In working for freedom and the restoration of the Constitution, I've worked with several political groups. One of the Ron Paul groups to which I belong sent out this message which gives evidence of the election being challenged in the Supreme Court. Neither Obama nor McCain were natural born citizens as the Constitutional requrement states. Why don't we hear about this in the media?
And the Main Stream Media is COVERING IT UP!
Please take the time to read the letter from Julie, and the article from Joseph Farah below, and LISTEN to the links in Julie's letter to get the FULL UNDERSTANDING. And PLEASE SPREAD this far and wide.....ACTIVATE this and make it go VIRAL PLEASE!

Last chance for Constitution?
Exclusive: Joseph Farah urges Americans deserve full disclosure on important matter

Most Americans don't realize it yet, but this Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court will review whether Barack Obama is indeed constitutionally eligible to become the next president.
The justices will hold a conference on the question and consider the case for formal review.
The case is brought by Leo C. Donofrio against Nina Wells, the New Jersey secretary of state, and questions whether Obama is a "natural-born citizen" as required by Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution.
If four of the nine justices vote to hear the case in full, oral argument may be scheduled.
It would seem a simple matter to resolve.
Barack Obama could have put this issue to rest long ago by producing a complete birth certificate from Hawaii. Instead, he has chosen to stonewall the matter, citing a website post of what can only be characterized as a partial representation of a birth certificate - one that has been criticized as a forgery.
Whether the birth certificate posted on various websites is genuine or not is almost beside the point as to his eligibility. Since Hawaii was known to register foreign births in the 1960s, the portion of the certificate released by the Obama campaign proves nothing, since it does not reveal such details as the hospital in which he was allegedly born.
Meanwhile, some of Obama's own Kenyan relatives claim to have been present at his birth in Mombasa.
This controversy, which some have dismissed as frivolous, is as serious as the literal meaning of the Constitution itself.
As I have stated before, I have little doubt a thorough investigation will prove Obama is qualified to serve the office of the presidency as a "natural-born citizen." I don't believe his campaign would ever have been successful with the specter of legal ineligibility hanging over his head.
Nevertheless, I think it is imperative to be faithful to the Constitution and to offer the American people full disclosure on such a fundamentally important matter.
Clearly, Obama doesn't think so.
(Column continues below)
But what about our U.S. Supreme Court?
Do the justices have the courage to face up to this question?
I believe they will be much more likely to do so - to take this matter seriously - if they see real demonstrations of public interest. I know of no better way for you to show that interest than to sign WND's petition.
This petition was launched just over a week ago and now boasts more than 120,000 names.
All those signing it are receiving updates on controversy. The names will be delivered to the U.S. Supreme Court in time for its review Friday. This week will represent your last chance to impact that review.
The day this petition campaign was launched, a judge in Hawaii dismissed one challenge to produce the birth certificate stating he did not believe there was sufficient public interest demonstrated. Let's be sure the same is not the case with the Supreme Court review.
I hope you will 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 - in 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 of your friends.

Justice Clarence Thomas has placed a discussion of Barack Obama's citizenship on the December 5th docket for conference, meaning a discussion of the merit of this particular case.
A commenter at America's Right, who has been the leading source of excellent information on the various lawsuits, is requesting that we write directly to the Supreme Court:
The Honorable Associate Justice
Clarence Thomas
United States Supreme Court
One First St. N. E.
Washington DC 20543
Put docket # on Envelope 08-A407
Ask him UPHOLD our Constitution with Full Disclosure as the only Constitutionally viable answer.
One commenter said he/she was sending a copy of his letter to each of the nine Justices. Good idea!
Here are some details just in from WorldNetDaily
The Supreme Court's website listed the date for the case brought by Leo C. Donofrio against Nina Wells, the Secretary of State in New Jersey, over not only Obama's name on the 2008 election ballot but those of two others, Sen. John McCain and Roger Calero.
The case, unsuccessful at the state level, had been submitted to Justice David Souter, who rejected it. The case then was resubmitted to Justice Clarence Thomas. The next line on the court's docket says: "DISTRIBUTED for Conference of December 5, 2008."
Jeff Schreiber at America's Right has followed this case closely. His post today reports:
As for New Jersey firebrand and attorney Leo Donofrio, his application for an emergency stay was denied by Justice Souter, Donofrio was able to refile and resubmit it to the Justice of his choosing, and properly did so. Today, the docket for his action shows that after being put before Justice Clarence Thomas, the application will be discussed by the Court in a December 5, 2008 conference.
Normally, during their term, the Supreme Court Justices conference on Wednesday (typically, but not always) and review the various petitions and applications before them, deciding which of the many such proceedings should be heard by the Court. I suspect that we could soon see a similar entry on the docket for Berg's case as well.
Now, this does not mean that the Court has decided to hear either of these matters and, in fact, is fairly typical when it comes to the process. Still, for those hoping to have these cases heard on their merits, for those who feel these issues are more about the United States Constitution than Barack Obama, this is a step in the right direction.

Where was this energy when the current prez was busy eviscerating our constitution?
http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/born_in_the_usa.html
None of this matters anyway.
When are you whiners going to leave this alone?
But you go ahead and piddle away your time with your frivolous pet peeves just becuase your man lost 8-)
PRESIDENT ELECT Obama didn't give up anything.
He was a child. Indonesia was his stepfather's country. Neither he or his mother GAVE UP their United States citizenship. Your stupid and outmoded ideas are based on some crap you read on Worldnet Daily.
He didn't CHOOSE TO ATTEND a Muslim school, he was sent there.
CORSI is a man, not a woman.
ANNENBERG was also an ambassador under RONALD REAGAN. HE'S ALSO DEAD.
YOU MEAN THE ANNENBERG FOUNDATION.
WHERE DO THEY GET YOU PEOPLE?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I've given you the proof, which you've chosen to ignore.
This is just a moot point anyway, nothing is going to come from it.
McCain was the nominee because he was the most attractive candidate out of bunch of very, very, unnattractive candidates.
This really isn't about PRESIDENT ELECT OBAMA either. This is just more bile posted by people who can't let go.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I've gotten a Secret Service clearance before and they want to know everything about you and they do deep background and document checks.
Our taxpayer dollars are being wasted by this ridiculous waste of time and money.
Step away from the pipe, dude. Really.
McCain is a natural born citizen.
Obama is a natural born citizen.
Corsi is an idiot.
Really, the only way this whole conspiracy theory even makes SENSE is if you assume the democrats and the republicans, with the full knowledge of the FBI, CIA, and the current president, were all involved in a conspiracy that spans a couple of generations to elect a non-natural born citizen to the White House.
The democrats and republicans can't agree on what to order for breakfast.
Rated 1 because the article is a copy and paste. If you felt strongly about this you'd have written something in your own words.
I am so sorry the margin of victory was so great your beloved corrupt party couldn't steal another presidential election.
No I'm not morons.
OK, heres the BIG question -- if this matter is so darn important, why wasn't this suit brought at the BEGINNING of the campaign/election process, rather than after the end?
//...why in heavens name is this twit lining everyone up so far in advance??? THIS is not the norm!!// Actually, it is the norm. The incoming President wants his cabinet vetted and in place BEFORE he takes the oath. It's even more important in these uncertain times; that way they'll be ready to go on Day One.
//Meanwhile, some of Obama's own Kenyan relatives claim to have been present at his birth in Mombasa// Yeah, like his YOUNGER brother and sister!
Wikipedia, quoting the 14th Amendment: "The Fourteenth Amendment mentions two types of citizenship: citizenship by birth and citizenship by law (naturalized citizens): 'All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.'"
Also: "In April 2008 the US Senate approved a resolution affirming McCain's status as a natural born citizen." So much for John McCain's supposed ineligibility. And, of course, anyone born on US soil is a US citizen. Ask any "anchor baby".
//He didn't CHOOSE TO ATTEND a Muslim school, he was sent there. // That one's been debunked too, Sweetheart. And what difference would it make if he did attend a "Muslim school"?
//I hope you will join me in this fight for truth, justice and the American way by signing the petition. // If I start another petition for you conspiracy theorists to S T F U, will you honor it?
No Cal, it's just most people can differentiate between truth and manufactured rhetoric.
This myth has been discredited so many times in so many ways with documents and eye-witness testimony that seeing you still convinced really saddens me and I wish I had an answer to help you.
This hyperbolic self-feeding quest to topple the election began with John McCain many years ago by the bush machine. Hm, maybe you are part of the old bush machine, trying to sway public opinion so you can remain in power while the Supreme Court sorts things out ?
The People have spoken, it's time for a Change !
LOL ~@~ LOL ~@~ LOL ~@~ LOL ~@~ LOL ~@~ LOL ~@~ LOL !

And veiled like it is, its still ugly.
Then we would have known enough to simply click are way to another article of substance.
President-Elect Makes Bipartisan Appeal At Conference Of Governors In Philadelphia
In his brief remarks, Mr. Obama pledged a partnership with the governors, Republicans and Democrats alike. "I will not simply ask our nation's governors to help implement our economic recovery plan," he said. "I will ask you to help design the plan."
He made a point of promising Republican governors "the same hand of friendship and cooperation that I offer Democratic governors."
Mr. Obama spoke to a bipartisan group of state chief executives at historic Congress Hall that included former and possibly future political rivals. Among those in attendance were Republicans Govs. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana and Sarah Palin of Alaska, the GOP vice presidential nominee in this year's campaign.
Republican and Democratic governors sat at desks in the hall, with no separation by party, and gave Mr. Obama and Biden a standing ovation.
The Courts should not lower themselves to their stupid level.
And, John Knight: Your campaign to bring the president down will not work. Call these cases just what they are: HARASSMENT. I would venture to say that when the dust settles, there will just be a few disgruntled plaintiffs. I doubt if they will ever set their eyes on this ubiquitous birth certificate and they certainly have no proof that Obama was born anywhere other than Hawaii.
You are telling us all there exists verifiable proof that this claim is irrefutable and that the entire political machine plus the media is covering up this proof ?
When will Sarah say it in public ?
Never mind you can't prove a negative.
These types do not want to hear the truth, they simply want to stir up trouble.
"Bash a UK-American S.O.B."
If that's not enough proof for you, you're just too dumb to live.
That's the narrative, right?
I'll bet you that your usual bs doesn't amount to more than your usual bs. If you honestly think that Obama hasn't been the most examined presidential candidate in history, it's just you.
The real Manchurinan candidate lost.
You whiners need to get over it.
"That's the narrative, right?"
No, the narrative goes something more like this, it seems;
The Constitution of the United States mandates that only "natural-born citizens" may hold the office of President. That phrase meant something very specific at the time the Constitution was drafted, namely, people born in the U.S., that are not subjects of any other nation. Mr. Obama was, according to him, born of a father that was a subject of Great Britain, and therefore, according to British law at the time, himself a subject of another nation, and not a "natural-born citizen", and cannot legally hold that office.
At least, that's the scenario a certain law suit the Justices will be examining and discussing on Friday, advances. So, the question that comes to my mind is; Why are you here mocking people that feel it is important to adhere to the highest Law of the land? Are you in favor of ignoring the Supreme Court if they rule that case is correct?
That statement is incorrect, based on case law as well as scholarly writings regarding the meaning of the words in the Constitution as written when written. (And I don't mean the toxic websites that are hawking this stuff.) Where that sentence runs off the rails is the last subordinate phrase, which would be correct if only it read something like "...that are not heads of state of another nation, or their diplomats, or enemy soldiers occupying a piece of US territory." I understand that you differ with that view. I do agree with you that if the SCOTUS puts this on their calendar, they may at some date after Friday look at Article II, if they can get through standing or the fact that Mr. Donofrio was a month late in filing his papers in NJ.
I won't trade cheap shots and innuendo with you here, John. I'll let others make up their own minds about what you have to contribute.
So, are you claiming that your interpretation of law entitles you to call upon people to disregard what the US Supreme Court rules? . . . or just mock those who feel it is best to let them decide what the law says? You are here mocking such people, are you not?
"That statement is incorrect, based on case law as well as scholarly writings regarding the meaning of the words in the Constitution as written when written. (And I don't mean the toxic websites that are hawking this stuff.)"
Once again, you display a propensity for hypocrisy. You call those sources you would rather folks not look at "toxic", as though a god, yet you yourself rely on nothing more than sites you find comforting, is that no so?.
You are no god, and your judgments are nothing more than the opinions of a man. Never have I implied anyone ought to ignore anything at all, for I am not just masquerading as a man committed to open-mindedness; I really am.
"There are good sites and bad sites. There are blogs run by people well-versed in the law and there are sites run by people who don't know anything and have whatever agenda."
No doubt, but you are just a man. You are not the arbiter of anything but your own opinions. You may take it upon yourself to judge whomever and whatever you wish, but you don't fool the children of the God of Abraham with that crap, nor do you serve open-minded inquiry by slander and mocking. You know who that serves . . . don't you?
You've posted an opinion above about this filing and I have as well. Other people can take what they will from it; the characterizations you are putting up there don't somehow validate any part of your ramblings about either the issue or me.
I've joked about the tempest in the teapot that this issue is; if it's a grave and somber exercise for you, you probably didn't get the joke. I think most of the people can survive a bit of sarcasm but obviously it's hit too close to home for you.
Wow that tells me everything I need to know about you !
Are you saying you're a bigot?
Don't you Bush lovers understand that Bush is a closet Nazi German?
"I've joked about the tempest in the teapot that this issue is;"
Just is, huh god? You actually expect me to believe YOU know such things as fact? And am I to join in your game, and declare I know for a fact he is not qualified to hold office? And shall we call that reasoning?
" . . . if it's a grave and somber exercise for you, you probably didn't get the joke."
Well, it certainly is grave and sombre, that the President elect may be deceiving the entire nation, about his eligibility to take the oath of office legally. And I don't believe you are not concerned, as well.
It's a tempest in a teapot. Do I expect you to believe that? I think that you've made your opinions pretty clear. People are free to read what you believe about this and decide for themselves.
I've mentioned in other threads that I read some of these articles because they reveal interesting things about people who, despite issues that I have with content, I know to be intelligent and capable of independent thought. It's interesting and a bit bewildering to observe the phenomenon of folks being caught up in the swirl of conspiracy theories, especially those that lack credible support.
"It's a tempest in a tea pot".
Over half a million dollars spent by the man who ran on "transparency", to keep the lid on a "teapot" . . . makes a lot of sense ; )
So, for all those throwing loose accusations around, if Obama is NOT a "natural born citizen" (either through "Law of the Blood" [born to a US Citizen] or "Law of the Soil" [born ON US soil] ) show us his Naturalization papers. It seems an easy enough request for the accusers to actually have the ability to PROVE their case, instead of having the accused PROVE their innocence.
So here is your chance, Put up or shut up.
BTW, I'm NOT a Obama supporter, but I also dislike sore losers and seeing the Republicans act like the liberals did in 2000 and 2004.
Those defending Obama here are being undermined by Mr. Obama's own behavior and failure to be completely open and transparent -- while at the same time examing every single incident in the lives and backgrounds of those he wants to serve in his administration. Not a great way to get started here, folks.
Sorry, Brook, can't agree with that one. It's not Obama's job to genuflect to every crazy conspiracy theory you or anyone else can cook up. And if you were informed on the issues and the nature of Hawaiian birth certificates, you'd realize that any action the Obama would take, even at his own initiative, would likely not be dispositive. It has to do with the informal nature of birth certificate recording procedures during the period when Obama was born. The conspiracy theorists would pretty likely not be satisfied with any release.
These types of statements--attempts to pin some kind of character deficit on Obama for questions that are sewn of the whole cloth by people with dubious credentials and agendas--are a form of demagoguery that, in the end, lowers the level and quality of dialogue on public issues and are a distraction from the attention that should be placed on the real and serious problems facing the nation.
I caption these comments on the abject absence of a whit of evidence that there is anything legally wrong with Obama's election. If you don't have anything, don't even bother. I can't hear you.
Have you noticed none of his staff or Obama himself will publicly proclaim he was born in Hawaii? They keep saying the issue is trivial -- rather than actually answer the charge. The issue is not going away, and there are some people that will never be satisfied at this point. However, he's going to have to produce the certificate sooner or later, and at some point will be asked if he was born in Hawaii? I mean, no President is too busy or should have a problem being asked if they are Constitutionally qualified.
