| Berg v. Obama v. Reality |
| Monday, 24 November 2008 08:00 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Mr. Berg has no standing to challenge the citizenship of Barack Obama because electors in the electoral college choose our country's presidents - not general election voters. In fact, there is no constitutional requirement that any popular vote be held to influence the selection of our nation's president. These simple Constitutional facts seems to be lost on Mr. Berg and those who think he is somehow doing a service to the nation with his legal maneuvers. His claims against the eligibility of Barack Obama to serve as President of the United States, were justifiably thrown out of a lower court in Pennsylvania. If justice prevails, his subsequent writ of certiorari submitted to the US Supreme Court will also be dismissed. We say if justice prevails, because it is of course not out of the question that our Supreme Court could find some novel way to interpret the Constitution in order to take up Mr. Berg's cause. Sticking with the facts, here are the three legal ways that a presidential hopeful can be disqualified from gaining office:
So, if you care about this issue, don't waste your time on a sore loser whose major motivation is that Hillary Clinton should be president. Electors of the Electoral College meet in the 50 states and the District of Columbia on December 15th. These are the people you should be trying to influence. As a backup to relying on the electors to resolve Obama's "natural-born" citizenship issue, you should be working to line up a Senator and U.S. House member (preferably ones who represent you in your own state) who would be willing to challenge the qualifications of Senator Obama during the counting of electoral votes in the Senate on January 8th. Once a challenge is filled in writing during the counting process (per U.S. Code Title 3, Chapter 1, Section 15), the challenge must be resolved prior to the counting process being allowed to continue. Lastly, before you take up the fight to resolve whether Senator Obama meets the "natural-born citizen" clause, ask yourself whether you have standing to do this without being called a hypocrite. Determining your standing is simple. How hard have you fought to uphold the "power to declare war" clause of the Constitution? If you have been silent while President Bush has violated the constitution to launch undeclared wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, you should consider the wisdom of trying to pick and choose which clauses of the Constitution you would like enforced. Important Sidebar: Please visit the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) for detailed information on the Electoral College process. They are supposed to be posting list of names for qualified electors for all the states as they receive them. However, they will accept list of names from the states as late as December 16th, the day after the electors cast their ballots. There is no penalty for states who fail to meet this request. NARA also provide a list of states that do not bind their electors to follow the results of the general election. Interestingly enough, the current question of the week on the NARA website is, "Who verifies if a candidate is qualified to run as president?" Translation of Answer: Not our job. Check with your Secretary of State or Board of Elections Office who we already know don't check qualifications. Unlike many others at least, NARA does not try to pass the buck to the Federal Elections Commission (FEC). (The FEC was set up in 1975 only to monitor the financing of federal elections.) As we are trying to emphasize here, NARA does note that electoral votes can be contested during the counting process in January and that you should contact your representatives in Congress if you have questions on this matter. In a related issue, for no readily apparent reason, while Congress was smack in the middle of the ferocious pitched battle over the FED bailout bill being pushed by Secretary of the Treasury Hank Paulson, our elected representatives found the time to pass House Joint Resolution 100. This resolution was offered by New York Congressman Michael Arcuri, who back in March just missed getting tangled up in Elliott Spitzer's Hookergate scandal. The resolution was passed without debate and by unanimous consent in both the House and Senate. It postpones the counting of electoral ballots in the Senate this January by two days. (Per the US Code, the electoral ballots are to be counted on the opening day of the new Congressional session.) Who says you can't change US law with a simple Congressional resolution? Thanks to a guy who had a 20 something women on his congressional staff doing "campaign consulting" for $4000/month, the new Congress will begin its session on Tuesday, Janauary 6th, but the counting of Electoral College ballots will not occur until Thursday, January 8th. Closing thoughts: If you're begining to suspect that this whole chosing of the president process is rigged, you are correct. Between now and 2012, please work on forgeting about presidential election politics. This is a 100% diversion from what you as a citizen should be focused on. As The John Birch Society has been saying for most of fifty years now, "Congress is the Key." Please spend your time focused on how to acheive honest representation from the person serving you as a member of the United States House of Representatives. Our system was originally designed for you to have the most effect upon your Congressman and your state legislature. These branches of our federal system are supposed to wield more power than any president. We play right into the hands of usurpers when we allow our attention, and the power that goes with it, to be diverted to the office of the presidency. Do the right thing and join the ranks of The John Birch Society. Educated, concerted action at the grassroots level is what's needed most to protect and restore proper respect for our unalienable rights.

Truth Will Out A significant problem with Berg was that it was filed in Federal Court. There is another case in front of the Supreme Court with Leo C. Donofrio http://origin.www.supremecourt...08a407.htm The Donofrio case worked its way up through the State Courts and is set for a Conference with the Supreme Court on Dec. 5. Still and uphill battle if the SC will take this on. But it challenges the NJ Secretary of State for failing to do her job under State law and vet the candidates before placing them on the ballot. More promising is the case filed by Alan Keyes in California Sacramento Superior Court. Most of the 17 lawsuits that have been filed around the US have been dismissed on technical grounds saying a Citizen does not have standing to bring such a suit. At not time has Obama appeared and produced a copy of his records to answer this question. The main stream media have had a black out on this issue. McCain had the same question and there were massive coverage on the issue including articles in the New York Times that goes back to February of this year. When challenged McCain produced all of his records to the Senate and this was the result:http://www.opencongress.org/bill/110-sr511/text Note who was part of this? Mr. Obama. He was under the same challenges at the same time but there was not a whisper of it in the media. Mr. Obama could have taken the opportunity to stand up and say," I have a similar challenge and I here are all of my records, please vet my qualifications and issue a similar ruling." What was Obama's response to produce a copy of a Certification of Live Birth to several liberal websites like factcheck, fightthesmears, and others. They dutifully stated that they have held the document, it is real and proves Obama is a "natural born citizen" as defined under the Constitution and hence eligible to hold the office of the President. Nothing could be further from the truth. Simply put the Certification of Live Birth that the Obama campaign posted is, according to the Department of Hawaiian Laws and Health Department, not the same as a Certificate of Live Birth, which is the document that is needed to authenticate Hawaiian birth. So it does not matter if the document produced on factcheck is real or not, the document that is needed is the Certificate of Life Birth. That would show the name of the hospital where he was born, the names of the doctors etc. In order to produce the birth certificate Obama would be required to sign a release and pay $12.00 which he has refused to this point to do. Obama appears ready to risk a Constitutional crisis over a $12.00 birth certificate. This issue can be challenged in State Court. Go to the Keyes case on the Sacramento Superior Court Website and read the Writ of Mandate. Keyes is represented by Gary Kreep who is a very fine attorney and he has laid out the State law issues very clearly. The Keyes suit names Obama, Biden, Deborah Bowen the California Secretary of State and the 55 California Democratic electors. Deborah Bowen will have to present the evidence that was used to vet Obama to place him on the ballot. If it is found wanting she will not be able to certify the electors and they will not be able to cast their votes for Obama. As Keyes was on the ballot in California he is not susceptible to the lack of standing/no damages arguments that the other lawsuits were dismissed under. I also disagree with your assertion that the States have not laws on this issue. They have the laws, it is just that they have not be enforced. If you have a minute here is what the Electoral College has to say on the topic:http://www.archives.gov/federal-register/electoral-college/questions.html |

Where is that pesky BC? Dr Mr. Carpo: Where is that pesky long vault BC that would put everything to rest? People like you sir, evade this very issue as to why would the President Elect rather be sued than to simply produce the document! I do not have any problems with the lack of standing or standing, but on the Lord Jesus's good earth why will a president elect rather get sued than request a $10.00 certified copy for all to inspect and add integrity to his name and that of his office? It is an issue of basic mistrust. Is he hiding something? |

Lawyers, lawyers, lawyers everywhere! Where were all those lawyers when "W" was taking America to war without a Declaration of War as stipulated in the US Constitution that only congress has the right-the power- to declare war? Did these lawyers write books and set up a website and offer themselves up as instant experts ready to do the lucrative speaking circuit when Bush violated this part of the Constitution? How many of you are willing to donate $100.00 to this site in order to have a powerful presense on the internet instead of sending money to another lawyer who has struck oil by puishing the "Obama" button? Lawyers are coming out of the wood work to make "court challenges" and they will waste your time and money and not asccomplish one ten thousandths of what could be accomplished by using this website to educate, coordinate and activate millions on getting making congress Constitutional. |

President Elect? By the way folks, he is NOT the President Elect. Not until the Electoral College casts the votes for President. |

Twentieth Amendment This is section 3 of the Twentieth Amendment read it very closely: Section 3. If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term,or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified. As noted Mr. Obama is not the President Elect until the Electors have voted for him. There written plainly in the Twentieth Amendment is a provision for were a President Elect canbe found to be unqulaified even after congress votes on him up to the time when the President Elect takes the oath. That begs the question who has the constitutional authority to unqualify a President Elect? To me there is only one answer: The Supreme Court. Since the Qualifications for President is Constitutionally Mandated it is then a matter of Law since the Constitution is the Law of the land. The Supreme Court is the primary court when dealing with Constitutional law. With that bearing in mind you can make a case that the Supreme Court has not only the right but the duty to verify a President Elect is qualified to be President. Congress has it role in the initial voting but as stated by the Twentieth Amendment the President Elect can still be found Unqualified. With that the Executive branch will be out do to conflict of interest, the only branch left is the Judicary with the Supreme Court in the lead. I believe this is why Justice Thomas is taking Mr. Donofrio's case to conference. I believe he knows and accepts it as his Constitutional duty. |

The "Electoral college or the "CFR" college Remember back in the summer when a "Liberal" senator from Arizona was out of money and his campaign was losing gas faster than a skinny cow on it's last patch of alfalfa? Who resurrected his campaign? Then we have the Obama phenomenon. Who elevated him to national prominence? Neither of these "Liberals" are political Hodinis but consummate politicians who are members of the exclusive club called the Council on Foreign Relations. Both are willing to do whatever the CFR tells them to do. It's a moot point to say that, "He is not the President Elect until the electoral college casts the votes for president," when the decision on who would be our next president was agreed to by the CFR. I don't expect that they will allow a bunch of lawyers to undo what they decided in the offices of the Pratt Building months or maybe even years ago as to who would be our next president. You can send us all the links to what this lawyer or that lawyer is doing in court challenges to Obama's "natural born" status. You can send that lawyer out in chicago a $100 dollar bill so that he can fight "for the Constitution" in a court of law but it won't matter in the slightest to the CFR. The CFR owns the Main Stream media. They control television networks , the major magazines, the major dailies and major radio. You have the internet but why waste people's time and money suggesting that they get involved with fighting the Establishment in Court? You can make a phone call to your Congressman and Senators and get others to do likewise to be your voice to challenge the Obama "Natural Born" status.that action wonn't cost you more than a dollar. You can obtain the names of the Electoral College electors and send a barrage of mail to them on this issue. I suggest not giving one dime to lawyers who, conveniently and instantly, become concerned with violations of the Constitution! These lawyers are looking to use you to elevate themselves to celebrity status. |

Not exactly true Jim. Jim Capo needs to get up to speed on his # 1 item i.e. having Secretary of States vet the presidential candidates. N.J. already has that law, and, I understand there are numerous other states with the same law. Then comes Alan Keyes and two electors Who all have standing. |

No matter what you say, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear Berg v. Obama Whatever you idiots wish, hope for or say, the U.S. Supreme Court is going to hear this case: http://origin.www.supremecourtus.gov/docket/08-570.htm |

Politics ala Media Selection Jim, There are those like yourself that appreciate organization and deal in facts. Then at the other extreme are those who operate on what they emotionally perceive as the way they want things organized. Without examining the facts, they allow themselves to be driven by uneducated, or biased media rumor and speculation. Fair media would give us what, where, when and why, then and let us make our own decisions. Perhaps this country needs a Media Liberation Party. Adman to the Stars |

A broader view First of all, I must agree with those who wonder why The Barack doesn't just shut this whole controversy down with an attested vault certificate. The actions of the State of Hawaii raises further questions, but the important one to me, is the one that will be decided before Justice Clarence Thomas on December 5. Which raises the larger question: Is it not the duty of our much-vaunted "media" to keep us informed? If so, then why is this entire political debacle only known to a tiny fraction of the populace (growing, of course, virally)? Well, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, FOX??? I've written to all of them and have not received even the whisper of a reply. This thing is BIG!!! What's stopping you? I note that BO Plenty had plenty of money to play with. More than a half Billion dollars, I understand. Could it be that some of Daddy WarBarack's rolls of cash are keeping your throats plugged? Bill Whedon |
|

Throats plugged? , he says! Mr. Whedon, you've obviously run out of arguments so you use this forum to vent your anger against an organization that has been out there exposing the Wm Clinton Chinagate scandal, the Oklahoma city coverup, the Foreknowldege that our government had about 9-11. Those are just three examples that prove that the JBS isn't afraid of exposing lies and coverup. Pick up your telephone and call your Senator and Congressman and report back on what they told you. If they stonewall you then you accuse them of "plugging their throats," but don't attack an organization that has been out there fighting to keep the NWO from repacing our Constitution with the North American Union! How many trips did you make to the state capitol to stop the NAU? |

Auto De Fe "Auto de fe" is an old descriptive word I've dusted off that Obama supporters or critics may use. The phrase auto de fe refers to the ritual of public penance of condemned heretics and apostates that took place when the Spanish Inquisition or the Portuguese Inquisition had decided their punishment (that is, after the trial). Auto de fe in medieval Spanish (and in Portuguese) means "act of faith". The phrase also commonly occurs in English in its alternative Portuguese form auto-da-fé. In the popular imagination "auto-da-fé" has come to refer to burning at the stake for heresy. Specifically this term came to being around 1500 as Queen Isabella forced the last Muslims out of Granada in southern Spain. An Auto De Fe was the trial of someone condemned of heresy. During this trial or "inquisition" the unmasked victim was questioned by their accusers whom wore hoods to hide their identities. I think this term works well when a political candidate is anonymously destroyed or supported through the media, or blogged out or into existence in the faceless realm of the internet. |

Spanish Inquisition by GL Aylesworth Thank you for the history lesson. No one appreciates history more than a student of history. However, I appreciate clarity too. What are you talking about? |
|
|
Election through Auto de fe Sorry, my vague point is that we may be forfeiting our legal election process to a free wheeling Auto de fe. Are we giving up the established rule of law regarding an electable candidate and turning it over to the immediate whims of a faceless mob, driven through a biased media? If no one running is held accountable to the current standards and rules, are we not entering into political chaos? The Auto de fe was mob justice without rules, an errant judicial spin off from a traditional legal trial, with a persons success or guilt based solely on their character. I want a candidate to follow the current election rules, or to change them legally before entering an election, not to create a modern day, free wheeling Auto de fe. |

I couldn't agree with you more I accidentally bumped into the JBS just today. I was a person who was not politically aware when the brainwash and smear of this organization was taking place. But I am learning by leaps and bounds now because of the internet. I look forward to gaining valuable information on how to legally defeat this evil neocon antichrist monster. I will add that thru out history they have always been defeated and just like everyone else they don't learn from history. They are going down. |

... The US Supreme Court Conference on Dec 5th (and/or Keyes' case) will determine whether there IS or IS NOT, a Constitution or Bill of Rights. Here comes the 50/50 decision. If this case is decided moot, Let's get on with our own war since there is no law! |

Prediction Dec 1st has come and gone with no SOTUS action Dec 5th will come and go with no SOTUS action Dec 15th the electors will meet and elect Barack Obama Jan 8th the result will be announced Jan 20th will be the inauguration Jan 20th 2008 until November 4th, 2012 Obama serves ably as president and is reelected, with about the same number of electoral votes as before Have none of you even looked at the factcheck.org material? It's totally clear that Obama has proven he was born in the USA. Unless, that is, you think there's a conspiracy between Obama and the Republican governor of Hawaii to hide material, unless you think Obama's parents put a birth announcement in the paper to hide his true birth place 47 years ago, unless you believe all the government workers who have access to Obama's documentation are conspiring to hide his dirty secret... Can't you just face the fact the he's been elected president? I should have invested money in companies that make tin foil hats so they could sell them to you all. |
|
|
... Let the Supreme Court kill itself by declaring Obama President and piss off millions of gun toting Patriots. Go ahead Supremes, make my day. |
|
|
... The SCOTUS has NOT made a decision, It takes 4 judges on the SCOTUS to approve the writ of cert. I believe this will happen. This is a constitutional issue so it is extremely important. I do not believe the SCOTUS will let this slide. Factcheck is in the tank and what they posted proves NOT A THING!!! neither does fighththesmears. 1961 in Hawaii even foreign born children could get a registration of live birth certificate if registered within the year of birth. Most likely this is the case with Obama. The real vaulted certificate has been fought by the Obama lawyers to remain a secret. The governor of Hawaii has said that he does have a certificate but explains nothing. In the case Berg v Obama Berg clearly states that this is a certificate but does not prove natural birth unless there is signature by attending physician, Hospital record with name of mother, his name, footprint of child and a seal. There still remains questions to why? and what is he trying to hide? I believe with now 17 suits in process they will get a true answer. I hope so and I hope there is nothing to this. We vote again in 2012 and if he proves to not be a good president we vote him out. If he does we reelect him. But no one is above the constitution nor should he be. |

naivate How any one can think Obama proved something by putting it the net or Fact Check is really un informed. Fact Check is Annenberg foundation which Obama funneled millions to for Ayers "alternative "Marxist" schools! The fact is everyone "just assumed" he was eligeable when he simply signed a form saying he was. He, if not a natural born citizen for any reason (especially because there are documents showing as Indonesian Citizen)is resisting showing full record of birth, passports, school records. The suggestion that an electore or two or three should withold is great. One of my daughters acquaintances is an eletor. I will see what we might do. Two of Alan Keys filing partners are electore are they not? I did write Diane Feinstein. Do what you can peple. He has spent almost a million in attorenys to oppose standing and fiek dismissals. Seems like theres a rat in the basment somewhere. |

Rancho Cucamoinga Ca. Sorry for typos. This keyboard is sticky or something! My daughter is coordiantor for San Bdo Cnty National and global day of prayer, goes to city counsel meetings and leads prayer, and is working with pastors and the House of prayer over here. She informs me that athiests are suing the city because a billboard company took down a sign by athiests. It says "What if there were no religeon?" People called and complained. I knpow of a country where they threw God out. They are responsible for the death of 100,000,000 world wide. Obama's mom was a communist. Her father was kicked out of the states. She is the subject in vile pornography writing of Frank Davis her father's Communist friend. He got Obama into drugs. Maybe Obama was traveling in Pakistan as a drug emmissary. Some homosexuals in Chicago said he was the biggest dealer there. The Alqeda is a drug cartel too. We really have no clue who this guy is. He seems likeable but I could not figure why people are willing to risk someone who has so little background. |
|
|
... According to a contact who is in touch with Keyes, the government is terrifed, has requested troops back home, and asked the media to keep the lid on for now. Violence will ruin our process even more. We need to find all legal channels at this point to find the truth. What divides us from Communism and terroist regimes is the willingness to use all legal and peaceful and Constitutional means. I really hope the courts can overlook legal technicalities and find reason to hear some of these suits.It is very clear the certifiers did not investigate and some states claim it's not their job to investigate. So I wrote Diane Feinstein asking if there are some laws that are needed regarding more stringent rules for certification. |

leave the country People of the U.S. of America.You should know by now what has happened to our government.It has been taken over by some one or some organization that no one knows.The writing is on the wall. First, a black man,comes out of no where with no credentials,and wins the senate election in illinois,and then becomes president of the U.S. of America all within a period of less then 4 years.Second,Certain people have caught up with some of his fraudulent doings and have taken them as far as the SCOTUS and it gets covered up immediately. We have been conned by our own government.My God ,what does it take for you idiots to see this.Leave this country and head for ,canada,mexico,or any place where you can protect your families.We will be fighting for our lives in a short period of time.ITS TIME TO LEAVE OR BAND TOGETHER |
|

... You got the last bit right, but the rest? Leave for where?? If this country goes there will no place left. Half of your suggestions already belong to the enemy. Why all this panic over Obama? These guys have controlled the Presidency (both parties) for most of century. Do you think that another Neocon would do anything much differnent? It's time to forget the Persidency and go to work where the action is, in the Congerssional districts. Otherwise there will be no place to run. Even if we do loose why run? Who wants to live like that. Shouldn't we all be saying "Give me Liberty or Give Me Death!" You all need to join us and help win this thing while we still can, and yes we still can. Or do you want to go and cower in the hills somewhere? |
|

An easier way Folks, there is a much simpler way. If Obama is trying to become president using a false document, that is a crime. Civil suits don't help in that case -- you just get told that you don't have standing. Mr. Berg and others, turn your evidence over to the criminal justice system. If you are right, those people have the power and the expertise to bring this to a swift conclusion. If you can't find a prosecutor to pursue the case, then maybe it isn't as open-and-shut as you think it is. |

GOOOH (go) You are correct: Congress is the key! Check out www.GOOOH.com. They have a plan to replace all 435 members of the U.S. House of Representatives with true representatives of the people. The time for change is now! Check out GOOOH. |
