By Miki Booth

Dear Friends,

It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that Victoria passed away this morning at 4:15AM after a sudden illness. She is survived by her daughter, Deborah Rhodus, her mother, Betty Pugh, both of Colorado and 3 grandchildren. Prior to moving to Richmond, VA, Victoria lived in San Diego, Denver and Amarillo. Victoria ran a blog entitled, “Windsor’s America” on the website, “Richmond Patriots” or “The Patriots.” She was a champion for liberty defending the Constitution and instrumental in exposing corruption in the state of Virginia and criminal activity in and of the Obama administration. Victoria fought the good fight for our country and now deservedly and peacefully rests with God.

BUT WE WILL NOT FORGET HER AND WHAT SHE STOOD FOR

by Sharon Rondeau

Victoria is now “in the palm of His hand”

(Jul. 11, 2012) — The Post & Email has been told by a close friend that Victoria passed away at 4:15 EDT this morning. We extend our deepest condolences to her family and friends, of which there were many.

Victoria was active on blogs and newspapers in the constitutional arena. She was an excellent researcher, particularly in the area of ancestry. One of the last emails The Post & Email received from her stated that she had found evidence that the records of Madelyn Payne Dunham and Stanley Armour Dunham had been “tampered with.”

Victoria had also performed extensive research on the background of then-presidential candidate Rick Santorum in an attempt to determine if he met the definition of “natural born Citizen” found in Article II, Section 1, clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution. It was believed that Santorum’s father had not naturalized prior to his son’s birth. Santorum dropped out of the race on April 10 but could be a candidate for vice president. The vice president must qualify under Article II in order to assume the duties of the president in the event of the president’s “removal, death or resignation” under the 25th Amendment.

The last email exchanged between this writer and Victoria was on April 15. Although something seemed amiss, it was not identifiable. Others had also begun to notice that something was different. We believe that Walter Francis Fitzpatrick, III was one of the last people in our community to speak with her before she was hospitalized. Fitzpatrick has had her in his prayers since learning of her illness.

Victoria was very concerned about the signs of Sharia law taking hold in the United States and introduced us to a knowledgeable person on the subject.

Over the last several months, Victoria had been involved in a new project which we do not believe she was able to complete.

She was a strong moral supporter of all of her friends. Last fall, when this writer was experiencing some personal challenges, Victoria was one of the few people in whom we confided. She would sign her name with just a “V.” In one of her messages about the subject, she said, in part:

Stay warm and safe. Your spirit is brighter now, I can hear it in your words. V

Victoria also provided assistance to this writer and others upon the receipt of death threats in June of last year through her research on cyberstalking laws. She stood up for what was right and always showed concern for others. Ever vibrant and energetic, it was a shock to this writer to learn approximately three weeks ago that she was gravely ill.

Upon the death of this writer’s father last July, Victoria sent a lovely note, to which we responded, in part:

The way in which you have expressed your thoughts to me has great meaning, and I take comfort from your words.

She was also supportive of others who have lost loved ones during the past year.

We never met her, but we are told she was beautiful, with blue eyes and long blond hair. We were told she looked much younger than her actual age.

We pray that her journey was a warm and safe one. We take comfort in knowing that she is now in repose with He Who “raises us up on eagle’s wings and holds us in the palm of His hand.” Rest well, dear friend.

Tea Party Tribune message for Independence Day

9:20 pm in 4th of july, Announcements, baseball game, bottle rocket, burgers, freedom and liberty, Headlines, hotdogs, lexington and concord, spotlight by Ken Crow

As we all enjoy our burgers, hotdogs and fireworks on this 4th of July, please do take a moment and say thank you to those patriot’s that gave us this day. Without those that sacrificed so much at Lexington and Concord, we would not be enjoying that pool side BBQ tomorrow or that baseball game under the banner of our flag of freedom and liberty.

We at the Tea Party Tribune want to remind each of you, boat safely, drive safely and be careful where that bottle rocket lands. Remember to do it with the passion of liberty in your hearts and do it sober. We don’t want any of our patriot’s getting hurt or worse yet, hurting someone else. We are going to need all of you in November. God Bless and have a great holiday!

Sheriff Joe set to release more Obama ‘shockers’

Arpaio schedules another news conference on eligibility

Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his Cold Case Posse investigating Barack Obama’s presidential eligibility have been promising more major revelations since their March 1 press conference, and now another event has been scheduled to unveil new information.
Arpaio told Tea Party Tribune a press conference will be held July 17 at 2:30 p.m. local time at the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office in Phoenix, Arizona.

WND.com will be live streaming this news conference.
The Tea Party Tribune will also be there covering this breaking news event and have exclusive video and interviews to post. The evidence will include information gathered in the posse’s recent investigative trip to Hawaii as well as an update on the ongoing investigation.

At the March 1 conference, Arpaio and his Cold Case Posse announced there is probable cause that the document released by the White House in April 2011 purporting to be Obama’s original, long-form birth certificate is a forgery. The posse said it also found probable cause that Obama’s Selective Service registration form is fraudulent.
Join with Sheriff Arpaio is his work to uncover the truth by donating to the Cold Case Posse expenses.
WND reported last month that a letter from Hawaii’s Department of Health verifying Obama’s birth in Honolulu has “opened the door” to some “shocking revelations” the posse is promising to disclose.

Among the details leaked early by Cold Case Posse lead investigator Mike Zullo: There are allegedly several stamps bearing Registrar Alvin Onaka’s name “floating around” inside the Hawaii Department of Health.
“I can’t disclose to you what we’ve discovered, but it’s going to be a shocking revelation at our press conference,” Zullo told Tea Party Power Hour host Mark Gillar in a telephone interview from Hawaii.

Sign the petition now to show members of Congress how many Americans demand constitutional integrity.
Three weeks after the March 1 press conference, Arpaio said there was “tons” more potentially shocking information on Obama in connection with his probe into the president’s eligibility.

Zullo has said he and his investigators have reservations about a letter stamped with Onaka’s name that was sent to Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett as verification of Obama’s Hawaiian birth.
Zullo said the letter fails to list Obama’s birth date, and it’s merely stamped with the registrar’s name, while another set of initials – not Onaka’s – appears next to the signature.

Does anyone really know where Obama is from? Find out the startling truth from New York Times best-selling author Jerome Corsi.
“From what you’re telling me,” Gillar said, “it sounds like the next press conference is going to be even more amazing than the last press conference back on March 1st.
“It will be,” Zullo responded. “The information … is going to be breathtaking when it’s released.”

 

Below is the Cold Case Posse press release video from March 1st, 2012.
This press release was taped by the Tea Party Tribune.

Melissa Hegemann May needs your help now!

Melissa Hegemann May, needs your help now!

“I am in need of a prosthetic leg. I can’t pay the costs after insurance. I just want to be part of my family again. My kids need me. Please help”

Military mom, veteran’s wife in need

My name is Melissa. I have made a campaign to help with the co-pay of my prosthetic leg. We have a rather large co-pay and with being a family with small kids, and a military family we have not been able to come up with the money on our own. That is why I am asking all you great people out there for help. I have also had to quit my job because I can no longer wear the current prosthetic. I cannot get the new one until I can afford the co-pay.
It is so important to me to regain my mobility and live a normal life. I need to be the person I know I can be for my kids and for my husband. I have a 4 year old and 2 year old and they need a mom who can be able to at least function within the home. My husband is such a hard worker and it has been such a burden on him. After he comes home from work he has to do all the chores and errands because I cannot.

By contributing you would be giving me back my life, my freedom, the kids back their mom, a husband back their wife, and help with the depression that comes with loss of independence.

Specifically my prosthetic needs a new top. The plastic shell that my amputated leg goes in needs to be replaced. This is what is making it unwearable. The knee, which is $50,000, also needs to be replaced do to wear and tear.

Please find it in your heart to give a little. I cannot thank you enough in advance. God bless you and thank you all for your support during this crisis in our lives.

 

About Mellisa:

I am Melissa. I am a mother of 2 wonderful kids, Maddy and Eli who are 4 years old and 2 years old. I have a great husband who is an Iraqi war veteran. We are natives of Burlington, Wisconsin and are currently living in south Texas due to his job.

 

From TPT Admin:

Dear fellow Patriots,

I know that times are tough but, Melissa and her family need our immediate help!
Please visit this website and contribute generously to help Melissa get her prosthetic leg.

Celebrating Liberty Festival and Joe the Plumber:Update 6/3/12

10:48 am in Announcements, Events, The Tea Party, Views by Ken Crow

America’s Favorite Plumber made it official this past week. Joe Wurzelbacher aka “Joe the Plumber”, who confronted then-candidate Barack Obama on wealth re-distribution and became a household name, has decided to run for the United States Congress. The part about running for Congress you already know. Joe announced that months ago. Here’s the brand-new part of this story: ” Joe the Plumber will be speaking at the Celebrating Liberty Festival, in Moriarty, NM”!

A quick side story about Joe
Last year, I met Joe at the Des Moines, IA, airport. I had to run out to the airport to pick up Mr. Herman Cain, who was then working Iowa pretty hard for their upcoming caucuses. We had a Tea Party rally that day on the steps of the Iowa Capitol in downtown Des Moines. As Mr. Cain walked from his private plane to the airport building, I glanced over at a fellow standing beside me and asked, “Who is that with Mr. Cain?”. Joe the Plumber, was the answer. I got a chance that day to speak with him on a litany of topics, everything from Obamacare to taxes, even a bit about foreign policy– mainly, how badly Obama was handling Israel and the Middle East.

It took about twenty minutes for us to arrive at the Capitol. I’ve got to take my hat off to Joe and Mr. Cain for one thing. They had come from the balmy confines of Georgia that day, with no idea it was going to be 31 degrees out with a stiff breeze coming out of the north. They only had their sports coats and dress shirts with them. Poor Joe and Mr. Cain suffered through our Des Moines “Iced Tea Rally”. But did either one have a derogatory word to say about that frigid experience they endured? No! Tough is an understatement. These guys are tough! In contrast, I wore goose down, and donned gloves. Even I was cold. But those two gave rousing speeches about Government over reach and the stupidity of Obama’s spending practices, and shook every hand with grace.

One last thought about Joe. During this campaign, you have already heard the elitists say quite a few nasty things about Joe. I have zero doubt that this will continue. What are they saying? Joe is not smart enough to be a Congressman. WRONG!

He brings something that is sorely missing in Washington, D.C. these days. I call it Horse Sense! Right now, we have hundreds of people with Harvard degrees up on Capitol Hill. We have PHD’s running out our collective backsides in everything from Political Science, Economics, Health Care and a roster of other topics. And what have we as a nation gotten for all this brilliant education? A $16 trillion-dollar debt, a screwed-up health care system, national borders with more serious leaks than the Titanic and countries around the world that hate us with such passion that my limited vocabulary cannot begin to describe it. We also have a system so broken and corrupted that no one knows how to repair it.

To sum up, here’s what Joe provides:

1. Horse Sense

2. More Horse Sense

3. Horse Sense that rivals genius in many ways. See, “Joe’s Horse Sense” is not horse sense at all– it’s Burro Sense. Let me explain.

Burros are actually smarter than horses. While horses are pretty smart, burros are wise. There’s a very good reason why burros are used at the Grand Canyon to traverse the steep cliffs when you ride to the bottom. Burros watch carefully where they place their hooves. Bet you didn’t know that, did you? Burros also watch what they eat. They rarely over-eat, just until they are full. Afterwards, they sun themselves or take a nap. Burros are also wise about their own safety. They group together to fight off coyotes and other predators.

How does this all relate to Joe? He’s run a business, knows how to paid his bills and his taxes. He votes and acts like a good citizen. When was the last time you heard of a sitting, career politician in Washington doing any of those things? Joe balanced his budget! Has anyone you know with an office address on Pennsylvania Avenue done that lately?

James Madison, John Adams, George, Thomas, Ben and the rest wanted us to send citizens to D.C., not lawyers or “really smart people”. This is the reason why. Joe is intelligent, but his is just Burro intelligence.

Personally, I think we ought to send about 350 more Joes to D.C. and get this mess cleaned up. How about Harry the Electrician or Ben the Pipe-fitter? Heck, I would even settle for Larry the Black-Jack Dealer or Sally the Car Salesperson.

Under the Radar:

This past week we started our email fund-raising efforts. Yep, I don’t know exactly how it’s going yet, but I do know that we’re trying to raise about $200,000.00 to put on this little weenie roast. After that, we’ll be able to do more of them: Iowa, Ohio and Colorado. You noticing a trend here? These are all major, swing states. Look at Ohio, where Democrats have been stuffing the ballot boxes with dead people’s votes . And Colorado, which has been invaded with California liberals. We’ve got our work cut out for us!

Restoring America Project is on the front lines, working hard to win this election for the good guys. It will in fact take a ton of money to do our part. Please stop by our website, and help out however you can. We will be posting where every dollar of your hard money goes… and believe me, it’s all going to fight this battle we are waging to defend our liberty and freedom.

Until next week: If you see old Joe out there on the trail, say howdy. I promise you’ll get a big grin! He is a great guy with very intelligent Burro Sense.

 

Weekly Update 5/27/12:Celebrating Liberty Festival

9:53 am in american soil, Announcements, brave warriors, celebrating liberty festival, Events, freedom and liberty, great men, grilled burgers, heartfelt tribute, jesus in america, Jim Bridenstine, Ken Crow, memorial weekend, Tea Parties, tribute to our soldiers by Ken Crow

I would be remiss if I did not begin this with a very heartfelt tribute to our soldiers and their families on this Memorial weekend. If it were not for the sense of love, duty and honor that these brave warriors gave for our nation, we would not be a nation. When I think back in just my lifetime, I have lived through a hundred thousand of these great men and women giving the ultimate sacrifice for America. Since the 1770′s, America has lost untold amount’s of her treasure to the cause of Liberty. Why?

It is human nature at its core to desire to be free. Freedom and liberty to choose what I want to eat tonight, or what occupation I want to serve humanity with for my day’s on earth. The ability to choose whom I want to marry and spend my life with. How do I want to worship, or who do I want to worship? Do I want to worship at all or do I want to not believe in a God or this fellow named Jesus?

In America, we have the ability to do all the above. Would it surprise you to know that in China for instance, your limited to one child! If you and your wife have a girl, you do not have the ability to ” try ” again to give birth to a son to carry on the family name. For nearly a hundred years in Russia for instance, you were told by the government what occupation you have for your working years. If the government needed plumbers, then you became a plumber. That simple! If you wanted to be an engineer, too bad, the government needs plumbers.

Early on in America, had it not been for a few brave souls, we would be worshipping today at the Church of England. There would no LDS Churches, Baptist, Church of Christ or Lutherans on American soil. These great men and women took it upon themselves to give you the ability to worship or not worship as you desired.

This weekend, between your grilled burgers, hotdogs and cold beer, do bow your heads and say a special thank you. For had it not been for these heroes, you would not be grilling that hotdog or drinking that iced down Budweiser. You would not be gathered around the flat-screen today, watching the greatest spectacle in racing either.  Keep in mind, it is not just the soldier that we revere today. We also say thank you to the mother that gave her son for freedom and the dad, uncle and grandparent that gave their precious grand-daughter to the cause. We at Restoring America Project offer our deepest love, respect and gratitude to the families of these fallen heroes.

Onward to the business of ” Celebrating Liberty Festival “!

This past week has been an interesting one to say the least. On Tuesday we had the good folks from the Audio/Visual company, meet our esteemed event coordinators at the site to measure footage and blue-print the site for staging, sound and visual effects. Your’s truly had teleconference calls with these folks, plus the tenting folks and got our quotes in. Oh my, while I know that they are giving us outstanding pricing on tents for this little weenie roast called a festival, it is still a very large pill to swallow. Between staging and tents alone, we are in this at nearly $100,000.00! For a one day event? You guys had better have a real good time or I am gonna be one more upset patriotic cowpoke. And to think, I have yet to rent a portable out-house or buy a hotdog.

Had several great conversation’s this week with potential speakers and their staff’s. You guys are going to be stunned when you see who show’s up to speak at this event.

We also have put a couple of great press releases on behalf of the some of the good guys. We are inviting a great American hero or at least I believe he is a hero to speak at the Celebrating Liberty Festival.  His name is Jim Bridenstine and he is running for Congress. This fellow is a Lt. Commander ( now in the Naval Reserves ) and used to fly F-18′s off the deck of aircraft carriers. He was active in Iraq and Afghanistan. I had the hair raising experience of landing on the deck of the U.S.S. Kitty Hawk CV-63 once. There is not a snow balls chance in ( you know where ) I would have done that hundreds of times like Commander Bridenstine did. Hat’s off to the Commander and I do hope he can fit us into his hectic schedule and speak. He is up against a true politician in Oklahoma’s first district. This guy named Sullivan, it turns out ( now keep in mind these guys are paid astronomical salaries ) has missed some 679 votes since being sworn in as a United States Congressman. How do you miss nearly 700 votes in Congress? If I am paid what these guys are paid and I am serving you the America people, I am not missing votes unless my house has burned down or I am running 104 fever, am contagious and bed ridden. This guy is absolutely a sham as a Congressman. Disgraceful is about all I can offer about that, and my hero Forest Gump would say.

Under the radar!

As promised, this is your weekly ”Under the Radar ” segment. This is the behind the scenes stuff.

O.K., as you know we have to raise boat loads of money to pull off these grand events known as ” Celebrating Liberty Festival’s “. One of the way’s to do this is through email fund-raising.  Well our internal computer genius, was finally able this week to complete the code for allowing us the ability to do this. My heartfelt thank’s go out to our “un-named hero ” and you know who you are. Bottom line is, we can now put together through this maze of computer stuff “ that your’s truly doesn’t understand “, the messaging necessary to convince patriotic Americans to assist us.

tidbit of inside info. I am having serious problems finding a Ferris Wheel! We want a Ferris Wheel. Not a baby one either. I want a nice Ferris Wheel. If anyone knows a fellow that knows someone’s cousin who lives next door to a guy that is related to the Ferris Wheels owner’s third cousin, could you please have them drop me a line.

Almost forgot, if you do not know much about Ms. Krista Branch, do catch this video. It is a very enlightening video and you learn just how truly wonderful she is. (  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NczsSvyh6nI&feature=g-upl )….

That’s it for this week. I won’t even give you a sneak peek, but next week is going to be a barn burner. Don’t miss next weeks updates.

Until then, feel free to write me with concerns, problems, updates or gripes.

It’s Party Time: Your Official Celebrating Liberty Festival Update!

9:58 am in Announcements, celebrating liberty, celebrating liberty festival, Events, kevin jackson, Krista Branch, Lt.Governor John Sanchez, moriarty new mexico, Steve Vaus, The Tea Party, Views by Ken Crow

103 Days to go:

Patriots, the countdown has now begun! With only 103 days to go, I thought that it might be the perfect time to begin giving you all “Official” weekly status updates on the Celebrating Liberty Festival. Keep up with these articles, since not only will they give you current information but also interesting background information not found in articles or interviews in the mainstream media. Expect each piece to be fun and informative, as we lead up to what will– no doubt– be the largest political event this side of the November election. If you plan on attending this whale of a good time in the New Mexican mountains,  our website will be a necessity for all of your travel and on-site information. (www.celebratingliberty.com)

Now let me tell you more about this exciting, new section on our event site. It’s where you will get the up-to-the-minute status as we  plan this great event. On top of this, you will get behind-the-scenes glimpses you won’t find anywhere else– exclusively for you, the Tea Party Tribune and Celebrating Liberty reader! This section will be titled Under the Radar.

Current Status:

The current status of the festival? We’re on target to have a huge blowout, or what I like to refer to as a Conservative Mardi Gras.

Already our official event coordinator is on the ground in Moriarty, New Mexico. Robin Foshee is a Tea Party faithful, and I’m beginning to thank the good Lord daily for her tremendous talents as an organizing wiz– which is a must for events of this scale. Her capable assistant, Jim Gillespie, deserves a mention, too. He is another Tea Party faithful, and one of the those fellows that knows everyone (or knows someone who knows everyone). That’s another, much-needed commodity in this endeavor. But one of the most exciting things about their coming on board for Celebrating Liberty Festival is that you can help, too! Robin and Jim are looking for volunteer coordinators for each and every aspect of this event. Do you happen to live in (or want to hang out in) New Mexico? If so, do get in touch with me! This is a three-month commitment, starting immediately. Don’t worry about experience, or whether you think you can do something like this… They will need folks to handle an array of details, and you can find your niche. Don’t doubt me on this!

Our entertainment for this festival is rounding out very nicely. So far, we’ve booked some great entertainers– with more on the way. Again, you will want to keep up on our updates, in the Under The Radar section, as they materialize. (www.celebratingliberty.com) You never know what exciting performers might be joining us! You’ll notice that when you click on the respective names of the confirmed performers, you can watch their videos. Currently, that list includes Kimbirly Vasi, Garrett Lloyd King, Krista Branch and Grammy Winner Steve Vaus

For the hard-core Tea Party crowd,  we’ve booked some hard-hitting speakers in the line-up, too. Fox News contributor, and Founder of The Black Sphere.net , Kevin Jackson will be spewing his loyalty to our constitution and other patriotic messaging. He is a fire breather of a speaker and very entertaining to listen to. We also have Tom Trento from The United West, a fellow that routinely goes toe to toe with The Muslim Brotherhood. Not even our hero Chuck Norris can match Tom, when it comes to strong, verbal warfare for America! You’ll cheer as Tom gives his rousing opinion on how America must handle radicals like the Muslim Brotherhood. Lt. Governor John Sanchez , another brilliant speaker, has confirmed. He is very popular with his native New Mexicans, especially amongst the Tea Party faithful. Sanchez is truly a rising star in the Republican Party, and no doubt we will be hearing much from him in the future. And there are many, many more national figures invited– yes, some are the most popular, Conservative speakers, the biggest of the big. Again, stay tuned to Under the Radar for more information as we get it.

Restoring America Project is making every attempt to only contract with local vendors and suppliers for all of our needs. In fact, the staging and sound systems will be provided by a company from Albuquerque. Our tenting is also coming out of there. Many people inquired about this subject. So now you know.

We have extended invitations to many of the nation’s largest conservative organizations, and some have confirmed with us.  Some of these groups will be installing Hospitality Tents for the event. As I get a full list, I will keep you all updated.

Before I forget, we are bringing in many, many activities for the younger conservatives attending the festival. One of these activities I am currently working on is a Ferris Wheel. If anyone knows where I can snare one, please do send along that information. The giant 150 foot tall hot air balloon ” Bald Eagle ” will be making his presence known. (photo on website) If you have never seen a  pumpkin chunker, you’re truly deprived. I personally haven’t, and I am officially deprived. From what I hear, these  contraptions can shoot off a large pumpkin over a mile! This is something that would make the famous comedian Gallagher smile.  If you’re too young to remember him: his schtick was smashing melons and pumpkins with a sledgehammer (or some other object) and watching them explode on impact. Can you imagine your Halloween pumpkin being launched a mile away, then exploding? Sounds like fun to me!

Under the Radar!

This is the part where you, the The Tea Party Tribune and Celebrating Liberty reader, get the inside information that the mainstream media can’t give you!

While I cannot divulge every politician that we have invited, let’s just say this: I swear on my favorite black cowboy hat, you will be shocked at who may be coming! They don’t get any bigger, patriots. The minute they confirm, I promise you, we will let you know. I can say this much– we’ve officially extended a invitation to Congressman Allen West (Florida), Senator Marco Rubio (Florida), Governor Susana Martinez ( New Mexico ) and many others. Let’s all hope that they all can work Celebrating Liberty Festival into their busy schedules. We will also extend invitations (when his campaign begins accepting them) to Governor Mitt Romney ( The Presumptive Nominee ) and the Veep Candidate, as well .

As I said in the last paragraph, we cannot tell you everything that might happen. But here’s what I can tell you about our entertainment prospects. In Under the Radar, we will keep you informed about this: we’re working on, persuading, coercing, begging and several other adjectives for the following: Mr. Ted Nugent, Mr. Clay Walker and the legend Gloria Estafen and the Miami Sound Machine.

In Closing:

This weekly update section is meant to be lighthearted and fun. This is not meant to be criticized or anything of that nature. This is meant to keep the fans of Celebrating Liberty Festival current on our shenanigans. If you have suggestions on talent, contacts or would like to volunteer your incredible talents to the effort, please do not hesitate to contact me. My email will follow. Do keep in mind, this little event is going to cost us in the neighborhood of $125,000.00 plus to produce. If you feel so inclined, we can always us contributions. Again, visit the site for that topic.

Support the Celebrating Liberty Festival

More coming next week. Same Bat time, same Bat channel.

Until then: Happy trails and God Bless each of you.

Fox News Is Spreading False Information on the Meaning of a Natural Born Citizen

  By Mario Apuzzo, Esq.

Tuesday, May 1, 2012

Read this article entitled, “Bret explains “natural born citizen” requirements for president and vice president, posted at Daily Bret -FoxNews.com . The post is by a Katy Ricalde. She posts the argument of Bret Baier as to how a “natural born Citizen” is defined. Baier argues that since the Constitution does not define a “natural born Citizen,” the Constitution allows Congress to do so through its naturalization statutes such as those found at 8 U.S.C. Sec. 1401 et seq. He concludes that any Congressional Act which makes one a “citizen of the United States” from the moment of birth is a “natural born Citizen,” regardless of where or to whom born. He concludes:

“That is how legal experts interpret the ‘natural born’ requirement.. and how you get that status is actually pretty open. Until the Supreme Court weighs in on this issue (and there are no plans that we know of that that will happen)… — to your emails… Senator Marco Rubio and Governor Bobby Jindal are both eligible to run and become Vice President or President.”

There are several problems with Mr. Baier’s argument:

1. He fails to understand that “Citizens of the United States” and their “natural born Citizen” children already existed since after July 4, 1776 and before the Constitution was adopted in 1787. The Founding generation knew who those citizens were. That generation abandoned the English feudal and monarchical notion of subject-hood and perpetual allegiance to the King. They replaced the notion of membership in the civil society by calling their members “citizens” and “natural born Citizens” rather than “subjects” and “natural born subjects” and providing that children followed the political condition of their parents who by free will selected that condition for them until their age of majority at which time they were free to accept or change that choice, not that of some King without choice and for life. While the Constitution itself does not define a “natural born Citizen,” historical evidence and case law from the U.S. Supreme Court and other courts do so. That evidence shows that a “natural born Citizen” is a child born in the United States to parents who at the time of their birth were both either “natural born Citizens” or “citizens of the United States.” See my blog at http://puzo1.blogspot.com/  for a discussion of this historical evidence and case law.

2.  Regarding Presidential eligibility, Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 provides:

“No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.”

This eligibility clause shows that the Framers during the period that the grandfather clause of Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 was in effect (for births prior to the adoption of the Constitution), allowed naturalized citizens to be eligible to be President. After the grandfather clause expired (for births after the adoption of the Constitution), it was no longer sufficient to be simply a “citizen of the United States” to be eligible to be President, for such citizens also include naturalized citizens. Rather, one had to now show that one was a “natural born Citizen” which was not a naturalized citizen by any positive law.

3.  The Founders and Framers required that future Presidents and Commanders in Chief of the Military be ”natural born Citizens” so as to assure that they would be born with undivided and sole allegiance and love of country only to the United States. This was needed as a “strong check” on foreign influence (John Jay letter of July 25, 1787 to George Washington) and to make sure that foreign nations could not “raise[] a creature of their own to the chief magistracy of the Union.” Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist, No. 68.  Persons who are “citizens of the United States,” as Mr. Baier includes as “natural born Citizen,” but not “natural born Citizens,” as correctly defined under American common law, are born with dual and conflicting allegiances.  They are not born with unity of allegiance and citizenship to the United States. The Founders and Framers simply did not put their trust in such persons to take over the singular and great powers of the presidency and commander in chief of the military.

4. The Constitution on matters of citizenship in Article I, Section 8, Clause 4 gave Congress the power only to naturalize persons to become “citizens of the United States.” This power could not and does not include the ability to define a “natural born Citizen” any differently than how the People who adopted the Constitution defined that term. To give Congress such power would give it power to change the presidential eligibility requirements of Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 without constitutional amendment. So the Constitution gave power to Congress to add through naturalization more citizens to the original “Citizens of the United States” and “natural born Citizens.” But such power did not include the power to make more “natural born Citizen” other than by birth in the United States to citizen parents. We can see that Congress only uses the clause “citizen of the United States” in its naturalization acts, including the statutes cited by Mr. Baier.  In none of the statutes cited by Mr. Baier do we see the clause “natural born Citizen.”

5. Mr. Baier would like for us to believe that all “legal experts” agree with him. That is an outlandish claim.

6. Mr. Baier would like for us to believe that his legal position is the status quo and that only by the U.S. Supreme Court changing it will the law change. The truth is that there is no U.S. Supreme Court decision that agrees with his position. Hence, what he says is not the legal status quo. Rather, the last time the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on the matter as to what is a “natural born Citizen” was in Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. (21 Wall.) 162 (1875) (decided after the Fourteenth Amendment was adopted in 1868 and holding that “all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners”). What Minor said about a “natural born Citizen” was confirmed in U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898) (acknowledging and confirming Minor’s American common law definition of a “natural-born citizen” but adding based on the English common law that since “‘[t]he child of an alien, if born in the country, is as much a citizen as the natural-born child of a citizen, and by operation of the same principle [birth in the country]’” (bracketed information supplied), a child born in the United States to domiciled alien parents was a Fourteenth Amendment “citizen of the United States”). This American common law definition of a “natural born Citizen” has never been changed, not even by the Fourteenth Amendment (only uses the clause “citizen of the United States” and does not mention “natural born Citizen”) or Wong Kim Ark, and therefore still prevails today. Both those U.S. Supreme Court cases define a “natural born Citizen” as a child born in a country to parents who are citizens of that country. Hence, it is Mr. Baier who needs a U.S. Supreme Court decision to change the current status of the law, not us who know what the law is.

Based on the current state of the law as presented by the historical record and our U.S. Supreme Court, putative President Barack Obama (born to a British/Kenyan father in an undetermined location), Senator Marco Rubio (born to Cuban parents in the United States), and Senator Bobby Jindal (born to Indian parents in the United States) are all not “natural born Citizens.” That means that under Article II, Section 1, Clause 5, none of them are eligible to be elected President or Vice-President.

Site Update: Improved Speed and Performance

6:18 pm in amazon cdn, amazon cloudfront, amazon s3, Announcements, apache 7070, apache port, apc object, cdn speeds up website, database buffer, Featured, httpd optimization, listen 7070, mysql query cache, object cache, page cache, spotlight, tlswebsolutions, varnish, w3 total cache by Tim Selaty Jr.

What’s this all about?

“Can this site get any slower?” is something I often found myself saying. The Tea Party Tribune has been experiencing slow site speed and performance for quite a while. The reasoning behind the sluggish experience is due to the sheer amount of traffic we’ve been receiving. Thousands of views a day with a lot of calls to our articles, database, content which is constantly updated and cleaned, news sources we’re aggregating information from, etc… all takes its toll on our server.

It was apparent that TPT was in need of a dire update to alleviate the “user experience wound” left on users after trying to use the website. A series of upgrades were done to achieve this. Those upgrades include:

1.Cleaning up resource heavy code.

The first step to speeding up the website was to figure out what was slowing it down. I worked with a special software which hooks into the website and dumps all the code, calls, methods, functions, and classes. It allows me to sort it and analyze where the site’s bottlenecks were. After cleaning that up, we were no longer was getting server error and was able to serve at least everyone who requested the site (as opposed to erroring or leaving a blank white page which loads indefinitely).

2. Setup a CDN

A CDN is basically a place to people to store images, stylesheets, scripts, and other files which loads on every page. The content delivery network delivers the assets faster than our server can and provides caching, so your browser knows to look at your computers secret local storage instead of trying to download the images again. Most assets and images on the site is now being served using Amazon’s CloudFront and S3 (simple storage).

3. Cache, everything

We also setup and optimized our caching process by allowing our database to have a “larger memory” buffer so it can send post content back to us without having to search inside itself every single time, cache our page’s content so we don’t constantly “reload” those sidebar content (such as recent reactions) everytime a request is made, etc.

4. Super charged page content with Varnish

And finally, I setup something called “Varnish”, which super charges our page content and delivers it in records time to the browser. Imagine a large building which has 8 revolving doors and hundreds to thousands of people outside. Their purpose? To go inside, grab a free snack, and leave. Varnish essentially is a single vendor on the outside of the building with a humongous stack of snacks and is literally throwing it out to the crowd. This prevents them from even wanting to walk inside and can serve hundreds of people at a time.

Varnish takes a page’s content, saves it as a HTML file, and stores it for later. It does all the site’s processing, thinking, database calls, and renders it into a flat file which can be instantly served to visitors instead of having to call the database and have PHP do intense thinking again.

Please leave a comment below to let me know what you think of the site’s new speed and other suggestions/feedback that you’d like to see done to improve the site. Thank ye` kindly.

Radical Muslims for Obama

Missouri to ban foreign law from use in state courts
Bill: SB676 (PDF)

Sponsored by Senator Brian Nieves, SB676 creates the Civil Liberties Defense Act mandating that any court, arbitration, tribunal, or administrative agency ruling shall be unenforceable if based on a foreign law that does not grant the parties the same rights as the parties have under the United States and Missouri constitutions. PDF Bill: SB676

Frank J. Gaffney Jr. writes “American Law for American Courts”, Preserving the Constitution means rejecting Shariah.

Shortly before Newt Gingrich’s decisive victory in South Carolina last week, he was asked a critical question by a Palmetto State voter: Would he support a Muslim candidate for president? The former speaker of the House answered in a way that was both characteristically insightful and profoundly helpful with respect to one of the most serious challenges our country faces at the moment.

Mr. Gingrich responded by saying it depends on a critical factor: Is the candidate “a modern person who happens to worship Allah”? Or is he “a person who belonged to any kind of belief in Shariah, any kind of effort to impose that on the rest of us”? Mr. Gingrich observed that the former would not be a problem, while the latter would be a “mortal threat.” The Georgia Republican went on to assert the need for federal legislation that would prevent Shariah from being applied in U.S. courts.

Muslim Brotherhood front groups such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) are squealing like, well, stuck haram (or impure) pigs. After all, they have been working overtime to try to obscure the true nature of Shariah and to prevent the enactment of legislation that would interfere with the considerable progress being made below the radar in states across the country: the insinuation of Shariah into the American judiciary.

Resorting to their standard technique of ad hominem attacks, CAIR and its friends have derided Mr. Gingrich’s stance as “racist,” “bigoted” and “Islamophobic.” Such comments evidently were not persuasive to South Carolina voters – and they should be equally dismissed by everybody else.

The Muslim Brotherhood in America calls this “civilization jihad.” It seeks through, for example, the use of Shariah in U.S. courts to insinuate their program here at the expense of our constitutional rights and state public policy.

A sense of how far along we are in this process was provided by a study conducted last year by the Center for Security Policy. Titled “Shariah in American Courts,” it examined a small microcosm of U.S. jurisprudence. Its findings were alarming: Out of a sample of 50 cases, in 27 instances in 23 states, the courts involved allowed the use of Shariah to adjudicate the dispute.

In almost all of the cases, that outcome was at the expense of the constitutional rights of American women or children. Under Shariah, they simply do not enjoy the same stature and are not entitled to the same freedoms they are under U.S. law.

Is your state working on Anti-Sharia law?

Virginia Says No to Federal Detention, Yes to Liberty

4:19 pm in Announcements, Congress by Toria

Dear Fellow Patriots,

On July 1 of next year, a new law will take effect to protect Virginians against abuses of federal power. My Anti-NDAA Detention bill, HB 1160, overwhelmingly passed both houses yesterday afternoon. Together, you and I can claim this incredible victory for Virginia against an ever-encroaching federal government.

Virginia is telling Congress “No Thanks,” to any participation in the unconstitutional “detention” of American citizens without trial, legal counsel, specific charges, or the right to face an accuser as authorized under the 2012 Defense Authorization Act signed by President Obama this past December.

This victory would not have been possible without strong grass-roots support for my bill from Virginians of all political backgrounds and persuasions.  I want to thank the many liberty-minded citizens across Virginia who took the time to write letters, send emails and make phone calls to the Governor and Assembly members.

And I am proud of the Assembly’s response.

Virginia is the first state to pass a law which places a legal bar between all state agencies and any federal effort to use Section 1021 of the 2012 NDAA to suspend habeas corpus rights which go back centuries.  I hope that Virginia’s enactment of HB 1160 will be replicated in other states.  States still have a significant role and duty to resist federal overreach. In the words of the Richmond Times Dispatch editorial in support of HB 1160, “Congress and the President should be made aware that their contempt for fundamental constitutional rights does not sit well with the American public.”

For Liberty,

This Virginia Bill passed overwhelmingly in both the House and Senate.  The Bill language is written, we have precedent in Virginia, therefore Arizona is next.  The work is done, just push this through your legislature, state by state.   Virginia will help where we can.

Saturday, May 19th
The Patriot Field of Dreams
Holts Summit, Missouri
10:00 am – 6:00 pm
*campsite opens Friday afternoon / closes Sunday noon

JOIN US!   2012 is the perfect year for Constitutionally minded folks to gather in one place, in the center of the country. We haven’t all agreed on who the Republican presidential candidate should be.  We don’t all share the same religious or social views.  We DO agree on the Constitutional principles of smaller government, a balanced budget, lower taxes and less federal interference in our lives.  It’s common sense.

We are not an official organization – we have no fancy sponsors – we’re just going to be thousands of concerned Americans gathering on private property in the rolling hills of central Missouri, known by the locals as  “The Patriot Field of Dreams.”    True grassroots.

Join us for this day-long family style event with two stages, nationally recognized speakers, top entertainers, patriot vendors, exhibitors and fun activities for the entire family. There will also be an adjacent campsite, evening activities and a Sunday morning outdoor church service, which brings this to a whole ‘nother level.  Patriot Palooza!

RUMSFELD ENDORSES NEWTON FOR U.S. CONGRESS IN CD3

 

Rick Newton announced today the support of former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. “Mr. Rumsfeld, a resident of El Prado, NM, is one of our country’s more consequential leaders in modern U.S. history, I am proud to have his support.”

 

Newton continued, “Secretary Rumsfeld has enjoyed an impressive career as documented in his bestselling memoir, Known and Unknown. Elected to the U.S. Congress for four terms, he later served in the cabinets of three presidents, as White House chief of staff, and as the U.S. secretary of defense twice.  He also served as U.S. ambassador to NATO, special envoy to the Middle East and has over 20 years of experience in business as the chief executive officer of two Fortune 500 companies and as chairman of the board of directors of a third.  Mr. Rumsfeld and his wife, Joyce, also chair a foundation that supports microfinance development projects, fellowships for graduate students interested in public service, exchange programs for young leaders from nations in Central Asia and the Caucasus, and that funds charitable causes that benefit the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families.”

 

Rick Newton sought the former Secretary’s counsel on issues important to the residents of New Mexico’s 3rd Congressional District including job creation, which tops the list, and federal over-regulation which is on the minds of many who work in oil and gas, mining, ranching and farming, and education.

 

“Our discussions covered a variety of topics, from national security to jobs in New Mexico.” Newton said. “We also discussed our concerns about the current reduction in force at the Los Alamos National Lab and the Obama administration’s likely delay in replacing the Chemistry Metallurgy Research Replacement facility.”
