A hell of a great story.....
ST. LOUIS (AP) - A doctor once told Albert Brown he shouldn't expect to make it to 50, given the toll taken by his years in a Japanese labor camp during World War II and the infamous, often-deadly march that got him there. But the former dentist made it to 105, embodying the power of a positive spirit in the face of inordinate odds.
"Doc" Brown was nearly 40 in 1942 when he endured the Bataan Death March, a harrowing 65-mile trek in which 78,000 prisoners of war were forced to walk from Bataan province near Manila to a Japanese POW camp. As many as 11,000 died along the way. Many were denied food, water and medical care, and those who stumbled or fell during the scorching journey through Philippine jungles were stabbed, shot or beheaded.
But Brown survived and secretly documented it all, using a nub of a pencil to scrawl details into a tiny tablet he concealed in the lining of his canvas bag. He often wondered why captives so much younger and stro nger perished, while he went on.
By the time he died Sunday at a nursing home in southern Illinois' Nashville, Brown's story was well-chronicled, by one author's account offering an encouraging road map for veterans recovering from their own wounds in many wars.
"Doc's story had as much relevance for today's wounded warriors as it did for the veterans of his own era," said Kevin Moore, co-author of the recently released "Forsaken Heroes of the Pacific War: One Man's True Story," which details Brown's experience.
"The underlying message for today's returning veterans is that there's hope, not to give in no matter how bleak the moment may seem," added Moore, whose nephew just returned from military duty in Afghanistan. "You will persevere and can find the promise of a new tomorrow, much like Doc had found."
Brown, recognized in 2007 at an annual convention of Bataan survivors as the oldest one still living, couldn't muster the strength to talk about his experiences until about 15 or so years ago, said his granddaughter, Susan Engelhardt of Pinckneyville, Ill.
"I'm not a big military buff at all. But just reading the story about the death march and the situation in the Philippines, it's an incredible story. And incredibly sad," Engelhardt said. "He's an incredible man, and he had an incredible legacy. He came through horrible times and came out on top, rebuilding his life. But so many of those men and women triumphed."
Brown's account described the torment that came about every mile as the marchers passed wells U.S. troops dug for natives but weren't allowed to drink from once they became prisoners. Filipinos who tried to throw fruit to the marchers frequently were killed.
Brown remained in a POW camp from early 1942 until mid-September 1945, living solely on rice. The once-athletic man - he lettered in baseball, football, basketball and track in high school - saw his weight whither by some 80 pounds to less than 100 by the time he was freed. Lice and disease were rampant.
Despite the hardships, Brown focused on bright spots, including a prisoner called on to fix Japanese soldiers' radios. The prisoner managed to steal radio parts, scraping together enough components to build a functioning unit of his own. Brown helped craft a listening tube for the device, which brought the captives news from San Francisco that the U.S. actually had won a battle the Japanese soldiers were celebrating as a naval victory.
"He had this incredible spirit to live and overcome," Moore said. "Positive thinking or whatever you call it, he survived."
Born in 1905 in North Platte, Neb., Brown was the godson of Wild West folk hero "Buffalo Bill" Cody, who often let the boy sit on his lap and tug his beard. Brown moved with his family to Council Bluffs, Iowa, after his father - a railroad engineer - died when a locomotive engine exploded.
He studied dentistry at Creighton University in the 1920s and was called to active duty in 1937, leaving behind a wife, children and a decade-old dental practice his war injuries prevented him from resuming.
By the time the war ended in 1945, the 40-year-old Brown was nearly blind, had weathered a broken back and neck and suffered through more than a dozen diseases including malaria, dysentery and dengue fever.
He took two years to mend, and a doctor told him to enjoy the next few years because he had been so decimated he would be dead by 50. But Brown soldiered on, moving to California, attending college again and renting out properties to the era's biggest Hollywood stars, including Joan Fontaine and Olivia de Havilland. He became friends with John Wayne and Roy Rogers, doing some screen tests along the way.
"I think he had seen so much horror that after the way, he was determined to enjoy his life," Moore said.
Most States have WAY too many Legislators, too.
Know waht I think?? SERIOUSLY!! We should cut back by at least half on the Congresmen in the USA. We have at least twice as many as we need.
All or most of them vote as they are told, in exchange for so called PORK money to take back home and brag about. THEY SELL THEIR VOTE FOR PORK!!
They have one and ONLY one concern. GET REELECTED!!
Never again will they find a job as good as the one they have...
To add insult to injury, all of them have staffs... and hire their KIN and PALS to eat outa the Public TRough, too.
Thanks to a poster named HARRY, AKA INET for that one.
Good on you, INET!!!!!
Remins me of the Churhy Lady that amen-ed the preacher as he ranted against adultry, stealing, drinking, cussing, blaspheming and even fornication!! Then added smoking and terbaccy chawing. Amens got a bit weaker..but then he added snuff dipping.
Most Country women dipped snuff back in those days, and our amen Lady was not an exception!!
So up she got, red-faced with anger, and shouted "PREACHER, YOU DONE QUIT PREACHING AND GONE TO MEDDLING NOW!!"
Our Montana fellow is a typical "CONSERVATIVE" voter. He is for his Senator..up until the Gude Senator messes with HIS benefits!!
A MONTANA LAMENT..and he ain't but 62.. I bet he voted for the Rascal, too!!
Although the language is a little strong, this unidentified citizen says what many of us would like to say. I checked it out on Snopes.com.(SENDER, NOT ME) It's true except that Alan Simpson was only in Congress for 19 years. How can any politician call us greedy????
THIS SENIOR CITIZEN NAILED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alan Simpson, Senator from Wyoming , Co-Chair of Obama's deficit
commission, calls senior citizens the Greediest Generation as he
compared "Social Security" to a Milk Cow with 310 million teats.
August, 2010.
Here's a response in a letter from an unknown fellow in Montana ...
I think he is a little ticked off! He also tells it like it is !
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey Alan, let's get a few things straight..
1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole for FIFTY
YEARS.
2. I have been paying Social Security taxes for 48 YEARS (since I was 15 years old. I am now 63).
3 My Social Security payments, and those of millions of other
Americans, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for
decades until you political pukes decided to raid the account and give
OUR money to a bunch of zero ambition losers in return for votes, thus
bankrupting the system and turning Social Security into a Ponzi scheme
that would have made Bernie Madoff proud.
4. Recently, just like Lucy & Charlie Brown, you and your ilk pulled the proverbial football away from millions of American seniors nearing
retirement and moved the goalposts for full retirement from age 65 to
age 67. NOW, you and your shill commission is proposing to move the
goalposts YET AGAIN.
5 I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying into Medicare
from Day One, and now you morons propose to change the rules of the
game. Why? Because you idiots mismanaged other parts of the economy to such an extent that you need to steal money from Medicare to pay the bills.
6. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying income taxes our entire lives, and now you propose to increase our taxes yet again. Why? Because you incompetent ######## spent our money so profligately that you just kept on spending even after you ran out of money. Now, you come to the American taxpayers and say you need more to pay off YOUR debt.
To add insult to injury, you label us "greedy" for calling "########" on your incompetence. Well, Captain ########, I have a few questions for YOU.
1. How much money have you earned from the American taxpayers during your pathetic 50-year political career?
2. At what age did you retire from your pathetic political career, and
how much are you receiving in annual retirement benefits from the
American taxpayers?
3. How much do you pay for YOUR government provided health insurance?
4. What cuts in YOUR retirement and healthcare benefits are you
proposing in your disgusting deficit reduction proposal, or, as usual,
have you exempted yourself and your political cronies?
It is you, Captain ########, and your political co-conspirators called Congress who are the "greedy" ones. It is you and your fellow nutcases who have bankrupted America and stolen the American dream from millions of loyal, patriotic taxpayers. And for what? Votes. That's right,sir. You and yours have bankrupted America for the sole purpose of advancing your pathetic political careers. You know it, we know it, and you know that we know it.
And you can take that to the bank, you miserable son of a #####.
If you like the way things are in America , delete this. If you agree with what a fellow Montana citizen says, PASS IT ON!!!
Re EL RUSH BOHEEKUS...
That fat sumbich thinks that NIXON was President just after Kennedy and ergo deserves partial credit for the successful MOON landings. Never heard of Lyndon, huh??
I wonder whose in the hell side he is on. Trying his best to criminalize the President, and even worse, the Presidents team for the takedown of the worlds worst criminal since Hitler and his bunch.
If I was not a firm believer in free speech, I would say arrest him, Sean and Drudge and imprison the whole damn crew on Gitmo with the others.
ANOTHER BY FOSTER AND SANG BY BING CROSBY IN 1949
Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair
I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair,
Borne, like a vapor, on the summer air;
I see her tripping where the bright streams play,
Happy as the daisies that dance on her way.
Many were the wild notes her merry voice would pour.
Many were the blithe birds that warbled them o'er:
Oh! I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair,
Floating, like a vapor, on the soft summer air.
I long for Jeanie with the day dawn smile,
Radiant in gladness, warm with winning guile;
I hear her melodies, like joys gone by,
Sighing round my heart o'er the fond hopes that die:
Sighing like the night wind and sobbing like the rain,
Wailing for the lost one that comes not again:
Oh! I long for Jeanie, and my heart bows low,
Never more to find her where the bright waters flow.
I sigh for Jeanie, but her light form strayed
Far from the fond hearts round her native glad;
Her smiles have vanished and her sweet songs flown,
Flitting like the dreams that have cheered us and gone.
Now the nodding wild flowers may wither on the shore
While her gentle fingers will cull them not more:
Oh! I sigh for Jeanie with the light brown hair,
Floating like a vapor, on the soft summer air.
AND YET ANOTHER FAVORITE SANG BY MANY...
Jenny Kissed Me
by Leigh Hunt
Jenny kissed me when we met,
Jumping from the chair she sat in.
Time, you thief! who love to get
Sweets into your list, put that in.
Say I'm weary, say I'm sad;
Say that health and wealth have missed me;
Say I'm growing old, but add-
Jenny kissed me!
A FAVORITE POEM AND SONG OF MINE FROM STEPHEN FOSTER...ESPECIALLY AS SANG BY BING CROSBY CIRCA 1949
Sweetly She Sleeps, My Alice Fair
Sweetly she sleeps, my Alice fair,
Her cheek on the pillow pressed,
Sweetly she sleeps, while her Saxon hair,
Like sunlight, streams o'er her breast.
Hush! let her sleep! I pray, sweet breeze,
Breathe low on the maple bough!
Hush! bright bird, on her window trees!
For sweetly she sleepest now.
Sweetly she sleeps, my Alice fair,
Her cheek on the pillow pressed,
Sweetly she sleeps, while her Saxon hair,
Like sunlight, streams o'er her breast.
Sweetly she sleeps, my Alice fair,
Her cheek like the first May rose,
Sweetly she sleeps, and all her care
Is forgotten in soft repose.
Hush! though the earliest beams of light
Their wings in the blue sea dip,
Let her sleep, I pray, while her dreams are bright,
And a smile is about her lip.
Sweetly she sleeps, my Alice fair,
Her cheek on the pillow pressed,
Sweetly she sleeps, while her Saxon hair,
Like sunlight, streams o'er her breast.
Here is one from the past worth re-post...LOL!!

Why Obama has to get Egypt right
By George SorosThursday, February 3, 2011
Revolutions usually start with enthusiasm and end in tears. In the case of the Middle East, the tears could be avoided if President Obama stands firmly by the values that got him elected. Although American power and influence in the world have declined, our allies and their armies look to us for direction. These armies are strong enough to maintain law and order as long as they stay out of politics; thus the revolutions can remain peaceful. That is what the United States should insist on while encouraging corrupt and repressive rulers who are no longer tolerated by their people to step aside and allow new leaders to be elected in free and fair elections.
That is the course that the revolution in Tunisia is taking. Tunisia has a relatively well-developed middle class, women there enjoy greater rights and opportunities than in most Muslim countries, and the failed regime was secular in character. The prospects for democratic change are favorable.
Egypt is more complex and, ultimately, more influential, which is why it is so important to get it right. The protesters are very diverse, including highly educated and common people, young and old, well-to-do and desperately poor. While the slogans and crowds in Tahrir Square are not advancing a theocratic agenda at all, the best-organized political opposition that managed to survive in that country's repressive environment is the Muslim Brotherhood. In free elections, the Brotherhood is bound to emerge as a major political force, though it is far from assured of a majority.
Some have articulated fears of adverse consequences of free elections, suggesting that the Egyptian military may seek to falsify the results; that Israel may be adamantly opposed to a regime change; that the domino effect of extremist politics spreading to other countries must be avoided; and that the supply of oil from the region could be disrupted. These notions constitute the old conventional wisdom about the Middle East - and need to be changed, lest Washington incorrectly put up resistance to or hesitate in supporting transition in Egypt.
That would be regrettable. President Obama personally and the United States as a country have much to gain by moving out in front and siding with the public demand for dignity and democracy. This would help rebuild America's leadership and remove a lingering structural weakness in our alliances that comes from being associated with unpopular and repressive regimes. Most important, doing so would open the way to peaceful progress in the region. The Muslim Brotherhood's cooperation with Mohamed ElBaradei, the Nobel laureate who is seeking to run for president, is a hopeful sign that it intends to play a constructive role in a democratic political system. As regards contagion, it is more likely to endanger the enemies of the United States - Syria and Iran - than our allies, provided that they are willing to move out ahead of the avalanche.
The main stumbling block is Israel. In reality, Israel has as much to gain from the spread of democracy in the Middle East as the United States has. But Israel is unlikely to recognize its own best interests because the change is too sudden and carries too many risks. And some U.S. supporters of Israel are more rigid and ideological than Israelis themselves. Fortunately, Obama is not beholden to the religious right, which has carried on a veritable vendetta against him. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee is no longer monolithic or the sole representative of the Jewish community. The main danger is that the Obama administration will not adjust its policies quickly enough to the suddenly changed reality.
I am, as a general rule, wary of revolutions. But in the case of Egypt, I see a good chance of success. As a committed advocate of democracy and open society, I cannot help but share in the enthusiasm that is sweeping across the Middle East. I hope President Obama will expeditiously support the people of Egypt. My foundations are prepared to contribute what they can. In practice, that means establishing resource centers for supporting the rule of law, constitutional reform, fighting corruption and strengthening democratic institutions in those countries that request help in establishing them, while staying out of those countries where such efforts are not welcome.

TheDC Exclusive – The Obama administration snubbed top GOP oversight official Rep. Darrell Issa on his first major document deadline as new chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, sending a short letter promising to comply in response to a major information request that was due Saturday at noon.
But Issa is hitting back Tuesday with a demand key documents be sent in two days.
The Obama snub is the first sign of how the administration will respond to demands for documents and testimony by key officials from Republicans in control of the House now that the GOP holds the power of congressional subpoena.
A Jan. 28 letter from the Department of Homeland Security promised to cooperate with Issa’s document request sent Jan. 14 – but Issa’s deadline for the documents expired the next day.
“I asked DHS to produce this information by Jan. 29 – two weeks from the date of my second letter,” Issa says in his Feb. 1 reply to the deadline snub, “The department gave no indication that it would not be able to comply with the deadline.”
Further, Issa charges that top DHS officials actually instructed career employees not to search for the documents he is requesting.
“I was disappointed to learn that on or about Jan. 20, 2011, DHS’s Office of General Counsel instructed career staff in the Privacy Office not to search for documents responsive to my request,” Issa says in the Feb. 1 letter.
Issa is requesting documents from DHS about political interference with Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to the agency.
In July, the Associated Press reported top DHS officials told career employees to steer sensitive FOIA requests to Obama’s political advisers for unusual scrutiny.
FOIA requests by lawmakers, watchdog groups and journalists were subjected to the special political reviews.
In his response to the deadline snub, Issa demands a set of key documents in two days, including e-mails between key DHS officials and the Obama White House.
Issa says the e-mails should be easy to find because all White House staff use similar e-mail addresses.
“As you know, e-mail to and from the White House is identifiable by the handle ‘@who.eop.gov’,” Issa says.
Further, Issa requests transcribed interviews with six top DHS officials about the issue, including Noah Kroloff, chief of staff to DHS Sec. Janet Napolitano. The interviews are set to begin the week of Feb. 7.
The Jan. 28 response from DHS to the document request says the agency is “in the process of retrieving other responsive documents” besides those already disclosed by the agency, which it says include “over a thousand pages of documents” and briefings to lawmakers including Issa.
But Issa says in his response to the deadline snub, “That statement is misleading. To date, DHS has produced six pages of documents and provided one briefing to this committee.”
In July, DHS published 1,051 pages of documents related to its FOIA process on its website. Issa says in his letter these documents are “heavily redacted” and requests unredacted copies by Feb. 3. An Issa spokesman notes the documents were not released to the committee.
Several passages of the letter appear to indicate Issa is receiving information on potential impropriety at DHS from someone inside the agency.
For instance, Issa mentions that “during the week of Jan. 10, 2011, my staff obtained material that called into question the statements supplied by the Department during” a September briefing on the issue.
Additionally, Issa includes his charge that career employees were instructed not to search for documents responsive to his request.
Bobby Whithorne, a DHS spokesman, defended the agency’s record on FOIA when contacted Monday about whether DHS met the weekend deadline.
“The Department responded directly to Chairman Issa last week. Our record is clear, under this Administration, the Department has reduced the FOIA backlog by 84%, released over 138,000 FOIA requests in the past year, the most of any federal agency, and substantially reduced the amount of time it takes to process FOIA requests,” Whithorne said.

Good points. Thanks, sweetie.
Arizona may have the most advanced plan, but 10 of the United States – controlling 107 Electoral College votes – are now considering some type of legislation that would plug the hole in federal election procedures that in 2008 allowed Barack Obama to be nominated, elected and inaugurated without providing proof of his qualifications under the U.S. Constitution.
And they aren't all the simple legislation such as that adopted in New Hampshire a year ago that requires an affidavit from a candidate stating that the qualifications – age, residency and being a "natural born citizen" – have been met.
In Georgia, for example, HB37 by Rep. Bobby Franklin not only demands original birth-certificate documentation, it provides a procedure for and declares that citizens have "standing" to challenge the documentation.
Order your copy of Jerome Corsi's upcoming blockbuster, "Where's the Birth Certificate? The Case That Barack Obama Is Not Eligible to Be President," autographed from the WND Superstore and be among the first get this historic book when it is released this spring.
Franklin told WND the least that leaders of the United States, on a state or federal level, can do is to follow the requirements of the law of the land.
His plan, he said, is needed because he saw "requirements in the Constitution that you don't have a code provision to ensure that it happens."
"If we as an entity of civil government don't follow the laws, then what makes us think that our citizens are going to obey anything we enact?" he said. "We need to lead by example."
WND reported just one day ago that Arizona, which had a plan to require documentation of eligibility from presidential candidates passed by the state House a year ago, had proposed a new plan.
According to officials with the National Conference of State Legislatures, 10 states already have some sort of eligibility-proof requirement plan.
There is Arizona's HB2544, Connecticut's SB391, Georgia's HB37, Indiana's SB114, Maine's LD34, Missouri's HB283, Montana's HB205, Nebraska's LB654, Oklahoma's SB91, SB384 and SB540, and Texas; HB295 and HB529.
Led by Texas with 34, the states control 107 Electoral College votes.
The NCLS said New Hampshire last year adopted HB1245, but it requires only a statement under penalty of perjury that a candidate meets the qualification requirements of the U.S. Constitution, which is something similar to what the political parties already state regarding their candidates.
Other plans were considered last year in Texas, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Missouri, Minnesota, Maine and Arizona, and Arizona's probably got the closest to law, falling a "pocket veto" short in the state Senate, despite widespread support.
Arizona
This is the one that could change the game. A plan in Arizona to require presidential candidates to prove their eligibility to occupy the Oval Office is approaching critical mass, even though it has just been introduced.
The proposal from state Rep. Judy Burges was brought forth with 16 members of the state Senate as co-sponsors. It needs only 16 votes in the Senate to pass.
In the House, there are 25 co-sponsors, with the need for only 31 votes for passage, and Burges told WND that there were several chamber members who confirmed they support the plan and will vote for it, but simply didn't wish to be listed as co-sponsors.
The proposal is highly specific and directly addresses the questions that have been raised by Barack Obama's occupancy of the White House. It says:
Within ten days after submittal of the names of the candidates, the national political party committee shall submit an affidavit of the presidential candidate in which the presidential candidate states the candidate's citizenship and age and shall append to the affidavit documents that prove that the candidate is a natural born citizen, prove the candidate's age and prove that the candidate meets the residency requirements for President of the United States as prescribed in article II, section 1, Constitution of the United States.
"I think every American should consider it of prime importance to ensure that all candidates for the highest elected position in our nation meet all constitutional requirements," she told WND.
The Arizona bill also requires attachments, "which shall be sworn to under penalty of perjury," including "an original long form birth certificate that includes the date and place of birth, the names of the hospital and the attending physician and signatures of the witnesses in attendance."
It also requires testimony that the candidate "has not held dual or multiple citizenship and that the candidate's allegiance is solely to the United States of America."
"If both the candidate and the national political party committee for that candidate fail to submit and swear to the documents prescribed in this section, the secretary of state shall not place that presidential candidate's name on the ballot in this state," the plan explains.
The governor's office is occupied by Republican Jan Brewer, who has had no difficulty in bringing direct challenges to Washington, such as in 2010 when lawmakers adopted provisions allowing state law-enforcement officers to enforce federal immigration law. The move prompted an immediate court challenge by Washington.
Connecticut
In Connecticut, SB291 has been referred to the Judiciary Committee.
It would require "that candidates for president and vice-president provide their original birth certificates in order to be placed on the ballot."
That is needed to make sure the candidate "is a natural born United States citizen, prior to certifying that the candidate is qualified to appear on the ballot."
Georgia
In Georgia, HB37 by Rep. Bobby Franklin not only demands original birth-certificate documentation, it provides a procedure for and declares that citizens have "standing" to challenge the documentation.
"Each political party shall provide for each candidate ... original documentation that he meets the qualifications of Article, 2 Section 1, Paragraph 1, and Article 2, Section 1, Paragraph 5 of the United States Constitution to serve as president of the United States if elected to such office," it states.
"Any citizen of this state shall have the right to challenge the qualifications of any such candidate within two weeks following the publication of the names of such candidates," it says.
Indiana
In Indiana it was Sen. Mike Delph who proposed SB114 to require candidates to provide a certified copy of their birth certificate and include an affirmation they meet the Constitution's requirements for the president.
It calls for the candidates "to certify that the candidate has the qualifications provided in Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution" and accompany that certification with "a certified copy of the candidate's birth certificate, including any other documentation necessary to establish that the candidate meets the qualifications."
In also provides "that the election division may not certify the name of a nominee for president or vice president of the United States unless the election division has received a nominee's certification and documentation."
On his blog, commentator Gary Welsh observed that state law already requires the elections division to deny ballot access to unqualified candidates:
"However, it makes no provision for requiring candidates to furnish any evidence with their declaration of candidacy to indicate whether they are eligible to hold the office. Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution requires a person to be a natural born citizen, at least 35 years of age and have resided within the United States for at least 14 years in order to be eligible to be president. Under Delph's legislation, no major party candidate will be eligible for the Indiana presidential primary unless they file a declaration of candidacy attesting that he or she meets the constitutional eligibility requirements and furnish the state election's division with a certified copy of the candidate's birth certificate and any other evidence the Commission may require to establish the candidate satisfies the constitutional eligibility requirements."
He cited the "unprecedented" 2008 election, where "the candidates nominated by both major parties for president had questions raised by citizens about their eligibility, which resulted in dozens of lawsuits being filed across the country. Sen. John McCain's birth in Panama where his father was serving his country in the Navy led to lawsuits being filed against his candidacy, while questions about the birthplace of Barack Obama resulted in even more lawsuits being filed challenging his eligibility.
"Obama furnished to Factcheck.org what was purported to be a certified copy of his birth certificate [the online certification of live birth], although questions lingered about his natural born status because his father was not a U.S. citizen and persistent Internet rumors that he was actually born in Kenya and not Hawaii as he claimed."
But he said the issue was that neither candidate was "required to furnish any election authority with any document such as a birth certificate ... ."
He said, "After [Sen. John] McCain was nominated at the Republican National Convention, Republican officials filed with the elections division a certificate of nomination that attested both he and his vice presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, met the eligibility requirements set out in the U.S. Constitution. The certificate of nomination filed by Democratic Party officials for Obama and his running mate, Joe Biden, contained no similar attestation.
"Critics will no doubt poke fun at SB114 and label Delph and those who support it as 'birthers.' To them I say it is no more absurd than the documentary proof required under state law for persons seeking a driver's license, or requiring all registered voters to present a valid picture ID in order to cast a vote in person at an election. And it certainly is no more burdensome than evidence required of ordinary citizens in any number of transactions," he said.
On Welsh's blog, a forum participant wrote, "All I can say is he is the only president in my memory who has not only REFUSED to present medical records, tax records, birth records, college records, etc., but he has hired a battalion of lawyers who vigorously fight every effort to force him to. Why is he so secretive?"
Maine
Maine's LD34 calls for a requirement for candidates for public office to provide proof of citizenship.
It states, "A candidate for nomination by primary election shall show proof of United States citizenship in the form of a certified copy of the candidate's birth certificate and the candidate's driver's license or other government-issued identification to the Secretary of State."
Missouri
The Missouri plan, HB283, by nearly two dozen sponsors, would require that certification for candidates "shall include proof of identity and proof of United States citizenship."
Nebraska
In Nebraska, with LB654, the certification for candidates would "include affidavits and supporting documentation."
That paperwork would need to document they meet the "eligibility requirements of Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States."
It requires an affidavit that says: "I was born a citizen of the United States of America and was subject exclusively to the jurisdiction of the United States of America, owing allegiance to no other country at the time of my birth."
Montana
Under Montana's plan by Rep. Bob Wagner, candidates would have to document their eligibility and also provide for protection for state taxpayers to prevent them from being billed for "unnecessary expense and litigation" involving the failure of 'federal election officials' to do their duty.
"There should be no question after the fact as to the qualifications [of a president]," Wagner told WND. "The state of Montana needs to have [legal] grounds to sue for damages for the cost of litigation."
Wagner's legislation cites the Constitution's requirement that the president hold "natural born citizenship" and the fact that the "military sons and daughters of the people of Montana and all civil servants to the people of Montana are required by oath to defend and uphold the Constitution of the United States and Montana against enemies foreign and domestic."
But there are estimates of up to $2 million being spent on Obama's defense against eligibility lawsuits. There have been dozens of them and some have been running for more than two years. So Wagner goes a step beyond.
"Whereas, it would seem only right and just to positively certify eligibility for presidential and congressional office at the federal level; and whereas, it is apparent that the federal authority is negligent in the matter; therefore, the responsibility falls upon the state; and whereas, this act would safeguard the people of Montana from unnecessary expense and litigation and the possibility that federal election officials fail in their duty and would ensure that the State of Montana remains true to the Constitution," says his proposed legislation.
Oklahoma
In Oklahoma, SB91 would require "proof of citizenship for certain candidates" and take the openness one step further, allowing the public access.
It demands an "original" birth certificate issued by a state, the federal government, or documentation of a birth of a U.S. citizen abroad ...
"Copies of these documents shall be made by the election board and kept available for public inspection pursuant to the Oklahoma Open Records Act.
Pennsylvania
In Pennsylvania, there was excitement over the GOP majority of both houses of the state legislature as well as the governor's office.
Assemblyman Daryl Metcalfe told WND he is working on a proposal that would demand documentation of constitutional eligibility.
He described it as a "problem" that there has been no established procedure for making sure that presidential candidates meet the Constitution's requirements for age, residency and being a "natural born citizen."
"We hope we would be able to pass this legislation and put it into law before the next session," he said.
Texas
A bill filed for the Texas Legislature by Rep. Leo Berman, R-Tyler, that would require candidates' documentation.
Berman's legislation, House Bill 295, is brief and simple:
It would add to the state election code the provision: "The secretary of state may not certify the name of a candidate for president or vice-president unless the candidate has presented the candidate's original birth certificate indicating that the person is a natural-born United States citizen."
It includes an effective date of Sept. 1, 2011, in time for 2012 presidential campaigning.
State Rep. Leo Berman
Berman told WND he's seen neither evidence nor indication that Obama qualifies under the Constitution's requirement that a president be a "natural-born citizen."
"If the federal government is not going to vet these people, like they vetted John McCain, we'll do it in our state," he said.
He noted the Senate's investigation into McCain because of the Republican senator's birth in Panama to military parents.
At the time the Constitution was written, many analysts agree, a "natural born citizen" was considered to be a citizen born of two citizen parents. If that indeed is correct, Obama never would have been qualified to be president, as he himself has confirmed his father was a Kenyan subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom, making Obama a dual citizen with Kenyan and American parentage at his birth.
Other definitions have called for a "natural born citizen" to be born of citizen parents inside the nation.
There have been dozens of lawsuits and challenges over the fact that Obama's "natural born citizen" status never has been documented. The "certification of live birth" his campaign posted online is a document that Hawaii has made available to those not born in the state.
The controversy stems from the Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, which states, "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President."
The challenges to Obama's eligibility allege he does not qualify because he was not born in Hawaii in 1961 as he claims, or that he fails to qualify because he was a dual citizen, through his father, of the U.S. and the United Kingdom's Kenyan terroritory when he was born and the framers of the Constitution specifically excluded dual citizens from eligibility.
There are several cases still pending before the courts over Obama's eligibility. Those cases, however, almost all have been facing hurdles created by the courts' interpretation of "standing," meaning someone who is being or could be harmed by the situation. The courts have decided almost unanimously that an individual taxpayer faces no damages different from other taxpayers, therefore doesn't have standing. Judges even have ruled that other presidential candidates are in that position.
The result is that none of the court cases to date has reached the level of discovery, through which Obama's birth documentation could be brought into court.
Obama even continued to withhold the information during a court-martial of a military officer, Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin, who challenged his deployment orders on the grounds Obama may not be a legitimate president. Lakin was convicted and sent to prison.
A year ago, polls indicated that roughly half of American voters were aware of a dispute over Obama's eligibility. Recent polls, however, by organizations including CNN, show that roughly six in 10 American voters hold serious doubts that Obama is eligible under the Constitution's demands.
Orly Taitz, the California lawyer who has worked on a number of the highest-profile legal challenges to Obama, was encouraging residents of other states to get to work.
"We need eligibility bills filed in each and every state of the union ... as it shows the regime that we are still the nation of law and the Constitution, that the Constitution matters and state representatives and senators are ready to fight for the rule of law. During the last election there were some 700 more Republican state assemblyman elected all over the country, as the nation is not willing to tolerate this assault on our rights and our Constitution any further," she said.
There also was, during the last Congress, Rep. Bill Posey's bill at the federal level.
Posey's H.R. 1503 stated:
"To amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to require the principal campaign committee of a candidate for election to the office of President to include with the committee's statement of organization a copy of the candidate's birth certificate, together with such other documentation as may be necessary to establish that the candidate meets the qualifications for eligibility to the Office of President under the Constitution."
The bill also provided:
"Congress finds that under … the Constitution of the United States, in order to be eligible to serve as President, an individual must be a natural born citizen of the United States who has attained the age of 35 years and has been a resident within the United States for at least 14 years."
It had more than a dozen sponsors, and while it died at the end of the last Congress, there are hopes the GOP majority in the House this year will move such a plan forward.
There also is a petition, already signed by tens of thousands, to state lawmakers asking them to make sure the next president of the United States qualifies under the Constitution's eligibility requirements.
"What we need are hundreds of thousands of Americans endorsing this strategy on the petition – encouraging more action by state officials before the 2012 election. Imagine if just one or two states adopt such measures before 2012. Obama will be forced to comply with those state regulations or forgo any effort to get on the ballot for re-election. Can Obama run and win without getting on all 50 state ballots? I don't think so," said Joseph Farah, CEO of WND, who is behind the idea of the petition.
An earlier petition had been directed at all controlling legal authorities at the federal level to address the concerns expressed by Americans, and it attracted more than half a million names.
For 18 months, Farah has been one of the few national figures who has steadfastly pushed the issue of eligibility, despite ridicule, name-calling and ostracism at the hands of most of his colleagues. To date, in addition to the earlier petition, he has:
erected billboards around the country demanding, "Where's the birth certificate?":
produced a 40-page special report on the subject;
produced a 60-minute documentary video primer on the issue;
manufactured yard and rally signs to bring attention to the topic;
pledged to donate at least $15,000 to any hospital in Hawaii or anywhere else that provides proof Obama was born there and given you an opportunity to raise the amount;
created a line of T-shirts you can wear to appearances by the president to raise visibility of the issue;
created a fund to which you can donate to further the kind of investigative reporting into this matter only this company has performed over the last two years;
launched a line of postcards you can use to keep the issue alive;
distributed thousands of bumper stickers asking, "Where's the birth certificate?"
Farah says all those campaigns are continuing.
"Obama may be able to continue showing contempt for the Constitution and the rule of law for the next two years, as he has demonstrated his willingness to do in his first year in office," he wrote in a column. "However, a day of reckoning is coming. Even if only one significant state, with a sizable Electoral College count, decides a candidate for election or re-election has failed to prove his or her eligibility, that makes it nearly impossible for the candidate to win. It doesn't take all 50 states complying with the law to be effective."

LoL....The Governor whom was going to show everyone Obama's birth certificate can't find it...wonder why
As I pointed out and as the statistics should tell you, gaming has spread..Vegas/Henderson is no longer the only place where one can find a casino.
People are still eating, wearing clothing and driving autos..and the women still need salons..but
Do not have any extra money to spend gambling. Un-employment rate will go down as people move away. Or somebody looks at Nevada and visualizes new industry to locate there...lots of educated and skilled people in the area.
There is still magic in the VEGAS name. As for Ried...unless he can do something outstanding, he is on his last hurrah.
yEAH HE made it alright...he twisted the arms of the Harris Group to get the culinary workers (union) out there and vote...bussed them over and gave them a dinner afterward...what do we expect when we put the SEIU in charge of maintaing our voting machines
We are like a ghostown in the real Las Vegas...whole shopping centers are for sale now...forget the bays. Gotta go and put in my 11 hours for a handfull of people spread out over the day,,
Nevada jobless rate rises to 14.3 percent
By JENNIFER ROBISON
LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL
Nevada's jobless rate has ticked up slightly, from 14.2 percent in October to 14.3 percent in November, the state Department of Employment, Training & Rehabilitation reported this morning.
In Las Vegas, joblessness increased from 14.1 percent to 14.3 percent.
In all, 185,900 Nevadans are unemployed and seeking jobs. That figure includes 137,000 Las Vegans.
The small gains in unemployment follow October's dip, the first in five years. Despite the increase, the employment department said signs point to continued stabilization in joblessness, with the state's unemployment rate hovering between 14.2 percent and 14.4 percent since June. In the same period in 2008 and 2009, joblessness had jumped 1.6 percentage points and 1.4 percentage points respectively.
"The stabilizing unemployment rate indicates that the worst of the recession is over. However, the unemployment rate will likely remain elevated well into 2011 before declining slowly over a number of years," said Bill Anderson, the employment department's chief economist, in a statement.
Results of the employer survey showed a decline in non-farm employment.
Employers shed roughly 2,500 jobs between October and November. The leisure and hospitality industry cut 2,900 positions, while the construction industry shed 1,500. Construction employment fell below 60,000 jobs in Nevada for the first time since February 1995. Employment in the manufacturing industry continues to contract, falling by 400 to 37,800. Since peaking in September 2006, manufacturing employment has fallen by 13,500, or 26.3 percent.
But some industries showed improvement in November.
Retail trade added 1,300 jobs, and is up by over 4,000 since the start of 2010. Professional and business services increased by 900 and education and health services added 500.
Unemployment nationwide came in at 9.8 percent in November.
Nevada has led the nation in unemployment since May.
Share & Save
The Republicans now own Congress...or they will come January. In the meanwhile, there will doubtless be bills passed by the Lame Ducks that the new congress people will not like.
The new congress people will have to run for their own jobs in two years, and by then the Tea Party BOOLSHEET will have died away.
REAL issues will have to be faced. Vague crap such as the TEA PARTY has been spouting will not get it.
Yeah, Well I was wrong...REID made it after all...
sob...I'm moving to Chignik....geeze if I didn't know better I would think that this election was rigged...
Well one of my daughters voted...the other one...the one that I have the name of on these boards... the very smart one... the one that takes after my mom...whelll?????...I pick my battles.
My kid Raena voted...and I am proud of her.
She is the fiesty one for sure as she told the marketing director off at the club fortune for not liking her "outfit" I told her to retire it..of course they escorted me out of the club...(My husband and Paige (one on each arm).. because I overheard a conversation...and I have a little bit of my Grandma B in me..lol..DON'T TALK ABOUT MY KIDS.... all ended well at the contest she came in second ... I went as a BAR FLY and I FIT the mold that night...lol again.
Well heck, I am proud of them!! Your Son, too. AND of you.
I gather that your Daughters did NOT vote Republican. LOL!!
...I am one of them swing voters out here..we just got back from voting..
My Son said.."I feel so American"..I am proud of him..
My daughters on the other hand???
WHAT OF THE VOTERS?
A hard core Democrat will vote Democrat...even if he or she has to simultaneously hold his/her nose.
A hard core Republican the same.
They will switch parties or go "no party" only with greatest reluctance. Most Southern states, once solidly Democrat..switched over from Democrat when Goldwater had them believing that he was on their side during the Civil Rights struggle. They were mostly "Right Wingers", anyway.
But the gap between hard core Democrats and hard core Republicans is not empty. It is filled with voters that are variously called "swing voters" or "Middle of the Roaders."
It so happens that the swing voters are about one third of the total of all voters, Nationally. They in fact, control who wins
the Presidency.
Though "Middling" they are NOT mediocre. They vote Issues or Personalities.
VEGAS/HENDERSON is still BIG...but not as big as before.
NEVADA has a high unemployment rate because nationally, the gambling industry has shifted somewhat from them to the INDIANS in a lot of other states.
NEW JERSEY has a similar problem, but has more of a non-gambling
industry than does Nevada.
INDIAN RESERVATIONS are setting up CASINOS where before they only had BINGO or a few illegal slot machines. THE RED MANS revenge on the PALEFACES. Take their damn money. LOL!!
The way that Politics work is each party has a hard core support of roughly one third of the people that bother to vote. ERGO, to win an election, each party has to go after the one third, roughly, that will vote either way w/o regard for the party.
The above is true Nationally, but less so in individual States.
A politician out of power is a pathetic thing, to be avoided if at all possible... THEREFORE it is not always possible to depend upon what a politician says as the truth. The Politician is apt to say to the extent that he can, what he believes that you want to hear...truth or not.
To keep their power base, they have to stay mindful of the position of their own party, which they have to depend upon for unwavering support. But try to sell to the "middle", which cannot be depended upon as unwavering support, that what they do is good.
To get elected is the thing. The ONE thing.
From MSNBC...
"The House of Representatives is so constituted as to support in the members an habitual recollection of their dependence on the people," the framers wrote Federalist papers, in support of biennial elections to the House proposed in the newly written Constitution.
"Before the sentiments impressed on their minds by the mode of their elevation can be effaced by the exercise of power, they will be compelled to anticipate the moment when their power is to cease, when their exercise of it is to be reviewed, and when they must descend to the level from which they were raised."
Whether it is Democrats or Republicans surfing a wave, "change" elections were all part of the plan.
What was the issue on Eminent Domain?? Governments have become bolder in recent years in taking peoples real property for "the publick good". I hope the vote is to restrain them some. And it carries.
I have a distant cousin running for "STATE COURT" judge along with many other Lawyers here. Seems that the Lawyer business must have fallen off some. They are looking for a steady income.
I voted for him because he is kin, though I barely know him..LOL!! State court is one notch below Superior court level here.
JP court is a notch below that. JP court handles minor domestic disputes, small claims, and issues warrents along with ousting people that does not pay their rent. JP judges do not have to be Lawyers. They are appointed, along with Supreme Court Judges, by the Governor.
Ms. Angle will probably win. Harry has picked up too much negativity. That comes with the territory when one becomes a leader.
Not surprising that SOROS is being bad-mouthed by Beck. SOROS is a rival of Becks big boss.
Crow...we had 5 questions given for us to vote on out here...one of my clients dad is a Federal Judge...he told me that his father was appalled at the way this state is going..and couldn't believe the questions that were presented.
Glenn Beck last night mentioned two of the questions we have been asked to vote on...
The first one was about Immenite Domain, that's a no brainer..
The second one was to take the vote away from the people on the Judges elections...just found out that it was George Soros that has the organization behind that...he is one scary dude and that's a fact...
Glenn will be doing a special about him next week it will be interesting what he pulls up...
I will be voting with my husband and kids today...it's a good thing that we are still able to vote.
I'll be suprised if we don't have a recount out here because Sharron Angle will win..Harry isn't gonna go down easy..
It seems apparent that Ole Glenn has stirred up at least one Joker that believes what Beck Preaches.
Funny thing is, just in case the Election turns out as most predict, and the Republicans get a big House majority, and even get control of the Senate, they then will have to stand and deliver before the next President election...or lose.
Murdoch cannot run, he is an Australian...
Why did your family come over here?
I once interviewed a woman for a Janitor job...it was about 3 PM and she had given birth earlier that same day!!
I had to send her to the DOC if I accepted her...and knew she would not pass. So I delayed the selection for about a week.
I finally got her, and persuaded her to go to school part-time.
I figured that anyone wanting to work that bad would be a good employee...and worthy of a better job than janitor.
So I got her promoted to a clerical position..last I heard she is still doing well.
I was once a kid and it had meaning to me...eom
The PLEDGE of allegience is simple-minded hooey...But I have absolutely NO objection to ANYONE saying it if they want to.
I PLEDGE ALLEGIENCE TO THE FLAG...A piece of cloth??? I have allegience to the COUNTRY itself not to some symbol.
The kids will say it...but it has no meaning to them.
Crow that is why imo America is such a great country...I am not a church goer...I believe it is the way you treat people that makes you a good person...my brotherinlaw...< ex)) can quote the bible all day long...turn around and screw you royaly...ask for forgivness and be holier than though again.
The people now... that do not believe in God only want thier views and laws enforced....wrong imo
To not let the kids say the pledge of allegiance is ridiculas..
We have to stand for something..
Why did your family come over here?
My family are Volga Germans...when they did the genealogy tree years later..they found that my Grandma from my mothers side and grandpa were 3rd cousions...
My Mom is 100% German...my Dad was at least 1/2 with a little French creole, Indian, and scottish from Louisiana...but my Grandma on my dads side was 100% German..
Harty people..lol I always said that they could labor in the fields have a kid and go back to work the same day...which is almost what I did with that dam business I own...lol
imo...obama has a perty good clue..
Glenn Beck stated that he is known to use a Telepromter...with as small a group as 6 people..Why?? Because he is afraid he is going to get himself in another jackpot...like everytime he is on his own..spread the wealth..etc.
If for nothing else you should watch Glenn he will give you new material..lol
Crow first of all...Glenn doesn't like McCain either he just stated that he would be taking us down the same path that Obama is taking us down...it would just have been slower...
I am not a republican...it took me a while to wake up and Ron Paul did it...I thought it was amazing that he got his pies out there to show us that he was a business man..
Radical Reform to me is putting in the real people not people like Tom Dashel whom lost his power thank god...then the Pres tries to bring him back into the Healthcare fold...of course he got the spotlight on him for not paying taxes...
We need people that have values and can stand up to something that just doesn't feel just right.
Tell me that the common folk like myself would just sign our name to a contract/bill without reading it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The President LIED he said no pork and he was going to go line by line...he led his party that couldn't even stand up for their values.. he took them over a cliff...the republicans will win this year but watch out...if they don't do what the people want they will lose next time around..were gonna weed them buggers out.
You never know how it feels until you lose something..."we the people" are keenly aware that we are losing our rights..were going to fight like hell to hang on to them..and also fight for the people.. mostly kids that are blinded..
They will thank us one day..mostly the young spoiled voters..did I say spoiled? Just wait until thier told NO...lol they listen to comedy central and think it's the news..
We have been hit daily with college kids going door to door and getting out the vote...I feel sorry for them..they are getting it from both sides of our neighborhood street...
I had a kid come in and get his haircut he was a Reed employee...he said it was ruff out there getting the door slammed in his face...he thought that handling the phones was a better position...
Reed has paid these kids a lot of money...we have no jobs out here...they will work for anyone..but do not understand what they are doing..
.....Think Soilent Green.......Remember that Movie?
...I never forgot it...lol
How would you like to live back in Scotland or New England during the 16 and 17 hundreds where it was a crime to miss Church services w/o an acceptable excuse??
The cool thing about our systen of Government is that nobody really understands how to take us over and convert us to a Dictatorship...Now THAT would be a "RADICAL CHANGE" as Beck says we should demand. LOL!!
LOL!! I must say that I admire your strong stummick!!
After revealing the trail of lies that brought us here, Broke exposes the truth about what we’re really facing. Most people have seen pieces of the puzzle, but very few have ever seen the whole picture—and for very good reason: Our leaders have done everything in their power to hide it. If Americans understood how dire things really are, they would be demanding radical reform right now. Despite the rhetoric, that’s not the kind of change our politicians really believe in.
Crow I have been watching glenn for a year now...he is ahead of the curve with the news he brings to his audience. He has video tapes where these people speak with their own words....how is that a lie?
What I found interesting (one of many).. it was tabu to say hussein when Obama was running..John McCain wouldn't mention his middle name and no tv stations or cable channels mentioned his middle name..then when he gets sworn in he states his middle name...what was that all about?? there were only 2 other presidents in our history that had their middle name mentioned to be sworn in..so why did he do it then?
lol...Besides that.. he really ticked off Etta James by not having her sing her signature song..."At Last"...he let Beyonce..
Who do you think he talks to on that blackberry anyway????
hmmmmmmm could it be Soros?? I bet it is..
Then we have Michelle O...telling the resturants how to serve healthy food cut back on butter salt etc..then she stops and dines eating a cheesburger and fries...I mean who do these people think they are?
Theve all but stopped the drilling in the gulf and gave Mexico and Brazil the rites to drill where we are not allowed to.
James Carvell was furious with him...imo he has fallen out of the loop..
He sued our own Arizona and let other countries go after us...he is not for this country...what kinda president would do that? We are having blood shed over in Mexico and it's spilling into our Country and he does nothing or hardly nothing..he's scary
Glenn had a professor on who came from India that wrote a book about Obama and I believe he has him nailed...he is fufilling the dreams of his father...the father that abanded him as an infant.
Which are NOT the dreams of the everyday Joes out here.. I do hope they wake up..
I say take the keys away from all of the canidates that have been driving our country into a ditch and I believe that there are many people that think like myself...
Harry is going down...he has had to many years and owes to many favors...28 years is to long imo...
DAVID while not hurting, does not make nearly the money that RUSH, BECK, HANNITY etc make...He writes for relatively obscure pubications...But the present radio and FOX TV boys and girls owe him for their own expressed ideas...they should pay him a royality...
