Nearly two months after I published what has turned out to be this blog’s most-popular post ever, Lawsuit Challenges Barack Obama Citizenship, and barely a week after highlighting one many’s worry about our country being headed to a Constitutional crisis, word of yet another lawsuit challenging Barack Obama’s citizenship reached my desk.
Filed in Washington State Superior Court against Secretary of State Sam Reed by Steve Marquis of Fall City, Wash., the suit demands verification of the Democratic Party presidential nominee’s citizenship status. Objectives of the suit, outlined in a news release issued earlier this month, are as follows:
The complaint seeks specifically that the office of the Washington Secretary of State verify and certify that Mr. Obama is or is not a “natural born” citizen by producing original or certified verifiable official documents. The lawsuit argues that this certification should take place before the election to preclude a constitutional crisis and likely civil unrest should such certification, after the election, prove that Mr. Obama was not qualified for office.
The Complaint argues that the Secretary of State has the authority and duty to not only certify the voters but also and most importantly the candidates and in so doing prevent the wholesale disenfranchisement of voters who would had had an opportunity to choose from qualified candidates had the certification preceded the election process.
At this point, Mr. Obama has not allowed independent or official access to his birth records nor supporting hospital records. The Hawaii Health Department has violated Federal law by ignoring formal Freedom of Information requests for the same. Due to the facts and numerous other allegations that would challenge Mr. Obama’s fundamental qualifications for office, a Federal lawsuit was filed and is currently being heard in District Court, Pennsylvania.
Mr. Obama failed to respond to the District Court’s request to produce or allow access to the official documents (should they exist) and instead filed a motion to dismiss arguing the Plaintiff had no “standing” or right to know. This non-response as of 9/24/2008 in Federal court casts doubt on the veracity of the electoral system and is the principal reason for this lawsuit. The late entry of this suit is due in principal part to Mr. Obama’s delay and subsequent non response to reasonable request for valid certificates. Multiple requests for early certification to the Office of the Secretary of State has been rejected.
[clarification: The district court process itself demands a response from Mr. Obama. When a complaint is filed, the defendant has an opportunity to respond to the judge regarding the plaintiffs request for a preliminary injunction. Obama did respond, but not with the requested documentation, not even minimally so. He responded with a motion for dismissal based on “standing” rather than the merits of the case]
The Washington Secretary of State Office is specifically charged with certifying and guaranteeing the veracity of official documents and overseeing the elections to wit the people’s confidence in the fundamental aspect of democracy is maintained. To date, in this regard, Secretary of State Sam Reed has not carried out that fundamental duty.
This lawsuit demands injunctive relief directing Sam Reed, Secretary of State, carry out the duty of his office in this regard answering the formal complaints for verification of Mr. Obama and any other candidate appearing on the ballots issues through his office for which formal complaints have been received.
Give ‘em hell, Steve!

It is axiomatic in the rules of evidence, that he who states the affirmative of an issue bears the burden of proof or burden of persuasion. Senator Obama has satisfied his initial, burden of proof, meeting sufficient, prima facie requirements of citizenship for the Office of President and for his democratic party. But, this is a REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION, requiring that he step forward, NOW, with CONCLUSIVE PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP, to shift it into a CONCLUSIVE PRESUMPTION. A rebuttable presumption is that which may be REBUTTED BY COMPETENT EVIDENCE and CHALLENGE. It has been challenged in court, now.
Senator and presidential democratic nominee, Obama, as a graduate attorney and licensed by the State of Illinois, has been trained in the RULES OF EVIDENCE, passed the Illinois Bar, and knows all of this. Attorneys are trained in this.
Why is he not coming forward with sufficient and better evidence of citizenship to shift his CITIZENSHIP issue into a CONCLUSIVE PRESUMPTION OF REGULARITY, CORRECTNESS, VERIFICATION and CONFIRMATION?
Why? Where is the truth and what is the truth?

I’ve been reading at length about this lawsuit, Berg v Obama; and there is a 2nd one in Fall City, WA. However, this one is against the WA State – Secretary of State asking for injunctive relief and that Obama’s birth records be reviewed to ensure they’re authentic as the Sec’y places the candidate on the Ballot.
So far as I can see, his “authentic birth certificate” no one has seen…and everyone seems to just let it slide, not making demands… and the reasons that both lawsuits are forced to be filed because at least they understand the subject/content spells trouble for this country.
I wrote to FOX NEWS – Greta and Sean Hannity, NEWT GINGRICH and put the information in Fred Thompson’s hands just last week at GOP headquarters – in hopes of firing up someone with clout available ….get it aired BEFORE THE ELECTION. It’s very serious and truly isn’t beyond the realm of reality at all. Only to those who keep a blind eye or interested in other political persuasions.
This may very well be the most important election of our time, and they’re all yawning over the idea Obama’s credibility just couldn’t be questioned. The travesty is that few are listening, and may be in denial, allowing their emotions to make their voting decision.
History repeats itself and for all the smoke in Obama’s associations – the red flags – we cannot afford to think it doesn’t mean much (like ideology). Radical and socialistic policies are not the change expected, and the “CHANGE” in his campaign is touted via “the marketing of emotions”.
It was Hitler who said, “I use emotion for the many and reason for the few”.
EVERYONE SHOULD START TO USE SOME SENSE AND EXAMINE THE FACT THAT OBAMA HAS REFUSED TO PROVE HIS ELIGIBILITY TO RUN ALL ALONG….AND BEFORE THEY VOTE!
The facts have been out there for a while to examine, surely some may think about it before hitting the voting booth. There’s too much at stake including the potential for a Constitutional crises, and years of bad consequences if a risky vote over “feeling good about CHANGE”!

I have said it once and I will say it again,A black man from another country,comes to America,runs and wins the senator election and then runs and wins the presidential election, all within a few years,with no background check,no paper trails,no medical records,no college records,just his big mouth.The biggest con in the world.He fooled the democratic party,the republican party,the election commision,the media,and our government.What a story!!!!! What a movie!!!!! But guess what? No body is going to step forward and take the blame for the biggest embarrassment of the United States Of America.By the time any one really looked into this matter, it was to late. This would really show the world how vulnerable we really are,not to mention 911.Who do we thank for this? The suckers who voted for this great con man,and all the rest of those who fell for the con.To those people I spit in your face. COVER UP? YOU BET!!!! This government will never let this happen,no matter what the costs.

STAOY — You’re a typical liberal, quick to call names, slow to understand citizenship law. I recommend you crawl out of your mom’s basement and get an education. Heck, Obama will probably give you a bailout to pay for it.

This issue will not go away until prima facia evidence is produced. The simple act of denying this documentation is an affront to our system of basic laws. Those of you who advocate denying the American people their right to receive rudamentary information about leadership eligibility are the typical social pragmatists whose gullibility has been exploited by Marxism for ages.

I have enjoyed reading the post and the articials on this site. Might I subjest another approach as well, as the electoral college will have to sign off on the presidency being correctly assended by Obama. It might be a tactic to also have members of the electoral college file a lawsuit demanding proof be provided them of the canidates legal standing to hold office. I subjest that the proof be requested for all the canidates that ran. Appearence is important. And as the electoral college also has some real guns, it may be time to bring them to bear.
