Dr Orly Taitz DEFEND OUR FREEDOMS
Dr. Orly Taitz exposes the FRAUD obama at a lecture being given by the US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts in mar 09. The U.S. Supreme Court and the U.S. Justice Department today (mar 24 2009) confirmed that documentation challenging Barack Obama's eligibility to be president has arrived and soon will be evaluated.
what this meas is the FRAUD obama is being exposed. Even if the US Supreme Court does not hear her case the exposure has exposed obama as a FRAUD!
....................................................................................
By Mark S. McGrew
Most recently, of note, is a grueling 3am trip made by Dr. Orly Taitz to attend a lecture being given by the US Supreme Court’s Chief Justice John Roberts. She traveled by car, plane and car again from her office in California to a small town in Idaho, carrying two suitcases of documents.
Her goal was to personally deliver, directly into the hands of Chief Justice Roberts these historic documents. Many of the attorney’s making lawsuits would never consider breeching protocol by bypassing “the system” and going straight to the target.
But Orly Taitz did it and she was successful. She delivered to the Chief Justice of The United States Supreme Court: 1. Motion for reconsideration of Lightfoot v Bowen with all the supplemental briefs. 2. Quo Warranto Easterling et al v Obama et al. 3. 3300 pages with 325,000 names of people that signed a WorldNetDaily petition, demanding that the Supreme Court hear Obama elligibility cases. 4. Copy of the 130 page dossier and all the other documents sent to US Attorney General Eric Holder, and others.
There were numerous cameras recording this event and simultaneous feed broadcast to all the campuses of the University of Idaho. Roughly 5,000 people on all the campuses had an opportunity to hear what Dr. Taitz had to say.
Chief Justice Roberts stated to her, “I will read your documents, I will review them. Give them to my Secret Service Agent and I will review them.” His Secret Service Agent approached her and told Dr. Taitz, “Give me all the documents, I promise you Justice Roberts will get them.”
She had a full suitcase of documents. The agent went to look for a box, and after he found a large box to fit all the documents, he showed her his badge and introduced himself as Gilbert Shaw, Secret Service Agent assigned to the security of Chief Justice Roberts.
Dr. Taitz made her presentation in front of 800 people in the audience, including university officials, the president of the Idaho State Bar and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Idaho, and in front of all them, Chief Justice promised to read her papers.
Attorneys Mario Apuzzo, Dr. Orly Taitz and Phillip Berg are asking various Courts for “Quo Warranto”.
The legal phrase Quo Warranto essentially means an explanation is being demanded for what authority Obama is using to act as President. An online constitutional resource says Quo
Warranto “affords the only judicial remedy for violations of the Constitution by public officials and agents.”
The Obama campaign is the greatest theft of a great Nation, America. It is the greatest fraud in American history. He is the greatest con man in American history. The major media in America is a willing participant in this fraud. American politicians are either willingly participating or ignoring the truth in front of their noses. The American election system is being made a mockery of to the World. The American Constitution is being torn up. Americans are being divided by Obama, intentionally. Obama has publicly stated his intention to commit Crimes Against Humanity by forcing Americans to perform free labor for the government.
Obama is the only United States President in history to be sued. And he has not one lawsuit challenging his eligibility, but approximately 40 lawsuits in State and Federal Courts all across America, from Delaware to Hawaii.
This game being played has very high stakes. If a new administration, a constitutional administration, an American administration takes power; everyone who aided and abetted Obama may be prosecuted for Treason and hanged by the neck until dead.
Alberto Gonzales, past US Attorney General, under President George W. Bush Jr., when he gave his opinion that torture was permissible, warned the President that a future administration may prosecute him, regardless of the Gonzales opinion.
In a realm where there is no right or wrong, only force, by whoever holds that power, is what determines who lives and who dies.
The United States Constitution allows us to avoid that kind of behavior, but with the current power denying, disobeying, ignoring and violating that Constitution, they are exposing themselves, their families and certain of their international friends, to death by hanging.
It truly is the time for all good men to come to the aid of America. All Americans need to forget their differences and unite in stopping Obama’s actions of destroying this country. Go to Dr. Orly Taitz’s website. She will tell you what to do and how to do it. There are form letters and addresses of the key people to send them to. This is not difficult to make your voice heard. If you do not join in saving this country, you are contributing to our downfall. People from other Nations also, should join this fight. If America fails, your country will suffer. We are asking World leaders and the citizens of all countries to join in and help us to remove the un-constitutional administration of Obama. The American people are not bad. We’re just like people anywhere, wanting the same things in life. The crimes of America are committed by officials who refuse to obey our Constitution.
An interesting aspect of this entire affair is that this article and previous ones that I have written are first published in Russia’s Pravda.Ru service. Dr. Orly Taitz, the attorney making the most headway in the American Courts is a Russian immigrant to America.
And the small town in Idaho, where she was finally able to present her case to the highest Justice of the highest court in America, is named “Moscow”.

Justice, Supremes confirm getting eligibility challenge Taitz documents demanding proof of Obama's birthplace to be reviewed
....................................................................................
The U.S. Supreme Court and the U.S. Justice Department today (Mar 24 2009) confirmed that documentation challenging Barack Obama's eligibility to be president has arrived and soon will be evaluated.
Confirmation came from DefendOurFreedoms.us, the foundation through which California attorney Orly Taitz has been working on a number of cases that raise questions over Obama's birth location, and therefore his qualifications to be president under the Constitution's demand that the office be occupied only by a "natural born" citizen.
According to the blog, Taitz was informed by Karen Thornton of the Department of Justice that all of the case documents and filings have arrived and have been forwarded to the Office of Solicitor General Elena Kagan, including three dossiers and the Quo Warranto case.
"Coincidently, after Dr. Taitz called me with that update, she received another call from Officer Giaccino at the Supreme Court," the posting said. "Officer Giaccino stated both pleadings have been received and being analyzed now."
The report from the Supreme Court also said the documents that Taitz hand-delivered to Chief Justice John Roberts at his appearance at the University of Idaho a little over a week ago also were at the Supreme Court.

Mayor Richard M. Daley http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-0605260152may26,0,1351888,full.column?coll=chi-homepagenews2-utl Quiet guy lifts the lid off hiring machine. Picture a red beet in a suit perched in the witness box in federal court, and you can see Jack Drumgould. He's a quiet little guy who worked at City Hall for almost 30 years and who, on Thursday, explained how Chicago really works. From the witness stand in the patronage corruption trial, with Mayor Richard Daley's underlings staring at him, Drumgould was established as an expert in the hiring business.How do you become a hiring expert at City Hall so you can retire with a $6,000 monthly pension? You do what the mayor's office wants you to do when it comes to hiring some people and not hiring others.You hire the guys they want you to hire and give them a good rating score. And you downgrade others after interviewing them because that's what the bosses want, even if those downgraded are more qualified. Assistant U.S. Atty. Julie Ruder wanted to know about the hundreds of people he had interviewed for the jobs of truck driver and laborer. She asked: Didn't the interviews matter?"No," he said. "Because the interviews are not going to decide who is going to receive the position." http://washingtonindependent.com/18104/obamas-boys-from-chicago In the days following his election, it has become clear that President-elect Barack Obama is bringing a little bit of Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley’s City Hall to Washington. The White House chief of staff will be Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.), a former Daley fund-raiser. Emanuel is stepping down from his district on the city’s northwest side to help Obama govern. Obama’s senior adviser will be David Axelrod, a long-time friend and ally who wrote speeches and ran campaigns for Daley for almost 20 years. And a key player on the Obama transition team is none other than William Daley, the mayor’s younger brother and rumored to be in line for a Cabinet post.
What will it mean for the country to have so many denizens of Chicago’s City Hall in charge? Well, speaking as a Chicagoan who’s been watching these guys for years, you can put aside any notion that the White House will be run by left-wing ideologues. By and large, this is a bunch of pragmatic deal makers who view ideology — especially extreme left-wing ideology — as a weakness.

Ray La Hood The Obama Gift to the Chicago Political Machine and Mayor Daley: http://www.usnews.com/blogs/barone/2009/2/2/the-obama-gift-to-the-chicago-political-machine-and-mayor-daley-ray-lahood.html?s_cid=rss:barone:the-obama-gift-to-the-chicago-political-machine-and-mayor-daley-ray-lahood
Ray LaHood Rick Moran spotlights one of the under-covered stories of the incoming Obama administration: O'Hare Airport. I don't take as dim a view as Moran does of Mayor Richard M. Daley's project of expanding O'Hare from four to eight runways and building a new terminal on the west side of the airport. It seems to me that Daley is acting in the spirit of his father. Transportation has been the key to Chicago's growth as a world city. In the middle 19th century the railroads did more than anything else to make Chicago what it became. In the middle 20th century the building of O'Hare, superintended in significant part by the late Mayor Richard J. Daley, did the same. The current Mayor Daley's project of expanding O'Hare is intended to do the same for the 21st century. Currently Britain is debating whether to build a third runway at Heathrow November saw the opening of the fifth runway at O'Hare. Unlike Moran, I like this kind of grand vision, and I don't think it's hugely tragic that a neighborhood of several dozen houses in Bensenville will have to be torn down (don't these people have to live with runway noise anyway?). In any case, O'Hare expansion is going forward. It's significant that so far the only member of Barack Obama's cabinet ever elected to office as a Republican is Ray LaHood at Transportation. LaHood was former Minority Leader Robert Michel's successor in the 18th District of Illinois, a completely honest but also get-along-go-along Republican who served on the Appropriations Committee. The chances that he will not facilitate O'Hare expansion are, I think, precisely zero. His appointment was a gift not so much to House Republicans as to Mayor Daley.

The earlier comment came in September, when Blagojevich questioned financial statements by the head of the Chicago Transit Authority. "I've said 'cuckoo' once. I'll say it again," Daley said. He chirped another "Cuckoo!" to reporters before leaving his Friday morning news conference. Meanwhile, Blagojevich said Friday afternoon that his choice not to attend his impeachment trial in the Illinois State Senate was "not an act of defiance," but a protest against what he again characterized as a violation of constitutional civil liberties.

Mayor Richard M. Daley http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-0605260152may26,0,1351888,full.column?coll=chi-homepagenews2-utl Quiet guy lifts the lid off hiring machine. Picture a red beet in a suit perched in the witness box in federal court, and you can see Jack Drumgould. He's a quiet little guy who worked at City Hall for almost 30 years and who, on Thursday, explained how Chicago really works. From the witness stand in the patronage corruption trial, with Mayor Richard Daley's underlings staring at him, Drumgould was established as an expert in the hiring business.How do you become a hiring expert at City Hall so you can retire with a $6,000 monthly pension? You do what the mayor's office wants you to do when it comes to hiring some people and not hiring others.You hire the guys they want you to hire and give them a good rating score. And you downgrade others after interviewing them because that's what the bosses want, even if those downgraded are more qualified. Assistant U.S. Atty. Julie Ruder wanted to know about the hundreds of people he had interviewed for the jobs of truck driver and laborer. She asked: Didn't the interviews matter?"No," he said. "Because the interviews are not going to decide who is going to receive the position." http://washingtonindependent.com/18104/obamas-boys-from-chicago In the days following his election, it has become clear that President-elect Barack Obama is bringing a little bit of Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley’s City Hall to Washington. The White House chief of staff will be Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.), a former Daley fund-raiser. Emanuel is stepping down from his district on the city’s northwest side to help Obama govern. Obama’s senior adviser will be David Axelrod, a long-time friend and ally who wrote speeches and ran campaigns for Daley for almost 20 years. And a key player on the Obama transition team is none other than William Daley, the mayor’s younger brother and rumored to be in line for a Cabinet post.
What will it mean for the country to have so many denizens of Chicago’s City Hall in charge? Well, speaking as a Chicagoan who’s been watching these guys for years, you can put aside any notion that the White House will be run by left-wing ideologues. By and large, this is a bunch of pragmatic deal makers who view ideology — especially extreme left-wing ideology — as a weakness.

Ray La Hood The Obama Gift to the Chicago Political Machine and Mayor Daley: http://www.usnews.com/blogs/barone/2009/2/2/the-obama-gift-to-the-chicago-political-machine-and-mayor-daley-ray-lahood.html?s_cid=rss:barone:the-obama-gift-to-the-chicago-political-machine-and-mayor-daley-ray-lahood
Ray LaHood Rick Moran spotlights one of the under-covered stories of the incoming Obama administration: O'Hare Airport. I don't take as dim a view as Moran does of Mayor Richard M. Daley's project of expanding O'Hare from four to eight runways and building a new terminal on the west side of the airport. It seems to me that Daley is acting in the spirit of his father. Transportation has been the key to Chicago's growth as a world city. In the middle 19th century the railroads did more than anything else to make Chicago what it became. In the middle 20th century the building of O'Hare, superintended in significant part by the late Mayor Richard J. Daley, did the same. The current Mayor Daley's project of expanding O'Hare is intended to do the same for the 21st century. Currently Britain is debating whether to build a third runway at Heathrow November saw the opening of the fifth runway at O'Hare. Unlike Moran, I like this kind of grand vision, and I don't think it's hugely tragic that a neighborhood of several dozen houses in Bensenville will have to be torn down (don't these people have to live with runway noise anyway?). In any case, O'Hare expansion is going forward. It's significant that so far the only member of Barack Obama's cabinet ever elected to office as a Republican is Ray LaHood at Transportation. LaHood was former Minority Leader Robert Michel's successor in the 18th District of Illinois, a completely honest but also get-along-go-along Republican who served on the Appropriations Committee. The chances that he will not facilitate O'Hare expansion are, I think, precisely zero. His appointment was a gift not so much to House Republicans as to Mayor Daley.
