[New post] Other states joining Georgia to demand Obama produce proof of eligibility?

New post on Fellowship of the Minds

Other states joining Georgia to demand Obama produce proof of eligibility?

by Dr. Eowyn

This past Thursday, January 26, 2012, an administrative law judge in Atlanta conducted a hearing into whether Barack Obama, a sitting President of the United States of America who's seeking reelection, should be allowed to have his name be placed on the electoral ballot of the state of Georgia.

But the defendant, Obama, and his attorney Michael Jablonski failed to appear in court, and so forfeited their defense. All of which means that Deputy Chief Judge Michael Malihi can simply make a default judgment in favor of the plaintiffs.

I received an email that claims five more states are joining Georgia in demanding that Obama produce proof of his constitutional eligibility as a Natural Born Citizen, in order that his name be placed on the states' primary election ballots.

After going to the URL sources listed in the email, I can only find confirmation for one state, instead of five. That state is Alabama.

An article published on Liberty News Online, Jan. 7, 2012, claims that an Alabama court has announced that it will hear arguments as to whether Obama is in fact eligible to appear on the state's presidential primary ballot.

Several Alabama citizens have filed a lawsuit within the Alabama Circuit Court to "prevent certification of President Barack Obama for 2012 Alabama ballot access pending final hearing based on factual evidentiary hearings."

By agreeing to hear the case, the Alabama Courts have effectively stalled any efforts by the Democratic Party to place Obama on the ballot.

At the same time, the Alabama court also is recognizing that ordinary Alabama citizens do in fact have legal standing to question and challenge Obama's eligibility. In the past, judge after judge have ruled that ordinary citizens did not have standing, i.e., that they were not sufficiently harmed by the actions of the defendant and therefore had no legal right to bring their cases before the courts.

Despite this Liberty News article, however, I cannot find the Alabama judge's name, the location of the Alabama court that allegedly will have a hearing, nor can I find the names of the plaintiffs and the names of the attorney(s).

If you have better information, please leave a comment!

Meanwhile, Capt. Pamela Barnett (Ret.) has founded a website and initiative that provide assistance to citizens who wish to challenge Obama's constitutional eligibility and name placement on the 2012 presidential ballot. She and her team are currently compiling election law from all 50 states and will be providing forms and sample letters which registered voters can use to file a complaint.

Re: Gays “Make God Want to Vomit” Says Dick Sanctamonius' New Florida Chair O’Neal Dozier

Could you please find the actual quotation where "Dick Sanctamonius" made such a statement for us there Tom? (and by the way, you should really break down and buy a dictionary or start trying to utiize spell check......)

Gays "Make God Want to Vomit" Says Santorum's New Florida Chair
by David Badash on January 23, 2012

in Bigotry Watch,Marriage,News,Politics,Religion

Rick Santorum has found someone even more anti-gay and anti-Islam than
he is, so naturally he has installed him as his honorary Chair of his
Florida presidential campaign. Rev. O'Neal Dozier, 53, has said gays
"make God want to vomit." He is well-known is GOP circles, but was all
but washed up until the Tea Party and Rep. Allen West came along. He's
connected to the Bush family (Jeb Bush is the former Governor of
Florida,) and claims to be "a prayer warrior who faithfully spends
time in his own prayer closet and teaches his flock to pray."

Adam Weinstein at Mother Jones has an extensive profile on Rev. Dozier, writing,

Dozier opened his church in 1985 and immediately began preaching a
different kind of gospel. "We teach and preach on the cultural
issues," he says in a recent video. "We also teach and preach on the
war on terror. We teach and preach on the dangers of Islam and Islamic
fascism here." He says he was heavily influenced by the work of the
Rev. D. James Kennedy, a founding father of the Christian right who
started the annual Reclaiming America for Christ political conference
at his church complex just down the street in Fort Lauderdale.

Attending functions like Kennedy's helped Dozier build a valuable
political Rolodex. As the GOP sought ways to connect with minorities,
it took a shine to Dozier, and he was happy to deliver their messages
at his pulpit. In 2001, Governor Jeb Bush appointed him to serve on
one of Florida's key judicial nominating commissions. "I helped him
pick his judges in the state of Florida," Dozier said. He also went on
to visit with President George W. Bush in the White House. And when
Charlie Crist campaigned to take over the governor's office from Bush,
Dozier sat on the campaign's "Strengthening Florida's Families" panel.
Dozier later remarked at a prayer breakfast that the Lord Jesus had
told him, "Charlie Crist will be the next governor of the state of
Florida."

"The tea party is a godly ordained party," Dozier has said. Also: "God
is not a socialist. God is not a Robin Hood."
As Republicans courted him, Dozier continued to express some of his
most extreme views. At a Reclaiming America convention in 2003, Dozier
declared that "We should take control of every facet of society." He
added that God was "100 percent for capital punishment. Oh, yeah, God
knew some were going to slip through, a few innocent ones. He knew
that. But you cannot have a society without capital punishment."

He reserved his greatest fervor for that "paramount of sins,"
homosexuality—which he declared was "something so nasty and disgusting
that it makes God want to vomit."

In 2006, he declared war on a local Islamic group trying to build a
mosque in the neighborhood. "One day," he intoned, "our grandchildren
will live under the grips of sharia law. It's coming our way. Islam
has a plan, a 20-year plan, to take over America from within. And
they're doing it." The feds charged a charity that Dozier and local
Republican activists had supported with swindling $3 million from
Haitian immigrants. And Dozier started asking Florida judicial
nominees if they were "God-fearing" and in favor of anti-sodomy laws.
The GOP establishment began to sour on Dozier. By the summer of 2006,
Crist and Jeb Bush had both dumped him.

Of course, it makes perfect sense that Rick Santorum, himself totally
washed up for years after his historic defeat as a Senator, would
embrace Dozier.

Go back and read Weinstein's fascinating piece. It will give you some
insight into those whom Santorum believes are fit to represent him.

[Hope4America] FirstEnergy To Close Six Coal-Fired Plants Due To EPA Regulations

FirstEnergy To Close Six Coal-Fired Plants Due To EPA Regulations

January 26, 2012 by Frank York Comments (35)

<http://epaabuse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Closed.jpg>

"Closed" signs are a symbol of Lisa Jackson's success in destroying the fossil fuel industry.

EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson must be as pleased as punch. Her monster agency and its irrational rules are having their intended impact on the fossil fuel industry. Jackson and Obama have made it clear they want to destroy the coal industry and they're being wildly successful at it.

The latest to fall victim to EPA regulations is FirstEnergy, a company that operates coal-fired power plants in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland. Jackson must be giddy over this – six more coal-fired plants killed off.

A press release issued by FirstEnergy today states:

FirstEnergy Corp. announced today that its generation subsidiaries will retire six older coal-fired power plants located in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland by September 1, 2012. The decision to close the plants is based on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS), which were recently finalized, and other environmental regulations.

The total capacity of the competitive plants that will be retired is 2,689 megawatts (MW). Recently, these plants served mostly as peaking or intermediate facilities, generating, on average, approximately 10 percent of the electricity produced by the company over the past three years.

The following plants will be retired: Bay Shore Plant, Units 2-4, Oregon, Ohio; Eastlake Plant, Eastlake, Ohio; Ashtabula Plant, Ashtabula, Ohio; Lake Shore Plant, Cleveland, Ohio; Armstrong Power Station, Adrian, Pa.; and R. Paul Smith Power Station, Williamsport, Md.

In total, 529 employees will be directly affected. Existing severance benefits will apply to eligible, affected employees. However, the final number of affected employees could be less as some are considered for open positions at other FirstEnergy facilities and work locations, and eligible employees take advantage of a retirement benefit being offered to those 55 years and older.

"This decision is not in any way a reflection of the fine work done by the employees at the affected plants, but is related to the impact of new environmental rules," said James H. Lash, president, FirstEnergy Generation and chief nuclear officer. "We recently completed a comprehensive review of our coal-fired generating plants and determined that additional investments to implement MATS and other environmental rules would make these older plants even less likely to be dispatched under market rules. As a result, it was necessary to retire the plants rather than continue operations."

The plant retirements are subject to review for reliability impacts, if any, by PJM Interconnection, the regional transmission organization that controls the area where they are located.

FirstEnergy is finalizing MATS compliance plans for its remaining coal-fired units. Since the Clean Air Act became law in 1970, FirstEnergy and its predecessor companies have invested more than $10 billion in environmental protection efforts.

Since 1990, FirstEnergy has reduced emissions of nitrogen oxides by more than 76 percent, sulfur dioxide by more than 86 percent and mercury by about 56 percent. When the six coal-fired plants are removed from FirstEnergy's competitive generating fleet, more than 96 percent of the power provided will come from resources that are non- or low-emitting, including nuclear, hydro, pumped-storage hydro, natural gas and scrubbed coal units.

FirstEnergy is a diversified energy company dedicated to safety, reliability and operational excellence. Its 10 electric distribution companies comprise the nation's largest investor-owned electric system. Its diverse generating fleet features non-emitting nuclear, scrubbed coal, natural gas, and pumped-storage hydro and other renewables, and has a total generating capacity of nearly 23,000 megawatts.

Read the complete press release.

I suspect Lisa Jackson and her anti-fossil fuel buddies are high-fiving each other this morning over this news – as America's energy industry is being euthanized by the EPA.
