November 26, 2008 | N.Y., New York | Vetting explained
Posted: December 01, 2008 10:26 pm Eastern © 2008 WorldNetDaily WASHINGTON - You can make sure the Supreme Court justices have a piece of your mind when they review a case Friday challenging the eligibility of Barack Obama under Section 2, Article 1 of the Constitution, which stipulates the position can only be filled by "a natural born citizen." Because the Supreme Court justices do not accept faxes, e-mails or telephone calls, there is only one way to make your voice heard in time for Friday's preliminary hearing - overnight delivery of your letter. To make that process simpler, more convenient and less expensive, WND has devised a plan to get a concise letter on the subject, over your name, delivered to all nine justices by FedEx for the price of just $9.95. This offer ends Thursday at noon Eastern time to ensure all letters are delivered by Friday morning to the Supreme Court. "If we didn't do everything possible to let the Supreme Court justices know what a concern this is to millions of Americans, I would feel like I was letting down the Constitution and the men who framed it - not to mention every citizen of the United States living now and in the future," said Joseph Farah, WND's founder and editor. "This constitutional eligibility test has become a key issue with me because if the plain language of the Constitution is no longer taken seriously by our nation's controlling legal authorities, we have become an outlaw nation - no longer under the rule of law but under the rule of men." Farah personally drafted the letter that will be sent to the justices above the name and address of all those participating in the program. "I hope our effort helps inspire you to take a minute of your time to weigh in on this issue," he said. "Feel free to send your own letters by overnight delivery, if you have the time and don't mind the extra cost. But this program will allow more Americans to have their say." Farah launched a petition drive on WND two weeks ago that calls on all controlling legal authorities to ensure the Constitution is followed on the question of eligibility and for full public disclosure of the facts of Obama's birthplace and parentage. More than 125,000 people have signed on to the petition in that time. Obama has claimed in his autobiography and elsewhere that he was born in Hawaii in 1961 to parents Barack Hussein Obama Sr., a Kenyan national, and Stanley Ann Dunham, a minor. But details about which hospital handled the birth and other details provided on the complete birth certificate have been withheld by Obama despite lawsuits and public demands for release. The letters will be individually addressed to each justice over the names and addresses of those who take part in the limited-time program. The body of the letter reads: bq. Dear Associate Justice ______:
+ If the Constitution doesn't mean precisely what it says, then America is no longer a nation under the rule of law.+
+ A nation no longer under the rule of law is, by definition, under the rule of men.+
+ Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution clearly stipulates "No person except a natural born Citizen" shall be eligible to serve as president of the United States. That statement has clear meaning, and theSupreme Courtof the United States is one of the controlling legal authorities in ensuring that the Constitution is enforced - even if doing so may prove awkward.+
+ With the Electoral College set to make its determination Dec. 15 that Barack Hussein Obama Jr. be the next president of the United States, the Supreme Court is holding a conference Friday to review a case challenging his eligibility for the office based on Article 2, Section 1.+
+ I urge you to take this matter most seriously - and judge it only on the clear, unambiguous words of the Constitution: A president must, at the very least, be a "natural born citizen" of the United States.+
+ If you agree that this clear constitutional requirement still matters, the Supreme Court must use its authority to establish, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that Barack Hussein Obama Jr. qualifies for the office under that standard.+
+ There is grave, widespread and rapidly growing concern throughout the American public that this constitutional requirement is being overlooked and enforcement neglected by state and federal election authorities. It's up to the Supreme Court to dispel all doubt that America's next president is truly a natural born citizen of the United States.+
+ I urge you to honor the Constitution in this matter and uphold the public trust.+
+ Sincerely,+
+ Your name+

We at AXJ in the United States are all ears and will publish his reply to this comment in real time. www.axjus.com 8:06 am PST, Nov 27, Philip Young, Ohio I am actually proud that my country would elect a black man as it shows we truly do view all men as created equal. But I feel it is absolutely wrong to dismiss the what is clearly stated in our constitution that a president be a natural born citizen. If a law isn't right it should be amended by proper processes, not ignored. Further, a Birth Certificate is a document issued to be able to establish citizenship. When I have traveled out of the country I had to show my Birth Certificate to which ever officials requested it, for what ever reason. It isn't just a keepsake! So anyone who says that it invades Mr. Obama's privacy to demand to see this document seems to me to not understand what the document is for. Buy concealing his real Birth Certificate I can only say that our President Elect should only expect to arouse the suspicion of those who otherwise would have supported him. He should be a man and come straight out with the truth! What does he have to fear if he has all the correct documents? And if his documents would prevent him from holding office, I hope that he would be a man of character and respect the laws by voluntarily stepping down and preventing the damage to America that could be caused if he presses forward. That's my two cents, for what they are worth. - Philip Young
