Instead, a very similar document was delivered to fifty state DNC offices, which those offices certified to each of fifty state Election Commissions, who then date-stamped the document and stuck it in a file cabinet, and proceeded to place these "certified" candidates on the ballot.
The "Official Certification of Nomination" that was presented by the DNC in all fifty states for the 2008 Presidential election, in which Barack Hussein Obama became the new President of the United States, was almost identical, and it too was signed by Chair of the DNC Convention and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, DNC Secretary Alice Travis Germond and Notary of Public Shalifa A. Williamson, dated August 28, 2008.
But this version of the document was missing the following text, and I quote;
"- and that the following candidates for President and Vice President of the United States are legally qualified to serve under the provisions of the United States Constitution."
The legal certification text on the DNC certified nomination document used for the DNC ticket was limited to, and I quote;
"THIS IS TO CERTIFY that at the National Convention of the Democrat Party of the United States of America, held in Denver, Colorado on August 25 though 28, 2008, the following were duly nominated as candidates of said Party for President and Vice President of the United States respectively:

What is new is that they agree to hear the case. Previous dismissals were not because of facts but as quoted above "on procedural grounds".

Hi Annee
How are things?
The good news is Ð the Hawaii Certification proves that BOTH documents are authentic and official, that all matching signatures on BOTH documents are authentic and that the DNC used BOTH when only the one with constitutional text was necessary. It adds complete credibility to the story as both documents appear to have been not only drafted, signed and notarized by the DNC, but filed differently in different locations. Why not just file one version including the constitutional text?
Last, this story confirms that some form of a conspiracy to mislead and ultimately defraud voters took place at the top of the Democrat Party. No story in recent history is of greater gravity. Yet, some prefer to focus their attention upon John McCain, who was not only a well known war hero from a well known US Military family of distinction, but a Senate confirmed Natural Born Citizen who was NOT elected President. Others prefer to focus attention on a typo missed by spellchecker, and still others hope to derail the story by asserting that Hawaii's doc changes the only question raised by this report Ð Why TWO documents? Why eliminate constitutional text from any of them?

Have not heard her. But will take your word for it.
What radio stations or programs do you listen to? Where do you think you heard her?

Question - if you wanted to be President but didn't fit the citizenship criteria, would you really, I mean *really*, put out some crappy fake document that an eight grader could see through? Is that how you'd run your conspiracy?
Your point? You mean that because no one would put out an obvious fake, the doc must be real? Why put out an obvious fake? Because it is good enough for you and the others like you? I dunno.
Did you look at the video? Some of the doc is curved, that is ok. Some of the doc that should be curved is not curved. Because it is text that was added after it was scanned. That is what makes it look fake.
Have you done some reading or research?
Can you add something to the discussion? Do you have some facts that would explain the discrepancy? Can you look something up, and give a link or a quote, rather than just making something up? Is your Mom calling you for dinner?edit on 15-1-2012 by kawika because: corectolated spel'n err

I can tell your arguments are running out when you start making personal attacks instead of arguing the point. My point - which you failed to answer - was that if this really was a conspiracy to make President someone who didn't fulfil citizenship criteria, you'd expect them to do a better job with the evidence. I say again, if it were you, would you leave so much 'obvious' evidence of fraud? The birthers are simply cherry-picking perfectly insignificant visual details and claiming they prove something that they do not. It's the same cart-before-horse anti-logic that powers so many other conspiracy-fantasies.

Then there is nothing to fight about and the courts will prove BO is a legit President using the legal system that is set up to protect the innocent and we will all see how insignificant these details really are.

Your argument is basically 'If you've nothing to hide, you've nothing to fear'. But that's a reversal of the presumption of innocence. It's for the birthers to prove a hypothesis, and they've got nothing. The President has done what was asked of him, only for the birthers to shift the goalposts when their earlier demands were unexpectedly met. The truth is that no evidence will satisfy them, because they only want to hear that they're right.

Actually the birthers can prove their case. The evidence is overwhelming. From SSN that belong to a dead fellow to the identification of BO's father being born in Kenya when Kenya did not even exist in 1961 to the state officials stating that there is no long form in Hawaii records.
It's time to let the evidence prove the case one way or another. You deniers should want that also unless deep down you really know the truth and that being we have a natural born Kenyan President. But you all can keep shooting the messenger and see where that takes you. That's your standard MO.edit on 17-1-2012 by consciousgod because: (no reason given)

No, they can't prove their case. The evidence is overwhelming that... you have a US president. The standartd MO is on the part of the Birthers, who keep squeaking that they have a case. Kenya was a British colony in 1961, so it existed. Not that that actually matters, because Obama was born in Hawaii. The Birth certificate is quite plain - both long form and short form - the ads in the papers also make it plain. Case closed. Next!

How can Obama's daddy's birth country on his cert be Kenya when Kenya did not exist as a county in 1961. If the cert was truly prepared in 1961, the cert should indicate his father's birth country as British East Africa Protectorate. The country was not called Kenya until 1963.

Because they take the information they are given. Kenya was being formed - Obama's father considered himself Kenyan.
All this is already in previous birther threads.
