Last chance to lobby for constitutional eligibility standard
Despite receiving more than 60,000 of our letters last week, the U.S. Supreme
Court announced on Monday that it had refused to review one of the cases
challenging the President-elect's eligibility to hold that office.
"That leaves it up to the Electoral College," says WND Editor Joseph Farah. "If
you want to do everything you can, like I do, to see that the letter and spirit
of the Constitution are upheld in this election year, this may be your last
chance to weigh in before Inauguration Day. I urge you to work with us in
sending letters to members of the Electoral College."
Here's Our Next Move:
Following up the campaign last week to FedEx the U.S. Supreme Court, WND today
announces a historic first in its quest to establish Barack Obama's eligibility
for office - a similar FedEx letter drive directed at individual Electoral
College members.
Through Thursday at noon Eastern, WND is providing an opportunity to Americans
who would like to contact electors of the next president before they vote
Monday to send Obama to the White House.
WND has obtained addresses for more than 87 percent of the 538-member Electoral
College. The letters will be sent FedEx to the 470 members for whom addresses
are available. They will all be delivered Friday morning, giving each elector
the weekend to consider the constitutional issues raised by Obama's presidency.
With the new "FedEx the Electoral College" program, you can reach all 470 with
a one-page pre-written letter, with your name and address attached, delivered
overnight for less than it would cost you to FedEx one member - if you had the
address.
"The idea was to make this very easy and inexpensive for Americans to make
their voices heard," explained Farah. "We encourage other creative ways to
prevail upon the consciences of the Electoral College members, but these are
not high-profile, public figures. They are ordinary Americans who are little
known to the public and who lead private lives. It is not easy to find their
names, let alone addresses. While we do not feel comfortable making those
addresses public, we believe this campaign will allow Americans to offer their
opinions and concerns in a controlled way, without violating the privacy of
individual members."
Farah personally drafted the letter that will be sent to the Electoral College
members above the name and address of all those participating in the program.
The letters sent in the "FedEx the Electoral College" campaign will read:
Electoral College Member
123 Main Street
Anytown, PA 12345
Dear member of the Electoral College:
Before you cast your vote Monday to make Barack Hussein Obama Jr. the next
president of the United States, please seriously consider the following:
Right now, a dozen lawsuits are pending all over the United States - including
one brought by a former presidential candidate and U.N. ambassador, and another
suit brought by a former deputy attorney general of Pennsylvania, plus there
are many others - all attempting to bring clarity to an issue that will haunt
an Obama presidency if it isn't dealt with now.
That issue, as you surely know, is the fact that the U.S. Constitution says
clearly and unambiguously in Article 2, Section 1 that presidents must be
natural born citizens. But, as is evident not only from lawsuits, but from news
stories and the actions of millions of Americans signing petitions, this
constitutional issue has not yet been addressed, even at this late hour.
Unfortunately, there isn't enough time for our slow-moving legal process to
deal with this before the Electoral College meets next week. Only you, our
Electors, have the power and responsibility - and the obligation under the
Constitution - to use your authority to establish, beyond any shadow of a
doubt, that Barack Hussein Obama Jr. qualifies for the office under that
standard.
There is grave and widespread concern throughout the American public that this
constitutional requirement is being overlooked and enforcement neglected by
state and federal election authorities. There should be no doubt whatsoever
that America's next president was truly born in the United States.
Remember, if the Constitution doesn't mean precisely what it says, then America
is no longer a nation under the rule of law. And a nation no longer under the
rule of law is, by definition, under the rule of men.
Therefore I urge you to honor the Constitution in this matter and uphold the
public trust - even if doing so may prove awkward or inconvenient.
All Americans should have confidence their president is eligible to serve. In
this unique and historic case, you may prove to be the Constitution's last line
of defense.
Sincerely,
Click Here to Rush Deliver This Letter to
470 Electoral College Members
The name and address of every participant in the "FedEx the Electoral College"
campaign will be displayed for the 470 Electoral College members who receive
the letters.
This is an historic opportunity to speak directly to the Electoral College at a
critical time in American history.
Sign me up! I want to send my FedEx message to the Electoral College right now
for only $10.95.
P.S. Remember, the Electoral College convenes Monday, Dec. 15, to determine who
the next president will be. After that, nothing stands in the way of a Barack
Obama presidency -- and another nail in the coffin of literal interpretation of
our Constitution. So act now!

With ACORN, La Raza, and Ohio Dem officials sitting on 20,000 suspect voter
registrations and other Dept heads releasing Joe the Plumber's confidential
information, this has been an incredibly, uncreditable election.
Hope you didn't waste your time and gas to stand in line at one of their
polling places hoping the electoral system isn't a fraud.
