WASHINGTON – WND today announces the launching of an online petition designed to enlist the public's help in demanding evidence of Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility for the office of the presidency.
The electronic petition calls on all controlling legal authorities to take seriously the matter of where and when and to whom Obama was born and whether he qualifies as a "natural-born American citizen," according to Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution.
"This is a very unusual step for us to take," said Joseph Farah, founder, editor and chief executive officer of the leading independent online news source. "I have long resisted the temptation toward corporate activism – even avoiding the tradition of corporate editorial positions and political endorsements. We do those things individually as columnists and pundits, but WND has rarely engaged in taking editorial stands as most newspapers do."

Where was Joseph Farah when the Patriot act was running a carriage and four through the fourth amendment?
Yeah, I am all for forcing transparency on whether Obama meets the constitutional requirements for citizenship and am number 889 to sign the petition. I suspect we may be facing a constitutional crisis.
I would feel alot better about facing such a thing if conservatives in general had given much of a damn about it (the constitution) over the last 8 years. Every time someone raised the issue, there was a howl of rejoinders from the brainless neocons accusing you of being 1) a closet Democratic Underground sycophant or 2) a “Paultard truther.”
It was considered an effective “argument” to pull out flashy pictures of the World Trade Center under attack as justification for the Bush admin to eviscerate the fourth, granting the kind of draconian powers that if a Democrat asked for them, we would be aghast and ready to riot.
As it is, the leftists are going to accuse you of only caring about the constitution when your team is threatened. The sad thing is, for many, this is accurate.
Get Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh or one single Republican Senator or Congressman to embrace your cause, and I will take your case seriously.
Otherwise, it is just kind of weird.
I jumped off the bandwagon after seeing a birth notice for Obama printed in 1961 in the Honolulu newspaper.
Was that a conspiracy too?
If they don't, wrap your heads around "President Biden". We lose either way.
I could get a birth notice for Barack Obama printed in a Honolulu newspaper today. It would take a phone call and a few dollars.
I heard on line petitions were/are useless?
If there is really a case (I remain skeptical) then you just have to count the votes on the USSC. Alito, Scalia, Thomas and Roberts are serious constitutionalists. Stevens, Souter, Ginsberg and Breyer are all leftists and can be counted on to put him in office no matter what.
That leaves Kennedy, as usual. My guess is that he will look at the political upheaval and constitutional crisis this would create and decide that “for the good of the country” he would vote to certify.
This assumes that we have some “there” there in the issue of Obama’s original nationality. My wife has been an absolute bird dog on this stuff and has read every web site from here to Kathmandu. I remain skeptical, but able to be convinced.
I have to say AGAIN that I really wish conservatives had shown this level of concern for the constitution when the Bush admin was assaulting it (and they did!).
Rush did bring the issue of the birth certificate out on his show.
It is an important constitutional issue and one that is simple to rectify. Show the original certificate and close the case.
Oh - come on - do some research on this. A birth notice is not a birth certificate. Nor is a COLB a birth certificate.
BTTT
Yeah, it's Called the America the constitutional republic. where is yours? The Democrat Underground America hating loony bin?
What about the riots and lawlessness if the law DOESN'T apply to Obama?
If it doesn't apply to Obama, it applies to NOBODY!
No taxes, no traffic laws, nothing.
