All of the Cases Dealing with Obama’s Birth Certificate Issue
The purpose of this blog is to expose Barack Obama’s rhetoric; however, since holding his press conference last Friday, Mr. Obama hasn’t said anything, so I can’t take up my cause until he speaks again. In the meantime, I know that many of you are following Mr. Obama’s birth certificate (or certification of live birth) issue surrounding the Constitutionality of his election to President of the United States. I thought it might be useful to list all of the websites here, so you have an easy reference point to get information.
Let’s first just summarize the pending cases regarding this issue. Philip J. Berg was the first to file such action in federal court in Philadelphia, PA. Immediately, thereafter, Jeff Schreiber began documenting Berg’s case attempting to give a well rounded view of the issue. Jeff has been a sound speaker on this issue and has done a great job of trying to keep everyone abreast of Berg’s case and the overall issues surrounding the case. I will list Jeff’s site here as well as a place to get a wealth of information on the topic.
Next, a suit was filed in Washington state against the Secretary of State’s office asking for the birth certificate to be produced. Then, Andy Martin, went to Hawaii, the only place he felt a suit could truly be filed and won regarding the birth certificate issue. Since then others have filed including the intent by Patriot Brigade Talk Radio’s to file a suit as well.
Notably, Leo Donofrio and Cort Wrotnowski have filed suits that don’t rely on Obama being born outside of the United States. They contend that because Barack Obama’s father was not a U.S. Citizen and was a British Subject, Barack Obama was British Subject at the time of is birth and is not a natural born citizen. On Leo Donofrio’s Weblog, http://naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com he miticulously discusses his arguments as to Barack Obama’s lack of Natural Born Citizenship status.
