WHAT WERE HE AND OTHERS THINKING?

Dear Editor,

Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) served four terms in the U.S. House of Representatives before his election to the U.S. Senate in 1994. Prior to that, he served as a state legislator.

The following letter was sent to Sen. James Inhofe this morning.

January 15, 2011

Sen. James Inhofe
453 Russell Senate Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20510-3603

Dear Sen. Inhofe,

I am aware of the position you and many members of the legislature have taken on Obama’s ‘question of eligibility’ in that Gov. Lingle said he was born in Hawaii and that’s good enough for you. Well, its not good enough for me. Whether he was born on US soil or not is irrelevant. Basic civics teaches that the ‘natural born citizen’ requirement means born on American soil to two US citizen parents. That both parents be citizens mostly ensures there would be loyalty and allegiance to America alone. Natural born is not “native” born.

I’m convinced that you know the difference, but for the life of me I cannot understand why you along with Mary Landrieu and former OK Senator Don Nickles would presume to interpret the Constitution (which is a violation of the constitution itself) and proffer a bill (108th Congress, 2nd Session S.2128.IS) reducing to a minimum the qualifications for eligibility for the Office of President as any person born in or out of the United States as long as one parent is a citizen.

Thank God and the profound wisdom of our founding fathers your bill was not passed. It does compel me to question why two Oklahoma senators and one Louisiana senator would attempt to pass such a bill that invites and allows foreigners in the very sense of the word with loyalty and allegiance to another country, culture or ideology to attain the highest office in our great nation.

I was shocked, saddened and outraged when I learned about this bill. Ten days earlier I sent you a letter thanking you and telling you how very proud I was of you for refusing to ride your horse in the Tulsa Christmas parade because they dropped the word “Christmas” from the event.  I thought you were a champion of christian America and the values and principles that make us the greatest nation the world has ever known. Now I feel betrayed.

As your constituent in Oklahoma I’m going to insist on an explanation as to why you did this. The number of Americans now questioning Obama’s eligibility is in the millions and I dare say his continuation as putative president has become a constitutional crisis and cries out for attention. What conversations did you have with Nickles and Landrieu in the time frame leading up to February, 2004? Was Bobby Jindal discussed? Was Obama discussed? It seems to me this bill was tailor-made to clear the way for Obama, and Jindal too, for that matter, to run for president. Had your bill passed, Obama would have met the criteria he is being challenged on today. That it didn’t, proves he did not and never did meet the ‘natural born Citizen’ status as required in Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution of the United States.

Anxiously awaiting your response I remain, sincerely,

Miki Booth

Dan, I think the video was scrubbed from the internet as I cannot locate it–however I remember his words well and know what it was that he said. I am sure that he had probably been asked the same question by other reporters throughout Barrys term, so all I am saying is I think you are refering to the wrong one.

Also, the interview was not during a Christmas party. It was done live, on the streets of DC. If I can find it I will surely post it.

“Wait a minute – am I reading this correctly? U.S. Senators offered a Bill to make it constitutional for someone with a foreign born parent to be elected President? Why was the Bill necessary and if it was why- how can Obama qualify for President if it never passed?”

Now there is a great question(s). Was it meant to be a solution to a problem that does not exist? I think not. They know full well who they have in the WH and are trying to make the problems go away.

I call it treason.

The Constitution means nothing to the majority of our elected officials. The Republic by default is no longer supported by the Rule of Law…….yet life goes on. This view that life goes on regardless of what they’ve done to the Constitution is reckless. I know that when I tell a lie, I know that it’s wrong and I feel the conviction of it and whether I can “see” it or not…….it directly affects me in a negative way until I rectify it.

Last week I was having a ‘discussion’ about Obama’s eligibility with a very liberal relative of mine who lives in HI, and he asked sarcastically ‘Did I think that this ‘conspiracy’ (to elect Obama) goes back 15 years?’

I said ‘No, but at least 5 years ago.’

Now I see that with the treasonous and unconstitutional action by Inhofe and co-horts, the conspiracy can be proven to go back at least 6 years (February 2004). It looks like the Treason is as high as the Corn in Oklahoma!

I would send this on as proof to my ‘relative’, but deafened ears do not hear, and blinded eyes do not see.

It becomes obvious that the American people will have to ‘continue the research and investigate on their own’ (as Inhofe was reported to have said), until we reach that critical mass of 3% of the population (~10 million) becoming pro-active in demanding that the Constitution is still the Supreme Law of the Land.

Take it to your sitting Grand Jury and demand investigations into the corruption of your voting booth. They have the subpoena power, with or without the consent of the Judge or the Prosecuting District Attorney. They just don’t know it yet.

It’s up to you, and I, to tell them, one county Grand Jury juror at a time.

Monday, January 17, 2011 11:29 AM

You know what? Letters like this, like our former position on this issue, are in the past.

When both ultra-liberal Obama sycophant Chris Matthews explained why the COLB was no good and called for Obama to release his long-form birth certificate, coupled with the ultra-liberal Hawaiian governor demanding the same, the entire world revolving around Obama’s citizenship issue turned upside down. It’s the most dramatic socio-political upheaval that nobody noticed.

Get on every mainstream comment site you can (don’t bother with ‘conservative/patriot message boards – we’ve done enough indignant constitutional posturing to and at each other, we need to reach the rest of America, now) and invoke Chris Matthews’ name and liberal TV host position when demanding Obama release his records, and in so doing tell the world it isn’;t a right-wing issue anymore. Cite Hawaiian governor Abercrombie, also. Matthews explained why the COLB is no good. You can see the video on youtube. This is HUGE.

Now, there are some sites actually telling people NOT to bother with comment sections, that it’ won’t do any good. “Make youtubes, start your own sites” and such is their opinion, but in my opinion, it’s wrong – those things such as videos and websites have been tried for 3 years on this issue. That part is done. now it’s time to do the rest. These people will tell you not to waste your breathe arguing with liberals, and in a way that’s right – don;t argue. Just make up some responses and copy and paste like mad every day, and let the liberals waste THEIR time arguing why Obama should not release his records. Don;t engage them, simply make their expend energy fighting the truth. If you just post the plain info and nothing else – even just a couple of lines – as much as you can, you cannot lose. And if even a fraction of the readers here did this simple thing, we could control the comments sections until the media cries uncle, or closes down the comments sections.

So please get out there. New websites? Done and unnecessary. message boards/ yelling into a vacuum.Videos? There are plenty. Now we take over the comments sections of the news reports. And remember to invoke the name of our pal Chris Matthews at every turn. If enough people mention it , he might just be inspired to talk about it again and again.

And be sure to let Fox news know that you feel Chris Matthews is doing the job you feel they should.

One hour a day on your favorite mainstream news comment section. Make it a daily habit.

Here’s some interesting tidbits on Inhofe. A Tulsa resident also contacted his chief of staff (he knows him personally) demanding a prompt reply/explanation. Inhofe pie to be served up shortly

American Grand Jury blog:

Miki,
I had written several times to Senator Inhofe about Barry and he finally did write back and say that he did think he was born in HI-blah blah—not a typical govt form letter. About a year ago, a reporter, on youtube, interviewed Senator Inhofe about barry, asking if he had any information or heard about this and Senator Inhofe clearly and distinctly said, “I have heard and read about it, but I am too busy keeping things even keel, to do any research, and I suggest that the American people continue to research and investigate this on their own.” Those, Miki were his words and somewhere on youtube you can find it.
Inhofe is my senator too as I am in Tulsa. I moved here from the east coast 5 yrs ago to escape the theft of taxation. Being this is a red state, I still find a lot of obot lovers simply because there are a lot of entitlees who believe it is our responsibility to take care of one another!! Those words were said to me, by my niece, who continues to feel this way as she purports on facebook to be an atheist and extremely liberal.
I only hope you get your answer from Senator Inhofe and please post it when you do. I also know that you are in OK–have you too seen the massive chemtrail spraying here? For the past 3 yrs it has gotten worse but now it is continuous.
Heather
—————–
Heather,
I live in the extreme northeast corner of OK. I haven’t seen chemtrails but I’ve never really been on the lookout for them but I sure am now with the subject going mainstream at least on the internet.
Dan from Tulsa just sent this message on facebook to me with what Inhofe said to him regarding usurper BO/BS:

Dan wrote: “Miki, it was Dec 12 2008, three days Before the Supremes had turned down Berg in his Dec 15 hearing, I ran into Jim at the airport Christmas Party…. I asked him face to face. He told me (quote) “any time you spend on that you are just wasting. I’m sure he has shown that birth certificate to someone in charge of those things by now.” I responded, “and who might that be?” He again said, “well, I don’t know who, but trust me, He has surely shown it to someone by now they would need to know. If you are worrying about that, you are wasting your time.” Then he walked away.”
———————
If you don’t mind I’m going to send your comment to my email lists. They will find it very interesting.
Thanks, Miki
P.s. Because of gubmint regulation I am forced to watch news from KS and MO on Dish. NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE NEWS FROM MY OWN STATE! I miss out what’s happening in Tulsa and the rest of the state. Election night – results from KS and MO. How sucky is that??!!

Considering the above comment, any communications with Inhofe should include this from the Congressional Research Service document dated April 3, 2009, and sent to every member of Congress, in which they attempted to get all of Congress on the same page in whatever they told their constituents about Obama’s eligibility, or lack thereof.

It states:

“Concerning the production or release of an original birth certificate, it should be noted that there is no federal law, regulation, rule, guideline, or requirement that a candidate for federal office produce his or her original birth certificate, or a certified copy of the record of live birth, to any official of the United States government; nor is there a requirement for federal candidates to publicly release such personal record or documentation. Furthermore, there is no specific federal agency or office that ‘vets’ candidates for federal office as to qualifications or eligibility prior to return.”

What the CRS admits is that Obama got a pass from Congress and the federal government as a whole on his birth qualifications under Article 2, Section 1.

Nobody in Congress or the federal government sought to look for Obama’s certified long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate because no law or regulation required them to look.

The document is available all over the Internet.

Miki,
Great letter.
In your attempt to be concise, however, there are a couple of important criticisms that you omitted. One is: Where did these pompous, arrogant a**** get the gall to think that they have the authority to CHANGE the US Constitution by a mere legislative act ??? !!! They are either very bold, or very ignorant. In either event, they have no business conducting “The People’s Business”. Corrupt Incompetents, all.

Continuing in the same vein of your letter: Students further learn in basic Civics Class: “The Founders INTENDED that the Constitution was to be changed ONLY by the arduous process of AMENDMENT – that was laid out therein.” Therefore, legislative fiats, executive fiats, and judicial fiats, just do not meet the rigorous Constitutional Standard that was set for “changes” to that Precious Contract.

Sometimes, the US Supreme Court arrogantly goes astray, and “changes” the meaning of the Constitution with how they “interpret” the meaning of a word or clause. But, such perversions were never the INTENT of the Founders. The Court just grabbed / arrogated that power unto themselves. Consequently, they have acquired an especially solemn duty to “interpret” words and clauses of the Constitution solely in light of: “What was the original INTENT of the Founders, when they chose the words ???”

One of the most basic Legal PRINCIPLES that a beginning Law Student learns is: “animus hominis est, anima scripti” — “The intent of the parties is the soul of the instrument.” Put another way: “The EXTENT of a statute is governed by the INTENT of the Legislators.” Or, from yet another perspective, no Judge should ever construe (even if literally) a statute beyond the scope originally contemplated by the Legislature. These important “limiting” concepts are a part of ancient Common Law, and are now part of US Federal Common Law. The fact that Judicial “over-steppings” frequently and routinely occur, still does NOT make them acceptable.

It is from this proper foundation that our Legislators and Judges must relentlessly and honestly ask themselves, “What was the Original INTENT of the Founders in specifying that to be President, one MUST be a “natural born Citizen”” (Article II, Section 1, Clause 5) ???

And, when the 14th Amendment was enacted, did the Legislators / and The People INTEND to provide “naturalized” citizenship to anyone other than the former Slaves, who had been mistreated legally (by some arrogant States) ??? OK, but, did they also INTEND to create “anchor babies”, created by “foreigners”, as yet another form of “naturalized” citizenship (Positive Law)??? Very important questions. Needless to say, It was NOT the INTENT of the 14th Amendment to re-define the “meaning” of “natural born Citizen” – which is defined by “Natural Law” (Nature), not Positive (or man-made) Law.

Any Public Official who willfully choses to disregard the above limitations to their proper powers – and decides to parse and “re-define” words so that they can circumvent Original INTENT – commits Tyranny, Treason, and Perjury to their Oaths.

Any Jurist who avoids accepting proper Jurisdiction in cases just because they are “tough”, or unpleasant, is beneath contempt. That’s right: Our present Supreme Court: “Isn’t worth a bucket of warm spit” !!!

As much as I admire and respect both Gov. Jindal and Sen. Rubio (even sent him some money), I could never vote for either, as candidate for President. If they run, they would simply prove that they are no different than our present Usurper / Charlatan, who “outsmarted” over 52% of our electorate.

Sadly, much of our Educational System has also degenerated into another: ” Bucket of warm spit”.

You are obviously too much of a Lady, and too cultured, to hurl invectives and insults at worthless political hacks. Nonetheless, although your letter was “diplomatic,” it still conveyed the basic message very well. Your “honey” will definitely “catch more flies” than my “vinegar.”

Kudos.

You may also read the Oct 5th 2004 senate judicial hearing on the same subject and get a detailed view of the agenda and also see the explicit admission that this legislation had been tried before and this attempt was to subvert the NBC clause as well yet there was a vote to move it to the floor as if the judiciary committee had cleared it constitutionally. That act was an open attempt to legislate a known constitutional bar through citizenship.

I dare say the case of Obama entering was indeed an act of the end justifying the means. That end has been prolific in documenting every negative effect a foreign national might have had he acquired the powers of president and especially during a period where both houses of congress were sympathetic to either the plan to evade the constitution or with full knowledge of the intended legislative assault upon America. We are now suffering the results of fear, fraud and mistake while our nation becomes unhinged from the constitution and begins it’s socialist phase of debt destruction during a time of world power changes in Iran, Lebanon, Iraq, North Korea, Venezuela, Brazil and the EU. A perfect storm for a constitutional coup.

Miki,

Great letter that will fall on deaf ears. Thank you for reminding us that the Marxist thug who usurped the office of President was installed in the office with not merely the acquiescence of Congress, but with its premeditated complicity. In other words, every Member of the 111th Congress, by remaining silent when the Electoral votes were counted on January 8, 2009, shirked their duty and responsibility and repudiated their oaths of office. No matter how much they try to deny it and back-pedal, they are AS GUILTY AS OBAMA.

More helpings of “pudding” (proof):

– In 2004, U.S. Senate candidate Obama admitted to his Republican opponent, Alan Keyes, that [paraphrased] “it doesn’t matter that I’m not a natural born citizen – I’m not running for President.”

– Mentioning Jindal as potential POTUS candidate when he is ineligible due to alien parents.

– SR 511, a non-binding piece of garbage sponsored by DemocRATS Leahy, McCaskill, Clinton – and Obama! – passed unanimously on April 30, 2008 – FOUR MONTHS before Obama’s rigged nomination. Commented Leahy in April 2008: “Because he was born to American citizens, there is no doubt in my mind that Senator McCain is a natural born citizen. I expect that this will be a unanimous resolution of the Senate.” On April 3, at a Judiciary Committee hearing, Leahy asked Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff (a former Federal judge) if he thought McCain was eligible to serve as President. Said Chertoff: “My assumption and my understanding is that if you are born of American parents, you are naturally a natural-born American citizen.”

“That is mine, too,” said Leahy.

What part of “NOT ELIGIBLE” do people not understand?

“. . . a natural-born American citizen”. It just occurred to me that this was exactly how Dr. Fukino referred to Obama in her statement. Could she have been inferring that Obama was born to American parents, using the definition provided by Chertoff?

Jindal wouldn’t have qualified under Inhofe’s proposed bill as neither of his parents were citizens. Also, if the 14th amendment had not been erroneously interpreted by the Courts, and its true meaning allowed, then he wouldn’t have been a U.S citizen at birth either, but, under principles of natural law, he would have taken on the citizenship of his parents who were from India and not yet naturalized.
