, up from seven trillion when I wrote about it in January 2004.

 

A few of the most stunning returns:

 

• In Pennsylvania, my new home, Barack Obama heaped scorn on us calling us “bitter” but he coasted to an easy victory.

   

  
   
• In Alaska, voters gave enough support to the crotchety 85-year-old convicted felon Senator Ted Stevens to send his race against Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich into overtime. Alaskans endorsed Stevens despite Senate Majority leader Harry Reid’s promise that if elected he would not serve. [A Felon Leads in Alaska’s Senate Race, by T. W. Farnam, Wall Street Journal, November 5, 2008]

   

  
   
• In Minnesota, the Democrats’ inexperienced tax evasion candidate Al Franken forced incumbent Norm Coleman into a recount.[Coleman Leads Franken in Minnesota Senate Race, by Patrick Condon, Associated Press, November 5, 2008]

   

  
   
• In San Francisco, U.S. Representative Nancy Pelosi, arguably the worst House Speaker in history, got more than 70 percent of the vote despite challenges from Independent anti-war candidate Cindy Sheehan and Republican Dana Walsh.

   

  
   
• In New York, Pelosi’s fellow Congressional liberal Democrat Nita Lowey defeated the conservative, immigration restrictionist, pro-environment candidate Jim Russell despite her money connections to the Wall Street crowd—specifically Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns—that has bankrupted America

   

In California’s 11th district that includes Lodi, Democratic incumbent Jerry McNerney survived his challenge from Dean Andal, a well-known and widely respected Republican.

 

Even though McNerney voted before Election Day for both federal bailout packages, largely unpopular with voters, he easily defeated Andal, a fiscal conservative. [McNerney with Strong Win Over Andal, by David Siders, The Record, November 5, 2008]

 

As of today, no one knows where the $700 billion urgently disbursed to the banks has been spent. Instead of stemming the crisis, the bailout McNerey supported accelerated the consumer catastrophe but allowed some banks to acquire its weaker sisters.

 

During the painful, endless presidential campaign John McCain and Obama took advantage of the uninformed electorate and the wimpy MainStream Media by playing to the lowest common denominator.

 

Confident that their audience is clueless, the candidates went from city to city, promising jobs and prosperity but rarely fielding a question about how the jobs or prosperity would be created.

 

That I am aware of, not one reporter said to McCain: “Sir, the free trade agreements that you voted for in Congress are the reason that there are no jobs in the first place.”

 

The anti-incumbency movement, about which I have written before, is dead. In fact, it never was alive.

 

The 2008 results prove that Americans are delighted with the status quo despite their protestations to the contrary.

 

Here’s the “throw the bums out” dismal final tally.

 

The Congressional retention rate remained the same as it has been since 1855, 95.6 percent overall.

 

As usual, no third-party congressional candidate was elected. A handful reached the 20 percent level while in the vast majority of cases they stayed in low single digits. 

 

In the presidential vote category, about just 1.6 million people voted for third-party candidates, compared to 1.2 million in 2004, an insignificant increase.

 

I’ll end my bleak column with a good laugh for you.

 

In a CNN poll released on Monday, less than one week after the election, 83 percent of Americans said that the country is in “bad shape.”

 

Yet on the Tuesday preceding the poll, they voted overwhelmingly to keep in office the very individuals who put the nation in the sad state it finds itself.

 

Give me a break! What’s in “bad shape” is the public’s awareness level that I rate as terrifyingly low.

 

Obama’s illegal alien auntie: The rest of the story; Update: Open-borders lobby demands enforcement freeze By Michelle Malkin  •  November 12, 2008 12:50 AM

Scroll down for updates…

My syndicated column today reports the rest of the deportation fugitive Aunti Zeituni Onyango story that both Barack Obama and George Bush would prefer to keep covered up. God save us from bipartisanship.

Obama’s illegal alien auntie: The rest of the story
by Michelle Malkin
Creators Syndicate
Copyright 2008

I hope Barack Obama remembered to thank George Bush on behalf of his illegal alien aunt this week. The lame-duck Republican president did the Democratic president-elect a generous — and dangerous — favor right before Election Day: Putting politics above homeland security, the Bush administration ordered immigration authorities across the country to halt all deportation enforcement actions until after the campaign season was over.

According to my sources, the Bush administration issued a 72-hour cease-and-desist order to all fugitive apprehension teams to spare Obama embarrassment over his Kenyan half-aunt, Zeituni Onyango. The Associated Press had reported on Nov. 1 that Onyango was a deportation evader – one of an estimated 700,000 illegal alien absconders who have ignored orders from immigration judges to leave the country. The wire report mentioned that the Department of Homeland Security distributed “an unusual nationwide directive within Immigrations and Customs Enforcement requiring any deportations prior to Tuesday’s election to be approved at least at the level of ICE regional directors.”

But the politicized order was even worse than the AP reported. The deportation process wasn’t simply slowed down for public relations reasons and fear of a media backlash. The process was completely frozen.

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement source familiar with Western field offices told me: “The ICE fugitive operations group throughout the U.S. was told to stand down until after the election from arresting or transporting anyone out of the U.S. This was done to avoid any mistakes of deporting or arresting anyone who could have a connection to the election, i.e., anyone from Kenya who could be a relative. The decision was election-driven.”

Another source close to ICE operations in a southern California field office confirmed that immigration officials there received the same directive: “The reason they included all offices in the US was to show that they were not targeting the district Office where Aunti lived. They don’t want to pick her up by mistake and cause a big problem.”

In other words, the Bush Department of Homeland Security determined that protecting Barack Obama from the negative publicity surrounding a potential arrest of his illegal alien aunt was more important to the general welfare of the country than tracking down untold numbers of deportation absconders who received an extra three-day pass last week. DHS refuses to comment publicly about the case. Warped homeland security priorities are bipartisan. Democrat Rep. John Conyers has called for an immediate investigation – not into the rank politicizing of our deportation policies, but into who leaked Onyango’s deportation fugitive status to the press.

Question: Why shouldn’t this information be public?

As for President-elect Obama, his true views about ICE are well-known. Despite telling Katie Couric that his aunt should be required to follow the law because “We’re a nation of laws…I’m a strong believer you have to obey the law,” Obama scolded ICE agents who do their jobs for “terrorizing” communities.

Onyango arrived in the U.S. in 2000 on a temporary visa. Her asylum request was rejected in 2004. She defied the immigration court order to go back to Kenya, moved into Boston public housing, and is now hiding with relatives in Cleveland while contemplating how to extend her illegal stay.

Question: Will an Obama White House reinstate the deportation enforcement freeze in Ohio? Wouldn’t want to “terrorize” the community.

(Meanwhile, real terrorists have benefited enormously from lax enforcement of deportation orders and asylum loopholes. Ramzi Yousef, Gazi Ibrahim Abu Mezer, and Mir Aimal Kansi all exploited our catch-and-release system by invoking asylum and evading swamped authorities before plotting and executing jihadist attacks.)

Onyango’s options, like those of hundreds of thousands of deportation fugitives like her, are wide open. With the help of a seasoned immigration lawyer, she can take another bite at the judicial apple and appeal her deportation order. She can take her case all the way to the Supreme Court. She can find an illegal alien sanctuary church to give her refuge. Or she can take advantage of the longstanding congressional practice of creating “special relief” bills to help individual deportation fugitives escape punishment and acquire U.S. citizenship.

The post-9/11 Bush homeland security equation looks pretty much like the pre-9/11 one – one that will continue under Barack Obama: Cowardice plus rank opportunism times political correctness equals a lasting recipe for immigration chaos.

Justice Souter denies application for injunction to stay election
WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Oct. 31, Andy Martin, the author and law professor who filed a lawsuit in Hawaii in an attempt to procure a copy of Obama’s “original” birth certificate, said the state of Hawaii confirmed there is an original type-written 1961 birth certificate, that has not been previously released.

On Monday, Supreme Court Justice David Souter denied Attorney Philip Berg’s application for injunction to stay the Nov. 4 election, pending the disposition of his petition for a writ of certiorari, to which the defendants have until Dec. 1 to respond.

However, what Berg has learned with respect to birth certificates and recordation of such explains the deep concern over Obama’s citizenship:

If a person is born in a hospital, the hospital transmits the information to the state department of health and a birth certificate is created.

If a person is born abroad, the original foreign birth certificate must be taken to the department of health in the state where the birth is being registered.

The original foreign birth certificate is stored at the department of health, which produces a “Certification of Live Birth.”

If a person is born at home, the birth must be registered at the department of health with the medical records and birth certificate, which a doctor issues upon examination of the mother and child.

In other words, for just about everyone, the department of health will have a “vault” copy of that person’s birth certificate on file.

Berg also learned that in 1961 Hawaiian birth certificates were black and typewritten. In 2001 the Hawaii Department of Health offered a short and long version of these documents.
If the birth occurred in a hospital in Hawaii the short version, called a “Certificate of live Birth,” was issued, not a Certification of Live Birth (COLB), as the Obama campaign has been using.

A COLB, according to Berg, is nothing more than a document stating the person was born, proving neither the person’s birth nor citizenship.

Additionally, on the bottom left of a COLB, if a person is born abroad, it states “accepted,” as the one produced by Obama does. It also states the date the Hawaii Department of Health accepted the registration of birth.

According to Berg, Stanley Ann Dunham, Obama’s mother, “could not have registered Obama’s birth in Hawaii without the original ‘vault’ version of the foreign birth certificate, nor could she have gotten Obama out of Kenya,” where Berg believes Obama was born.

Another lawsuit was filed on Monday in U.S. District Court in Ohio by Allen Stamper against U.S. District Court Judge R. Barclay Surrick, Obama and Senator John Sidney McCain, claiming neither Obama, McCain, nor any other candidate for U.S. President is “entitled” to be President of the United States without establishing his eligibility to run for office.

On Oct. 29, Dr. Edwin Vieira, Jr., who holds four degrees from Harvard, A.B., A.M., Ph.D. and J.D., and has practiced constitutional law for over thirty years, wrote an article for newswithviews.com titled, “Obama must stand up now or step down.”

He wrote, “America is facing potentially the gravest constitutional crisis in her history. Barack Obama must either stand up in a public forum and prove, with conclusive documentary evidence, that he is ‘a natural born Citizen’ of the United States who has not renounced his American citizenship — or he must step down as the Democratic Party’s candidate for President of the United States — preferably before the election is held, and in any event before the Electoral College meets.”

He said Obama’s “stubborn refusal” to provide conclusive proof strongly suggests “no sufficient evidence in his favor exists.”

When Surrick dismissed Berg’s case, Vieira noted it was not because Obama has proven he is eligible for the office of President, but because, simply as a voter, Berg lacks “standing” to challenge Obama’s eligibility.

Vieira wrote, “If Obama turns out to be nothing more than an usurper who has fraudulently seized control of the Presidency, not only will the Constitution have been egregiously flouted, but also this whole country could be, likely will be, destroyed as a consequence.

And if this country is even credibly threatened with destruction, every American will be harmed … Therefore, in this situation, any and every American must have ‘standing’ to demand … that Obama immediately and conclusively prove himself eligible for ‘the Office of President.’”

Does the terms used here bother anyone? It does me, He is not going to preside nor govern nor lead but rule. Bothersome it is.

Two of the plaintiffs in court cases against Sen. Barack Obama, the president-elect, are working to move their cases forward before his presidential inauguration.

Philip J. Berg, the attorney who filed suit against Mr. Obama challenging   him to produce his original birth certificate to prove he meets the constitutional requirements to serve as U.S. president. Mr. Berg filed a Writ of Certiorari in the U.S. Supreme Court late in October, in an effort to force Mr. Obama to produce the document.

Accordingly, the U.S. Supreme Court has said that Mr. Obama, the DNC and all co-defendants are to respond to the writ, on or before Dec. 1.

The judge in Mr. Berg's original case ruled that Mr. Berg does not have standing to enforce the constitutional requirements on a presidential candidate. Mr. Berg appealed the ruling to the Supreme Court.

"I look forward to receiving defendant Obama's response to the writ and am hopeful the U. S. Supreme Court will review Berg v. Obama. I believe Mr. Obama is not a constitutionally-qualified natural-born citizen and is ineligible to assume the office of President of the United States."

Mr. Obama put an electronic photo of a birth certification on his "Fight the Smears" Web site, a document that his critics have found unconvincing. The raised seal and authoritative signature needed to validate the document cannot be seen on the scan. The Obama campaign was unwilling to release the original document to the court when Mr. Berg filed suit in August, choosing instead to argue against Mr. Berg's standing.

Mr. Berg asserts that Mr. Obama was born in Kenya, as his mother, Ann Dunham, was denied entry to the plane home due to her advanced pregnancy. Since she was only 18 at the time of Mr. Obama's birth, she would not have passed citizenship on to Mr. Obama. In 1961, citizenship could only be passed on to a child where one parent was an alien should the citizen parent have resided in the U.S. for 10 years, five of those over the age of 14.

The State of Hawaii has refused to release copies of Mr. Obama's birth certificate, because Department of Health officials say the privacy statutes of the state prevent them from doing so to anyone who does not have a "direct and tangible interest" in the record as prescribed in the state statute.

In Honolulu, Andy Martin, a longtime critic of Mr. Obama, filed a lawsuit in October, in an attempt to get the Hawaiian Department of Health to release Mr. Obama's birth certificate records. Mr. Martin announced last week that he plans to get members of the Electoral College to pressure Mr. Obama into presenting his birth certificate.

"We are going to start organizing a 'Goal Line Stand' in the Electoral College to force Barack Obama to produce his original 1961 birth certificate for review by the American people," Mr. Martin said. "Republicans, conservatives and independents have a new rallying point. Don't let Obama pass through the Electoral College until he has produced his original birth certificate and ended the mystery shrouding his origins."

No one, aside from Department of Health officials, has seen the original document. Mr. Martin has a court hearing on Nov. 18 in the Circuit Court for Honolulu, Hawaii to continue his case.

Philip J. Berg, Esquire, the Pennsylvania attorney who filed a lawsuit suit against Barack H. Obama, challenging Senator Obama’s lack of “qualifications” to serve as President of the United States, filed a Writ of Certiorari in the United States Supreme Court. Berg is taking legal action in order to view President-Elect Barack Obama's birth certificate and other similar documents.

Surprisingly, no one has seen Obama's birth records and any effort to view them has been thwarted by his campaign and the so-called mainstream news media.

Berg's writ requests review of the United States District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Judge Surrick’s dismissal of Philip J. Berg’s lawsuit against Barack H. Obama, Jr., the Democrat National Committee and the other co-Defendants.

According to court documents, the US Supreme Court has set dates in which Barack Obama, the DNC and all co-Defendants are to respond to the Writ, which is on or before December 1, 2008.

Mr. Berg told NewsWithView.Com, “I look forward to receiving Defendant Obama's response to the Writ and am hopeful the US Supreme Court will review Berg v. Obama. I believe Mr. Obama is not a constitutionally-qualified natural-born citizen and is ineligible to assume the office of President of the United States.”

Mr. Berg’s case, Berg vs. Obama was dismissed from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Docket # 08-cv-4083 for lack of standing. Mr. Berg filed a Writ of Certiorari for review of the case and an injunction to stay the election pending review. Justice Souter denied the injunction. It is expected that the Court will decide whether or not to review Berg v. Obama after the Defendants file their response, and Mr. Berg has replied to the Defendant’s response.

Berg said, "I [was] totally disappointed by Judge Surrick's decision and, for all citizens of the United States... I immediately appealed to the US Supreme Court."

"This is a question of who has standing to uphold our Constitution. If I don't have standing, if you don't have standing, if your neighbor doesn't have standing to question the eligibility of an individual to be President of the United States - the Commander-in-Chief, the most powerful person in the world - then who does?"

So, anyone can just claim to be eligible for congress or the presidency without having their legal status, age or citizenship questioned, Berg added, "According to Judge Surrick, we the people have no right to police the eligibility requirements under the U.S. Constitution. What happened to ‘...Government of the people, by the people, for the people,...’ Abraham Lincoln in his Gettysburg Address 1863. We must legally prevent Obama, the unqualified candidate, from taking the Office of the Presidency of the United States,” Berg said.

The US Constitution stipulates: "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..."

"When Arnold Schwarzenegger ran for -- and won -- the governorship of California, many in the liberal Republican establishment and the new media lamented the fact that he was not an American-born citizen and therefore was ineligible to run for president of this nation. Now it seems these same people are looking the other way to avoid exposing Senator Obama as an unconstitutional presidential candidate," said political consultant Mike Baker in an interview with NewswithViews.com.

Berg, the plaintiff stated in court papers that he is a life long Democrat who had always been proud of his Party:

Plaintiff is a licensed attorney in good standing and has taken an oath to uphold the United States Constitution. Plaintiff and many other citizens of the United States have donated money and time to Democratic Presidential candidates as well as to the Democratic National Committee, in reliance on promises and assurances made by the DNC in the Democratic Party Agenda. It provides that the Democrat Party’s goals, among others, are to “restore accountability, honesty and openness at all levels of government”, to “restore the Constitution and protect the civil rights and liberties of all Americans” and to “uphold the Constitution.”

To uphold the Constitution includes making sure that the Presidential candidate is eligible to serve as President pursuant to Article II, Section 1 of our United States Constitution and that such candidate runs a fair and legitimate campaign.

In vetting the Presidential candidate the DNC and FEC are required to ensure the eligibility requirements pursuant to our Constitution are met and the Presidential candidate, if elected, would be eligible to serve as President. To be eligible and qualified to run for and/or serve for Office of the President of the United States a person must be a “natural born” citizen. United States Constitution, Article II, Section I. The natural born citizen clause has prohibited many prominent Americans from becoming President, including Governor Schwarzenegger and former Secretaries of State Madeleine Albright and Henry Kissinger.

The DNC has nominated Obama as the Democratic candidate for President of the United States.

There are many unanswered questions regarding Obama’s citizenship status:

1. Is Obama a “natural born” United States citizen?
2. Is Obama a “naturalized” United States citizen?
3. Is Obama a citizen of Indonesia?

The Defendants' response is due by December 1st and Mr. Berg's reply will be submitted thereafter.

There isn't a redder state in America than Idaho. All of the major elected officials in the state are Republicans. Republicans control both legislative houses. That hasn't stopped the Democrats from breaking the law.

According to the Idaho GOP:
Idaho Republican Party Chairman Norm Semanko called on Idaho Democrats to apologize for distributing Congressman Bill Sali's personal information to thousands of Idahoans earlier this week.  The Idaho Democrat Party sent a campaign mail piece that included the Social Security numbers for both Congressman and [his wife] Terry Sali, potentially exposing them to fraud and identity theft.
Idaho Democrats, including Walt Minnick, on whose behalf the mailer was sent, have refused to denounce the mailing or the disclosure of personal information.  When questioned about including the private information in the mailer, Idaho Democrat Party Executive Director, Jim Hansen, replied to the Spokesman Review, "Frankly, I didn't think about it."
"I would like to think that the Idaho Democrats inadvertently included Congressman Sali's personal information out of carelessness and incompetence, not spite," said state party Chairman Norm Semanko.  "Regardless, this mailer shows a thoughtless and reckless disregard for Bill and Terry Sali's privacy.  This irresponsible act goes well beyond the boundaries of a decent and spirited political campaign, and the Idaho Republican Party condemns such actions.  This kind of win-at-all-costs campaigning might pass in Barack Obama's Chicago machine, but not here in Idaho.  Walt Minnick and Idaho Democrats owe Congressman Sali's family, and Idaho voters, an apology."
Notice that the first response of the Republicans was not a lawsuit -- the Republican Party Chairman has asked for an apology. Republicans don't bring a knife to a gunfight ... they bring a book of proper etiquette.
The larger point is this: if these kinds of shenanigans are going on in a red state like Idaho -- imagine what is going on in those that are blue.
