In one week we will be in Georgia arguing that our Constitution be upheld, that only candidates with two U.S. citizens parents be on the ballot for President.
The hearing starts at 9am at the JUSTICE CENTER BUILDING, 160 Pryor St, Atlanta, GA – COURTROOM G40 on the ground floor.
Please be at the hearing if you are able. Also please email and let us know if you plan to be there so we have some idea of how many of our members to expect.
If you have been following the news on this issue, you may know that three different parties will be heard on the same day. Liberty Legal Foundation and our client David Welden is going first. WND ran an article today fairly well summarizing the issues and parties.
Our strategy is to keep it simple. The qualifications for President are that the candidate be:
- a natural born Citizen
- or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution (this no longer applies because there are no citizens that were alive at the time the Constitution was adopted),
- and be the Age of thirty five Years,
- and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
We concede Obama fulfills the last two qualifications. However, Obama can never fulfill the first qualification because his father was never a U.S. Citizen. Interestingly, the Senate website explaining these qualifications says,
“This… requirement raises the question of whether someone born to American parents outside of the United States would be eligible to hold the office.”
The official government website explaining the qualifications for President says that both parents must be “American”. It does not say “an American parent”. That the Congress has not pursued this issue is a travesty to our Constitution. Every member of Congress is a co-conspirator to the fraud being perpetrated on the American people.
The reason the Founders included this extra qualification for President is extremely important, today more than ever! No one can deny that the worldview and opinions of the parents greatly influence the worldview and opinions of the child. In Obama’s case, as we read in his book Dreams From My Father, this is made abundantly clear. Obama’s father held deep resentment towards the Western world, including America, and transferred that outlook to his son. All of the policies of Obama that weaken America make sense through this lens. Going around the world apologizing for our country, transferring our resources overseas, pushing policies that stifle the free market and prevent job creation - these are all a direct result of Obama not being a natural born citizen. This is exactly why the Founders created the highest standard for our highest office.
Next Thursday our argument will be very simple:
- Obama’s father was not a U.S. citizen
- The Constitution requires that both of Obama’s parents be U.S. citizens
- Obama is therefore not Constitutionally qualified to run for the office of President
- Accordingly, the Secretary of State of Georgia can not place Obama’s name on the ballot
Please help us be successful next Thursday. Be at the hearing to show your support. Pray for Judge Malihi and for Van as he argues the law before him. If you can’t be at the hearing, please help by spreading the word about Liberty Legal Foundation. The greater our membership, the greater our influence.
