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.

Shannon, I agree with you. People do need to look at what Obama is like on the inside instead of focusing on what he is on the outside. If the American people would have done that from the beginning, MCCain would have become president-elect. They would have seen Obama for who he REALLY is instead of turning their heads to it bc they wanted a black president SOOO bad. Pathetic. Everyone is so focused on yelling at the people who DON’T want Obama prez just bc he is black (as they should bc that is NO reason to not vote for someone), they forgot or are ignoring the fact that most people who voted for him want him in office BECAUSE he is black. And then there are the handful of people like me who actually care about TRUE equality and the genuine welfare of our country. People who could care less if our prez is black, white, asian, hispanic, european, jewish, etc. and see people for who they ARE and not what they LOOK like. We just want the RIGHT man/woman as our Commander and Chief. Sadly, bc people like me are a rare breed apparently, the WRONG person is headed for the white house. Barack Hussein Obama.

I am tired of all the people that keep refering to Obama’s white half as though that is his redeeming quality, like it legitimizes him, or makes up for his black half. The world has been ruled by Europeans for hundreds of years now and look at the mess it is in. Obama got to where he is just like any other poor hard working American, black or white. No one saw his white half. When they looked at him they saw a black man and he had to overcome the same racism as the rest of Black America.

As for black people being racists, that is the most ignorant thing I have heard and it is ignorant for blacks to believe that about themselves. We are angry and tired. Despite slavery, jim crow, water hoses, beatings, lynchings (the list goes on and on) we still joined the armed forces, worked, and voted for white males who continued the onslaught of terror against us. Give me a break! African AMericans are the most accepting people on this earth. We turn on ourselves before we harm others. Riots are a prime example, we detsroyed our own communities. WE allowed our sons to bring home their other than black lovers when often times they were not accepted in those communities, indeed our sons were killed for it, but we kept smiling and accepting. Stop letting “others” tell us that we are racists. Look to our long history of struggle and terror in this country and how we continued to ask for acceptance and tolerance. We are a people who are basically full of love for everyone else except ourselves!

Peace!

This internet organization probably is a bunch of white folks that are mad because we have a black president. Get over it! But if McCain would’ve won I bet they wouldn’t be making a fuss over MCain not being born in the U.S.

I figured voting Obama in the White House would rear it’s ugly head..and even worse it’s just starting. We will have to put up with this for the next 4 yrs. My heart goes out to the Obama family, I know these are trying times and they will need all the support they can gather. The funny thing is everything seems to be stemmed from this mans racial background..wake up America!! WE AIN’T ALL WHITE!!!! We consist of many colors and creeds and are SUPPOSED to be created equal. I have white people all up and through my family and they are just as happy for our President elect as I am. Putting this man and his family through this is pointless. I wish you who dont like it would get over it and move on…when Bush got in we didnt give ya’ll hell so be kind enough to show the same respect…

OBAMA FOR CHANGE!!!!



ashley Said on

What I don’t understand is why so many people are going against Barak Obama being president? They keep digging trying to find something new to stop him from taking office. Now they say Obama shouldn’t be president because he was born in Kenya, well if you fill like that why is a foreign body builder the govenor of California? I’m so tired of all this racism in America, S***, I mean we should all be trying to come together to repair our country instead of worrying about where our President elect was born. Everyone just needs to grow up and see the BIG picture.

There is no half black. If anyone so thinks that he or she is, I challenge you to place yourself amongst a group of whites – call the police, give them a location and say that there is a black person is causing a commotion… place yourself amongst a group of black people and say that there are a group of blacks causing a commotion. In the former and the latter, see if you will be excluded as being black. It is highly doubtful that anyone is 100% anything!

I have a voice and its well past a time when it should be used. Obama has a passport – American. One must be an American to receive this passport.

There were two primary candidates engaged in this election. One has been and continues to be questioned and considered not tested. Whilst the other was often referred to as an American hero and thus a person who knows how to win a war. Mccain is a Vietnam Era veteran and former prisoner of war. A war that America lost – so many young Americans lost their lives during this war. A prisoner of war during any war, might be subjected to torture, but torture would remain subjective a term. It is apparent to me that Mccain is not a hero, as a hero would not be alive – as he or she would never have given classified information to preserve his or her life – such a person would’ve died for this country. Mccain is not a hero and has not the experience to win a war… but if this was not worthy of mention or questionable during the campaign. Unless the laws have been changed, it is my belief that the Uniformed Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) succinctly states that a soldier who gives classified information (anything other than “name, rank and serial number) may be considered as committing an act of treason… . I’m done with Mccain and those who chose to glorify in contrast to others who have served this country and perhaps blindly – who volunteers to serve in our armed forces and why? This is certainly important and questionable, as one who volunteers for any job or duty, does so willingly and for some purpose beneficial. Such a person should have the option to quit the job or duty when deemed necessary or desirable by the volunteer. During the Vietnam era, some were drafted and some were volunteers and, some volunteered in order to escape the confines of jail or prison. Does anyone truly believe that our military is void of those who would be criminals if not employed or “owned” by our military?
Do the research and find the truth and report it! One reason that America has been hated by those outside of its borders, is because of its treatment of Blacks and other minorities. Advertisements asking for Americans (all) to support impoverished people (notably in Africa) have run for years. Yet American blacks have been and still remain the only ethnic group having no foreign government to contact about being mistreated. The American government is the government of blacks whose ancestors were slaves who did not volunteer to serve America. Albeit for the most part, this country was built by the same slaves. Kenya has never been of assistance to American blacks… and certainly not a single vote was cast by a citizen of Kenya in deciding this election. Barrack Obama is a Black American who would be called a negro or colored boy during past times… who is probably considered the same as of this day, in places and amongst people who have not realized that these are new times or, simply refuse to concede to these new times. Hence there is no half black nor half white. As a slight majority, Americans are seemingly more in touch with these new times… but amongst those who were able to and did vote, how many were actually qualified (mentally) to vote?
I know my writing is all over the place so to speak, but so is this issue.

God is in control and Alen Keys and his troops is not God. The devil is mad I remember a song in church we use to sing. Which was devil we’re going to tare your kingdom down, so now satan is scarred his kingdom is being torn down. All we need to do is keep praying without ceasing.



Blac Knight Said on

I would like to start by saying that i think that people should found better things to do with their than pick someone that they don’t like. This man wants to do so much for this country and those “Good Old Boys” don’t like the fact that a Black man won the right to become president of the Untied States. Whoever is doing this you need to look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself the question should you really be here. I love the fact that we finally got someone that i think will not kiss these rich upper white people ass to get what they want in life and another is some people are mad that Obama is someone that didn’t kiss ass to win the race a change has come and a new era has begun either jion the team or get out of the way.

OBAMA RULEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am shocked that Alan Keyes, a black man would be part of an effort to prohibit Obama from being installed as the 44th president of our great nation. Alan and all the other blacks who are part of this effort may be American but they certainly need to be removed our census records as members of the black population of this country. That group of people need another descriptive term for easy identification. Maybe they should be known as oreo American, black on the outside but white on the inside. On the other hand, giving them that name is insulting to White America. Obama made it clear that there is not a Black American or a White America but the United States of America. Calling them zebra is an insult to a species of beautiful animals that love all their stripes equally. Zebra is not a good term to describe them. The best descriptive term for the Alan Keyes of America is “zero”. They are Zero Americans, those with nothing good to say, nothing good to do or nothing good to offer. They are empty vessels, talking loud but saying nothing, contributing nothing because nothing from nothing leaves nothing. But in spite of the zeros in our nation, Obama says he will be their president too. God Bless Obama.



Elaina B Said on

man the white folk just cant accept the fact that a black man has been voted in to run our country. well ya know- get used to it. you can complain all you want but this man is going to get us out of the hole that we are in. now if you like living poor and can’t even afford gas for your car or food for your house and so on- then please by all means keep doin that. But if you want to make life better for you and your family then leave Obama alone and let him do his thing- HATERS

charlotte jackson Said on

I’m quite sure obana knows the policy & regulations that’s required in oder to run for the president of united states and i’m sure the goverment wouldn’t allow him to be a senator w/o being a ciitizens of us. some folks need to get a life and let history be made.



James Said on

MAn the hell with those dum-ass haters, just because a black man beat o white man fair & square now he needs a back round check! Yhea right! To all those stupid -ass redneck & racist people we are here noe get over it, now the truth has come to light. Yhall kept most of us out for far to long & now yhall can’t stand that we didn’t have to cheat to win or use scare tactics. “CHECK MATE” HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!



CtheCross Said on

Well all I have to say is who in America is a true citizen? The only one who can say that they came to America 1st are was here already before Europeans were the Native Americans. So from Arnold Schwaztnaeger as Governor to many other Foreigners this is very petty and obsurbed also irrelavent. Understanding that the words United (means various nationalities that make up this country from ancestors of slaves from the East coast to the Southern States) to everyone else that are here, including aliens(foreigners) from other countries/continents. Barack was born in Hawaii I believe, so the will of the people has spoken.



Mr. Lowe Said on

yeah.. Keyes is a true House Slave for this one. He was born in Hawaii. STOP IT! You’re going down in history as a baseless hater!

from Wikipedia:
Barack Obama was born at the Kapi’olani Medical Center for Women & Children in Honolulu, Hawaii.

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 they want to start this bull. They should stepped in when Bush was put in office. Put Put Put in office cause he didn’t win.

GO TO HELL YOU CONFEDERATES AND REMNANTS OF THE KKK………BULLS, LIES AND REMORSE. LIKE IT OR NOT HE IS PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA!!!

You have got to be kidding me…. These people are worse than dirt. get a life racist…



Mitch Said on

I am from the south… born and raised. I voted for Barrack and I’m proud he won. This is yet another diversion tactic created to divide the races and keep it that way. Think if we all got together and stopped blaming white people for all of our problems and white people stopped accusing us of all the worlds ills. I mean really, think how strong this nation would be if all citizens were on one accord and didn’t blame and stereotype everyone else. Everyone from the south is not a neanderthal or redneck or racist. Sweeping generalizations accomplish nothing and further makes my point that this is all created to make blacks and whites stay at odds. Wake up people.
