Free Republic

Two members of Congress have begun to express doubts about Barack Obama's eligibility in statements that constituents have forwarded to WND, including one from Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., who said, "Any circumvention of these constitutional requirements would be a slap in the face to the rule of law and our very democracy." The second comment came from Rep. Blake Farenthold, R-Texas, who told a constituent that it appears the courts should be resolving the issue, not Congress, but he wonders what claims can be brought to Obama's doorstep. The comments suggest that members of Congress are breaking away from recommendations...

Is anyone really surprised that Hawaii's new governor, Neil Abercrombie, was unable to produce the promised Obama long-form birth certificate? No matter how Abercrombie's words are parsed or interpreted or spun, the fact is, there is no new evidence -- just a story about a supposedly well-intentioned but bungling Hawaiian governor, prohibited from access to the certificate because of Hawaii's privacy laws, who must cease the search before he finds himself labeled another "vexatious requester." The only thing I've found surprising lately was Chris Matthews' tacit admission that a real long-form is indeed an additional document that Obama should present....

Oklahoma Representative Mike Ritze (R-Broken Arrow) has pre-filed a bill, requiring candidates for public office to submit a copy of their Birth Certificates. Ritze is a professor of Forensic Science and a physician, and was just elected to his first term in the legislature in November 2008. Ritze introduced his bill because he does not believe that President-Elect Barack Obama has demonstrated that he meets the constitutional qualifications. Ritze also says that he is trying to persuade U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe to object to counting electoral college votes for Obama, when Congress counts the electoral votes on January 8. The...

One of the confusing issues around the Obama "Natural Born" citizenship issue is that while many people feel that O is not eligible they do not agree, at all, on the reasons for this. Many of these differences are based on different interpretations of the term "Natural Born Citizen", the qualifier in the US Constitution that Obama must meet. To help clarify what we mean I have created a taxonomy of definitions based on the more than 50 articles I have read on this, as well as some basic logic. Many of these have strong supporters here on Free Republic,...

On Friday, I guess we will see what the contents reveal ( the word is, it is stated within the language of the decree that the couple "have" one son of the union (Obama Jr), born in KENYA.) If true, this will be a blockbuster revelation, recored on a legal document. We will see. ------------------------------------------------------------- IP: 98.206.74.240 Dec 31st, 2008 - 4:27 PM Re: URGENT: PLEASE BROADCAST THIS EVERYWHERE Ed Hale has announced that the Divorce Decree of ObamaSr and Dunham will be posted on Friday, January 2nd.

Ya gotta hand it to them. The Associated Press knows how to cut out all the extraneous background noise and get right to the important issues of the day. Barack Obama will surely be in the center of the vortex of some of the most important decisions in the world during the next four years and even his preparations for taking office are vitally important as a marker to what he might do in office. There are wars and rumors of wars, disasters and relief efforts and historic decisions will soon be made. But no decision is so important, as...

Barack Obama took time out from debate preparations today to weigh in on the increasingly loud controversy over an activist group's voter registration drive. The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, known as ACORN, claims to have registered 1.3 million young people, minorities, and working-class voters. But some of those registration cards have listed dead or nonexistent people and are being investigated in at least eight states. Republican John McCain, and today his running mate Sarah Palin, have called on Obama to take control of ACORN's activities. “Obama has a responsibility to rein in ACORN and prove that he...
