Alan Keyes
The California secretary of state should refuse to allow the state's 55 Electoral College votes to be cast in the 2008 presidential election until President-elect Barack Obama verifies his eligibility to hold the office, alleges a California court petition filed on behalf of former presidential candidate Alan Keyes and others.

The legal action today is just the latest is a series of challenges, some of which have gone as high as the U.S. Supreme Court, over the issue of Obama's status as a "natural-born citizen," a requirement set by the U.S. Constitution.

WND senior reporter Jerome Corsi even traveled to Kenya and Hawaii prior to the election to investigate issues surrounding Obama's birth. But his research and discoveries only raised more questions.

The biggest question is why Obama, if a Hawaii birth certificate exists, simply hasn't ordered it made available to settle the rumors.

(Story continues below)




The governor'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?

Obama'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's Kenyan grandmother Sarah claiming to have witnessed Obama's birth in Kenya.

The California action was filed by Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation on behalf of Alan Keyes, the presidential candidate of the American Independent Party, along with Wiley S. Drake and Markham Robinson, both California electors.

"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," the action challenges.


California Secretary of State Debra Bowen

The petition is a request for the Superior Court of California in Sacramento County to issue a peremptory writ barring Secretary of State Debra Bowen "from both certifying to the governor the names of the California Electors, and from transmitting to each presidential Elector a Certificate of Election, until such documentary proof is produced and verified showing that Senator Obama is a 'natural born' citizen of the United States and does not hold citizenship of Indonesia, Kenya or Great Britain."

It continues with a request for a writ barring California's electors from signing the Certificate of Vote until documentary proof is produced.

An Obama spokesperson interviewed by WND described such lawsuits as "garbage."

The popular vote Nov. 4 favored Obama over Sen. John McCain by several percentage points. But because of the distribution of the votes, Obama is projected to take the Electoral College vote, when it is held in December, by a 2-to-1 margin.

Named as defendants in the action are Bowen, Obama, vice president elect Joe Biden and the long list of California party electors.

Citing the constitutional requirement that a president be a "natural born" citizen, the case discusses other state and federal court cases regarding "aspects of lost or dual citizenship concerning Senator Obama. Those challenges, in and of themselves, demonstrate Petitioners' argument that reasonable doubt exists as to the eligibility of the Democratic Party’s nominee for President," the case said.

Get Brad O'Leary's blockbuster book detailing the agenda for the upcoming Obama White House, "The Audacity of Deceit."

"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," the complaint said, when in fact the only documentation currently required is a signed statement from the candidate attesting to those qualifications.

"Since [the Secretary of State] has, as its core, the mission of certifying and establishing the validity of the election process, this writ seeks a Court Order barring SOS from certifying the California Electors until documentary proof that Senator Obama is a 'natural born' citizen of the United States of America is received by her," the document said.

"This proof could include items such as his original birth certificate, showing the name of the hospital and the name and the signature of the doctor, all of his passports with immigration stamps, and verification from the governments where the candidate has resided, verifying that he did not, and does not, hold citizenship of these countries, and any other documents that certify an individual’s citizenship and/or qualification for office.

"To this date, in this regard, SOS has not carried out that fundamental duty."

The case said a simple attestation from the candidate or his party isn't sufficient.

"Historically, California Secretaries of State have exercised their due diligence by reviewing necessary background documents, verifying that the candidates that were submitted by the respective political parties as eligible for the ballot were indeed eligible. In 1968, the Peace and Freedom Party submitted the name of Eldridge Cleaver as a qualified candidate for President of the United States. The then SOS, Mr. Frank Jordan, found that, according to Mr. Cleaver's birth certificate, he was only 34 years old, one year shy of the 35 years of age needed to be on the ballot as a candidate for President. Using his administrative powers, Mr. Jordan removed Mr. Cleaver from the ballot. Mr. Cleaver unsuccessfully challenged this decision to the Supreme Court of the State of California, and, later, to the Supreme Court of the United States."

Similarly, in 1984, the Peace and Freedom Party candidate Larry Holmes was removed from the ballot.

The "certificate of live birth" posted by the Obama campaign cannot be viewed as authoritative, the case alleges.

"Hawaii Revised Statute 338-178 allows registration of birth in Hawaii for a child that was born outside of Hawaii to parents who, for a year preceding the child’s birth, claimed Hawaii as their place of residence," the document said. "The only way to know where Senator Obama was actually born is to view Senator Obama's original birth certificate from 1961 that shows the name of the hospital and the name and signature of the doctor that delivered him."

The case also raises the circumstances of Obama's time during his youth in Indonesia, where he was listed as having Indonesian citizenship. Indonesia does not allow dual citizenship, raising the possibility of Obama's mother having given up his U.S. citizenship.

Any subsequent U.S. citizenship then, the case claims, would be "naturalized," not "natural-born."

"Based on all of the above, it is the duty of the SOS to obtain proper documentation of Senator Obama's citizenship to confirm his eligibility for the office or the President of the United States," the case said.

Just this week, WND has reported on more than half a dozen other legal challenges have been filed in federal and state courts demanding Obama's decertification from ballots or seeking to halt elector meetings, claiming he has failed to prove his U.S. citizenship status.

Among the states where cases are being tracked are Ohio, Connecticut, Washington, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Hawaii, and there were reports of other cases being developed in Utah, Wyoming, Florida, New York, North Carolina, Texas, California and Virginia.

And I can smell it all the way down here in South Carolina.

But I thought the smell was coming from Chicago, or even Honolulu.

P-yew!!!

Hey, Rockfish! Wouldn't it be a thrill to thwart the CFR on this one?!!!

I think I'm getting that feeling that Chris Matthews talked about, just thinking of setting the CFR back a few years on their agenda for world domination.

In the Left Behind series, did the resistance have a war cry?

I hope all these lawsuits turn up something. I want the truth.

Do I hear 20 states..?

Yes..!

Ok, do I hear 30..?

30..!!

Ok, 40..?

50..!!!

Yes, ..I hear ALL 50 states..!!

Hussein: ..but I tell you, there are 57 states..!!





I hear by order..














If this Republic is going to last more than the ‘typical 200’ years..

..and I'm SURE it has MORE than that potential..

Than we'd better be prepared, for an ousting of an Usurper..

AKA: [Marxist Sociopath] Berserk Hussein NotBambi..!

We'll probably have at least 3-4 more..

..during a thousand year Republic..!

And why stop there..?

NEVER give up..!!

This case just scares the hell out of me. Can you imagine what would happen if they declared Obama ineligible now? The shear fanaticism shown by some of his followers during the election, can you imagine how they would react to such news? We would have civil unrest unlike anything we have seen before.

I don't know, the civil unrest 232 years ago was pretty bad. And just 150 years ago or so it wasn't to good either. If the man is inelligible, he should do the right thing. The people who followed him blindly without questioning anything, well you get what you deserve. Is it a perverbial substance burger to swallow? Well unfortunately yes. But to let it continue unabashed full well knowing that it is wrong is a far greater travesty, than to correct it before it gets out of hand.

And I would rather have the unrest that may follow, than to let a man who is the most unAmerican candidate stay in the office where he can do so much more damage to where the unrest could break out into a level like that as it was from 1861 to 1865.

If the goal was to elect an American of "color", I would have rather had Alan Keyes, than Obama. At least he supports closing the borders down to make it harder than to just walk across it. And no I do not agree with everything Alan Keyes stands for, but he's a hell of a lot more American than Obama.

Instead we will see the advancement of communism that hasn't been seen since the days of FDR.

I heard on CNN today that Obama specialized in Constitutional law. Really. Then he should know that he has to show proof that he is eligible to be our next president.

Some state courts have already ruled that Obama has shown proof of U S citizenship by presenting his Certification of Life Birth which is not a birth certificate but a summary of it. And it was the governor of Hawaii that ordered the file sealed. It doesn't seem likely any of these law suits will get anywhere. I noticed that this article doesn't say the law suit has any evidence that Obama is not a natural born citizen. The article just says that the suit cites Hawaiian laws and that they might have been violated.
