Web-Based Movement Wants to Block Obama’s Move to White House

November 29th, 2008

Obama

 Before Barack Obama officially becomes president, the Electoral College has to vote him in on December 15. The Electoral College is an appointed body created by the founding fathers, to be the last safeguard with the voting power to certify or reject the President-elect after the American public votes for him or her on Election Day. Now, a small group, mostly based in the South, has started an Internet campaign questioning Obama’s citizenship, claiming that he was born in Kenya. State officials in several states report receiving an increased number of letters from citizens requesting the name, identity and contact info for their states reps to the Electoral College. Traffic on one Web site supporting the campaign, Obamacrimes.com, has spiked to 105 million hits since Election Day, reports the Christian Science Monitor. Former presidential hopeful Alan Keyes is involved in the movement and lawsuits have been filed in two states in an effort to block Obama’s presidency. “People are going after electors now because they can only vote for a qualified candidate, and [Obama] hasn’t shown he’s qualified,” says Philip Berg of Lafayette Hill, Pa., a Democrat and lawyer who has filed two lawsuits calling Obama’s citizenship into question. Experts say the chances of Electoral College members voting against the will of the people are next to none.  But the movement’s members are actively contacting Electoral College voters, with audacity and hope, in a last-ditch effort to switch the outcome of the historic ‘08 elections.

Let us all pray for Obama and his family,that God will give him wisdom,knowledge and the ablilty to run the country as God leads him.

CagedBeauty the DNC were given a copy of a birth certificate they were satisfied with, but Mr. Berg said it was not an acceptable copy, as it was not a notarized authentic birth certificate and he requested the correct birth certificate be produced. This request has been ignored by Barack Obama and his staff, even after it was ordered by the court. If he does not provide the document he will be in contempt of court. This has nothing to do with the color of his skin. Do I think the DNC would accept a bogus birth certificate? Good possibility. Another reason for the request is that his Grandmother in Kenya stated to a reporter that Obama was born in Kenya, she was at the hospital when he was born. Then he and his parents flew back to Hawaii when he was three days old. I am neither stupid or lacking a brain, dear, so be careful the next time you make a slanderous remark, the person may not be as nice, as I am. I have no problem with Obama being President. I have a problem with people who want to break laws, regardless which one it is. If he has the birth certificate, what is the big deal with providing it to the courts? Any American citizen has the right to request seeing this document, as he is an employee of the American people and not above the law. Stephanie, now I know and you know, I know, that Obama is not going to kindergarten, do not patronize me, dear. Why do you call Alan Keyes a coward? He is a man who believes in the word of God the way it was written, not the way the liberal media want to present it. I will pray for Obama, because he is our President elect and will be faced with many hard decisions in the future that will affect this country, it’s citizens, your family and mine. I have nothing against Mr. Obama and wish he and his family nothing but the best. I am just a stickler for following the codes of law. As for, why should he have to provide the document again, it’s never been provided.The swearing in will take place on Jan. 20th, not the 4th.

MATOVU JOHN Said on

HAY PEOPLE I THINK U SHOULD OBAMA ALONE WHY IS IT THAT U NEVER LIKE AFRICAN AMERICANS TO BE PRESIDENTS IS THAT WHAT YOU CALL UNITED STATES.



gladone Said on

WOW,
This lawyer guy and his friends are exercising their rights, good for them, but they should realise that the majority rules.Who do you intend to call as your witness??? where is your Evidence? You are wasting the courts time they should be finding you guilty of filing frivilous lawsuits and take some of your money to help PRESIDENT OBAMA bailout this sorry ass economy.

Now for some reality check for you and the electorial college. THis is the first time in a very long time that the people of america has taken to the streets “electorial street” to put who they want in the White House. This was an AMERICAN REVOLUTION without guns, knives and bloodshed. TO TRY to deny the people their VOICE now is trying to hold back the TSUNAMI, the country will be consumed. I do not think even OBAMA realise what he is a part of.



Cece Said on

Only in the United States of America would this type of nonsense be going on. All I can say is STAND TALL PRESIDENT ELECT BARACK OBAMA. The haters are coming in all shape, form and fashion!!!



xxxvdkxxx Said on

hope he doesn’t turn america into south africa or africa. blacks always mess up things.



gladone Said on

So my dear Lawyer friend and Jackie, I believe what you and Mr. Berg should be doing at this point in time is asking yourselves the question “What did the founding fathers had in mind when they stated in the constitution………..about the place of birth of the President, can it hold up in this time of globalization? lets look at Obama’s case he is 47 years old and to use your argument he spent 3 days at birth in Kenya and the rest of his life as an american citizen, did they want to bar such a citizen from running for the highest office? You I might guess spent at least 3 days of your life in some foreign country, should you be barred? should every american who travel out of the country be barred from being President? When those GUYS wrote that constitution the world was different, people did not travel and migrated that much the immigration and natrualization laws were what at that time.
Maybe you have a constitutional argument here.
What is the process/procedure for checking the birth place of the president elect, and candidates for the job has these procedures ever been followed before?
What is the statute of limitation on this? should we be asking for the notorised b/c of all the past presidents?
And what is the remedy you have in mind? should the election be re run? should the VP be promoted? should Mr Macain be appointed? Ms Palin should be sworn in? Or Hillary Clinton since she was eliminated by Mr Obama?

We have listen to you and you know the rule “Justice has to appear to be done” the people has spoken LOUDLY and the forefathers would have to listen.



gladone Said on

America cannot be more messed up than it is right now. Say thanks to George.



Milah Said on

Kamara Said on

I do not care if the man was born on MARS……….he won………the people have chosen the next President of the United States…….this isn’t a NORTH / SOUTH issue……stop the madness………lol……..



gladdy Said on

Change the constitution not the man
Dear Mr lawyer, Mr berg, Mr Keys, I must say that we all have a right to challenge legitimacy of the presidency.
You sir as a lawyer, I believe that you should ask yourself this question ” What did the founding fathers have in mind when they……say that the president should/must be born in the USA(citizen)??? How will this hold up in this time of globalization in our CHANGED world?
Then to use your argument Obama is 47 years old, he lived 3 days in Kenya at birth then spent the rest of his life as an American Citizen. Is this the person that they wanted to bar from holding the office of president???
You my friend, i am sure spent a couple of days maybe 3 days in a foreign country outside of beautiful USA, should you be barred from holding the office of the president.
You probably has very good challenge for the constitution on this issue, when it was written what was immigration and natrualization laws like in those days. The state of transportation at this time has made it so easy for people to move, migrate, marry and really mix things up, was this the type of society the founding fathers envisioned????
You guys do not get it the word has changed and srunk, please catch up you getting left behind

adrian Said on

As sad as this may sound, it was said during the campainge (when President elect Obama was campaigning against Hillary Clinton)that whites just expected that they would be placed into the position automatically and when they wake up to a dose of reality, they see that it was not automatic. Mr Obama presented himself very professionally and he was consistant throughout his campaigne.. a lot of what the repblicans did was played on that, “i am a true patriot crap”. many men served in the war, many men died, but all of this is not the prerequisite of obtaining the position as President of the United States. the prerequisite is appealing to the people with those tneeds that means most to them. Mr Obama did that so that is what earned him his position. And for all those who object, take a deep breath, relax, now accept it.



Suzette Said on

All I have to say is ‘BULLSYHT’ These crazy muthf#@$ers are jealous and they need to get over it. Theres is no other qualified but OBAMA!

karen bruce Said on

The world has change into a layer of total, ignorance,hatred,jeousey,.foolishness, have you to know some people can’t change, it’s not in them to accept what they been taught , from birth. You will see years of people dismantling, and accepting the time they lost distructing the system, then putting effort into joining and help to better the world, that is how some people are brought up. Some people think they will lose strenght if they make a change, not even thinking that, maybe they will get stronger due to change.The decissions they make will trample down to their kids, grandkids, greatgrand kids, but like i said some people ratter it that way, because as long as it is their way, nothing else matter. RIGHT.
