Dear Mr. Haskins, Thank you for contacting me to share your thoughts regarding the citizenship of President Obama and the eligibility requirements for individuals to be elected to the Office of the President of the United States. The facts have consistently shown that President Obama was born in the United States. As a natural-born American citizen, he is fully eligible to serve as President of our country. Again, thank you for contacting me. For further information or to sign up for my newsletter please visit my website at warner.senate.gov. Sincerely, MARK R. WARNERUnited States Senator And, here is how I replied to his vapid email:
Senator Warner, Thank you for your reply to my correspondence. If I may, please allow me to ask you for a bit of clarification to your statement "The facts have consistently shown that President Obama was born in the United States. As a natural-born American citizen, he is fully eligible to serve as President of our country." To what facts, specifically, could you be referring? Is it the first COLB that was posted on the Internet? The one that has been proven to be a forgery?(atlasshrugs) Or, is it the second "Certificate of Live Birth" Obama released? The one that has also been shown extensively to be a forgery?(obamareleaseyourrecords.blogspot.com and wnd.com andyoutube.com) It is also the one that Major General Paul Vallely states that he had ex-CIA and investigators examine, and "10 out of 10 said it's a forgery."? (obamareleaseyourrecords.blogspot.com) He also stated that our public officials in Washington know that Obama is not eligible to be president, but that you fear a "black backlash." What an awful commentary on the health of the rule of law in this country! Of course, you couldn't be suggesting that he is legitimate because he has a social security number and he registered for Selective Service, as both of those have been shown to be illegitimate as well. Moreover, your statement sounds like it was written by Jack Maskell, since you, as he did, conveniently excised the truth right out of your statement. Even if Obama was born in Hawaii (which, there is no reliable "fact" of that ever happening), the historical understanding of the framers was that a natural born Citizen is one born in the country of citizen parents (puzo1.blogspot.com). If I may remind you, the letter I sent to you did not ask you to weigh in on your beliefs about Barack Obama's eligibility, but rather to investigate the commission of at least one felony forgery. I would appreciate your response to the actual letter I sent. Senator Warner, I know you are a Democrat, but your oath of office supersedes your party affiliation, and so far, you have abrogated that oath, for you are neither supporting nor defending the Constitution. What, other than forged documentation, do you consider to be the "facts" upon which you have relied? Merely the word of the person who forged his documents? Will the whole of Congress continue to display the sheer cowardice it has taken to evade and cover up this constitutional crisis, or will you finally remember your duties to your oaths? The American people are being lied to, and your email is endemic of that lie. How about a little courage and a whole lot of truth for a change, Senator Warner? Instead of covering up what you know to be crimes against our Constitution, show the American people that we deserve nothing but the truth from our members of Congress. With so many across our land who are aware of these problems with Barack Obama's eligibility (and with the forgeries he has released), a non-partisan, independent investigation into the real "facts" (not your aforementioned "facts") is the very least our public servants should do for we, the people. If there were nothing to hide, then that investigation should be welcomed from both sides of the aisle, since there is so much concern about the issue from the citizens of this country. I look forward to hearing the results of that investigation. For our Constitution, Dean Haskins Forest, VAP.S. So that you might fully understand that this is, in no way, a partisan issue, here is a letter that my friend CDR (Ret) Charles F. Kerchner, Jr. has written to Speaker of the House John Boehner: http://tinyurl.com/3fbvbup I'm pretty sure I won't hear anything in response to that. However, something dawned on me tonight--actually, something that leads me to believe that I should have been a lawyer (okay, maybe not). Nevertheless, I think this could be important. Put your logic caps on and follow me here. Fogbowers, you'll need to wait outside, since you don't have the prerequisite equipment for this. First, I must give credit where credit is due. I was prompted to write my previous letter because of an article by Dr. Kate on misprision of felony. (drkatesview.wordpress.com). So, I wrote my letter, and asked you to write letters, too. Problem is, I think most of my letters were received with a "How nice, you've reported a crime that I'm not going to do anything about" attitude. And, gauging the level of corruption in our federal government, I suppose that is what I expected. But, here's where it gets good. Let's start with the actual verbiage of the code. Title 18 U.S.C. Chapter 1, § 4 states, "Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both." This is federal law--applicable to every citizen in the United States. And, under this law, I did my duty by reporting the crime of felony forgery to public officials. But, in doing so, I was acting like it would matter to the members of a corrupt federal government. And, that's where I got it wrong. Not really wrong, legally, but wrong, considering with whom I was dealing. On April 27, 2011, Barack Obama didn't come to my house and secretly show me a forged document. He showed it to everyone. And, whom do you think "everyone" includes? That's right. The 535 members of Congress. And, under Title 18 U.S.C. Chapter 1, § 4, ANYONE who witnesses the commission of a felony, and doesn't report it, is breaking the law. That includes the members of Congress. Every single member of Congress is responsible, under the law, to report this crime. Here are the facts:
