			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>November 25, 2008 9:18 pm Eastern By Bob Unruh © 2008 WorldNetDaily<br />
</em> Lawyer lining up plaintiff groups until citizenship dispute addressed.</p>
<p>A lawyer who is playing a key role in a California lawsuit urging officials to prevent the state&#8217;s 55 Electoral College votes from being recorded for Barack Obama until questions about his citizenship are resolved says he&#8217;s organizing plans to challenge, even after the inauguration, every order, every proposal, every piece of paperwork generated by Obama.</p>
<p>Barack Obama</p>
<p>&quot;We will file lawsuits on his actions, every time. As long as we have money , we will keep filing lawsuits until we get a decision as to his citizenship status,&quot; Gary Kreep, chief of the United States Justice Foundation, told WND today.</p>
<p>&quot;We&#8217;re already talking to groups who are willing to be plaintiffs,&quot; he said.</p>
<p>As WND reported, Kreep filed the California challenge with presidential candidate Alan Keyes as a plaintiff.</p>
<p>The complaint urges the California secretary of state to refuse to allow the state&#8217;s 55 Electoral College votes to be cast until Obama&#8217;s citizenship and related eligibility to hold office is resolved.</p>
<p>It is just one of more than a dozen legal challenges brought forward so far over Obama&#8217;s citizenship. The cases all cite Obama&#8217;s clouded history and the U.S. Constitution&#8217;s requirement that a president be a &quot;natural-born&quot; citizen.</p>
<p>Sign the petition to insist on release of birth certificate.</p>
<p>There have been allegations he was born in Kenya, not Hawaii as his campaign has reported, that he could be considered a British subject because of his father&#8217;s residency in what then was a British protectorate that later became Kenya, and that the &quot;Certificate of Live Birth&quot; posted on his website simply shows his mother registered his birth in Hawaii after he was born but does not document a location.</p>
<p>There also have been questions raised about his travels as a youth, including the years he spent registered as a Muslim in an Indonesian school, and his later travels to Pakistan at a time when U.S. passports weren&#8217;t welcome in that nation.</p>
<p>WND senior reporter Jerome Corsi traveled to Kenya and Hawaii prior to the election to investigate issues surrounding Obama&#8217;s birth. But his research and discoveries only raised more questions.</p>
<p>The biggest question is why Obama, if a Hawaii birth certificate exists, simply hasn&#8217;t ordered it made available to settle the rumors.</p>
<p>The governor&#8217;s office in Hawaii said there is a valid certificate but rejected requests for access and left ambiguous its origin: Does the certificate on file with the Department of Health indicate a Hawaii birth or was it generated after the Obama family registered a Kenyan birth in Hawaii?</p>
<p>Obama&#8217;s half-sister, Maya Soetoro, has named two different Hawaii hospitals where Obama could have been born, while a video posted on YouTube features Obama&#8217;s Kenyan grandmother Sarah claiming to have witnessed Obama&#8217;s birth in Kenya.</p>
<p>The California action was filed on behalf of Keyes, as well as Wiley S. Drake and Markham Robinson, both California electors.</p>
<p>&quot;Should Senator Obama be discovered, after he takes office, to be ineligible for the Office of President of the United States of America and, thereby, his election declared void, Petitioners, as well as other Americans, will suffer irreparable harm in that (a) usurper will be sitting as the President of the United States, and none of the treaties, laws, or executive orders signed by him will be valid or legal,&quot; the action challenges.</p>
<p>Kreep told WND today he&#8217;s now working with several groups that could serve as plaintiffs to challenge Obama&#8217;s actions, even from the Oval Office, should the issue remain in dispute.</p>
<p>&quot;There is a reasonable and common expectation by the voters that to qualify for the ballot, the individuals running for office must meet minimum qualifications as outlined in the federal and state Constitutions and statutes, and that compliance with those minimum qualifications has been confirmed by the officials overseeing the election process,&quot; the complaint said, when in fact the only documentation currently required is a signed statement from the candidate attesting to those qualifications.</p>
<p>The issue is much more important than a single candidate, said Judge Roy Moore, the former chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court and a WND columnist. He now runs the Foundation for Moral Law.</p>
<p>Moore had his own constitutional confrontation when he was removed from his position Alabama Supreme Court chief justice after he refused to remove from state grounds a monument recognizing the Ten Commandments as the foundation for U.S. law.</p>
<p>&quot;We can survive four years of any president; we cannot survive without a Constitution,&quot; he told WND. &quot;This calls for a major investigation. Our Constitution is at stake.&quot;</p>
<p>Moore said the requirement for a president to be a natural-born citizen is clear in the Constitution. The document, he added, provides procedures to amend the requirement, but that hasn&#8217;t been done.</p>
<p>&quot;We live under the rule of law,&quot; he warned, &quot;If we start ignoring that. &#8230;&quot;</p>
<p>A WND reader agreed in a letter to the editor.</p>
<p>&quot;If Obama is allowed to take office without proving his citizenship, then we have no Constitution. America as it&#8217;s been will be dead. If an easy to understand rule is ignored, then the others harder to understand will be easy to ignore,&quot; wrote Tony Costello.</p>
<p>Moore said, &quot;If a person is not qualified, he&#8217;s not qualified. It doesn&#8217;t matter who it is, Republican, Democrat, black or white, rich or poor.&quot;</p>
<p>He added the members of the Electoral College have an obligation to verify Obama&#8217;s qualifications before voting for him.</p>
<p>But he said the dispute may end up with court action, too.</p>
<p>&quot;The courts are there to uphold the law. People have a right to change the Constitution. But until then it&#8217;s the rule of law,&quot; he said.</p>
<p>&quot;I don&#8217;t see any reason a candidate who has such a serious question would not come forward with the truth about where he was born,&quot; Moore said.</p>
<p>&quot;The Supreme Court has to answer this. They have to do it by law and not by the popularity of a person. If we do that, we might as well throw the Constitution out the window,&quot; Moore said.</p>
<p>&quot;[Obama] has the answer. He knows where he was born. If he tells something that&#8217;s untrue that&#8217;s another matter. It&#8217;s not an Obama issue, it&#8217;s an American issue. It&#8217;s about the Constitution of the United States.&quot;</p>
<p>U.S. State Department officials declined to respond to WND inquiries about the process for keeping a U.S. citizenship while attending schools in Indonesia, or the possibility of a U.S. citizen keeping that status while traveling on another nation&#8217;s passport.</p>
<p>But several online &quot;fact&quot; sites have reported that the concerns over Obama&#8217;s citizenship are much ado about nothing.</p>
<p>Factcheck.org, for example, has posted an image described as Obama&#8217;s &quot;birth certificate.&quot; But within the image can be seen the words &quot;Certificate of Live Birth,&quot; which is not the same document. In Hawaii at the time Obama was born the state would issue a &quot;Certificate of Live Birth&quot; to a parent registering a birth, but it does not indicate the location of the birth.</p>
<p>&quot;FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate,&quot; the group said in a statement accompanying the image of the &quot;Certificate of Live Birth.&quot;</p>
<p>Snopes, also, attested to Obama&#8217;s U.S. citizenship, citing information from the campaign itself.</p>
<p>However, WND columnist Janet Porter, who has investigated the dispute, wrote in her column today that there are too many questions to ignore.</p>
<p>&quot;In Hawaii, a Certification of Live Birth is issued within a year of a child&#8217;s birth to those who register a birth abroad or one that takes place outside a hospital,&quot; she said.</p>
<p>She cited the work of Ron Polarik, who holds a Ph.D. in instructional media and specializes in computer graphics with over 20 years experience with computers, printers and typewriters.</p>
<p>&quot;Polarik has submitted a signed affidavit and has now released his findings on video at www.ObamaForgery.com with his identity masked and voice altered to guard against the carrying out of threats, which he has already received,&quot; Porter wrote.</p>
<p>&quot;The Summary: The Certificate of Live Birth documents posted on Mr. Obama&#8217;s website www.fightthesmears.com , Daily Kos (a pro-Obama blog) and factcheck.org, (a pro-Obama political research group), were found to be altered and forged,&quot; she said.</p>
<p>The researcher cited problems with pixels in the image and a fold line and a blurry border. He asserts the border is a 2007 version while the seal and signature are from 2008.</p>
<p>She also cited issues beyond the birth certificate.</p>
<p>&quot;There&#8217;s the matter that Obama traveled to Indonesia, Pakistan, Southern India and Kenya in 1981. He said he went to Indonesia to see his mother. This seemed plausible, except for the fact that his mother returned to Hawaii in August of 1980 to file for a divorce from her second husband, Lolo Soetoro. Unless she went back to pal around with the man she divorced, she wasn&#8217;t there at the time of Obama&#8217;s visit,&quot; Porter wrote.</p>
<p>&quot;There&#8217;s another problem. No record of Obama holding an American passport prior to the one he received once becoming a U.S. senator has been found. If he traveled to Pakistan with an American passport, he wouldn&#8217;t have been allowed in – since Pakistan was in turmoil in 1981 and under martial law. It was also on the State Department&#8217;s travel ban list for U.S. citizens,&quot; she wrote.</p>
<p>&quot;If he couldn&#8217;t get into Pakistan with a U.S. passport, perhaps he went there with an Indonesian passport. But the only way you can get one of those is if you are an Indonesian citizen ,&quot; she wrote.</p>
<p>Porter encouraged residents to contact the members of the House Judiciary Committee with a request to hold congressional hearings and write to the U.S. Supreme Court to request a ruling.</p>
<p>On the FederalistBlog the writers concluded:</p>
<p>&quot;A child born to an American mother and alien father could be said to be a citizen of the United States by some affirmative act of law but never entitled to be a natural-born citizen because through laws of nature the child inherits the condition of their father.&quot;</p>
<p>Obama&#8217;s mother held U.S. citizenship, but his father never did.</p>
<p>WND also reported that Herb Titus, the Constitution Party&#8217;s running mate to Howard Phillips in 1996 and recognized authority on the U.S. Constitution, said it is up the electors from the 50 states to make certain Obama is a natural-born U.S. citizen before they cast votes for him in the Electoral College Dec. 15.</p>
<p>&quot;If they do their duty, they would make sure that if they cast a vote for Mr. Obama, that Mr. Obama is a natural-born citizen,&quot; he told WND.</p>
<p>&quot;I think it should be resolved. The duty is in the Electoral College. Every Obama elector that is committed to casting a vote on the 15th of December, they have a constitutional duty to make certain whether Mr. Obama is a natural-born citizen,&quot; he said.</p>
<p>If the electors fail their duty and Obama proves ultimately to fail the eligibility requirement of the U.S. Constitution, there would be only the laborious, contentious and cumbersome process of impeachment available to those who would wish to follow the Constitution, he suggested.</p>
<p>On WND&#8217;s new forum page, the level of frustration was rising. Dozens contributed their thoughts immediately after the forum was posted:</p>
<p>&quot;What makes Obama non-respon[sive] to the simplest of requests?&quot; asked one reader. &quot;Does he think that it is politically incorrect to ask for authentication of the myriad of facts about himself … Is he testing the grounds to see how far he can play with this charade?&quot;</p>
<p>Other comments included:</p>
<p>* &quot;Obama won his first election ever by getting three Democratic opponents thrown off the ballot? He&#8217;s all for using the law to help himself win. Wouldn&#8217;t it be ironic if he is not allowed to serve as president due to the law? … Turn around is fair play!<br />
* &quot;Even the left-wing liberal news media is beginning to ask the question: &#8216;Who is this man we have elected? We really do not know much about him.&#8217;&quot;<br />
* &quot;Obama&#8217;s refusal to produce the ORIGINAL given birth certificate gives us all pause. His silence on these allegations is deafening. The anointed one believes that if he can hold us all back until he&#8217;s in the Oval Office he&#8217;s hit a home run and he&#8217;s &#8216;safe.&#8217; Ah, not so! Check your law, Obama, and you will see that even if were to make it to the White House you will no longer be able to hide behind those red velvet ropes.&quot;<br />
* &quot;There must be something that would have caused him great harm prior to the election, and would have stopped him from becoming elected. What could that little piece of information be?&quot;</p>

<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">In            my last column, Part II, was devoted to the growing crisis over Barack            Hussein Obama refusing to prove he is a natural born citizen; <a href="http://www.newswithviews.com/Devvy/kidd414.htm">see            here</a> .

<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;"><a href="http://worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=80931">Dr.            Alan Keyes filed a lawsuit in California, November 14, 2008</a> : &#8216;Constitutional            crisis&#8217; looming over Obama&#8217;s birth location.

<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;"><a href="http://www.blogtext.org/naturalborncitizen/">Let            me focus on Leo Donofrio&#8217;s lawsuit</a> which I covered in Part II of            my last column. Leo is asking you to please write a short letter to            Justice Clarence Thomas now that his case is docketed. You need only            ask Justice Thomas to hear Leo&#8217;s case on an expedited basis because            Obama&#8217;s refusal to prove he&#8217;s a natural born citizen is building into            a constitutional crisis that cannot be allowed to progress to the swearing            in process should the electoral college actually go ahead and vote him            in on December 15, 2008. Provide the case title and name: </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">Leo            C. Donofrio, v. Nina Mitchell Wells, Secretary of State of the State            of New Jersey<br />
United States Supreme Court Docket No. 08A407</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">The            Honorable Associate Justice Clarence Thomas<br />
United States Supreme Court<br />
One First Street, N.E.,<br />
Washington, D.C. 20543. </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">I            have been exchanging emails with Leo and he continues to reinforce the            main issue of &#8216;natural born citizen&#8217;. His latest posting for your convenience:</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">&quot;Barack            Obama&#8217;s official web site, Fight The Smears, admits he was a British            Citizen at birth. At the very bottom of the section of his web site            that shows an alleged official Certification Of Live Birth, the web            site lists the following information and link thereto: FactCheck.org            Clarifies Barack’s Citizenship</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">“When            Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British            colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As            a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship            status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same            act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">&quot;Since            Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath            of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired            on Aug. 4,1982.” That is a direct admission Barack Obama was a            British citizen &quot;at birth&quot;. </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">&quot;My            law suit argues that since Obama had dual citizenship &quot;at birth&quot;            and therefore split loyalties &quot;at birth&quot;, he is not a &quot;natural            born citizen&quot; of the United States. A &quot;natural born citizen&quot;            would have no other jurisdiction over him &quot;at birth&quot; other            than that of the United States. The Framers chose the words &quot;natural            born&quot; and those words cannot be ignored. The status referred to            in Article 2, Section 1, &quot;natural born citizen&quot;, pertains            to the status of the person&#8217;s citizenship &quot;at birth&quot;.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">&quot;The            other numerous law suits circling Obama to question his eligibility            fail to hit the mark on this issue. Since Obama was, &quot;at birth&quot;,            a British citizen, it is completely irrelevant, as to the issue of Constitutional            &quot;natural born citizen&quot; status, whether Obama was born in Hawaii            or abroad. Either way, he is not eligible to be President. Should Obama            produce an original birth certificate showing he was born in Hawaii,            it will not change the fact that Obama was a British citizen &quot;at            birth&quot;. </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">&quot;Obama            has admitted to being a British subject &quot;at birth&quot;. And as            will be made perfectly clear below, his being subject to British jurisdiction            &quot;at birth&quot; bars him from being eligible to be President of            the United States. </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">&quot;As            I have argued before the United States Supreme Court, the 14th Amendment            does not confer &quot;natural born citizen&quot; status anywhere in            its text. It simply states that a person born in the United States is            a &quot;Citizen&quot;, and only if he is &quot;subject to the jurisdiction&quot;            of the United States. </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">&quot;Article            2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution of the United States:</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">&quot;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.&quot;</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">&quot;The            most overlooked words in that section are: &quot;&#8230;or a Citizen of            the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution&#8230;&quot;            You must recall that most, if not all, of the framers of the Constitution            were, at birth, born as British subjects. </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">&quot;Stop            and think about that.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">&quot;The            chosen wording of the Framers here makes it clear that they had drawn            a distinction between themselves &#8211; persons born subject to British jurisdiction            &#8211; and &quot;natural born citizens&quot; who would not be born subject            to British jurisdiction or any other jurisdiction other than the United            States. And so the Framers grandfathered themselves into the Constitution            as being eligible to be President. But the grandfather clause only pertains            to any person who was a Citizen&#8230; at the time of the Adoption of this            Constitution. Obama was definitely not a Citizen at the time of the            adoption of the Constitution and so he is not grandfathered in.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">&quot;And            so, for Obama or anybody else to be eligible to be President, they must            be a &quot;natural born citizen&quot; of the United States &quot;at            birth&quot;. It should be obvious that the Framers intended to deny            the Presidency to anybody who was a British subject &quot;at birth&quot;.            If this had not been their intention, then they would not have needed            to include a grandfather clause which allowed the Framers themselves            to be President.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">&quot;If            you click through to Factcheck.org, a more detailed discussion as to            why Obama was a British citizen at birth explains the relevant statutes:</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">&quot;When            Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British            colony, still part of the United Kingdom&#8217;s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan            native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status            was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed            the status of Obama Sr.&#8217;s children:</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">&quot;British            Nationality Act of 1948 (Part II, Section 5): Subject to the provisions            of this section, a person born after the commencement of this Act shall            be a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies by descent if his father            is a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies at the time of the birth.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">&quot;In            other words, at the time of his birth, Barack Obama Jr. was both a U.S.            citizen (by virtue of being born in Hawaii) and a citizen of the United            Kingdom and Colonies (or the UKC) by virtue of being born to a father            who was a citizen of the UKC.&#8217; &quot;</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">&quot;The            article goes on to state that Obama&#8217;s British citizenship was transferred            to Kenya as Kenya became independent from the UK and that Obama&#8217;s Kenyan            citizenship expired when he turned 21 years old. But none of that is            relevant since the Constitution requires that every President be a &quot;natural            born citizen&quot;. The word &quot;born&quot; is proof positive that            the status must be present &quot;at birth&quot;. If this were not the            case, then, as stated above, the Framers would not have needed to put            in a grandfather clause. </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">&quot;The            Framers recognized that even they were not &quot;natural born citizens&quot;            and so they wrote the grandfather clause in to allow any of them to            become President. But the grandfather clause only pertains to those            who were Citizens at the time of the Constitution&#8217;s adoption. And so,            Barack Obama is not a &quot;natural born citizen&quot; of the United            States and neither is John McCain who was born in Panama, and neither            is Roger Calero who was born in Nicaragua.&quot;</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">All            of Leo&#8217;s court filings are posted on his site. Barack Hussein Obama is a &#8216;creation.&#8217; He has had so many names,            no one can keep track of his real history. He refuses to release his            records for Harvard and Columbia. It has been reported that Obama attended            Harvard under a foreign student classification and that is the reason            he refuses to open his records. An individual obtained Obama&#8217;s SS registration            form (selective service); <a href="http://www.debbieschlussel.com/">click            here and scroll down until you see the form</a> . </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">Obama            reportedly traveled to Pakistan in 1980 and 1981 using an Indonesian            passport. I am working on getting documentation on that.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;"><a href="http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2008/07/atlas-exclusive.html">This            web site presents the final, very technical report</a> on the document            produced by the Obama people in June. After studying the credentials            of the individual and the analysis, I feel the case has been made the            Certificate of Live Birth released by Obama&#8217;s camp is a forgery.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">Barack            Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, aka Barry Obama, aka Barack Dunham,            aka Barry Dunham is simply an empty husk delivered up as the messiah            and answer to America&#8217;s problems when he&#8217;s nothing but a fake and a            devout Marxist. If this constitutional issue isn&#8217;t decided by either            the courts or the electoral college on December 15, 2008, and Obama            is sworn in, when the truth does come out, and it will, we will truly            have a mess of monumental proportions. Even a pro-abortion supporter            (<a href="http://www.nationalpost.com/opinion/story.html?id=813996">who            calls abortion murder</a> ) of Obama is <a href="http://www.salon.com/opinion/paglia/2008/11/12/palin/">now            questioning why won&#8217;t Obama produce a real, legal document</a> ?</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">&quot;In            the closing weeks of the election, however, I became increasingly disturbed            by the mainstream media&#8217;s avoidance of forthright dealing with several            controversies that had been dogging Obama &#8212; even as every flimsy rumor            about Sarah Palin was being trumpeted as if it were engraved in stone            on Mount Sinai. For example, I had thought for many months that the            flap over Obama&#8217;s birth certificate was a tempest in a teapot. But simple            questions about the certificate were never resolved to my satisfaction.            Thanks to their own blathering, fanatical overkill, of course, the right-wing            challenges to the birth certificate never gained traction.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">&quot;But            Obama could have ended the entire matter months ago by publicly requesting            Hawaii to issue a fresh, long-form, stamped certificate and inviting            a few high profile reporters in to examine the document and photograph            it. (The campaign did make the &quot;short-form&quot; certificate available            to Factcheck.org, a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at            the University of Pennsylvania.) And why has Obama not made his university            records or thesis work widely available? The passivity of the press            toward Bush administration propaganda about weapons of mass destruction            led the nation into the costly blunder of the Iraq war. We don&#8217;t need            another presidency that finds it all too easy to rely on evasion or            stonewalling. I deeply admire Obama, but as a voter I don&#8217;t like feeling            gamed or played.&quot;</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">What            Congress and the media won&#8217;t tell you</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">My            incoming email is simply more than one person can handle; I can&#8217;t answer            all the questions coming in on issues like social security, the IRS            and so many more. This is column number 415 for NWVs. I have written            thousands in almost 20 years; a huge number of them are on my CD. By the time this column is posted, I&#8217;ll be well on my way            to the West coast. God willing, I will return home to West Texas around            December 3, 2008. Because I won&#8217;t have a column for a couple of weeks,            what I&#8217;ve done is take a half dozen of the biggest issues like health            care and put together a compilation of columns. That way, in your spare            time (no chuckling, please), you can use these references for research            and get the truth. </span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">Also,            many of my columns as well as Dr. Edwin Vieria and others are available            for free on audio on my web site.  You can listen on your computer while doing things around            the house or download to your IPod or a CD and listen while driving            or on the commute train or plane. Additionally, I have a limited selection            of must view videos on my web site. Please feel free to also download            those and get them out to family, colleagues and friends. <a href="http://www.devvy.com/videos.html">Click            here</a> .</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">America            is not a democracy. Popular web sites and &quot;progressive&quot; sites            all push for the destruction of this country when they chirp &quot;Our            democracy!&quot; America&#8217;s legal form of government is a constitutional            republic. <a href="http://www.devvy.com/pdf/larosa/larosa_democracy_or_republic.pdf">Please            learn the difference and stop supporting mob rule</a> . Fisher Ames,            a founding father said: &quot;A democracy is a volcano which conceals            the fiery materials of its own destruction. These will produce an eruption            and carry desolation in their way.&quot; Benjamin Rush said: &quot;A            simple democracy is the devil&#8217;s own government.&quot; John Adams said:            &quot;Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts,            and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit            suicide.&quot;</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">What            can I do? is the common question. The ballot box is dead, this last            election proves it beyond any doubt. The same Congress, with a whopping            17 &quot;new&quot; faces, will go back in in less than two months. Come            January, our thrust has to be to the states as I have written about            and an all out, constant assault (not violence) on the U.S. Congress.            There is no other way until the final break down, and then no one can&#8217;t            say we the people didn&#8217;t do everything the right way first.</span> <a href="mailto:newsforyou-list-subscribe@newswithviews.com"><br />

<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">As            my regular readers know, but perhaps not new readers, I always provide            my source reference material. At the end of my columns are additional            resources. Over almost 20 years I have learned from warriors; experts            in their respective fields on all these issues. Because time is so short,            I have made every effort to get the most credible and legally factual            information available for you to get the truth. Unless we&#8217;re all on            the same LEGAL battlefield, Americans will continue to demand more failure            instead of the constitutional solutions that held us true for so long            &#8212; until the special interest groups began purchasing the favors of            Congress about a half century ago. We are now at the end of all the            corruption as the system has rotted to near extinction.</span></p>

<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;">I            forgot to add one thing in that column. Everyone has seen people standing            in front of what used to be their home when disasters hit. These folks            are crying because, not only have their homes been destroyed, their            treasured family photos with so many memories got burned up or destroyed            in a hurricane or tornado. Scan all your favorite family pictures onto            your computer and burn them onto a CD. Put that CD in a small fireproof            safe in your home (best place is a floor safe in the closet). That way,            if you have to evacuate in a hurry, when you return, your valuables            and those pictures of your loved ones will be preserved.</span></p>
