“Thank you very much for contacting me regarding President Obama’s nationality and eligibility to hold the Presidency. I apologize for the delay in responding to your inquiry, rest assured that your message is important to me and helps me to better formulate my decisions. Despite the delay in my response, I did review your thoughts and appreciate your input on the matter.” “After many pundits, politicians, and everyday citizens called for an investigation into President Obama’s background, more specifically his nationality, the White House released his long-form birth certificate on April 27, 2011. While I believe that this issue was handled poorly by this Administration, I do believe that this is a legitimate document and that he is a natural born citizen.”Having a Ph.D. in government, I believe that Rep. Gibson knows that Obama does not meet the requirements of natural born citizenship as defined by Article II, Section I, Clause 5 of the Constitution and the Supreme Court binding precedent in Minor vs. Happersett (1874), that is, born a US citizen of US citizen parents at the time of birth. He must also be aware of the numerous analyses demonstrating that the long-form birth certificate presented by Obama on April 27, 2011 is a forgery. Rep. Gibson’s responses to his constituents, however, are no different than the responses by other members of Congress to the thousands of inquiries made by Americans questioning Obama’s eligibility and crimes. The Congress responds with silence or disinformation. The Pelosi-Reid far-left wing, which now controls the Democrat Party were complicit in the Obama fraud, while the Republican Party is attempting to cover up their dereliction of duty for not vetting Obama and their cowardice for not challenging Obama stemming from political correctness. Obama and the Democrats may be destroying the Constitution and the country, but the Republicans are their willing accomplices. It should be, by now, clear to all Americans that the Democrat and Republican Parties do not represent the American people, but represent a permanent political establishment, which serves only itself. The Congress has absolutely no intention of seriously investigating Obama in any way, but will still ask us to vote for them in 2012 and endorse their endemic corruption. No way. It is time to take down the permanent political establishment through an alternative political movement, like the Tea Party, and return the government to the people. "In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated, and scorned. When his cause succeeds however, the timid join him, For then it costs nothing to be a patriot." -- Mark Twain It is time for patriots to defend America from a corrupt government and those who are subverting our Constitution.
