Laguna Niguel dentist and attorney Orly Taitz didn’t miss a beat this week in her relentless challenge of President Barack Obama‘s legitimacy, as she gears up for a federal appeals court hearing Monday in Pasadena.

Obama on Wednesday released his long-form birth certificate – which birthplace skeptics have been calling for since 2008 – but Taitz remains skeptical. On her website, she sends out a plea for help in preparation for Monday’s hearing.

“I need help of photoshop experts to provide affidavits, that I can submit to court,â€

I hope you are joking. The only sad thing about this is the fact that the so called Political Leaders are not jumping to help her out.

It would be good cause it would undo all the damage this one world Pink-O dictator has done to America and is doing to America! People just can't believe he is an American "Because he don't act like one!"

Dr. Taitz is a brave woman and she certainly behaves like an American! I think she is wonderful.

Ditto! This country could use a few more like Dr.Taitz! This woman is being beaten to hell and still refuses to quit. As an immigrant, she understands how important upholding our Constitution really is and is doing everything in her power to do just that.

I'll take a Dr. Taitz any day of the week over the RINO traitors currently masquerading as so called leaders and patriots in this country!!

RAMONA: Local attorney still arguing President Obama's citizenship

Even though President Barack Obama released his full birth certificate today, two Southland attorneys who sued in federal court in Santa Ana to challenge his citizenship continued to raise questions.

Attorneys Gary Kreep and Orly Taitz, who sued in federal court, will continue to press their cases in oral arguments scheduled for Monday morning in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in Pasadena. U.S. District Judge David O. Carter dismissed their lawsuit in October 2009, ruling the courts are not the proper place to challenge a president's election.

Ramona-based attorney Kreep said he still questions whether Obama had dual citizenship when he was traveling abroad as a college student and obtained a passport from another country.

"He has stated he traveled to Pakistan in the 1980s and he didn't have a U.S. passport until he was a senator," Kreep said. "He had to have gotten a passport from somewhere... They don't hand out those passports for the fun of it."

Kreep will argue in Monday's hearing that he should be allowed to have forensic experts examine the birth certificate. That still would not settle the lawsuit, however, if the experts proclaim it is bona fide.

"I'm willing to accept the document he released today is legitimate, and if it is then so be it the birth certificate issue is no more, but that doesn't settle the eligibility issue," Kreep said, adding he has heard reports that he has been unable to confirm of Obama being adopted by a foster father when he lived in Indonesia with his mother and her second husband when Obama was a child.

"There are still a lot of questions that need to be answered," Kreep said. "He has generated so much distrust on this issue with his actions that we need to find out what's true."

Kreep said he will also argue that Carter erred when he ruled the courts can't settle the issue of Obama's eligibility to serve as president.

"This is a constitutional issue, not some esoteric exercise," Kreep said.

Kreep noted no other lawsuits challenging Obama's citizenship have been granted oral arguments in the appellate court system.

The Rancho Santa Margarita-based Taitz, who was sanctioned by a federal judge in Georgia with a $20,000 fine for pressing a lawsuit regarding Obama's citizenship there, questioned the authenticity of the birth certificate because it lists the race of Obama's father's as African.

"I do have a census from 1960 and the only options are white, Asian or Negro," Taitz said. "I know it's not politically correct today, but in 1961 they did not write the race as African -- they would write the race as Negro."

Messages left with officials at Hawaii's Department of Health, which issued the birth certificate, were not immediately returned.

There is no legal requirement for Hawaii state officials to have been limited to using census terminology on birth certificates.

Taitz said she has paid the $20,000 fine with the help from supporters, who have contributed $17,000.

Former Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle, a Republican, and Gov. Neil Abercrombie, a Democrat, have confirmed the legitimacy of Obama's birth certificate before Obama released it today. The Annenberg Public Policy Institute and CNN have conducted investigations that determined the birth documents are legitimate.

There were birth notices in two Hawaii newspapers when Obama was born.

"Over the last 2 1/2 years I have watched with bemusement, I've been puzzled at the degree to which this thing just kept on going," Obama told reporters at the White House today.

"We've had every official in Hawaii, Democrat and Republican, every news outlet that has investigated this, confirm that yes, in fact, I was born in Hawaii, August 4, 1961 in Kapiolani Hospital."

Obama later said, "I know there's going to be a segment of people for which, no matter what we put out, this issue will not be put to rest.

"But I'm speaking to the vast majority of the American people -- as well as to the press -- we do not have time for this kind of silliness. We've got better stuff to do. We've got big problems to solve. And I'm confident we can solve them, but we're going to have to focus on them, not on this."

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said Obama's "campaign politics and talk about birth certificates is distracting him from our No. 1 priority -- our economy."

"As I've repeatedly stated, this issue is a distraction," Priebus said. "Our economy is strained from out-of-control deficits, debt and unsustainable entitlements.

"The president ought to spend his time getting serious about repairing our economy, working with Republicans and focusing on the long-term sustainability of Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security."
