Elections - Serious Food for Thought on Presidential Eligibility

I realize it has been some time since I have posted anything on my blog. yet I am still involved and researching many things and ideas.. I also actively work on behalf of injured veterans who are applying for benefits to which they are justly entitled.. Unlike the local County Veteran's Service Officers who just fill out forms, I proactively build an individuals case based on service records, the veteran's statement of events and supporting affidavits from those who know of the incident or 'changes' in the veteran.

I use this same methodology to interpret information which is being conversed about amongst the many bloggers and political activist organizations that abound since the advent of internet connectivity... thus I have been following the debate on the eligibility issue with serious concern. The following is my consensus of the issue and questions which I strongly feel need to be answered with verified documentation

First off, Obama HAS @ MINIMUM - A DUAL CITIZENSHIP -- this CAN NOT be denied... his mother was an American Citizen, even though she may have been 17 at the time of his birth, the fact of her marriage to Obama Sr. gave her status as a citizen who has attained the age of majority... this is not only Common Law but Statute Law in many states.
Two - Obama Sr was never a US resident alien let alone a naturalized citizen, his presence in the US was by virtue of a STUDENT VISA. Thus being a person from Kenya. which was at the time of his birth a colony of the British Crown, automatically gave him citizenship in Great Britain which he imparted at birth to his son.. this also sets up a legal precedent which disqualifies any of his children from holding any public office above that of US Senator by virtue of the US Constitution and a SCOTUS decision circa 1920 which stated both parents had to be US Citizens or a US Citizen and a resident alien of at least 5 years on path to naturalization for a child of the union to be considered 'Natural Born'..
Three - documented and verified proof of his being adopted by Sotoaro from Indonesia would nullify ANY U.S, CITIZENSHIP since a minor child assumes the nationality and citizenship of the parents. [Legal Rules and Procedure 101]

Occidental College Transcripts Reveals Obama Claimed Foreign Citizenship to get Scholarship

Article addresses many of the unanswered questions about the validity of his eligibility to hold the office of President of the United States which are all based in legal precedent and rule of law.. whether this is truthful or an urban legend, the fact is Obama has spent thousands of dollars to sequester ALL his personal information about his past.. why would a person do this unless he has something serious to hide..

Obama-eligibility doubts cost paper’s endorsement
What else you don’t know about Obama boyhood

there is SOOOO MUCH DEBATE over this issue .. any common sense person would question whether there is truth to the smoke and fires being stirred up.. and how much is true..

Is this the case that will break the presidential eligibility question wide open? The Supreme Court conferred today on whether arguments should be heard on the ...

I found this very humorous!!!..

First President to repeat what the Qur’an tells us, and openly admit the early morning call of the Azan (Islamic call to worship) is the most beautiful sound on earth.

Over all; I still have unanswered questions on this issue.. particularly being that of verified documentation..

Being from the Vietnam Era Generation, I do not doubt the corruption and secrecy of our governmental structure of which a proportion is necessary to maintain the security of our citizens.. BUT when it comes to principals, ethics and truth concerning our political leaders, I am of the 'greatest generation' school of thought,

WHERE THERE IS SMOKE, GENERALLY A FIRE EXISTS!! how else would you have smoke??

SO,
Why won't main stream media investigate this issue just like they would a sordid tale of infidelity concerning a movie star??
Why won't the GOP and conservative Democrats, dig into this 'political dirt'?? is it because too many people are involved who stand to be politically 'soiled'

Every State Constitution has provisions in it which requires the primary Election Officer to VERIFY the credentials and eligibility of all candidates whose names are allowed to be place on the State wide ballot and in may States, a provision is provided by which ANY citizen voter can challenge the placement of such names on the ballot which has been happening in many States this election cycle,

Every Citizen Voter needs to analyze all the information availableto make an informed decision about the upcoming election...

I, for one am very saddened the American citizen voters do not have a better selection /choices for our upcoming general election in November whether it be on a local, State or National level. Many of the brightest and best leaders have been sickened by the gangster mentality partisanship which now exists in politics.

OUR cumulative personal rights and freedoms are under assault!! Many of us are sooo busy trying to just survive we are relinquishing many of the rights and privileges GUARANTEED under the US Constitution and Bill of Rights to an omnipotent 'higher power' either the State or Federal Government in a 'nanny State' mentality... The Citizens of this country ARE the government!! So why are we allowing our rights and privileges to be eroded?? Voting is the way we express our collective conscience .. voting for the 'acceptable' condidate is watering down our voting power, voting for the media supported candidate is doing the same thing.
1 person, 1 vote may not seem like much but collectively they express the CONSCIENCE AND WILL OF THE PEOPLE!!

Gun Microstamping Study Bill Introduced in U.S. House

take a close look at the Sponsors of this Legislation..

Dan Boren of Oklahoma and John Boozman of Arkansas..

Gun Microstamping Study Bill Introduced in U.S. House
Opinion by National Shooting Sports Foundation
(July 07, 2010) in Society / Guns

U.S. Congressman Dan Boren introduced legislation this week (H.R. 5667) to direct the U.S. Attorney General to work with the National Academy of Sciences to conduct a comprehensive study of firearm microstamping. NSSF supports this bipartisan legislation as a means of ensuring adequate research of microstamping is completed, and the concept is proven to work reliably, prior to states mandating microstamping through the legislative process.

Firearms microstamping is a patented process that laser engraves the firearm's make, model and serial number on the tip of the gun's firing pin so that, in theory, it imprints the information on discharged cartridge cases. Every independent study to examine the concept of microstamping has determined that it does not function reliably and is flawed.

NSSF thanks Rep. Boren (D – Okla.) for sponsoring this bill and Reps. Broun (R-Ga.), Bishop (R-Utah), Herseth Sandlin (D-SD), Altmire (D-Pa.), Miller (R-Fl.) and Boozman (R- Ark.) for co-sponsoring this commonsense measure.
To learn more about firearms microstamping, please visit the NSSF Microstamping Fact Sheet.

How is this common sense??. when it has been technically PROVEN this is unreliable at best .. and has far reaching implications in Constitutionality?? not to mention potential wrongful prosecution .. the unintended consequences of this legislation are far reaching and endlesss...

Guns & Ammo DO NOT KILL!! guns and ammo do not have a conscience, only when engaged with a human behind these inanimate objects who loads the ammo and then makes the choice to use the gun does it become an active means to kill,

To control the population, the government only needs to control education, guns and social benefits!!

Beware of RINO 'Conservatives' bearing gifts..

Arkansas, is this the person you want to continue to represent you in the US Senate..

Subject: Maxine on the Federal Government

Subject: Maxine -

Let me get this straight. We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase

and fined if we don't,

written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it,

passed by a Congress that hasn't read it

but exempts themselves from it,

to be signed by a president who also smokes,

with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes,

to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese,

and financed by a country that's broke.

What the @#$% could possibly go wrong?

Mchugh Strengthens Arlington National Cemetery Management, Oversight

FORMER SENATORS DOLE, CLELAND WILL LEAD INDEPENDENT PANEL
                Secretary of the Army John McHugh today announced sweeping changes in the management and oversight of Arlington National Cemetery (ANC) following completion of a months-long probe by the Army's Inspector General.
                 "While the Inspector General's (IG) team found that ANC employees – under an extraordinarily high operational tempo of 27 to 30 funerals a day – performed their jobs with dedication and to a high professional standard, they also found them hampered by dysfunctional management, the lack of established policy and procedures, and an overall unhealthy organizational climate," McHugh said. "That ends today."
                 McHugh ordered the investigation following allegations of lost accountability of some graves and poor record keeping, among other issues. The Army released its investigation findings at a Pentagon news conference today. The investigation followed an earlier inspection and management review ordered by McHugh's predecessor, former Army Secretary Pete Geren, which McHugh expanded shortly after taking office. Those findings were also released today.
                 "Both reports pointed to the lack of established policies and procedures, a failure to automate records, and long-term systemic problems," he said.
                 As part of a series of corrective measures, McHugh established the newly-created position of Executive Director (ED) of the Army National Cemeteries Program, whose duties will include oversight of cemetery management, reviewing and updating policies and procedures, and implementing corrective measures outlined in the investigation and inspection reports. McHugh appointed Kathryn Condon to serve as ED. Condon previously served as the senior civilian for Army Materiel Command - overseeing one of the largest commands in the Army, with more than 60,000 employees in 149 locations worldwide.
                 Among a host of other changes and initiatives, McHugh is establishing an Army National Cemeteries Advisory Commission, which will include officials from outside the Army to regularly review policies and procedures, and provide additional guidance and support.   McHugh has enlisted the services of former senators and Army veterans Max Cleland and Bob Dole to begin that effort.
                 Dole represented Kansas in the Senate for three decades, and in 2007 co-chaired a commission investigating deficiencies at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.   In addition to serving as senator from Georgia, Cleland is a former head of the Department of Veterans Affairs and currently serves as secretary of the American Battle Monuments Commission, which oversees American burial grounds in foreign countries, including the American cemetery and memorial in Normandy, France. Both are decorated Army veterans.
                 ANC Superintendent John Metzler Jr., will remain in his post supporting funerals and ceremonial activities until July 2 - when he retires from federal service. However, Metzler will now report directly to the new executive director, and has received a letter of reprimand from McHugh based on the IG's findings.
                 At McHugh's request, Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki is providing a detailee while the Army conducts a nationwide search for a new superintendent.
                 Patrick K. Hallinan, director of the Office of Field Programs for the VA, who is responsible for the development and implementation of National Cemetery Policy, will be temporarily reassigned to ANC as its superintendent.   Hallinan has more than 31 years of cemetery service, and currently has oversight responsibilities for 130 national cemeteries.
                 The cemetery's deputy superintendent was placed on administrative leave pending a disciplinary review in the wake of the findings.
                 "Arlington National Cemetery is the place where valor rests, a place of reverence and respect for all Americans," McHugh said. "The Army recognizes its sacred responsibility to ensure America's confidence in the operation of its most hallowed ground, and to the heroes for whom this is their final resting place. I believe these changes will do just that."
                 In addition to Arlington National Cemetery, the Army National Cemeteries Program includes the Soldiers' and Airmen's Home National Cemetery in Washington, DC.
                 The IG's report and other documents are located on the Web at http://www.army.mil/arlington.

Obama administration extremely dangerous to our Constitution, Bill of Rights and overall Republican Democracy

This is how dangerous this administration is to our Constitution, Bill of Rights and overall Republican Democracy!!

You may recall sometime back I published a list of the Obama Czars, which are a unelected and unwanted shadow government attempting to control most governmental functions from the Executive Branch of Government, bypassing the legislative process if they do not like or condone what our elected Representatives and Senators have agreed upon as Law,..
RE: the recent EPA regulatory determination is an example declaring Carbon Dioxide [CO2] which plants need to live, a greenhouse gas.. when this is not the major problem as far as air pollution goes!! this is just a cover to be able to foist a form of 'cap & tax' on us!!

NOW, take time to read what Cass Sunstein, Van Jones and others are verbalizing we should do concerning our form of government...

I believe this is just the tip of the Titanic Iceberg!!

If this does not infuriate you, I do not know what will,, any real American should be completely up in arms over these positions which fly in the face of all we have struggled to maintain and preserve for the future generations to come..

John Timothy Griffin - US Congressional Candidate - AR Dist. 2 - the Good, Bad, UGLY and LIES

The long and short of it - I AM a loyal, 4th generation Arkansawyer, I have strong conservative values, based in Christian morals and ethics nurtured of this country, so much so that I can not stand a manipulative liar, Tim Griffin in this case is such a person.

I have a deep understanding Arkansas politics and the Arkansas people because of family roots, deeply embedded in Arkansas soil,.... niece of the Late Senator John L. McClellan

I despise those who USE their military service as a ' notch ' on their resume because I am a veteran and former Military wife, I despise those who use good 'salt of the earth' ppl for personal gain,..  I have many reasons for which I am more than happy to supply you, the people of Arkansas, with what I had found about John Tim Griffin, ..

It is my sincere hope that you, the voters of Arkansas, upon reading this information, will utilize this information to the maximum ... Hopefully, running this Washington Inside 'Carpetbagger' out of town on a rail ..

denying him his most sought after feather in his cap..  a seat in the US House of Representatives

Arkansas does not need him to be a representative..  I believe him to be a Carpetbagger, sent to us for one reason only, to become a Congressional Representative for Arkansas just like many of these outsiders did after the Civil War during Re-Construction,

WE are not illiterate nor lacking in intelligence, we may be in some cases lacking in formal education but that can not offset the common sense exercised by most people of Arkansas,..

Think about this saying by our older generations, "where there's smoke there's fire" meaning when a person denies a wrong doing to strongly, it usually will be an indication of just how guilty the person is..

His [Tim Griffin] repetitive denial of the actions and these articles which strongly pointed to the facts of his being up to his elbows in these shenanigans hook, line and sinker!!

 
Strangely enough he claims his campaign funds have come from within Arkansas but according to his FEC filings of which I hold copies downloaded from the FEC WEBSITE, a goodly portion of his funds have been garnered from the two special fundraising events hosted be Washington insiders, on being held in Little Rock in December, one in Washington, DC in Jan. and the other in February in Little Rock by Rep. John Boehner, GOP Minority Leader, Rep. Jim DeMint, and Rep. Pete Sessions, the Chairman of the National Republican Congressional Caucus, from PAC"S and big money donors mostly from without the 2nd District State of Arkansas, Murphy Oil and their executives, Wal-mart & Executives, Arvest, big oil companies in Texas and so on,.. giving not just for the primary but for the general election as well, assuming he would automatically win the primary!!

Congressional Candidate, Tim Griffin's latest "brag"

It has been my experience with information coming out of the Tim Griffin Campaign Camp, is to put a positive 'spin' on all information this candidate wants to put forward concerning why he should be the Republican Candidate of choice! This information is full of innuendo and half truths.. only telling you the part of the story he wants you to know..

His claim of winning the Debate is an extreme exaggeration of the truth.. considering no judges were present and this debate was mainly for the benefit of the group who sponsored the debate!!

The following is a very good example of this 'spinning' of information to present him is a positive light.. It is this person belief, if the citizens of the 2nd Congressional District were presented with the complete story about Tim Griffin they would have deep second thoughts about his ethics, principals and reliability to represent the people of Arkansas. Every bit of evidence I have uncovered which Main Stream Media is unwilling to bring to the forefront, screams he is ALL ABOUT THE WASHINGTON INSIDER POLITICS!!

Release published by arkansasnews.com By Rob Moritz

it highlights points of similar views by both candidates

LITTLE ROCK — Two candidates with similar views on the issues tried to distinguish themselves in other ways Wednesday during a debate between Republican hopefuls for the party’s 2nd District congressional nomination

yet from a Griffin press release:

Calls President’s policies a ‘misplaced reliance on government’

drawing a sharp contrast between himself and his opponent in the May 18 Republican Primary.

from the article

Griffin was born in North Carolina, raised in Magnolia and spent years as a GOP operative in Washington, D.C. A protégé of Karl Rove, former top adviser to then-President George W. Bush, Griffin noted he has settled down in Little Rock to raise a family and run his law firm.

He defended his work in Washington, calling it a “great experience,” but said he is ready to work to defend the rights of Arkansans.

“No one hand-picked me.” Griffin said. “I think that the folks who want to win, they look around and they see which candidates can win. They understand … you need a well-organized and well-funded campaign. If you want a radical departure from the past, that means you need a well-funded campaign to defeat the Democrats.”

the very opposite is actually the truth.. you do not need a 'well funded' campaign to make an impact or win, many examples of this exist in several States, including one in Arkansas, that of Jim Holt against Blanche Lincoln just 6 years ago who on a very slim campaign budget won 44% of the vote, a David against Goliath story... and a true grassroots epic

to find out more about his 'work' in DC, read the following previous post..

John Timothy Griffin - US Congressional Candidate for AR Dist. 2 - the Good, Bad, UGLY and LIES

this post highlights articles by investigative reporters who are not afraid to tell the truth...

HIS Claim

his campaign has the grassroots and financial support to win in 2010.

“Our campaign has earned the financial support of hundreds of Arkansans, the grassroots support of those in the Tea Party movement and national recognition as one of the best opportunities to turn a Democratic seat into a conservative one,” Griffin said.

His grassroots financial support comes from people such as the Walton Family members of Wal-mart Fame, Murphy Oil and their management employees, Oil companies whose headquarters are in Texas, Many contributions from Washington Lobby groups, media firms, legal firms, political advisement firms, the majority of in State financial contributions are not from within the 2nd District but from the major companies of Arkansas, a full 1/3 of his money has come from Political Action Committees,.. with persons not only donating for the primary but assuming he will need support for the general election as well..
What he has not told everyone who is following his campaign is that the numbers he is 'bragging' about are not truthful,.. he is not talking about how much of this money he has spent on outside Arkansas consulting, how much has been spent on buying office help,.. on how much was spent on media .. he is spending about as much as he is taking in... in essence BUYING the election..
[the above information is taken from his FEC filings],

My assessment of the names of the donors from this FEC filling is a list of names which come straight from former contributors to Vic Snyder's previous campaigns, a list this writer gathered and supplied to David Meeks!!

I find it very strange his claim of grassroots when Griffin has been the recipient of 3 fundraising campaigns from Washington insiders,.. one was held in Dec. in Little Rock at $250.00 a plate, 2nd in Jan in Washington, 3rd held February in Little Rock by members of the NRCC.. if this does not point to 'hand picked' then I do not understand the term,..

I also find exceedingly strange an endorsement has come from David Meeks who previously 'bad mouthed' Griffin as a Washington insider and a person who was playing exactly by the Karl Rove play book!!
I find it strange how Griffin 'decided' to settle in Little Rock after the Senate Judiciary Committee would not confirm his appointment to the US Attorney General's position,.. this smacks of carpetbag planning to challenge Vic Snyder for the Congressional Seat,...
It is also 'strange' Griffin did not become a Republican Party member until 2006.

support of those in the Tea Party movement

This statement truly puzzles me since I am in touch with many of Arkansas' Tea Party persons,,, most of those I have talked to are quite concerned about his close connections with Washington DC, many of which are in the 2nd Congressional District

in his bio he highlights being a 5th Generation Arkansan,.. well considering he was not born in this State brings to question if he will exaggerate this point, how many more facts has he been less than truthful about..

Let me itemize:

his legal prosecutory record with the military, refuted by a PAO officer from Army records
his time in Iraq - just long enough to be awarded the campaign medal
his down playing of his involvement in the vote caging incident in Florida which disenfranchised blacks and military
his appointment to the US Attorney's position for the Eastern District of Arkansas - which was a payoff for his participation in Karl Rove Schemes

this is a short list, reading supportive information will open a voters eyes as to the truth about Candidate Griffin!!

I challenge everyone in the 2nd District to take a closer look at Candidate Griffin because all is not as it seems... he is a RINO and playing the game of 'tell them what they want to hear' just like Blanche Lincoln, Mark Pryor, Marion Berry and so many other Democzarts masquerading as conservative..

Taking a long second look beyond the pretty surface, this is what an earnest, concerned voter needs to and should do to insure they have chosen the proper candidate to represent their interests in Washington DC,.. I also think it speaks mountains when you look at who has endorsed which candidate.. John Paul Hammerschmidt has an untarnished reputation for ethics and principals, putting Arkansas first ahead of his own financial interests. I have personal knowledge along with a strong respect for this person for over 50 years!
