Petition for eligibility probe nears 40,000 mark

Americans agree with Sheriff Joe on need to investigate Obama

Excerpt:

"WASHINGTON – WND’s week-old petition to Congress to investigate Barack Obama’s constitutional eligibility for office is nearing 40,000 names.

Spurred by the findings of Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio who has concluded there is probable to suspect fraud in the creation of the birth certificate posted one year ago on the White House website, the petition represents a last-ditch effort to clear the air on Obama’s legitimacy before the November election.

“Can you believe Obama is still playing games with his identity six months before the next presidential election?” asks Joseph Farah, chief executive officer and editor of WND. “As I have long predicted, no court in America is going to take this hot potato of a case. It is the sworn duty of Congress to uphold the Constitution and hold the executive branch accountable to the people. It’s time to turn up the heat on the timid, fearful Republicans and the see-no-evil Democrats.”

Arpaio himself, whose office has conducted the only law enforcement investigation of the questions surrounding Obama’s birth documents and eligibility questions, has asked for assistance from Congress. But, so far, his requests have fallen on deaf ears.

Arpaio recently told WABC radio host and WND senior staff reporter Aaron Klein that the media and politicians alike are afraid to touch the issue.

“Why didn’t someone investigate this? I mean, where is everybody?” Arpaio asked Klein. “How come the federal agencies aren’t investigating? We’re dealing with federal issues here. So everybody’s hiding, and they’re still hiding.”

Tell Congress what Arpaio learned about Obama!

Petition seeks investigation of what law enforcement calls probable forgery

Excerpt:

"A good number of members of Congress still believe that an online image posted by the White House – the one Sheriff Joe Arpaio concluded likely is a forgery – is all that’s needed for Barack Obama to meet the Constitution’s requirements that a president be a “natural born citizen.”

And that’s the same document some experts say simply proves his ineligibility.

That congressional opinion comes from a number of letters WND readers have forwarded; letters that come from their members of Congress in response to questions about why isn’t that body doing something to investigate the many questions about Obama’s eligibility.

The letters came at the same time a new petition allows Americans to urge their members of Congress to take the issue seriously with an investigation. The number of names on that document has surged past 40,000 and soon will be approaching 50,000.

Among the comments that arrived in just the past few days:

Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., said that while “Sheriff Arpaio claims that this birth certificate is a forgery … Hawaiian officials from both parties have repeatedly stated that the president’s birth certificate is genuine.”

Tom McClintock, R-Calif., explained that there’s a political vetting process, then the voters weigh in, Congress oversees the results and then the courts have a say. “President Obama has passed each of these requirements.”

Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., told his constituent that, “You may be pleased to learn that the White House recently published a copy (sic) president Obama’s birth certificate, which can be viewed [online].”

And from Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ill., was this: “I will continue to take the president at his word that he is a natural born citizen of the United States.”

WND previously reported that Jerry W. Mansfield, an information research specialist in the Knowledge Services Group of the Congressional Research Service, issued a memo to prepare members of Congress to rebut and defuse questions constituents were asking regarding Obama’s presidential eligibility under the natural-born citizen requirement of the Constitution.

Many members of Congress have been found to be quoting from the memo to turn away questions about eligibility. Attached to the memo was an attack piece published by FactCheck.org to dismiss claims that Obama’s short-form Certification of Live Birth, originally published during the 2008 presidential campaign by DailyKos.com, was a forgery.

When Obama released an image of a Hawaiian long-form birth certificate on April 27, 2011, after years of stating that the document was not available, the Hawaii Department of Health and governor’s office refused to confirm for WND that the image released was an accurate representation of the state’s records.

That’s the document Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s law enforcement investigators say probably is a forgery, while other critics have said since they believe the “natural born citizen” cited in the Constitution was to have been the offspring of two citizen parents, the document proves Obama’s ineligibility, as it lists his father as Barack Sr., who never was a U.S. citizen."
