Leo Donofrio filed a solid lawsuit.
Hard to get behind Berg, his was not a good lawsuit. This, OTOH, is. Do I think it should be pursued, yes? Do I believe Obama was born in Hawaii? Probably. Is there something on Obama's birth certificate he does not want us to see. Foe shizzle. Should a President of the United States have to present his vault copy to take office? Absolutely. I don't know what is on the birth certificate- I do know Obama does not want us to see it.
But with Obama - there is no law. It's Alinsky style anarchy.
Obama Presidency Challenged By New Jersey Voter re:"natural born citizen" - Before US Supreme Court
PRLog (Press Release) – Nov 10, 2008 – On October 27, 2008, plaintiff-appellant, Leo Donofrio, a retired attorney acting Pro Se, sued Nina Mitchell Wells, Secretary of State of the State of New Jersey, in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division, demanding the Secretary execute her statutory and Constitutional duties to police the security of ballots in New Jersey from fraudulent candidates ineligible to hold the office of President of the United States due to their not being "natural born citizens" as enumerated in Article 1, Section 2, of the US Constitution.
Unlike other law suits filed against the candidates, Berg etc., this action was the only bi-partisan suit, which sought to have both McCain and Obama removed for the same reason. (Later, Plaintiff also sought the removal of Nicaraguan born Roger Colera, the Presidential candidate for the Socialist Workers Party). The Berg suit will almost certainly fail on the grounds of "standing", but Donofrio v. Wells, having come directly from NJ state courts, will require the SCOTUS to apply New Jersey law, and New Jersey has a liberal history of according standing to citizens seeking judicial review of State activity.
As a New Jersey citizen, I have proper standing. In fact, my standing wasn't challenged by the NJ Attorney General's office in their reply brief in defense of the Secretary of State, nor was my standing challenged by Judge Sabatino in his five page opinion from the NJ Appellate Division. Despite there having been no challenges to my standing raised below, out of respect for the United States Supreme Court, I did address the issue in my application for an emergency stay as follows:
Appellant's standing was not challenged in Respondent's reply brief, nor was it challenged in his Honorable Sabatino's order and decision. However, Appellant discusses the issue below in respect to this most Honorable Court's superior jurisdiction. In Ridgewood Education Association v Ridgewood Board Of Education, 284 N.J. Super. 427 (App. Div. (1995)), the Court stated, "We see no reason why this State's historic liberal approaches to the issue of standing in general....should not apply to taxpayer suits challenging the quasi-legislative actions of local boards of education." Silverman v. Board of Ed., Tp. of Millburn, 134 N.J. Super. 253, 257-58 (Law Div.), aff'd o.b. 131 N.J. Super. 435 (App. Div. 1975).
The policies of justice regarding the sanctity of voting rights were also stated in New Jersey Democratic Party v. Samson, 175 N.J. 178, 814 A.2d 1028 (October 2, 2002). Although the petitioner bringing suit in that case was a political party, the voting rights discussed and protected were those of individuals. Therefore, the reasoning of that case should apply when the petitioner is an individual voter.
Appellant's fundamental right to vote for a candidate who will not be disqualified after the election is now threatened by the inclusion on New Jersey ballots of three ineligible candidates.
"When the state legislature vests the right to vote for President in its people, the right to vote as the legislature has prescribed is fundamental; and one source of its fundamental nature lies in the equal weight accorded to each vote and the equal dignity owed to each voter." Bush v. Gore, 531 U.S 5, 6 (2000)
And finally, Appellant's fundamental right to live in the United States governed by a President and Commander In Chief who is Constitutionally eligible to the office of President is also threatened. Since this action is so very grounded in the interests of justice, and supported by all of the above, Appellant respectfully requests that this court recognize his standing.
While Mr. Berg, who has made a valiant effort, does not have legal standing, I do have a right of review by the US Supreme Court since New Jersey recognizes my standing and also because I have exhausted all of my state court options and there is nowhere else for me to go for justice.










So...this makes me wonder. I'll bet all of us that post on this blog are from different states. I wonder if each of us could take on this sort of suit in our own states. If we had at least 15 states that needed to respond, we could make it an issue that seriously needs to be looked at.

I wish I could say that I had hope that Obama will eventually be screwed to the wall and made to produce his documentation. But, as has been previously observed, this guy i operating above the law. The fact remains, however, that there is something on that birth certificate that he doesn't want us to see.

Yes Cate - it would be a terrific idea - with each Secretary of State.
Mind you, I am not convinced.
Knowing Obama as I do (after researching him for 18 months) the man has a closet full of terrible skeletons. Wouldn't he love us to rise up, big brouhaha, get America all riled up and then release the BC only to find it legit.
That would destroy any and all credibility of other legitimate concerns, scandals, etc concerning Obama.You couldn't touch him after that. Not that you can touch him now. He is above the law.
It is diabolical but it is very Obama.
Still, a POTUS should prove his eligibility. Period.

Arabic Negro.
That's what the O-mighty doesn't want you to see on the Hawaiian BC. His roots are not African Negro, but ARABIC Negro. (Talk about an inconvenient truth, sheesh)
By U.S. law, Barack Hussein Obama does not possess the prerequisite level of African Negro ancestry to be defined as an African American.
Therefore, he is not the first African American president of the United States of America, but rather the first Arabic-American president. Not that I am overly concerned, but it would appear that Senator Obama was concerned enough that this mystery birth certificate will remain a mystery--and yes, probably require a court order to produce.
Freedom of Information Act, anybody?
Keep digging, friends.

I emailed our Secretary of State (Oregon) and his reply was basically to tell me We The People do not have any Constitutional rights on this matter. Those were not his words but it was the impression I got from his answer and when I emailed back asking if my impression was correct, well it has been well over a month and I am still waiting for his answer. Everyone I have emailed has given me the run around saying it is the duty of the democrat party to verify the eligibility of their candidate. How convenient.

Hey y'all. Haven't posted in a while, sorry.
The one question I have about this, and it was a question I had about Berg's suite as well is this: shouldn't they file with the Fed. Election Commmitee FIRST? The FEC IS in charge, adminstrativley over the election and unless they've had a chance to rule on ANY case and/or to provide adminstrative releive, any case brought to any other judge/court will be thrown out in lieu of such action.
Any lawyers out here who know/understand this segment of the law specifically who can comment?
Don't get me wrong here, I LOVE the fact that there are people out there actively searching for the truth my problem is how they're going about it and whether or not they have a chance to succeed!
