Barack Obama, the man elected president
WASHINGTON – A bill approved by the House of Representatives and referred to the Senate would prohibit federal employees of the executive branch from being compelled to release any document unless a court makes a specified determination by a preponderance of evidence – legislation at least one group suspects is designed to protect Barack Obama’s elusive birth certificate from release.
The legislation, HR 985, resides in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Sovereignty Alliance has issued a “red alert” about the bill it calls “stealth legislation … to protect Obama from providing his birth certificate.”
“It wouldn’t surprise me a bit if this were one of the intended consequences of this legislation,” said Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND, who last week initiated a national billboard campaign to bring attention to the issue of Obama’s missing birth certificate and what it might say about his claim to be a “natural born citizen,” a status necessary to serving in the White House.
“In any case, this bill puts the lie to this administration and this Congress being the most ethical and transparent in American history,” Farah said. “They’re very open when it comes to the secrets of previous administrations, but when it comes to their own work, it is shrouded in secrecy. Even the president’s birth certificate and student records are well-guarded state secrets.”
Farah launched a petition campaign several months ago that has collected nearly 400,000 names of Americans demanding answers as to Obama’s eligibility. Last week he called for financial support of a new campaign to erect billboards around the country asking the simple question: “Where’s the birth certificate?”
In just five days, the billboard campaign has been backed by about $45,000 in donations.
Likewise, Farah points out, the nearly 400,000 petitioners represents more people than live in any of the following U.S. cities:
St. Louis, Missouri
Tampa, Florida
Anaheim, California
Cincinnati, Ohio
Toledo, Ohio
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
New Orleans, Louisiana
Newark, New Jersey
Birmingham, Alabama
Madison, Wisconsin
Orlando, Florida
Reno, Nevada
Richmond, Virginia
Des Moines, Iowa
Little Rock, Arkansas
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Salt Lake City, Utah
Providence, Rhode Island
Kansas City, Kansas
Hartford, Connecticut
Springfield, Illinois
Berkeley, California
Green Bay, Wisconsin
Both efforts are part of what Farah calls an independent “truth and transparency campaign.”
The money is being used to erect billboards around the country that ask a simple question: “Where’s the birth certificate?”
The first such sign to be posted under the 5-day-old campaign, a digital, electronic one, is up and online on Highway 165 in Ball, La. – the result of a donation by the owner. In addition, based on the heavy volume of financial donations in the first two days of the campaign, WND was able to commit to leasing two more standard billboards – one in Los Angeles and the other in Pennsylvania. It will take several weeks to get those billboards up because of the vinyl printing and shipping involved.
Birth certificate question being raised in Ball, La.
The “Certification of Live Birth” posted online and widely touted as “Obama’s birth certificate” does not in any way prove he was born in Hawaii, since the same “short-form” document is easily obtainable for children not born in Hawaii. The true “long-form” birth certificate – which includes information like the name of the birth hospital and attending physician – is the only document that can prove Obama was born in Hawaii, but to date he has not permitted its release for public or press scrutiny.
“I know now, because of the sensational response to this idea from WND viewers, that this national campaign is going to be big and long-lasting,” said Farah. “I want to thank all of those who have pitched in and contributed – with either cash donations or, in some cases, space donations. But the need for money continues.”
While the campaign is off to a great start, many viewers have asked why Obama’s name is not included in the billboard. Farah said the matter was carefully considered.
“There are several reasons we chose the message: ‘Where’s the birth certificate?’” he explained. “There is only one birth certificate controversy in this country today – despite the near-total absence of this issue from coverage in the non-WND media. This is a grass-roots issue that resonates around the country, as our own online petition with nearly 400,000 signers suggests. In addition, I like the simplicity of the message. I like the fact that the message will cause some people to ask themselves or others about the meaning of the message. It will stir curiosity. It will create a buzz. I’m assuming when these billboards are springing up all over the country, it might even make some in the news media curious. And there’s one more factor that persuaded me this was the way to go.
“Come 2012, campaign laws will pose restrictions on political advertising mentioning the names of presidential candidates. This one clearly doesn’t. I would like to see the federal government make the case that this is somehow a political ad,” he said.
Farah said the campaign was born of frustration with timid elected officials in Washington, corrupt judges around the country and a news media that show a stunning lack of curiosity about the most basic facts of Obama’s background – especially how it relates to constitutional eligibility for the highest office in the land.
“As Obama transforms this country from self-governing constitutional republic to one governed by a central ruling elite, the simple fact remains that no controlling legal authority has established that he is indeed a ‘natural born citizen’ as the Constitution requires,” Farah said. “Obama’s promises of transparency have become a bad joke as he continues to hide simple, innocuous documents like his birth certificate and his student records.”
The idea behind the billboard campaign is to make sure Obama cannot avoid this question any longer. He must be asked to produce it at every turn, Farah says. Billboard space is currently being hunted in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Sacramento, San Francisco, New York-New Jersey, Des Moines, Seattle and other metro areas.
Farah said another early target for the campaign would be billboards in Honolulu – allegedly Obama’s birthplace.
“Is it unusual for a news agency to launch such a campaign?” asks Farah. “Yes it is. But we live in very unusual times. The founding fathers built special protections into the First Amendment for the free press. The reason they did that is because they understood a vibrant ‘Fourth Estate’ was necessary as an independent watchdog on government. It is in that tradition that WND assumes this role – since nobody else in the press will do it.”
WND previously launched a petition campaign that has collected more than 370,000 names demanding Obama’s eligibility be verified and demonstrated publicly. That campaign continues. That list has been shared with members of the Electoral College and the chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.
“I wish such a campaign were not absolutely necessary,” said Farah. “I wish there were checks and balances in our political and electoral systems to ensure that constitutional eligibility of presidential candidates was established before politicians could assume the highest office in the land. I wish my colleagues in the news media believed the Constitution really means what it says and pressed this issue as hard as we have pressed it at WND. I wish radio talk-show hosts were bold enough to ask this question. But wishing is not enough. It’s time to raise the visibility of this issue vital to the rule of law in America. I ask everyone to pitch in and help WND make a simple yet profound statement: The Constitution still matters.”

BARACK OBAMA’S ‘PRIVACY RIGHTS’: ‘Exclusive: Joseph Farah uses Hawaii law to argue for release of O’s birth certificate’!–Posted on WND.com-By JOSEPH FARAH-On March 16, 2011:
To hear it told from the state of Hawaii and Barack Obama supporters, the reason we can’t see his birth certificate, and judge for ourselves whether or not he is constitutionally eligible to serve as president, is a matter of state laws written to protect personal privacy rights.
This raises a number of serious questions the rest of the press and most elected officials in Washington seem to want to avoid:
- Has a Hawaiian birth certificate become a source of national controversy?
- Does that birth certificate belong to the most visible and well-known public figure in the nation?
- Does that birth certificate form the basis for any serious determination as to that public figure’s constitutional eligibility to serve in the highest public office in the land?
- Has the state of Hawaii made official public representations about the nature of that birth certificate? On the edge of a constitutional crisis … learn the facts in WND’s comprehensive “Obama Eligibility Primer”
- Has the well-known public figure made representations about that birth certificate?
- Has the well-know public figure already released publicly other documents purporting to be official Hawaii birth documents?
- Does Hawaii routinely release birth announcements publicly to the press and public?
- Did Hawaii release a birth announcement publicly regarding this particular birth in 1961?
- Was the Hawaii privacy law that prevents anyone without a direct or tangible interest in seeing a particular birth certificate created to prevent misuse or abuse of a person’s personal information?
- Since Barack Obama has released his name, his alleged parents’ names, his date of birth, his address and his ethnicity in a short form certificate to bolster his campaign for the presidency, did he not establish with said release a tangible public interest in the long-form certificate?
- Since a particular hospital in Hawaii has, at various times, claimed for the purposes of fundraising and public relations concerns that it was the birthplace of Barack Obama, how can the hospital continue to hide behind privacy laws the information to support that claim?
- What possible privacy matters could be breached with the release of the long-form certificate that have not already been breached by the hospital, state officials and the No. 1 public figure himself?
Hawaii’s state constitution contains a section about personal privacy. It states that privacy of the individual shall not be infringed “without the showing of a compelling state interest.”
Recently, Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie announced his intention to seek that document. He asked the attorney general of the state to research the matter. Yet, unnamed officials in Hawaii have determined that, for some reason, Barack Obama’s birth certificate should remain top secret because of the Uniform Information Practices Act.
Let’s examine what that act actually covers and doesn’t cover:
- medical history, condition, and treatment;
- criminal law investigation, except where disclosure is necessary to prosecute or continue the investigation;
- eligibility for social services or welfare benefits;
- public employment personnel file type information;
- non-governmental employment history except where information qualifies a government employee for his or her position;
- financial information;
- professional and vocational licensee qualifications except;
- personal recommendations or evaluations;
- Social security numbers.
The office administering these policies has also determined that the individual has a significant privacy interest in his or her home contact information, date of birth and ethnicity.
Yet, under these guidelines, Hawaii has an obligation to release the long-form birth certificate because all of the relevant privacy matters have already been disclosed with the public release of the short-form certificate.
What possible privacy breaches could occur by releasing the long-form birth certificate – unless, of course, that information is actually different from what has been provided by Obama himself, the hospital claiming his birth, state officials and the newspaper announcements revealing his birth date, parentage and address?
In other words, Hawaii officials either can’t read their own laws, or they are actively involved in an extensive and elaborate cover-up of a matter of great public interest, national security and constitutional integrity – all the while claiming falsely their hands are tied by their own privacy laws.

‘Most transparent’ White House ever rewrote the FOIA to suppress politically sensitive docs!-Posted on Washington Examiner-By MARK TAPSCOTT-On March 18, 2014:
It’s Sunshine Week, so perhaps some enterprising White House reporter will ask press secretary Jay Carney why President Obama rewrote the Freedom of Information Act without telling the rest of America.
The rewrite came in an April 15, 2009, memo from then-White House Counsel Greg Craig instructing the executive branch to let White House officials review any documents sought by FOIA requestors that involved “White House equities.”
That phrase is nowhere to be found in the FOIA, yet the Obama White House effectively amended the law to create a new exception to justify keeping public documents locked away from the public.
A serious breach
The Greg memo is described in detail in a new study made public today by Cause of Action, a Washington-based nonprofit watchdog group that monitors government transparency and accountability.
How serious an attack on the public’s right to know is the Obama administration’s invention of the “White House equities” exception?
“FOIA is designed to inform the public on government behavior; White House equities allow the government to withhold information from the media, and therefore the public, by having media requests forwarded for review. This not only politicizes federal agencies, it impairs fundamental First Amendment liberties,” Cause of Action explains in its report.
Equities are everything
The equities exception is breathtaking in its breadth. As the Greg memo put it, any document request is covered, including “congressional committee requests, GAO requests, judicial subpoenas and FOIA requests.”
And it doesn’t matter what format the documents happen to be in because, according to Greg, the equities exception “applies to all documents and records, whether in oral, paper, or electronic form, that relate to communications to and from the White House, including preparations for such communications.”
Forget making FOIA deadlines
The FOIA requires federal agencies to respond within 20 days of receiving a request, but the White House equities exception can make it impossible for an agency to meet that deadline.
In one case cited by Cause of Action, the response to a request from a Los Angeles Times reporter to the Department of the Interior for “communications between the White House and high-ranking Interior officials on various politically sensitive topics” was delayed at least two years by the equities review.
“Cause of Action is still waiting for documents from 16 federal agencies, with the Department of Treasury having the longest pending request of 202 business days.
“The Department of Energy is a close second at 169 business days. The requests to the Department of Defense and Department of Health and Human Services have been pending for 138 business days,” the report said.
So much for “the most transparent administration in history.”
