A few weeks ago I reported an effort by the Liberty Legal Foundation to file a Certification Class Action lawsuits against the DNC and Barack Obama on his “natural born citizenship” status.

This is a challenge to keep anyone WHO CLEARLY IS NOT a “natural born citizen” off the state ballot for the office of President of the United States.

You can become a part of that Class Action HERE.

The Strategy #3 Issue on this Certification Class Action focuses on the core Constitutional question.

“The Constitution has specific requirements for the Presidency that do not exist for any other Federal office. The Founders set this higher requirement in order to avoid the possibility of our nation’s leader having divided loyalties. For this reason, the Constitution requires that the candidate for the Presidency be the descendant of two persons who were citizens at the time of the person’s birth. Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162 (1875). Obama, by his own admission, fails this “natural born citizen” requirement.”

This is the latest news on that effort in Georgia.

Breaking CCA News! This morning the Georgia Court of Administrative Hearings denied Obama’s motion to dismiss our ballot challenge. More importantly, the court’s opinion ruled in our favor on all procedural and state law issues, leaving only one thing left to decide: Whether Obama is a natural-born-citizen under the Constitution

Remember that no court has ever addressed this issue! As you know our argument is very simple. We argue that the Supreme Court has defined “natural-born-citizen” as a person with two U.S. citizen parents, and Obama admits that his father was never a U.S. citizen.

Others have raised many legal theories and asserted numerous facts regarding Obama’s past, his identity, his parentage, and his qualifications to hold office. None of those others have EVER succeeded in having a single court address the substantive issues they raised. Every one of those cases have been dismissed on procedural grounds without considering the substantive arguments at issue. Liberty Legal Foundation will now be the first to appear before a court that has affirmatively stated that it will decide the Constitutional question.

The hearing is set for 9AM on January 26th in Atlanta, Georgia.

As you know, we have similar cases filed in Tennessee state court and Federal court in Arizona. Hopefully the Georgia court will set the groundwork for victories across the country. If any court rules that Obama is not Constitutionally qualified to hold the office of President, it will be a major victory and should make international news. All the motions are located on our website on the Georgia Ballot Challenge page.

Let us all pray that 2012 will finally be the year the courts uphold the Constitution on this critical issue. It is certainly wonderful to start the year with a win!
