(WA) Lawsuit Challenges Obama's Birthplace (Here's Another One!)

OLYMPIA--Don't look for it to derail the inauguration next month, but people continue to try to stop the presidency of Barack Obama by questioning whether he is a "native born" American.

Thirteen Washington voters last week filed a lawsuit with the state Supreme Court trying to prevent Washington's 11 Electoral College delegates from officially casting their votes for Obama on Dec. 15.

". . . Our efforts to declare the ineligibility of the candidate Barack Hussein Obama for the office of President of the United States have been futile to date," the 13 wrote, saying that they have no choice but to turn to the state's highest court. They want a court order telling state election officials to "set aside" those Obama votes.

A superior court judge in King County rejected a similar challenge shortly before the election, and the U.S. Supreme court this week dismissed without comment a nearly identical case filed in New Jersey.

In every case, the primary allegations are that Obama's Hawaii birth certificate is fake, and that he was secretly born in Kenya. Another key contention is that as a child, he lost his U.S. citizenship while living briefly in Indonesia. (Similar allegations were raised about GOP candidate John McCain, who was born into a military family stationed in the Panama Canal Zone.

"The state's position is that the secretary of state has neither the authority nor the requirement to investigate the candidates' qualifications for president and vice president," said Dave Ammons, spokesman for Washington's top elections official, Secretary of State Sam Reed.

Hope more lawsuits surface. I'm surprised this even made the paper copy. MSM is doing it's best not to report anything negative of their golden boy, osama hussein.

Not true. The D'onofrio case had nothing to do with a birth certificate.

Waste of time and money at this point since these will be tossed at the lowest levels of the judiciary, based upon this week’s SCOTUS decisions refusing to hear the cases.

[Minnesoootan]

I wish ALL these lawsuits were worded “BHO must prove he is eligible” rather than we prove he’s not....

[hoe_cake]

I am assuming suits have been filed against past presidents-elect.

If so, my question is have more suits been filed protesting this president-elect than in the past?

Some Hawaii state agencies do not accept the “Certification of Live Birth”, which is all Obama has produced (and it is questioned) as irrefutable verification of Hawaiian birth. There have been numerous cases when the Hawaii Family Court System required more detailed data for paternity suits. Additionally, the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands provides the following guidelines to Hawaiian natives applying for Hawaiian Home Lands homestead: The primary documents used to show you are of age and a qualified native Hawaiian are: - A certified copy of Certificate of Birth; - A certified copy of Certificate of Hawaiian Birth, including testimonies; or - A certified copy of Certificate of Delayed Birth. “In order to process your application, DHHL utilizes information that is found only on the original Certificate, which is either black or green. This is a more complete record of your birth than the Certification of Live Birth (a computer-generated printout). Submitting the original Certificate will save you time and money since the computer-generated Certification requires additional verification by DHHL.”

The more the merrier.

Technically, he’s not the President elect until the electoral college votes. Maybe SCOTUS has no authority until then. Who knows. We’ll just have to wait and see.

[cripplecreek]

That was the impression I got from the Berg case.

[DJ MacWoW]

Me too. I guess that technically, Obama is in “limbo” until the 15th.

[Frantzie]

You are either not paying attention, a keyboard commando naysayer in the RINO “let’s move on” mold or you are an Obot.

Berg’s case was expected to be tossed. Leo’s case was messy due to fraud in NJ and Cort’s case (essentially written by Leo) was stronger than Leo’s (first) case.

If Scalia had felt Cort’s case was just a rehash of Leo’s - it would have never been scheduled for the full court tomorrow. Leo and others think Scalia and possibly Thomas felt Cort’s case was cleaner and stronger than Leo’s (first) case. Leo had little time to write up the first case. His second attempt in Cort’s case is much better.

You're kidding me, right?

The next time you say something this stupid, newbie, you should first check my fairly lengthy posting history.

This is what a Copy of a Certificate of Live Birth (some data redacted) issued by the State of Hawaii, Department of Health in July 1962 for the Birth of a male child in February 1962 on the Island of Oahu looks like. Note the State of Hawaii, Department of Health official embossed seal and official signatures of the then Director of Health, Leo Bernstein, MD and the then Registrar General, Charles G. Bennett. The State of Hawaii officials’ signatures and the date the document was issued are underlined in red. This document is a photographic copied image. It is a black background document with white letters which clearly were created by a 1962 typewriter. A document similar to this is what most of the lawsuits about the record of birth of Obama are asking to be released for public viewing.

The second image is a copy of the Certification of Live Birth document which has been repeatedly “published” on a number of web sites as the Official version of Obama’s birth record from the State of Hawaii. This is no actual place of birth (hospital, plantation, farm, etc.) shown. See boxes #6a through 6d of the document shown in the first image. There is also no Department of Health official embossed seal on this document.

On November 1, 2008, the following email was send:

To The Honorable Linda Lingle Dear Governor Lingle,

I ask that you release all information that the State of Hawaii Department of Health has on Senator Barack Obama's Certificate of Live Birth documentation.

Certainly over 100 million or so Americans, our countrymen, who will be voting on November 4th, 2008 deserve to have this information be publicly made available to them as part of the information they will weigh concerning a candidate as each of them places their vote for President on or before this date.

I can think of no higher purpose for any government entity or branch, than to ensure full, fair, and accurate information is given about a Presidential candidate.

As you well know, the "COLB" or other documents presented as true copies by the Barack Obama campaign website are false and have been digitally modified. As you must realize, this falsification of a presupposed State of Hawaii "official" record, directly and indirectly damages all State of Hawaii real birth records.

These falsehoods from the Obama campaign are a direct attack on the integrity of your governorship and on the integrity of all records kept by the State of Hawaii.

When you took your oath of Office as Governor of the state of Hawaii, did you not also swear to uphold the Constitution of the United States?

By not addresses this issue how and fully, you are also directly denigrating the official State of Hawaii recognition of the birth record of my son who was born in Hawaii just several months after the date of the record(s) in question.

This issue MUST be answered by the truth. By not addresses this issue, you are not fulfilling your oath of office.

Resident of the State of Hawaii

1960 – 1963

As a response the following statement attributed to the current Director of Health for the State of Hawaii, Chiyome Fukino, MD and the current Registrar General per their joint press release on October 31, 2008 was returned by email: in part: “Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawaii, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures.”.

Their complete public statement clearly made no references to the key data to be found in #6 boxes and well as the supporting data as in the #7 boxes in the first image. Box #16 shows the birthplace of the mother. Box #11 shows the birth place of the father. (In the modern secular world this person would also be known as the sperm donor.)

In fact this response by the office of the Governor of the State of Hawaii was a very disingenuous and a fraudulent response to my original query.

If you had the responsibility to investigate, qualify and vet someone who is to be given a United States Military Top Secret, No Foreign Special Access Security Clearance including the nuclear weapons launch control codes, which document of the two images shown would you find acceptable as a genuine State of Hawaii government issued “Record of a Birth” in the State of Hawaii?

You be the Judge (Roberts, Souter, Ginsburg, Scalia, Stevens, Alito, Kenny, Breyer, Thomas). _______________________________

“Waste of time and money at this point since these will be tossed at the lowest levels of the judiciary, based upon this week’s SCOTUS decisions refusing to hear the cases.” - VR

Found - recent post indicating keyboard “naysayerness.”

(Just calling it like I see it.)

[Frantzie]

Ahh...the old “if you do not agree with my RINO rantings of let’s move on you must be a newbie” arguement. Sad.

My guess another sham-nesty McCainiac who is a afriad of the MSM attacking Conservatives who support the Constitution as racists. Bring it on MSM liars.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Well, you can bury your head in the sand and deny the fact that these cases are going no where fast, in light of SCOTUS' clear signal to lower courts that it is not interested in pursuing the birth certificate issue

OR

you can focus your attention and energy on the Blagojevich-Obama-Rezko corruption syndicate, which is growing real legs, albeit about six weeks too late.

Your choice...

[Triple]

just out of curiosity, have you heard of anything being made out of the fact that Obama is listed in the COLB As “barack Hussein Obama II, and his father is listed as BHO.

Wouldn’t Obama be a Jr. rather than a II, if he was named after his daddy.

How come we never see Jr or II following his name on anything?

So, I’m a RINO McCainiac, huh? That’s real funny, coming from a newbie.
