Lawsuit Filed Against Obama

 Philip Berg, a Democrat and legal professional, has filed suit against Senator Obama. The reason? Philip Berg claims that the presidential candidate is NOT a U.S. citizen. If that be true, then of course Senator Obama is NOT eligible to become president.

Before you stop reading because you believe the accusation to be ridiculous and only old news, be warned. A few weeks ago, I felt just the same way.

Now a few months ago, when rumors were swirling about Obama's non-citizenship, I dismissed them right away. Not because I believe anything Obama says, but because this man is running for the highest office in the land.He had to have filed his birth certificate with the FEC or some other government agency right? Wrong!

Some weeks ago my husband brought up the issue of Obama potenially being a foreigner. He was just hearing about the rumor. Sure that there were many more legitimate things we could accuse Obama of, I set out to quickly put this matter to rest.

Online I was able to find a copy of Obama's certificate or at least one that was labeled as such. Next I went to the FEC website and discovered that no candidate was required to present proof of citizenship to them-only myriads of financial information. Wanting to find the agency that Obama had presented proof too, I called the FEC. They informed me that it was up to the political parties to verify.

Say it ain't so. I mean, just last year I waited for hours to get another certified copy of my daughters birth certificate to present to her school. They were going to kick her out if I did not. Surely Obama had to have proved his citizenship! So, I went on to call party headquarters. The lady told me that the FEC was wrong. But only in that the candidates are NOT required to show them either. The lady at party headquarters told me that the only way to "see" is for a citizen to "challenge" the person in court. I nearly fainted and I do mean that.

After doing the math and finding that I should save my money for feeding the family instead of "challenging" the establishment, I decided I needed to vent. I called everyone I knew. The only ones who did not share in my horror were the ones that believed I must have gotten bad information. I then posted a PNN survey to see if others knew what I believed to be the best kept secret-you do not need to prove you are elibile to become the President of the United States-only to go to kindergarten. An overwhelming percent of respondents did not know this either.

Now, Philip Berg has had way out there theories before, but he's not the only one who has been making these claims. He's just the citizen who is now "challenging" Obama's citizenship. Some try to tie in the fact that Berg supported Hiliary and that Obama did not choose her as his vp running mate, therefore this was sour grapes. Berg claims the timing is due to his fear of Republicans bringing it up later and then the Democrats losing.  It sounds more plausible, not necessarily true-but plausable, that the timing has to do with the upcoming convention and a possible move by Hilary.

Regardless, I think it is the duty of everyone claiming to have an appreciation for the Constitution to pay attention to this one. If you are tempted to think that it is too far fetched to be plausible, may I remind you of Watergate, White Water, Iraq War, Vietnam War, etc. How many senators have been convicted, had to step down, etc... about lying? I do recall a former president and his many perceptions of the word "is". Just think how many pictures are altered on the PNN site alone. Would it really be so hard to do the same with a birth certificate?Did the campaign alter the Presidential Seal?

Do your duty and at least get informed about what is going on. As a citizen what do you think we should do? Is it really to much to ask for verifiable proof of citizenship?

There are many sites discussing this, but I found www.wnd.com to be pretty precise.
