I was a bit surprised to see this posted as the subject in an email I received this morning.
Citizen Grand Jury Indicts Obama
The sub-heading was: Groups in 20 more states reviewing eligibility claims
The article was written for WorldNetDaily.com by Bob Unruh. It begins:
President Obama has been named in dozens of civil lawsuits alleging he is not eligible to be president, with one man even filing a criminal complaint alleging the commander-in-chief is a fraud, and now a citizen grand jury in Georgia has indicted the sitting president.
The indictment delivered to state and federal prosecutors yesterday is one of the developments in the dispute over Obama's eligibility to be president under the U.S. Constitution's requirement that presidents be "natural born" citizens.
Orly Taitz, a California attorney working on several of the civil actions, also announced she has filed another Quo Warranto case in the District of Columbia, where, she told WND, the statutes acknowledge that procedure.
The Quo Warranto claim essentially calls on Obama to explain by what authority he has assumed the power of the presidency.
Georgia resident Carl Swensson, whose work is detailed on his RiseUpForAmerica.org website,told WND he got tired of the issues over Obama's eligibility, as well as his performance in office.
"I took it upon myself to find as many patriots as I could across the state, for the purpose of seating 25 for a grand jury," he said.
Over the weekend the jurors took sworn testimony from several sources, including Taitz, and then generated an indictment that later was forwarded to the U.S. attorney, the state attorney general and others in law enforcement across the state.
Swensson cites on his website as authority for the grand jury the Magna Carta, the bill of rights that formed the foundation of British common law on which U.S. law is based.
He said the members were chosen, sworn in and observed all of the rules of procedure. Swensson declined to elaborate on the specific allegations about Obama, telling WND that remains confidential at this point because of the possibility of a prosecution.
However, the website explanation of the procedure includes some intimidating language.
"If the government does not amend the error within 40 days after being shown the error, then the four members shall refer the matter to the remainder of the grand jury," it says. "The grand jury may distrain and oppress the government in every way in their power, namely, by taking the homes, lands, possessions, and any way else they can until amends shall have been made according to the sole judgment of the grand jury."
Swensson said the indictments were delivered to the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Georgia, state officials and leaders of the Georgia Senate and House.
He told WND that since the action in Georgia, he's been contacted by groups in at least 20 other states who want to pursue a similar action.

Citizen Grand Jury Indicts Obama
When this topic has been addressed here at Gather before, it was always said that Obama was vetted first in his position as Senator, then "of course" as President. But I have read many articles (yes, on conservative sites) that claim that is not the case and that there is no proof of that.
If anyone in any office of authority had seen official documents that proved that Obama was, indeed, eligible to be President, wouldn't they have come forward? Wouldn't they have wanted to be intereviewed and said, "Yes! I have seen the man's proof that he is qualified!" But no one as done that. Why? Is it because no one ever did check?
Yes, yes, I am aware that factcheck.org had a copy of the form that many who have brought lawsuits claimed was not proof or was fake. We don't need to go back over that.
I just found it interesting that a new and different way of trying to get the President to do what's right - prove that he is eligible to actually be the President - has arisen. I wonder if the courts will finally do something. Can they really continue to ignore a large part of our citizens who want answers?

Helping you reach your gather goals!
Although, I suspect he's eligible I do wonder why he just doesn't have his people provide some documentation so everyone can shut up and concentrate on the important jobs of a) regaining some measure of control in the House and Senate, and b) regaining the White House in 2012.
So just how many illegal wars has President Obama started?
How many innocent world citizens has he personally caused the death of?
How many times has he completely ignored the constitution of the United States of America.
The answer to all of the above is none but bush is still your guy.
Pitiful and so hypocritical as always.
Have a nice day in your universe of delusion.

Why are you still bringing up Bush? He's gone now, Don.
This post is about one thing - is Obama actually eligible to be President? If he is, why has he not cooperated by showing that he is?
I doubt anything will happen with these lawsuits unfortunately. There will always be secrets surrounding Obama since no one wants to come forward with proof.
Too bad, too...as you seem quite passionate.
(Sorry Marilyn, no disrespect meant, but am trying to find all the April Fool's stories today...)
