Sen. Richard Blumenthal’s Office Does Not Deny Knowledge of Obama Forgeries

BUT COULDN’T WAIT TO HANG UP!

(Apr. 29, 2014) — On Tuesday afternoon, The Post & Email received an email from Connecticut U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal asking for support for Congress to vote on raising the national minimum wage to $10.10/hour.

The email request also included the name of Sen. Tammy Baldwin and was sent to our public email address as editor of The Post & Email.

Blumenthal’s message begins:

This week, the Senate will continue our work towards increasing the national minimum wage. Just last month in Connecticut, we raised the wage to $10.10/hour, and it’s time the for rest of the country to follow suit. That’s why Senator Baldwin and I are teaming up in this fight.

Blumenthal is not known for his honesty, as in 2008, he was caught “misspeaking” by The New York Times about his claim to have fought in the Vietnam War.  Blumenthal again misrepresented the facts about the minimum wage increase in Connecticut, which was voted on affirmatively by the General Assembly, but the rate of $10.10/hour does not take effect until 2017.  He also could not have been included in the “we” as a U.S. senator, not a state legislator.

Connecticut was reportedly listed as “dead last in economic growth in 2012″ and “unfriendly to business.”

The Post & Email contacted Blumenthal’s office to state that it is not the function of Congress to tell employers what they should pay their employees.  “If Congress made fewer laws, we would all have more freedom and the economy would improve,” we told the staffer who answered the phone.

The aide asked for our name and zip code.  After providing that information, we asked if we could make one more point, to which she assented.  We said:

What is the senator doing about Obama’s forged birth certificate and Selective Service registration form?

to which the aide responded in a noticeably altered and irritated tone of voice, “I don’t think the senator has issued a statement on that, ma’am.”

We then said, “Well, perhaps he should consider doing so, as there is a significant announcement coming in the near future by Sheriff Joe Arpaio.  We all know the documents are forgeries.  Congress is pretending not to know, but we know they are aware of it.”  The aide then promptly said, “Have a good afternoon” and moved to discontinue the call.  We wished her the same as we hung up.

In 2009, Blumenthal told this writer in a letter that a determination of Obama’s eligibility was “not important” after we wrote to his office as then-Connecticut attorney general.  He stated the same of Sen. John McCain, whose eligibility was also questioned because of his birth in Panama.

Obama’s long-form birth certificate and Selective Service registration form were declared “computer-generated forgeries” more than two years ago by the Maricopa County, AZ Cold Case Posse following a six-month criminal investigation.  That investigation, which is still ongoing, yielded a second investigation by Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who is readying to release what has been described as “beyond universe-shattering” on Tuesday by radio host and close follower of the posse’s work, Carl Gallups.

Three other U.S. senators who The Post & Email contacted on Friday about Obama’s fraudulent documentation have not responded.
