Obama said don't question my citizenship
This document is invalid. It does not display a certificate number or state seal. This document cannot be validated. It does not indicate date accepted by registrar but date filed by registrar. The document obama has produced has never been accepted by the registrar but only filed by registrar. If it was valid obama could confirm he had his original long form certificate of live birth ammended.
Obama is claiming by displaying this fake certification of live birth that he was born in Hawaii. Nothing can be verified about his claims. His mother and father can't be verified. The hospital where he was born can't be verified. The registrar that did not accept his fake certification of live birth cannot be verified. The doctor attending his birth can't be verified. This is because only the long form certificate of live birth can be verified.
Obama has paid his lawyers millions to keep his long form under seal in Hawaii. All Americans must question why he has done this. All Americans must question why the document he has produced has no document number and no state seal. All Americans must question why obama has not answered the questions about where he was born.
........................................................................................
This is a valid certification of live birth. It has a certificate number and state seal. Obama's does not. These are not insignificant details. Without these two details displayed the document is invalid. It is so obvious.
.........................................................................................
It is not an original birth certificate.
It is a certificate of live birth (COLB) which was issued some time afterward, and is no more than an affidavit. Hawaii has long allowed this practice when births were in fact in other countries. The only verification done by Hawaii is that there was a birth, and it was live. That’s not the issue, however. The real issue is where he was born. Obama had the original document sealed, and that’s why everyone is saying he has not provided proof of his citizenship, which is correct. Americans must provide their birth certificate when they join the service, get married, apply for a driver’s license, and get their first job. Why is the president-elect immune from this law?
Other key evidences here that this is not an original document are the “OHSM 1.1 (Rev 11/01) LASER” footnote on the bottom left margin, signifying the a laser copy (document version 1.1) made by the Office of Health Systems Management in November 2001. This implies there was an earlier document. But there is something more subtle — a stamp on the reverse side, inked through the paper backwards. If you flip it horizontally and enlarge it, you can see the stamped date.
This stamped date would likely be the date of a requested copy. So basically, this is a copy (2006) of a copy (2001) of an affidavit (date?) of a possibly valid original. Sound complicated? It gets worse…much worse…
“A Certification of Live birth is nothing more than stating, not proving you were born, it does not prove your citizenship status or anything else.”
Two sides of the official story states that Obama was born in either Kapiolani Medical Center or The Queen’s Medical Center in Hawaii.
If obama would produce his original long form certification of live birth we would know even if obama doesn't know what hosptial he was born in.
He’s a socialist/communist deceiving the American sheeple, and convincing them that he knows what’s best for them, and that the American electoral system still plays fair. He’s the wolf in sheep’s clothing, the jackal in the henhouse, waiting and poised to pass through bill after bill stripping America away of its resources, its rights and its very soul itself.
Barry Saetoro, the president who dares to lie about even his own name.

President Obama today at the National Prayer Breakfast raised the issue of his own eligibility for office – saying that people shouldn't be questioning his "citizenship."
Talking about the issue of "civility," he said, "Now, I am the first to confess I am not always right. Michelle will testify to that. But surely you can question my policies without questioning my faith, or, for that matter, my citizenship."
...........................................................................................
Barry you are almost never right, in fact you are almost always wrong.
Your policy of deceiving America by not producing a vaild certificate of live birth and not the certification of live birth your web site says is proof you are NOT a valid US citizen.
Your policy of displaying a picture only of your certification of live birth and nothing else is enough to make any sane person question who you are.
Your US citizenship is in question because you have not provided any valid way to confirm your citiznship.
The certificate of live birth does not contain any information that can be validated.
I know you are a FRAUD. Many other Americans know you are a FRAUD also. You can't prove who you are. You have not proved who you are.

Logical fallacies
Lawyers learn about the logical fallacies in law school.
Logic is a tool to help people arrive at dependable conclusions. Logic is related to such disciplines as epistemological protocol, scientific methodology, and rules of evidence.
Like most tools, logic can be used for good or evil. Lawyers will sometimes use what they learned about logical fallacies to create false impressions rather than reveal the truth.
This is exactly what obama has done and is doing.
Propagandists and PSYOPS agents are very skilled at using logical fallacies to influence “target audience's value systems, belief systems, emotions, motives, reasoning, and behavior”.
How do they twist the truth and attempt to pollute your mind?
The false syllogism
A syllogism ("conclusion," "inference"), (usually the categorical syllogism) is a kind of logical argument in which one proposition (the conclusion) is inferred from two others (the premises) of a certain form. An example of an accurate syllogism is:
Major premise: All of obama's statements are valid.
Minor premise: Obama is valid.
Conclusion: Obama tells the truth.
Major premise: All of Hawaii's birth certificates are valid.
Minor premise: Obama's has presented a certification of live birth.
Conclusion: Obama's must be valid just because Hawaii has issued one.
Slavery was work and slavery was evil, therefore all work is evil. It is more moral to be on welfare.
Vietnam War was a bad war, therefore all wars are bad wars.
Fortunately, most of Obama’s Logical fallacy PSYOPS agents aren’t very skillful.
The trademark personal insult, name calling, ridicule, and ad hominem attacks characterize the debate style of Obama’s people That tactic has worked quite well on the ignorant and those who value feeling more than reason. Uninformed people voted for Obama. This is not new, transformational politics. This is the rise of a New American Fascism.
Often the best tactic is to ignore such low class debate tactics and simply say your piece without bothering to interact with ignorance and rudeness.
Bosom bombers: Women have explosive breast implants
These are the people obama defends. He is after all one of their "brothers."
Bosom bombers: Women have explosive breast implants.
LONDON – Agents for Britain's MI5 intelligence service have discovered that Muslim doctors trained at some of Britain's leading teaching hospitals have returned to their own countries to fit surgical implants filled with explosives.
Women suicide bombers recruited by al-Qaida are known to have had the explosives inserted in their breasts under techniques similar to breast enhancing surgery. The lethal explosives – usually PETN (pentaerythritol Tetrabitrate) – are inserted during the operation inside the plastic shapes. The breast is then sewn up.
Similar surgery has been performed on male suicide bombers. In their cases, the explosives are inserted in the appendix area or in a buttock. Both are parts of the body that diabetics use to inject themselves with their prescribed drugs.
The discovery of these methods was made after the London-educated Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab came close to blowing up an airliner on Christmas Day with explosives he had stuffed inside his underpants. (The fruit of kaboom bomber.)
Hours after he had failed, GCHQ – Britain's worldwide eavesdropping "spy in the sky" agency – began to pick up "chatter" emanating from Pakistan and Yemen that alerted MI5 to the creation of the lethal implants.
A hand-picked team was appointed by Jonathan Evans, the head of MI5, to investigate the threat. He described it as "one that can circumvent our defense."
Top surgeons who work in the National Health Service confirmed the feasibility of the explosive implants.
In a report to Evans, one said:
"Properly inserted the implant would be virtually impossible to detect by the usual airport scanning machines. You would need to subject a suspect to a sophisticated X-ray. Given that the explosive would be inserted in a sealed plastic sachet, and would be a small amount, would make it all the more impossible to spot it with the usual body scanner."
Explosive experts at Britain's Porton Down biological and chemical warfare research center told MI5 that a sachet containing as little as five ounces of PETN when activated would blow "a considerable hole" in an airline's skin which would guarantee it would crash.
(These terrorists want to destroy America. Obama wants to destroy America also by destroying the economy. He is a successful failure.)

Mayor Goodman reacts to President Obama's comments about Las Vegas
..........................................................................................
Mayor Oscar Goodman holds a press conference inside his downtown Las Vegas office Tuesday, February 2, 2010. Goodman was upset about the following statement made by President Obama: “When times are tough, you tighten your belts,” Obama said. “You don’t go buying a boat when you can barely pay your mortgage. You don’t blow a bunch of cash in Vegas when you’re trying to save for college.”
..........................................................................................
Mayor Oscar Goodman said obama "is a SLOW LEARNER". Obama made another STUPID IDIOT comment about Las Vegas. On the surface his comment sounds like it could only be made by a buffoon. Obama made the comment about vegas on purpose. He as I have said before is trying to destroy the US economy. The last time obama made a comment about vegas it did hurt the vegas economy. Obama's comments again about Las Vegas will damage the states economy. Obama is a successful failure. Obama is successfuly destroying the US economy. Its not that he is an idiot. This is his plan. Obama appears to be a slow learner but America is learning fast he is a COMMUNIST who is destroying the US economy! Story Reports

Obama makes a slow learner comment about Las Vegas
By Sun Staff
A year after President Barack Obama remarked during a town hall meeting that corporations using federal bailout money should stop visiting Las Vegas, he made a similar comment at another town hall today in reference to the down economy.
"This isn't how responsible families do their budgets. When times are tough, you tighten your belts," he said at a New Hampshire forum today. "You don't go buying a boat when you can barely pay your mortgage. You don't blow a bunch of cash in Vegas when you're trying to save for college. You prioritize. You make tough choices. And it's time your government did the same."
In response to criticism this afternoon, Obama wrote a letter to Sen. Harry Reid saying "there's no better place to have fun than Vegas." In his letter, which was addressed to "Harry," he wrote:
"I hope you know that during my Town Hall today, I wasn’t saying anything negative about Las Vegas. I was making the simple point that families use vacation dollars, not college tuition money, to have fun," Obama wrote. "There is no place better to have fun than Vegas, one of our country’s great destinations. I have always enjoyed my visits, look forward to visiting in a few weeks, and hope folks will visit in record numbers this year."
But Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman delivered a double-barreled verbal blast at Obama for telling people not to spend their money in Las Vegas during the town hall forum.
Obama is "no friend to Las Vegas" and "I think he has a psychological hangup about us," Goodman told reporters he gathered into his office at City Hall.
Goodman, whose face became red as he spoke at his desk, said he was "incredulous" when he heard that Obama had again attacked the city and that a simply apology was not enough this time to undo the damage.
"It has to be a real mea culpa and a promise not to do it again," Goodman said.
"You don't cite Las Vegas as the specific example each time you're talking about spending money. That's what I'm saying," Goodman said. "You could tell people they should save their money to send their kids to college. There's nothing wrong with that. And that's the end of the statement. You don't need 'and blow your money in Las Vegas.'"
Obama's comments last year that corporations using federal bailout money should stop visiting Las Vegas were part of the reason the area lost a chunk of its convention business, he said.
"I can't attribute the 341 lost meetings just to the president's comments. But I'll tell you one thing: He sure doesn't help us," Goodman said.
Shortly after Obama's remarks, Gov. Jim Gibbons fired at Obama's town hall comment.
"How dare he insult any American city," Gibbons said before meeting with Nevada school superintendents in Carson City today. "I'm writing a letter to him today telling him to tone down or temper his remarks about Las Vegas. This is another slap in the face of the hard-working families in Nevada."
Goodman today said there's nothing wrong with Las Vegas' infrastructure -- it's the fact that the economic downturn across the country is bringing fewer visitors, thus creating a 13 percent jobless rate.
"If you come to Las Vegas, you're going to get the best of everything," he said. "You're going to get the best shows. You're going to get the best food. You're going to do the best shopping. Stay at the nicest hotels. But the people aren't coming with money. That's the difference between now and maybe three years ago."
"Every time he talks about people spending money in Las Vegas, it has to hurt us," he said. "It's a natural consequence of his statement."
"He's got his own psychological quirk up there about Las Vegas," Goodman said. "That's our town, folks. You should be angry about it, too."
"I want the president to straighten this out," Goodman said. "If not, he's not welcome in my city, as far as I'm concerned. He's not our friend. I don't know about people in Nevada, but in Las Vegas, he's sure not our friend."
Goodman said he didn't care if he received criticism again for going after the president.
"What? Little weenies are going to criticize me? Forgetaboutit. I could care less about that," he said. "I'm the mayor, I'm trying to protect Las Vegas. And I don't care what these little pundits say."
"I think he has a psychological hangup about us," he said. Because apparently, these statements are not the ones that are on the monitors. He does fine on the monitors. You get him off the monitors and Las Vegas creeps into his mind. He's got a problem with us. I don't know what it is."
It was during a town hall meeting nearly a year ago, on Feb. 9, 2009, in Elkhart, Ind., that Obama said “you can’t go take a trip to Las Vegas or go down to the Super Bowl on the taxpayer’s dime.”
Obama Appoints Devout Muslim to Homeland Security Post
Obama Appoints Devout Muslim to Homeland Security Post. Obama is America's home grown terrorist.
Arif Alikhan, currently deputy mayor for the city of Los Angeles, was appointed as assistant secretary for the Office of Policy Development at the Department of Homeland Security.
.........................................................................................
WASHINGTON -- Al Qaeda can be expected to attempt an attack on the United States in the next three to six months, senior U.S. intelligence officials told Congress Tuesday.
The terrorist organization is deploying operatives to the United States to carry out new attacks from inside the country, including "clean" recruits with a negligible trail of terrorist contacts, CIA Director Leon Panetta said. Al Qaeda is also inspiring homegrown extremists to trigger violence on their own, Panetta added.
Panetta also warned of the danger of extremists acting alone: "It's the lone-wolf strategy that I think we have to pay attention to as the main threat to this country," he said.
.........................................................................................
.........................................................................................
Yes we know al queda has been helped by homeland security by the publishing of their airport security manual in DEC 2009. Homeland security said it was an accident, remember? This security manual exposed security procedures to all the terrorists. Homeland security effectivly gave the farm away. Now they are warning of attacks. Homeland security has a devout Muslim, Assistant Secretary for Policy Development in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Obama has appointed a muslim to protect us from what? Ourselves? Obama is now saying "clean" recruits will be the terrorists that homeland security should look for.
Obama again is saying all Americans no matter how ordinary are potential suspects as terrorists. Obama does not call them terrorists. He calls them other names.
Its a fact all the terrorists that have attacked America have been muslims except mcvay. Obama is a muslim
Obama is the threat that America should fear that will allow some muslim terrorist to set off a bomb or something. This will trigger the dictator obama to declare martial law. Obama has failed. When a total failure has the ability to stay in power by using force he will. Obama's only option to seize complete control of America is martial law. He has given his terrorist brothers a blueprint for success. Obama has given them the security manual. Its so obvious.
America has been set up to fail. Obama is a successful failure. Devoid of any purpose except the destruction of American freedom.

Muslim Democrats welcome Alikhan’s appointment
At a banquet/fundraiser for the Islamic Shura Council of Southern California last weekend, the first speaker was Arif Alikhan (Deputy Mayor ofLos Angeles - in charge of public safety for the city). He bid farewell, as he is going to take a post as Assistant Secretary at the Department of Homeland Security. Arif Alikhan is a devout Sunni and the son of Pakistani immigrants (here).
....speakers included Arif Ali Khan, the former Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles. He bid the attendees farewell as he prepared to leave the Los Angeles area for Washington, D. C. There he will serve as Assistant Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Professor Agha Saeed of the American Muslim Task Force (AMT) spoke of the aftermath of 9/11 and the struggle of the Muslim Community against the pervasive atmosphere of Islamophobia and hatred. It was a struggle against the tide - a very strong tide - to prevent Muslims in America from being marginalized and silenced.
Professor Saeed ....issued five demands from Muslims to the Department of Justice. These demands included a cessation to the infiltration by spies of mosques and an end to the introduction of agents provocateur. In addition there was to be a cessation of attempts to undermine Muslim groups such as the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR).
This is where Alikhan spoke? He was comfortable with this terror talk?
Why Alikhan? DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano noted Alikhan’s “broad and impressive array of experience in national security, emergency preparedness and counterterrorism.” I am not sure what she is talking about (neither is she, I am sure.)
Arif Alikhan was appointed Deputy Mayor of LA - picked from relative obscurity.
He began his career seven years ago, when he took a job with the Department of Justice hunting down computer hackers, crooks who were selling merchandise on Ebay at rock-bottom prices. In his former position as an assistant US attorney, Alikhan consistently did his work accurately and silently, never producing any headlines. But then he suddenly became one of the most important men in Los Angeles, America's second-largest city after New York.
He took the position of Deputy Mayor in November 2006. The year that the Congress went Democrat and history and America took a disastrous turn. How does an obscure bureaucrat a and devout Muslim come to the position of Deputy Mayor ofLos Angeles - in charge of public safety for the city? And now Assistant Secretary to DHS?
Un-indicted co-conspirator CAIR was thrilled at the appointment:
CAIR-LA Congratulates Calif. Muslim Appointed to DHS Post , Arif Alikhan will serve as Assistant Secretary for Policy Development
(LOS ANGELES, CA., 5/6/09) - The Greater Los Angeles Area chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-LA) today congratulated Arif Alikhan on his recent appointment as Assistant Secretary for Policy Development in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
"Congratulations to Mr. Ali Khan on this well-deserved appointment," said CAIR-LA Executive Director Hussam Ayloush. "Mr. Alikhan's new position reflects his and the community's dedication to helping preserve the security of our country. The American Muslim community can be proud of him."
In the past few weeks, American Muslim leaders have been urging the Obama administration to be inclusive and to reflect the diversity of our nation as he selects the most qualified public servants to fill important positions.
Back in 2007, Alikhan was instrumental in removing the Muslim terror tracking plan in LA.
The controversial Muslim 'Mapping' Plan of the Los Angeles Police Department is now "dead on arrival" according to Chief William Bratton.
"It is over and not just put on the side," said Chief Bratton in a meeting with the Muslim leadership of Southern California on Thursday, November 15th. The meeting was moderated by Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles, Arif Alikhan and attended by Deputy Chief Mike Downing.
Chief Bratton acknowledged the hurt and offense caused to Muslims and agreed to send a letter to the Muslim community announcing the official termination of the 'mapping' plan.
A major reason for the termination of the 'mapping' plan was the Muslim community's vociferous opposition and active civic engagement in making themselves heard beyond Los Angeles. Muslim organizations demonstrated a strong unity of purpose and message on the issue of 'mapping' that led to a position of strength for Muslims in the meeting. Those involved in the initial phases of this controversy were the Islamic Shura Council of Southern California, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Muslim Public Affairs Council, and Muslim Advocates.
Today, the people of Los Angeles spoke and the City of Los Angeles listened to the collective voice for justice and civil rights.
Obama appoints devout muslim to homeland security. Look up the meaning of a devout muslim.
The domestic enemy is barack obama and his administration. America has more to fear from this communist than any terrorists.

SUper ShEisser Barry Obama
Why is this boy hanging his head? Is it because he is pouting? Its obvious obama is not up to the job. Its all an act. He says he will not quit. This means he won't stop doing what he is doing which is destroying the economy.
The only thing that will get this tick to drop off is his removal from office. Its clear he thinks that everything revolves around him. Obama talks about listening to the American people but it is a scam. Obama cannot. He is hell bent on destroying everyone's job.
Yesterday I read an article in the paper. It was about school children being given extra food in their backpacks to take home for the weekend. This food was donated. It said some of these children were complaining of being sick. Some were having pains caused by hunger.
Schools make sure kids eat on weekends through private donations
Private donations feed these children because obama has taken the food out of these children's mouths. While obama is talking his high and mighty words that do NOTHING Americans are taking care of Americans without the help of government. It was government that caused the problem that government can't solve.
.........................................................................................
Nurses reported a steady stream of students complaining of stomach pains and headaches.
“They weren’t stomach aches. They were hunger pains,” said John Kirell, principal of Belleview Elementary in Rock Hill, where about 30 students receive the food packs every Friday.
BackPack Program
.........................................................................................
Many of these children are going hungry because of obama. Yes I blame obama. His policies have resulted in massive layoffs. He is responsible for children not having enought to eat.
It good times there are children through no fault of their own not able to have enough to eat because of various reasons including parents who can't or won't provide for them.
Because of obama millions of people are without jobs and must look to the government or others for help.
Obama's plan is to destroy the economy so people must be more dependent on the government for help.
Keep in mind obama only cares about himself. He will act like he cares about hungry children but he does not. If obama did care about hungry children he would have not caused massive layoffs and unemployment because of his policies.
Obama's economic policies have failed. They have failed on purpose. Not because he did not want them to. Obama wanted the economy to fail so he would have an excuse to expand government through borrowing billions of taxpayer dollars.
I can't blame obama for everything going bad.
I can blame obama for children going hungry because their parents cannot find work.
I can say obama has caused this. It is a fact.
People say just give the man a chance.
I tell them he has been given a chance. He has spent billions. In one year he has made the economy much worse. In one year unemployment has gone up not down.
Obama talks about saved jobs like he is helping people. Its all a scam. He must talk like he is doing something to improve the economy. Obama cooks the numbers and tells us the economy is improving. Its all BS. The economy is not improving. It can't, businesses won't hire because they are waiting to see what obama will do next. This is a crime. Obama is killing small business and all free enterprise. This is what the national chamber of commerce is telling Americans. This is what the national association of small businesses is telling America.
Thats all obama does, talk. He talks about helping people etc.
What he does is what counts. Talk is cheap like obama.
Mr obama you should hang your head low. You should walk like you are ashamed of yourself.
Its all an act. Obama will continue to make the economy worse. Obama will continue to make excuses for his failure and blame others including george bush.
No none but obama has taken the food out of the childrens mouths.
Obama is responsible for children being given free food in their back packs at school for the weekends.
OBAMA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CHILDREN GOING HUNGRY!
Obama is truly the SCUM of the earth.

Schools make sure kids eat on weekends. More students get food put in their backpacks on Fridays
.........................................................................................
By Gina Smith
The State
ROCK HILL — Each Friday afternoon, guidance counselor Frank Palermo quietly pulls students out of class at Rosewood Elementary in Rock Hill.
They follow him to his office and to a secret cabinet of food supplies. A chorus of childhood thank-yous breaks out as Palermo drops gallon-sized bags filled with food into each of their book bags.
Dry cereal.
Snack bars.
Cups of peaches.
Juice boxes.
Food that even small children can prepare on their own.
In a sign of South Carolina’s struggling economy, the Rock Hill school district and at least four Midlands school districts are participating in programs that feed students during the weekends.
“If we didn’t do this, these children wouldn’t get enough to eat over the weekend. Some wouldn’t get anything to eat at all,” said Serena Williams, a Rock Hill school district employee who oversees the secret food drops.
Sponsored solely through private donations, these “backpacking” programs provide food during weekends to the state’s growing number of poor children.
The Rock Hill school district and its foundation started the “Back the Pack Program” two years ago after a survey of teachers, nurses, guidance counselors and others found chronic hunger was one reason students were not achieving in the classroom.
Nurses reported a steady stream of students complaining of stomach pains and headaches.
“They weren’t stomach aches. They were hunger pains,” said John Kirell, principal of Belleview Elementary in Rock Hill, where about 30 students receive the food packs every Friday.
In the survey, teachers talked of students cleaning their plates at lunch time, then asking for scraps off of their fellow students’ plates.
Guidance counselors shared stories of mothers and fathers who had lost their jobs and could no longer put food on the table.
“We have a strict rule that food can’t leave the cafeteria,” Kirell said. “We knew there was a problem when it became worth the risk for children to put crackers or cheese sticks in their pockets and try to sneak it past their teachers.
“Children are forthright. When we ask, they tell us that they’re saving it for a snack at home or they’re taking it home for a younger brother or sister that isn’t in school yet,” he said.
Obama voted to kill a baby born alive while a state senator in Illinois so it should not be a surprise he would starve children also.

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
TO AFFIRM THE RIGHTS OF SOUTH CAROLINA BASED ON THE PROVISIONS OF THE NINTH AND TENTH AMENDMENTS TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION.
Amend Title To Conform
Whereas, the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights established a federal government limited in scope and guarantee of personal liberty so that our citizens will be free to pursue their inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as recognized in the Declaration of Independence; and
Whereas, the Ninth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people"; and
Whereas, pursuant to the Ninth Amendment, the people are guaranteed the right to privacy as a basic human right; and
Whereas, the delivery, administration, and receipt of medical care affects personal privacy and involves the most intimate and personal of choices; and
Whereas, the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people"; and
Whereas, the Tenth Amendment defines the limited scope of federal power as being that specifically granted by the United States Constitution; and
Whereas, pursuant to the Tenth Amendment, by limiting the scope of federal power to only those specifically enumerated in the United States Constitution, the states retain plenary power to govern; and
Whereas, despite the clear limitations placed upon it by the United States Constitution, the federal government has steadily expanded its reach into the lives of our citizens and, in so doing, violates the very principles upon which this nation was founded; and
Whereas, the United States Supreme Court has said that states have great latitude in regulating medical care and standards, which have historically and constitutionally been primary state responsibilities and affect areas of core state responsibility, yet Congress and the President are reaching agreement over legislation that will result in the federal government absorbing the regulation of medical care, stripping the states of most responsibility, and taking away the free choice of the citizens of the states; and
Whereas, the federal government has spent trillions of dollars of borrowed money to run deficits, to bail out financial institutions, to prop-up auto makers, and to keep afloat other private enterprises that were mismanaged, took unnecessary risks, or were unresponsive to market demands, thus amassing a debt that will loom over and burden our country for generations to come; and
Whereas, the federal government habitually responds to its annual budget shortfalls by burdening the states with unfunded mandates, shifting costs for programs to the states, limiting state flexibility, and interfering with state revenue systems, undermining the constitutionally created balance between federal and state government; and
Whereas, the United States Supreme Court has ruled that Congress may not simply commandeer the legislative and regulatory processes of the states, and that states may provide their citizens with protections that exceed the protections by the federal government; and
Whereas, the United States Supreme Court has ruled that the United States Constitution allows states to grant rights to their citizens in their state constitutions, beyond rights granted in the federal Constitution; and
Whereas, the United States Supreme Court has recognized that federal law restricting certain rights may be ineffective in denying those rights protected in state Constitutions; and
Whereas, the State recognizes that as an independent sovereign, the State along with the other states of the union took part in an extensive bargaining process through the adoption of the Constitution and the various amendments thereto, and like any other party to any other agreement, the State is bound to uphold the terms and conditions of that agreement. Through this agreement, the states have collectively created the federal government, limiting the scope of its power and authority, as well as ensuring that certain fundamental rights are guaranteed. Also, through this process the federal judiciary has interpreted the Fourteenth Amendment to limit states' governmental authority by providing that important rights and protections afforded by the United States Constitution to the people as citizens of the United States are also extended to each person as a citizen of an individual state. Pursuant to that interpretation, this State is bound to uphold the principles and protections afforded by the Fourteenth Amendment which guarantees the privileges and immunities of the United States, due process of law, and equal protection under the law; and
Whereas, the federal government is considering legislation that may, among other things, obligate residents in South Carolina and other states to purchase health insurance; and
Whereas, the federal government is considering legislation that may, among other things, mandate that this State and other states increase its spending for Medicaid; and
Whereas, the General Assembly of this State reaffirms that the people of this State, have collectively, through the exercise of their authority as citizens of a sovereign state determined the constitutional balance of power in this State; and
Whereas, the citizens of this State have exercised their sovereign authority both directly through the passage of this state's constitution and the amendments thereto and representatively through their duly elected representatives in the General Assembly, and the General Assembly exercises the power of the people without limitation except as provided by the State Constitution; and
Whereas, one of the most fundamental powers of any state in the exercise of its sovereignty is through the power of appropriation and under our state's constitutional balance of power, the power of appropriation is firmly placed within the province of the General Assembly; and
Whereas, the General Assembly rejects any attempt by the federal government, either through the actions of the Congress or the federal courts, to limit, alter, or otherwise affect in any manner whatsoever the General Assembly's sovereign exercise of the power of appropriation; and
Whereas, there is concern that the federal government will also overstep its authority and violate the Tenth and the Second Amendments of the United States Constitution by enacting far-reaching restrictions or even a ban on gun purchases and ownership; and
Whereas, the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution provides: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed"; and
Whereas, intervention by armed South Carolinians may prove to be the sole means for this State to protect the liberties guaranteed it and all other States under the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution; and
Whereas, due to the potential need for intervention by armed South Carolinians, the protections afforded under the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution are of upmost importance to the citizens of South Carolina and the State of South Carolina; and
Whereas, it is vitally important for the future of our nation that the states stand against the relentless expansion of the federal government and restore the proper balance to our federal system. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, claims for the State of South Carolina sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the United States Constitution.
Be it further resolved that it is the policy of the State of South Carolina that:
No law shall interfere with the right of a person to be treated by or receive services from a health care provider of that person's choice;
No law shall restrict a person's freedom of choice of private health care systems or private health care plans of any type;
No law shall interfere with a person's or an entity's right to pay directly for lawful medical services; and
No law shall impose a tax, penalty, or fine, of any type, for choosing a health care provider, to obtain or decline health care coverage or for participation in any particular health care system or plan.
Be it further resolved that it is the policy of the State of South Carolina that the Attorney General will challenge the constitutionality of any provision enacted by the United States Congress that would violate any of the policies established by this resolution and join with other states that are like-minded to make such a challenge.
Be it further resolved that no state agency, agent, department, instrumentality, or subdivision shall cooperate or participate in any way with any mandate passed by Congress upon notification by the Attorney General that the mandate has been successfully challenged in a court of competent jurisdiction, and further provided that there is not an order to the contrary by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Be it further resolved that the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, claims for the citizens of South Carolina and the State of South Carolina freedom from all laws and mandates that violate the rights granted under the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution.
Be it further resolved that this resolution serves as notice and demand to the federal government, as South Carolina's agent, to cease and desist immediately all mandates that are beyond the scope of the federal government's constitutionally delegated powers.
Be it further resolved that the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, affirms its support of the Ninth and Tenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.
Be it further resolved that copies of this resolution be forwarded to the President of the United States, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the President of the United States Senate, and each member of South Carolina's Congressional Delegation, all at Washington, D.C., and to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President of the Senate of the legislatures of the other forty-nine states.

Obama Czars Are Similar To Voodoo Priests
Obama's "voodoo" economics are not working. Obama is America's "earthquake disaster". Aid is on the way but won't arrive until Nov 2010.
..........................................................................................
Obama Czars Are Similar To Voodoo Priests. They seem to operate using the same principles. Voodoo incorporates pagan elements such as spell casting and calling spirits. Obama has appointed his "voodoo priests" or czars to "cast spells" on the economy. His czars efforts have resulted in a failure. Obama is similar to the Haiti's "supreme master" of voodoo. Believers worship hundreds of spirits called lwa. Other beliefs include that trees have spirits. Obama and his radical "environmentalists" worship "mother earth" via "climate change" and "global warming".
All of obama's activities are centered around his "voodoo economics" of saving the earth. Obama can be though of as the witch doctor of failure. Everyday he is trying to conjure some spell up about global warming and tying it into the economic disaster he has created. What will the voodoo whitch doctor priest obama do next. American business are afraid to hire or plan for the future because of obama voodoo economics.
As long as obama is in office and continues to cast his voodoo economic spells the economy will not recover. It will only improve when the voodoo economics of obama have ceased.

Haiti earthquake: voodoo high priest claims aid monopolised by Christians
..........................................................................................
Haiti's voodoo high priest has claimed believers have been discriminated against by evangelical Christians who are monopolising aid sent to the earthquake-stricken country.
By Nick Allen in Port-au-Prince
Published: 7:00AM GMT 01 Feb 2010
Max Beauvoir, Haiti's "supreme master" of voodoo, alleged his faith's opponents had deliberately prevented much-needed help from reaching followers of the religion, which blends the traditional beliefs of West African slaves with Roman Catholicism.
"The evangelicals are in control and they take everything for themselves," he claimed. "They have the advantage that they control the airport where everything is stuck. They take everything they get to their own people and that's a shame.
"Everyone is suffering the same and has the same needs. We are not asking for anything more than anyone else. We're just asking for it to be fair."
Mr Beauvoir, 75, a Sorbonne-educated biochemist, spoke as a first convoy of aid arrived at his home in Mariani, a town just outside Port-au-Prince. It contained 400 sacks of rice from the World Food Programme and was mobbed by hundreds of hungry voodoo believers.
"It is the first delivery and it took a couple of weeks fight to get that for the voodoo people," said Mr Beauvoir.
At the weekend hundreds of voodoo houngans, or priests, gathered in the northern town of Gonaives to plan how to react to the earthquake that left an estimated 200,000 people dead on Jan 12.
Following the earthquake the US television evangelist Pat Roberston said Haiti made a "pact with the devil" 200 years ago when it defeated French colonists.
"I don't know much about him and I don't think I'm losing much," said Mr Beauvoir. "Voodoo as been discriminated against for 200 years.
"It was developed by our ancestors, it is a way of life. To ask us to stop would be like asking an American to stop heating hamburgers."
He also rejected the idea that voodoo consists of human sacrifices and sticking pins in dolls.
"That's Hollywood voodoo," he said. "No-one from Hollywood has ever sent an anthropologist to study voodoo in Haiti."
In Haitian voodoo, God is supreme and is not involved in human affairs.
Believers instead worship hundreds of spirits called lwa. Other beliefs include that trees have spirits.
As she waited for rice from the WFP Monique Henri, 36 wore a cross round her neck but she also believes in voodoo. She said she had an image of Ogu Feri , the voodoo god of metal and fire, at her home .
"The earthquake happened because people were sinners so God was angry, because people did wrong," she said..
Clavarus Filisca, 72, a houngan, invokes the spirit of Jambe Male to heal people of fevers, headaches and other maladies. "Voodoo is the most important religion. It's natural, it's everywhere," he said.
Mr Beauvoir rejected the suggestion that the earthquake was an act of God. He says it was a natural event but many voodoo followers still believe it was a punishment.
Christians have also been inundating radio stations asking anyone who has committed a crime to confess, thereby saving the nation from future disasters.
Inspiration, an evangelical station, said 11,000 people had rung up to pledge themselves to God since the earthquake.
Missionaries equating voodoo with devil worship have long tried to convert the population of Haiti but the religion, a mixture of Christianity and animism, remains ingrained. Like Christianity it has one God but incorporates pagan elements such as spell casting and calling spirits.
Mr Beauvoir’s grand house, the Peristyle de Mariani, is a voodoo temple where followers dance around a totem pole in the grounds to the sound of drums. Bonfires are lighted to attract spirits and the blood of animals, including goats and chickens, is drained and used to heal the sick.
(Actually this is very similar to obamanomics or voodoo economics. The white house has been turned into the obama grand house and Americans are being drained of their money and freedoms. Story Reports)
However, since the earthquake, he has halted all ceremonies. “This is a big shock for people to absorb,” he said. Voodoo ceremonies are still going on in the countryside.
The elaborate ceremonies include secret languages, people dancing after being possessed by spirits and talismans including dried animal heads.
In rural areas there are said to be people who practice the darker side of voodoo, summoning evil spirits. However, practitioners argue that voodoo is a force for good.
Kompe Filo, one of the most popular TV and radio personalities in Haiti, and a vocal believer, said voodoo predicted the earthquake six months ago.
He said: “God is angry against humanity, not just Haiti but all humanity. This is a message that man must change, and reconnect with the natural world around him.
“We have a lot of beliefs modern people should believe in. For example we believe that trees have spirits which we should not harm otherwise we will all suffer.”
(Note the last line. Exactly the same line that radical environmentalists use when telling us the erath must be saved from humans. Obama uses a very similar line to promote socialism/communism. He is always telling Americans its their fault he has failed. Obama in fact is a successful failure.

TARP special inspector general Neil Barofsky said that the Troubled Asset Relief Program has failed
TARP's not working
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The watchdog charged with monitoring the government's $700 billion bailout unleashed one of his harshest criticisms of the program to date, questioning its overall effectiveness.
In his latest quarterly report to Congress, special inspector general Neil Barofsky said that the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, has failed to boost bank lending as well as halt the spread of foreclosures -- two key aims of the sprawling program.
"Whether these goals can effectively be met through existing TARP programs is very much an open question at this time," Barofsky said in the report.
When Congress enacted TARP, the hope was that injecting capital into hundreds of banks would spur lending and keep the economy from spiraling even deeper into recession.
But since then, lending to both consumers and businesses has continued to decline.
Barofsky, whose office has been closely tracking the evolution of TARP, also criticized the Obama administration's Home Affordable Modification Program.
Even as Treasury allocated $35.5 billion towards that foreclosure-prevention program as of the end of last year, only 66,500 homeowners have received permanent modifications, with another 787,200 homeowners in trial modifications.
Under fire for the low number of people receiving long-term help, the Treasury Department in late November ramped up pressure on servicers to convert borrowers to permanent modifications.
Still, there is no sign that the rate of foreclosures is slowing down anytime soon. Earlier this month, RealtyTrac, the online marketer of foreclosed homes, reported that foreclosure filings surged to a record 3 million in 2009, up 21% from 2008.

Letter in Support of the Thune Amendment to end TARP
January 21, 2010
Dear Senator:
On behalf of the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the nation’s largest small business advocacy organization, I am writing in support of Senator Thune’s amendment to the debt limit bill (S.J. Res. 45) to end the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and require the federal government to reduce the federal debt with any returned TARP funds.
The $700 billion TARP program was initially passed in 2008 with the intention to prevent the insolvency of major U.S. financial institutions by cleaning up their balance sheets, thereby reducing any further damage to our nation’s economy and credit markets. The statute permits the Treasury Department to commit funds until October 3, 2010, and to spend funds for these purposes after that date. While the full $700 billion has not been allocated yet, almost $370 billion has been disbursed and the Treasury Department has already expanded the program beyond its original purpose. For instance, the Treasury Department has loaned TARP funds to auto companies and created new federal programs to serve various purposes.
Small business believes it is time to end TARP by passing the Thune amendment. We appreciate Senator Thune’s efforts to create an exit strategy for the unprecedented level of government ownership in American businesses. The full $700 billion that was originally allocated for TARP is no longer needed and should not be used as a bucket of money for the Treasury Department to create new federal programs.
Ending TARP and paying down the federal debt with returned TARP funds would signal to small businesses that Congress is beginning to get its fiscal house in order. If these debt levels are not addressed, small businesses will face a future of high interest payments, increased taxes, and reduced investment opportunities. Small business needs Washington to just get out of the way so they can get back to growing their businesses and creating jobs.
We look forward to working with Congress to end TARP. NFIB may consider the vote on the Thune amendment a Key Vote for the 111th Congress.
Sincerely,
Susan Eckerly
Senior Vice President

The full $700 billion that was originally allocated for TARP is no longer needed and should not be used as a bucket of money for the Treasury Department to create new federal programs.
Ending TARP and paying down the federal debt with returned TARP funds would signal to small businesses that Congress is beginning to get its fiscal house in order. If these debt levels are not addressed, small businesses will face a future of high interest payments, increased taxes, and reduced investment opportunities. Small business needs Washington to just get out of the way so they can get back to growing their businesses and creating jobs.
We look forward to working with Congress to end TARP. NFIB may consider the vote on the Thune amendment a Key Vote for the 111th Congress.
Sincerely,
Susan Eckerly
