Wiley S. Drake, Sr. wileydrake@hotmail.com
Vice presidential Candidate Wiley S. Drake Sr. to file in court asking to de-certify Barack Obama because he has refused to release proof of being a Natural Born Citizen, thereby disqualifying Obama in his bid for the Office of President.
The recent Lawsuit in Washington State demanding their Secretary of State to vet the citizenship credentials of Barack Obama has spawned a slew of similar suits with new lawsuits filed and/or prepared in WA, FL, NC, CO, CA, OH, FL, CT, GA, TX, MI. Related lawsuits HI, US District.
As part of this effort, this group of citizens from states across the union made an outreach to the whole presidential slate asking each candidate for president and vice president to offer up a certified copy of their birth certificates and any related candidate declarations to be placed in a library made available to the public via a non-partisan web site.
At least one VP candidate Wiley S. Drake Sr. went the next step and agreed to file a lawsuit of his own to demand the disqualification of Barack Obama unless he can prove status as a ”Natural Born Citizen” as the constitution and federal statues demand and define.
In another unrelated action, though also aimed at forcing Obama to release proof or step down, 24 potential Electoral College electors are filing action Monday morning in court also demanding proof. A call is herein being issued to any elector in any state, especially democrat electors who would like to join that effort. Electors interested in adding their name to this lawsuit can contact Mr. Marquis who will put you in contact with the attorney handling that case.

I am glad people from the “college” are suing..surely they have standing.
We hope and pray.
if he’s a candidate for vice president, he has standing.
Praying! Encourage all around you to remember to VOTE tomorrow!!!!
We need a ton of these legal threats out there, bombarding Obama, should he “win” tomorrow.
I hope it’s not too late. What would happen should Hussein win if the courts declare him not qualified to be President? Would Biden take over? What about the riots? Still, I’ll hold on to any hope, no matter how small. And most of all, I WILL VOTE! I just got to think that, where I live all poll watchers are democrats, so if my name is in the list of registered voters, at the end of the day what keeps them from adding one more vote for Hussein? Yesterday, I discussed with my Sunday school adult class the Christian duty to vote and I also reminded them of the consequences of “leaving their votes unused” at the polling place.
Agree, why did they wait. If this is one State then it effects one State only.
I’m missing something as the election will continue minus that State.
So go be a poll watcher.
I am fairly certain courts would find that only a presidential candidate has “standing” to bring such a suit, as bizarre as that sounds.
Alan Keyes’ running mate, American Independent Party. Good on yer, Wiley, but take not yon votes from Sarah and John.
CALL FOR ACTION:
Please, all Fellow FREEPERS, please consider doing the following to prevent this mess ever happening again:
Call your State Senator, your State Representative and your Governor and ask them to provide simple legislation to give the Secretary of State the right, responsibility and obligation to confirm eligibility BEFORE ANYONE can go onto the ballot.
Personally, I think the best way to contact them is by phone during business hours, then a follow up by e-mail or mail to the person you talked to, then a follow-up a week or so later, but you can do what you think is best.
Practically, this would require all future candidates to fill out an application with supporting documentation, which could then be checked out by the Secretary of State’s office.
I don’t know about you, buy THIS idea seems a better use of our governments time then providing yet another social program designed to ruin people by not having them be accountable to their families (a basic problem).
If there is an enterprising lawyer or legislator on Free Republic who would like to provide well written sample legislation which could be submitted as a suggestion across the country, it would provide a basis for continuity.
Hope there are many, many people across the country who are willing to do this now, and after the election.
Remember..... 2012 is coming!
I was wondering about that...but maybe the argument might be that the VP candidate’s job is dependent on the President being elected...and if Joe Biden was running it would be a different race.
I am beginning to think anyone but Obmama...so even if he gets elected and then gets kicked out Biden would be better than the alternative..
of course the country will go to hell in riots if Obama is disqualified.
Exactly. I can’t believe that there were not laws on the books in each state, or a Federal law that required an official to certify that a candidate met the Constitutional requirements prior to placing their name on the ballot.
How do you go about it? Can anybody volunteer? And I am talking not just about my precint, but county-wide (perhaps near to state-wide, with exceptions for a handful of heavily populated counties). We really don’t have a local Republican party to talk about. The only thing that keeps me going is the thought that, at the end, it is the overall number of votes that determines if the state goes for one party or the other, not the number of precints that go for each candidate. That and the fact that one day I will have to stand in front of the Judgment Seat of Christ and give account of all my actions, votes included!
Well, there sure seems to be ABSOLUTELY no process for determination.
It sure seems like a logical thing to me that anyone going onto a ballot should have to fill out an application with applicable paperwork (vault copy of BC perhaps?)
Too late for this election, either the voters or the courts will have to get through this, but WE THE PEOPLE need to fight to right this loophole. Don’t rely on the RNC, the DNC or the legislatures doing the right thing without prodding.
Everyone who is horrified at this should get active. We shouldn’t need “activists” to tell us what we can and should do. We are Americans and we have the obligation to correct this.
I think we are incredibly vulnerable to anti-American terrorists “buying” an election and changing the way we live forever. Lets close the loophole.
It would only be Biden until it is resolved. I am unsure of the exact process, but I am pretty sure the decision would be between Hillary Clinton (who never gave up her delagates) and McCain.
I am just unsure if Congress decides or another general election is held or if the electoral college is reconvened.
I think you can make phone calls from home. If you go the McCain website I think you can get onto the rotation to make calls.
Through the Electoral College if O wins, then if he gets no support then, he will continue the suit after O is president. He says we cannot have a president making constitutional law if he is not constitutionally legal.
When O looses, Berg still plans upon pursuing the case. He stated clearly that O and Dean need to be held criminally liable for this crime.
It was pretty good.
If 0bama is successful in stealing the election, we’ll have a Constitutional Crisis. I’m not as concerned with his birth certificate, although there appears to be strong evidence that he was born in Kenya, as I am with his subsequent claiming (as Barry Soetoro) Indonesian citizenship AND his apparent travel to Pakistan (when US citizens were barred from traveling there) on and Indonesian? passport.
I just think that there is NOTHING we can do about Obama. Regardless of this election, a terrible flaw has been revealed. If Obama had been required to provide documentation, we would be working with hard information, not just a bunch of guesses forced on us by a complete vacuum of information.
This seems like a simple legislative effort should be put into place. Every citizen can contact their state representatives and ask them to craft legislation to require future candidates to prove eligibility.
We cannot focus on what we wish, but what hard effort needs to happen. The people of the country that are outraged over any aspect of the eligibility question need to start making phone calls.
The states determine what requirements are necessary, and they have abdicated their responsibilities to the parties. This is not good enough. They need to act responsibly here to prevent such a mess from ever happening again.
Yes, anyone can volunteer. Contact the local GOP office. If you can't find one, try contacting a local or regional McCain/Palin office.
This is probably too late to have consequence in this election, however it would be great to pursue this and have Obama permanently locked out of ever running for president again.
I don’t think he’s going to be elected tomorrow anyway.
Maybe in the future people should change their party affiliation to Independent, just for the election.
YES, please pursue this. If we don’t, it will never be fixed. We don’t have to have legislation in every state, but if a few big ones and a few small ones will change the law, you can bet it will be a huge deterrent.
So, your state representative, your state senator and your governor. Give the right, the responsibility and the obligation to the Secretary of State.
Call, write or e-mail today, then follow up next week, then talk to everyone you know and get them to sign a simple petition and mail it to your representatives, get friends and neighbors to contact their representatives.
Please, don’t let this one fall into the cracks. surely there are enough of us outraged at this total lack of oversight that we can make a difference. Don’t forget about it next week or next month. Keep on it. Remind yourself, put it onto your calendar and your PDA. Hold everyone’s feet to the fire to CHANGE.
Remember, as Senator McCain says, we are AMERICANS, we fight for our freedoms, we fight, we never give up.
We don’t need a fancy infrastructure to effect change. A phone, a letter, passion and information are your best tools.
Maybe in the future people should change their party affiliation to Independent, just for the election.
I don’t really care what party he is with. Maybe he has standing.
He has NO standing, even in his own denomination.
If he’s running for VP, he has standing according to Jones v Bush, 2000.
No! Wiley Drake Sr. is a total nutcase.
OK, your point is well taken.
Anyway, the cases in place will move forward. We need to look ahead to resolve the original loophole.
Welcome to the party. The party should have started six months ago though.
WHY did not he do this earlier? I am on pins and needles, and things like this are like a cruel joke. The election is less than 24 hours away now.
I haven’t been able to find what party Drake is running for. I’ve only found a Drake who ran for the Southern Baptist Convention’s second vice president.
...and after the election, if McCain wins, we can say " we were incredibly close to witnessing an anti-American terrorist “buying” an election and changing the way we live forever. Lets close the loophole."
Dear xxxxx:
During the current election it has come to light that apparently there is no Federal Provision or State Provision to ensure a Presidential candidate's eligibility before placing their name on ballot. This came to light because Sen. Barack 0bama has steadfastly refused to provide a certified birth certificate showing that he qualifies as “Native Born” as required by Article II Section 1 of the US Constitution.
The applicable section is as follows:
No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.
Furthermore, in Sen. 0Bama's case, there is good reason to believe he may have at some point renounced his US Citizenship and embraced foreign citizenship, even to the extent of traveling under a foreign passport.
There have been several challenges to Sen. 0Bama's eligibility in numerous lawsuits filed across the Country. Should he win election, be elected by the Electoral College and sworn in, and then subsequently found to be ineligible, he would be a Usurper and any actions, orders, etc. by him would be null and void. This would spawn a Constitution crisis.
Therefore I request that you submit legislation to the Georgia Legislature that directs the Secretary of State prior to placing an individual's name on the ballot in Georgia, to verify a Presidential Candidate's eligibility in accordance with Article II, Section 1 of the US Constitution by personally viewing and verifying certified birth records and to make a good faith attempt to determine if any subsequent actions pertaining to citizenship occurred. This would apply to all candidates for President, including incumbents.
We are required at several times in our life to present valid documentation for things as mundane as drivers licenses, passports, etc. Surely, requiring proof of eligibility for President should require as much.
This is terrific! Can I copy and post this as I continue my quest?
I just hope everyone doesn’t forget that this revealed a terrible flaw in our system.
We sure need to continue in the following weeks and months to protect our rights for the next election.
Yes. Please do and make any enhancements, etc. necessary. We need to strike while it is still fresh in the public’s mind.
Hopefully we can keep track of any further lawsuit progressions and continue to hammer it. I will follow up here in California and hope it will do some good.
We have a couple of really good representatives for our very conservative district and I hope they can bring this to the floor.
If California is able to bring about change, it would change the entire country.
