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.

Many of you will not admit it but you are just as confused about this issue as republicans. The only reason BO will not release his original birth certificate is one of the following:

1. It contains some damaging information he does not want released to the public
2. He is doing a diabolical experiment refusing to release it simply to annoy a large part of the country.

So which is it? Any normal person would have released it long ago. Stop defending something that is not defendable!

This summarizes it well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJc6uczdhE0

With all the noise about his citizenship, I chose to make one point. His mother is a u.s citizen which makes him a u.s citizen from birth. His birth certificate says that he was born in hawaii but even if he wasnt I repeat that his mother was born in u.s.

How Does One Become a US Citizen by Birth?

You are an American citizen by birth if you were born in the US.

You are an American citizen by birth (in most cases), even if you were born outside the US but if both your parents are US citizens, and at least one of them lived in the US at some point in his/her life.
You are an American citizen by birth (in most cases), if, according to the USCIS guide ALL of the following is true:
One of your parents were a U.S. citizen when you were born;
Your citizen parent lived at least 5 years in the United States before you
were born; and
At least 2 of these 5 years in the United States were after your citizen
parent’s 14th birthday.
These people do not have a leg to stand on.

yours Said on

Hey, This is to Yours Truly….Remember.,.. .Slavery …..was once law of the land….I agree w/laws of the land……as long as they do not conflct w/God’s law…… I would assume that all necessary doc. that were needed would have been received before a person were allowed to run. …And their request now has everything to do w/RACE……The South is still filled with a bunch of tobacco spitting, first cousin dating, IGNORANT,hill billy, Racist……Who probably can’t spell Barack Obama…let alone -have the capability to even read a birth certificate…Yours Truly- I live in LA and it is still a very racist place…..And most of the Hill Billies here don’t want a Black Pres.over them…..The request for a Birth Cert this late in the Game…..is equivalent Jim Crow…..



sheffield Said on

My first reaction was … Man — are they serious… no way he’s not a citizen…

then I did some googlin…

he is holding back his actual birth certificate
the birth paper he posted someone said was forged… doctored up using photoshop
he locked down his college records
he won’t show his passport
a lot of his state senate records from Illinois are sealed
somebody is saying the president has to be a natural born citizen… both parents must be US citizens…Barack said his father was Kenyan… so even though he was born in Hawaii they’re telling me he’s not NATURAL BORN… man… what in the world is natural born…?
what gives… I mean none of this came out in the press before so why now?



Kelsey Said on

brent Said on

uumm i think they wouldnt have let Obama get this far and NOT look into his citizenship. But seriously people. I am not suprised by this being it coming from the south and all.



Ava november 30th 2008 Said on

Hey you small group of people wherever you are I voted for Obama, and some people just need to get grateful for a person to want to do something for America, If you like your situation of your economics then go ask Bush to stay where he is and the situation will not change, We finally got a chance to prove to the world that Blacks, whites, Mexicans don’t have to do crime, but can have a chance at anything they want to do in life. Try getting a life and leave Obama alone. Whether from Kenya or Australia to Nebraska, He is a man that loves America and is willing to help us change.

OBAMA fight back cause you are the man man of the world

Obama’s elgibility is being challenged because:
1.) He may not be a naturalized citizen.
2.) He has not produced a vault certified birth certificate.
3. He has locked down his Harvard Law School records,
4. Columbia and Occidental college– locked down.
5. Passport– refuses to release it.
6. Medical records: 1 page letter from doctor saying he is good health… thanks Barrack
7. Illinois senate records— not released.

To be eligible he has to be a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. Look it up. He has to have been born to US citizen parents on US soil. He wasn’t.

How did he slip by with all this. Is it because of his race? His politics? The press who seem to not care? The Democrats and Republicans who never raised this issue? How did this get so far?

That’s the right starting point. How did he get this far without out having to tow the line regarding his eligibility. And why is he being protected by both parties and the press and various government workers…

DColeman Said on

This is all stupid and I don’t see spending a lot of time on it. I did a little checking to see what is required to be met before anyone is qualified to run for President of my Country. I’m sure all of this was checked by many folks “before” Obama was put on the ticket! And only because he did meet the requirements was he “allowed” to run!
——–
Under the terms of the United States Constitution, someone who wants to become the President must be a United States citizen who is at least 35 years old. These are the only legal requirements for the position.

The terms of citizenship are interpreted very strictly. A President must be a natural born citizen, meaning that immigrants are not eligible to run for President, no matter how long they have lived in the United States. If a child of American citizens is born abroad, he or she is technically considered a natural born citizen, and can therefore hold Presidential office. In addition, a Presidential candidate must have actually lived in the United States for at least 14 years, presumably so that he or she is aware of general issues which impact the American populace.

Most citizens also expect a President to be of good character. The morals and ethics of Presidents are often carefully scrutinized, especially by their opponents, so it is generally a good idea to keep a clean slate if you think you might run for President some day.

All American Presidents have been religious, and they have had families as well. Although these two traits are by no means required to run for President, they are expected, especially in the Bible Belt states. Experience is also a useful tool for Presidential campaigns. Most citizens prefer to vote for people who have served in public office before, since it implies that the candidate is experienced in dealing with similar positions. Military experience is also expected of many Presidents, especially those who are old enough to have served in a major war.

Another important aspect of running for President is public speaking and charisma. Presidents must beat a lengthy and often grueling campaign trail, criss-crossing the country in an effort to garner votes. As a result, they must be able to speak persuasively and clearly about major issues while they run for President, especially in Presidential debates. Charisma makes a Presidential candidate more accessible to potential voters, which can strengthen a campaign greatly, as it certainly did during the Kennedy campaign in 1960.

IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT PEOPLE SAY OR DO, WHATEVER THE WILL OF GOD IS, THAT’S WHAT IT IS AND NO ONE CAN CHANGE IT NOT EVEN IF THEY WANTED TOO, SO JUST SIT BACK RELAX AND WATCH GOD MOVE! I FEEL SORRY FOR THE ONE’S WHO DON’T KNOW THAT GOD IS ALIVE! HE IS DOING A MIGHTY WORK IN HIS PEOPLE AND HIS GLORY IS AMONG US NOW, SO MY ADVICE IS TO JUST STAY PRAYERFUL AND CAREFUL. EVERYONE HAVE A BLESSED DAY!
