Stuter: A Question of Integrity
The following e-mail was sent to Glenn Beck on January 8, 2010.
Dear Mr Beck,
A colleague forwarded to me the following e-mail, received from you:

“Birthers Birthing
Just like the notorious ‘seminar callers’ Rush talks about, there is a new type of seminar caller out there trying to get on talk radio: the birther. Sure, there are plenty of idiots out there who actually think Barack Obama was not born in the United States and this is a way to get him impeached. But most reasonable people don’t believe that. It’s so ridiculous that it’s actually a good distraction for Obama, because it’s an easy win for him and distracts from the real issues. Is that why so many birthers seem to be on different talk shows lately?” Glenn explains. (Transcript, Insider Audio)
It is both shocking and appalling, Mr Beck, that you would write, much less send, something like this. That you apparently did is making scores of Americans question not only your veracity but also your integrity.
There is no issue more important to this nation than the question of Also Known As (AKA) Obama’s eligibility to the office he holds.
If, as the evidence more than adequately indicates, AKA is not eligible to the office he holds, the United States Constitution is in great peril as is every right guaranteed the people of this nation under that document, including your right of free speech under the First Amendment. Whether AKA legitimately holds the office of president is of paramount importance to every issue you address regarding his Marxist agenda.
You refer to the people gravely concerned by what, by all indications, is an egregious breach of our Constitution, as “birthers.”
But I ask you, can you prove, beyond reasonable doubt, that AKA is eligible to the office he holds?
Have you seen AKA’s actual birth certificate issued at the time of his birth? Have you? Because, if you have, you are the only one, besides AKA, who has seen it.
der Beckmeister - Constitutionalist or B.S.'er
AKA admits in his book, Dreams from my Father, that he found his actual birth certificate among papers in his maternal grandparents home, in Hawaii, when he lived with them. That being the case, Mr Beck, why the need to produce a laser printed document? Why not simply produce his actual birth certificate as John McCain did when his eligibility was questioned?
But we have seen the pictures of the Certification of Live Birth? That we have. And you know what, Mr Beck, they prove absolutely nothing. “Here officer, let me show you the picture I have of my drivers’ license; it is no doubt just as acceptable as my actual drivers’ license!”
I have to ask, have you actually seen the Certification of Live Birth that AKA has claimed is his birth certificate? No, I don’t mean pictures, I mean the actual document? If you haven’t, then how do you know it’s legit? In the day and age of PhotoShop, how do you know it wasn’t forged, especially in light of the fact that the digital files behind all those pictures on the internet show the pictures have been altered?
Don’t you find it rather odd that AKA has spent close to $2 million trying to keep his actual birth certificate, which he has, concealed while John McCain, when the question of eligibility arose, whipped his out for any and all to look at?
You’ve “spent minutes pondering that question”? Really? Does that have more to do with mental acuity or does it have more to do with the clown persona you seem to like to exude?
You have been quoted as saying that you believe those requesting that AKA produce his actual birth certificate are discrediting themselves. Really? On what do you base your assertion?
Do you base it on the fact that AKA has admitted he was a dual citizen at birth? A dual citizen is not natural-born. A natural born citizen is born of two American parents on American soil, a fact which AKA acknowledged when he became a co-sponsor of SR 511, passed by the Senate, and providing a “sense” of the Senate regarding John McCain’s eligibility.
While AKA may have been born on American soil, his father was a British subject. He is not natural-born and is not, therefore, eligible to the office of president under Article II, Section 1, Clause 5, United States Constitution.
What about that do you find so hard to comprehend?
That, above and beyond all your clueless comments and accusations, is the crux of the situation.
But there is more that does play into this matter beyond the dual citizenship. While it secondary to the fact of dual citizenship and ineligibility to the office of president, it is relevant to the matter.
How do you address the fact that when AKA claims he was born, there was a law in effect, in Hawaii, which allowed for the birth registration of foreign-born children? That law was not repealed until 1972. What this means, Mr Beck, is that until said time as AKA’s actual birth certificate, which he has, is produced and examined, where he was actually born is up for grabs. The claim that he was born in Honolulu, in the face of that law, means nothing.
If he was born outside the United States, there is no question that he is not eligible.
So, please, tell us on what you base your assertion? Or is the case more that you don’t want to be bothered by the facts?
You assert that AKA is an American. He may be an American but that does not equate to being natural born. But then, there has been no proof presented that he is an American, so your assertion is not based on fact.
There is yet more.
In Ann Soetoro v Lolo Soetoro, filed August 1980 when AKA was 19, it is stated that AKA is a “dependent [of the respondent, Lolo Soetoro] for the purposes of education.” How is it possible for AKA to be considered a legal dependent of Lolo Soetoro absent AKA being legally adopted by Lolo Soetoro? You are aware, are you not, of the registration of AKA at the Fransiskus Assisi Primary School in Jakarta, listing his name as Barry Soetoro and his citizenship as Indonesian? That registration is dated January 1, 1967.
Was AKA, at the age of 19, named as a dependent of Lolo Soetoro for the purposes of education, so he could obtain, as an Indonesian citizen, foreign student scholarships to Occidental? Is that why his Occidental records, Columbia records and Harvard records have all been sealed?
And this leads to another question.
If ever eligible to do so, where are the legal documents wherein AKA reclaimed his American citizenship at age 18, one year before he was listed as a dependent of Lolo Soetoro in the Soetoro divorce papers? Have you seen the legal documents where AKA reclaims his American citizenship? If you have, you would be the first because no one else has.
AKA pledged, while campaigning, to be transparent. That being the case, Mr Beck, why has AKA, as no other president before him, sealed every record that would divulge his past? If AKA has nothing to worry about, has nothing to hide, why has he deliberately sealed his past from public view?
You have claimed those who have addressed the eligibility issue are a bunch of “idiots” hatched by the AKA camp to sideline more important issues.
If there is an “idiot,” it’s definitely not those you erroneously call “birthers.”
There is no issue more important to the very documents on which this nation was founded, than the question of AKA’s eligibility to the office of president. If he is not our legitimate president, then every bill, every executive order, ever document he has signed is null and void, including the money appropriated to bail out his Wall Street buddies and benefactors.
And if he is not eligible to the office of president, a constitutional crisis exists.
You claim to stand for the Constitution. You rail against graft and corruption; against dishonesty in government; against the bureaucracy that spins the truth. Yet you believe that somehow, through all of that, and in the face of the evidence, the sealing of documents, the hiding of records, the scrubbing bubbles being applied to the internet to cleanse it of anything remotely connected to his past, that he is somehow telling the truth.
Are you really so naïve?
In the end, your vitriol aimed at those concerned that our constitution is being shredded really says more about you than about those you take aim at. If there is anyone doing the bidding of the AKA camp, it isn’t those concerned about a man sitting in the Oval Office, occupying the White House, who does so in violation of the United States Constitution, placing this nation in peril and endangering the rights of every American, you included.
If there is one issue that is more important than any other, it is the issue of AKA’s eligibility to the office he holds.
Only those augmenting AKA’s Marxist agenda are complicit in keeping the eligibility issue pushed under the rug.
Note: As of this posting, Glenn Beck has not responded; not that I expected he would. Has Glenn Beck been threatened if he speaks on the eligibility issue as other radio and television personalities have apparently been threatened? It would stand to reason that he has. It also stands to reason that the almighty dollar is much more important to Glenn Beck than what is right. And therein lies the problem most true patriots have with those who purport themselves to be leaders in the cause of liberty.
Postscript: The issue of the two social security numbers known to have been used by AKA, one issued in Connecticut, the other in Michigan, also play into the equation. If AKA is a legal citizen, why would he need to use social security numbers not issued to him?

Re: ” dozen lawmakers want proof of Obama eligibility”
This is a fine example of WND’s accuracy. If you read the article, the proposed legislation clearly does not apply to the current president but only to candidates in FUTURE presidential elections. They are not asking Obama to provide proof now that he is eligible, they are trying to create a law that would require future candidates (one of which may be Obama, to be sure) to provide proof that they are Natural Born Citizens.
It is interesting to note that there are no details about the proposed legislation. Would it be like the “Birther Bill” in Congress that merely seeks to prove that the candidate was born in the USA? Or, would it attempt to enforce the “two parents plus born in the country” rule that some birthers (and virtually no constitutional experts) allege? If the latter, would the marriage of the parents be sufficient, or would the candidate have to prove to the state by DNA that he or she is really the child of two US citizens?
Since the latter is controversial and the whole “two parents” approach also controversial, it is unlikely to pass. Which leaves us with the equivalent of the Birther Bill.
The Wall Street Journal has already commented about that: “Further, if Congress were to pass the so-called birther bill, Obama would be able to comply easily. The bill would require presidential campaigns to submit “a copy of the candidate’s birth certificate” to the Federal Election Commission. The certificate Obama has released publicly would meet this requirement.”
Jeff, trying to provide logical arguments and proof to Ann is like trying to shovel sand against the tide. An fruitless effort. That’s why I have turned to sarcasm. hb AARP 3%er!
3 dozen lawmakers want proof of Obama eligibility

Re: “Finally, if there is no truth to the question of Obama’s eligibility, then why have there been so many millions of dollars spent by him (or his handlers) to shut the story up?”
People can sue for any reason or no reason. We all have rights to sue. But because there have been many suits does not mean that even one of them is right. You could sue me for Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. Because you sue for it does not mean that I have it, but I do have to answer the lawsuit.
By far the bulk of birther lawsuits were filed before the election and tried to stop the election. If Obama had not fought these lawsuits, the election would have been stopped. That’s the way that it works. The same for all the lawsuits that tried to stop the Electoral College from voting, stop Congress from certifying the election or stop the Inauguration. There were a relatively small number of lawsuits after the Inauguration that asked for a grab-bag of documents including Obama’s kindergarten records and his housing records while he was in college. But these also included the allegation that even if he was not born in Hawaii, he still would not be eligible because his father was not a citizen. These ALSO cannot be for documents or for his birth certificate because they say that even with the documents, Obama would not be eligible. It is Obama’s right, and it is perfectly proper for Obama to fight these lawsuits.
The fact that he fights does not mean that he was born somewhere else than Hawaii.
Obama has shown the official birth certificate of Hawaii and the facts on it, that he was born in Hawaii, were confirmed twice by the officials in Hawaii, members of a Republican governor’s administration. They said quite clearly that the original records verify the posted official birth certificate and mean that Obama was born in Hawaii.
Good president or bad president (and I only said that he may turn out to be a bad president), he was born in Hawaii.
Re the three dozen? Where do you get this count?
The Wall Street Journal said: “Further, if Congress were to pass the so-called birther bill, Obama would be able to comply easily. The bill would require presidential campaigns to submit “a copy of the candidate’s birth certificate” to the Federal Election Commission. The certificate Obama has released publicly would meet this requirement.”
That is because the Certification of Live Birth is the official birth certificate of Hawaii.
Mr. Strauss,
First of all, I am glad to see that you have admitted that Obama is a “bad President,” although I personally do not believe that he what you say he is – the President. (http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=122432)
With all due respect, neither Obama nor the State of Hawaii has proven anything, as evidenced by the now 3 dozen legislators, who are also asking for the real proof (silenced by the MSM, of course).
The problem here, is that you HAVE bought into the possible lie, as perpetrated by the Lame-stream media, and completely ignored by the usurper himself. HE chooses to ignore the ongoing question and not address it, as opposed to bringing it to the forefront, and putting it to rest. His own wife, while on the campaign trail in EUROPE, stated that, “No law will prevent Obama from becoming President.”
It was once stated to me by a liberal attorney in Chapel Hill, North Carolina that, “There are many truths!”, to which I responded by saying, “No, there is only ONE truth, but many interpretations of it.”
Finally, if there is no truth to the question of Obama’s eligibility, then why have there been so many millions of dollars spent by him (or his handlers) to shut the story up?
Re: “I just read one of the worlds shortest books.”
Amusing, but irrelevant to the issue of Obama’s eligibility. I am willing to concede that he may be a bad president. We have had lots of bad presidents.
But Obama was and is eligible to be president because he has proved that he was born in Hawaii, which falls under the original meaning of Natural Born Citizen.
Hey Ann! I just read one of the worlds shortest books *All Of The Things I Did To Deserve The Nobel Peace Prize.* By AKA Barack H. Obama hb AARP 3%er!
Re: “Do not get into a battle of wits with the Granny.”
If what you say is right, she will cite the facts. The facts and only the facts are what will convince people. The facts are that Obama was born in Hawaii as his official birth certificate from Hawaii shows, and the facts on the birth certificate were twice confirmed by the officials in Hawaii.
Be very careful Ann! Do not get into a battle of wits with the Granny. You are sorely lacking in ammunition. hb AARP 3%er!
HI Granny!
Why not discuss the facts? Calling names will not convince anyone.
“Toot Sweet Granny!” Yes indeed. hb AARP 3%er!
I am sure that if someone served you up a bowl of PUKE and all the same sources you reference said that PUKE was nutritious soup – you would slurp it down in the same manner you are slurping down the lies about the phoney who sits in our White House.
I, however, am a whole lot more particular about what I swallow or even put in my mouth.
You are free to swallow all the PUKE you wish and I hope you swallow it all. It is going to be pure entertainment as many of us watch you vomit it back up when the truth can no longer be denied by all you worshipers of the Foreign ILLEGAL.
Bon Appetite!!!!

Re: “smrstrauss’ is a member of the TestTickle class…”
Why not discuss the facts and the law? You will convince more people.
You have a lot of people to convince. Obama won the election 69 million to 59 million. He won 365 Electoral College votes, a significant majority. Birthers tried in a letter/e-mail campaign to the electors to have them change their votes; not one did. Birthers tried to get members of Congress to vote against Obama because of the allegations you raise; not one did. Obama’s election was confirmed unanimously.
The computer-generated certification that you refer to is now the official birth certificate of Hawaii. Hawaii is like many other states that now issue only a computer-generated, short form birth certificate. But it is the official birth certificate. As the Wall Street Journal said: “Obama has already provided a legal birth certificate demonstrating that he was born in Hawaii. No one has produced any serious evidence to the contrary. Absent such evidence, it is unreasonable to deny that Obama has met the burden of proof. We know that he was born in Honolulu as surely as we know that Bill Clinton was born in Hope, Ark., or George W. Bush in New Haven, Conn.”
I have come to the conclusion that “smrstrauss’ is a member of the TestTickle class – those NEUTERED beings who have been told they are wise and all knowing about things they know nothing about.
They are as much in DENIAL about their political knowledge as they are their sexuality. which is why they are members of the TestTickle class – they have no Testicles.
They use fur boards to get their jollies and call it sex.
They try to use computer generated certifications of live birth and make the rest of use believe it is a birth certificate.
tsk tsk tsk – poor things – one has to have pity on such mindless beings. They are only good for stirring pots as directed by their masters.
Re: “Congress forced John McCain to provide all his pertinent information, which he did.”
Show an article in which the Senate or a committee asked McCain to show anything. Or show an article in which McCain’s birth certificate is being presented to the Senate or to a committee.
There is no such article. The Senate did not check out the facts. It simply took McCain’s word.
But whether or not McCain was eligible does not make Obama NOT eligible. Obama is eligible because of his place of birth, which was Hawaii.
Obama showed the official birth certificate of Hawaii, the facts on which were twice confirmed by the officials in Hawaii, members of a Republican Governor’s administration.
amrstrauss AKA:Ann….You are a liar and an idiot. Congress forced John McCain to provide all his pertinent information, which he did. Also, his father at the time was an officer in the US Navy and his mother was an American citizen of Majority age when he was born. Big difference from Obama’s case. Please do your research in the future, before inserting your foot in your mouth. hb
So maybe the Brit, Neil Sankey can succeed where the Russian immigrant (from the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic) has failed, bring it on.
Poor little Birthers (still in denial about their losses), Judge Land and now judge Carter, smack down the crazies (case dismissed).
Not even “Fake News” Glenn Beck or Bill O’Reilly believes the crazies, how funny.

http://tesibria.typepad.com/whats_your_evidence/BIRTHER%20CASE%20LIST.pdf
To all the birthers in La, La Land, it is on you to prove to all of us that your assertion is true (TOUGH WHEN YOU KEEP LOSING CASES), if there are people who were there and support your position then show us the video (everyone has a price), either put up or frankly shut-up. I heard Orly Taitz, is selling a tape (I think it’s called “Money, Lies and Video tape”). She is from Orange County, CA, now I know what the mean when they say “behind the Orange Curtain”, when they talk about Orange County, the captial of Conspiracy Theories. You know Obama has a passport, he travel abroad before he was a Senator, but I guess they were in on it.
In my opinion the Republican Party has been taken over the most extreme religious right (people who love to push their beliefs on others while trying to take away the rights of those they just hate) and that’s who they need to extract from their party if they real want to win. Good Luck, because as they said in WACO, “We Ain’t Coming Out”.
I wonder if she is a mail order bride, just like her law degree? She is perfect reporter material for “Fake News”, where unfounded rumors and innuendo reign supreme , unlike a our US courts of law, where you need to present documented facts, not half baked lies (prepare for more failures).
A lawyer, dentist, realtor and black belt, WOW I must say a JACK of all trades master of none
I heard that she now wants to investigate the “Republican 2009 Summer of Love” list: Assemblyman, Michael D. Duvall (CA), Senator John Ensign (NV), Senator Paul Stanley (TN), Governor Mark Stanford (SC), Board of Ed Chair, and Kristin Maguire AKA Bridget Keeney (SC). She wants to re-establish a family values party.
I can only hope that Taitz will resist the state collectors that will be hounding her like the “ruff ruff” that she is to collect the $20K.
First, McCain never published his birth certificate. The one that is on line was never posted on his campaign’s Web site or issued by him. It is a forgery. McCain says in his book that he was born at the family hospital on the Naval Base in the Canal Zone. The published “certificate” says that he was born at Colon Hospital, which is outside of the Canal Zone.
Second, the Certification of Live Birth that Obama has posted is the official birth certificate of Hawaii, and the only one that Hawaii currently sends out (http://www.starbulletin.com/columnists/kokualine/20090606_kokua_line.html). That being the case, it is the only one that Obama can show. Yes, he HAD his birth certificate, a long time ago when he was a child. Since then, it most likely was lost–as many of us lose our original birth certificates. In any case, Obama asked Hawaii for his birth certificate in 2007, and they sent him the official birth certificate of Hawaii, the laser-printed COLB, which is what they send to everyone.
The original is still in the file, though they do not send it out any more. The officials in Hawaii, members of a Republican governor’s administration, have twice said that the facts on the document in the files confirms the facts on the Certification of Live Birth, that Obama was born in Hawaii. And, there is even a witness, who recalls being told of his birth in Hawaii in 1961 (because she wrote home about the birth to a woman named Stanley to her father, also named Stanley. http://www.buffalonews.com/494/story/554495.html)
