Your turn: Tell Congress to probe eligibility

A formal law enforcement investigation into Barack Obama's birth certificate and other eligibility documents has affirmed what half the nation, according to numerous polls, already knew: that the paperwork doesn't match up with what would be genuine.

So what is Congress doing about what has been described as a "monumental and unprecedented constitutional issue"? So far, nothing.

But here's your chance to tell your senators and representatives what needs to be done, as their jobs, after all, are to represent the interests of the American public.

A new petition has been launched demanding that the 112th Congress begin a "full and impartial investigation into the constitutional eligibility of Barack Hussein Obama." Some 1,000 people are signing up every hour so far.

The dispute has been around since before Obama was elected in 2008. In fact, there were cases in the court system at that point challenging his eligibility, based on a long list of missing documents or absent verifications.

Many do not believe he was born in Hawaii as he claimed, thus raising doubts about his ability to meet the U.S. Constitution's demand that a president be a "natural born citizen." Others say that doesn't even matter, as his father was a foreign national and the Founders' understanding of "natural born" would have meant the offspring of two citizens of the nation.

What question does every candidate for Congress need to face this year? Here it is.

A multitude of court cases have come and gone, some being rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court where one justice admitted the panel was avoiding the issue.

In recent weeks a new round of court challenges has arisen, where citizens utilize state laws allowing challenges to candidate eligibility. They simply are asking Obama to document his eligibility.

Judges in those cases so far have been in concert in refusing voters permission to pursue their questions under state law.

The petition specifically cites Sheriff Joe Arpaio's Cold Case Posse investigation into Obama's documentation. Those professional law enforcement investigators spent six months looking at the evidence, and concluded there is probable cause to believe there was forgery in the creation of the birth certificate image Obama released at the White House.

They also raised serious questions about the validity of Obama's Selective Service registration, and found probable cause to believe there was fraud in the presentation of Obama's documentation as genuine.

It's addressed to "All members of the U.S. Congress" and states:

Whereas, the first official U.S. law enforcement investigation into Barack Obama's legal eligibility for the presidency, led by Maricopa County, Ariz., Sheriff Joe Arpaio and involving a six-month investigation by three professional criminal investigators and two attorneys, established "probable cause" that the document released with great fanfare by the White House April 27, 2011, as Obama's "long-form birth certificate" is a forgery;

Whereas, specifically, these investigators, after interviewing dozens of witnesses, examining hundreds of documents, and taking numerous sworn statements from witnesses around the world, including multiple document experts, concluded that said "birth certificate" did not originate in a paper format, but was created – that is, forged – as an electronic file on a computer;

Whereas, the Arpaio-led law-enforcement investigation cited numerous experts demonstrating that an additional fraud was allegedly committed in the forgery of Barack Obama's Selective Service registration card;

Whereas, the investigation also found that, according to a sworn affidavit by the longtime mailman for the parents of ex-Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers, Ayers' mother enthusiastically claimed she had helped pay for the Harvard Law School education of "foreign student" Barack Obama;

Whereas, Arpaio's lead investigator Michael Zullo explained at a March 1 press conference that the 1961 Hawaiian newspaper "announcements" of Barack Obama's birth confirm nothing, since the investigators "can prove beyond a doubt" that these newspapers also announced arrivals of foreign babies as well as native-born; and that the investigators even possess "documented evidence of two adopted individuals who were breathing three years prior" to their supposed Hawaii "birth" and subsequent newspaper "birth announcements";

Whereas, the investigation determined that immigration files in the National Archives recording overseas arrivals into Hawaii are missing from one particular week – the week of Obama's birthday, August 4, 1961;

Whereas, , lead investigator Mike Zullo also said his team believes the Hawaii Department of Health has engaged in a systematic effort to hide from public inspection any original 1961 birth records for Obama it may have in its possession;

Whereas, investigators have advised Sheriff Arpaio they believe at least two crimes of fraud were committed: 1) The White House allegedly created a forgery it claimed was an officially produced governmental birth record; and 2) the White House allegedly presented to the residents of Maricopa County, Ariz. – and to the entire American public – a forgery represented as "proof positive" of President Obama's authentic 1961 Hawaii long-form birth certificate;

Whereas, Sheriff Arpaio said March 1: "The president can put all this to rest quite easily. All he has to do is demand the Hawaii Department of Health release to the American public and to a panel of certified court-authorized forensic examiners all original 1961 paper, microfilm and computer birth records the Hawaii Department of Health has in its possession";

Whereas, Arpaio concluded: "Absent the authentication of Hawaii Department of Health 1961 birth records for Barack Obama, there is no other proof he was born anywhere within the United States";

Whereas, despite a virtual media blackout on the issue, repeated national polls show that almost half of registered U.S. voters remain unconvinced that Barack Obama's birth certificate is authentic:

The signers then demand that Congress launch an investigation because "not to finally resolve this monumental and unprecedented constitutional issue would be intolerable, and would constitute the most extreme disrespect and contempt for the U.S. Constitution."
