In a report marked "UNVERIFIED," a Campaign for Liberty blogger issued a report today that the debate over President Obama's citizenship is again before the Supreme Court.  

The false report seems to be a tasteless Independence Day joke that is only worthy of mention because of  Campaign for Liberty's connection with former presidential contender, Congressman Ron Pual (R-TX).  

There are several reasons to disbelieve blogger Lock n Load's report.  First, the blogger names AP as his source, but gives no link to an actual AP article, and neither was this writer able to find the story online issued by AP.  Secondly, the article published at Campaign for Liberty does not appear to be in AP's reporting style, leading one to believe the blogger wrote it.  The British news source that Lock n Load claims has carried news about President Obama's Kenyan birth on the front page all day - Britain 's Daily Mailaso - was not listed among British news sources at http://www.world-newspapers.com/uk.html

If Lock n Load's report is debunked as expected, this writer anticipates that her final report on this matter will center on the desperate attempts by numerous parties to have President Obama declared ineligible to serve as president as not being a natural born citizen.  These allegations were raised during President Obama's campaign and continued in the form of lawsuits, some of which survived his election and inauguration.  Regardless of how doubtful the account by blogger Lock n Load is, the fact that his allegation is online in citizens journalism and traveling through group emails is itself news.

********************************

If nothing else, Lock n Load's report may illustrate that irresponsible reporting is something for bloggers to avoid, especially as citizens journalism supplants mainstream media as the major news source for many people. Trust is essential in journalism, which is one reason why citizens journalism is enjoying such success.  In recent years, there was a loss of trust in the completeness and accuracy of news reports provided by mainstream media when people read numerous bona fide reports in citizens journalism that were omitted from mainstream media.  

This writer anticipates completing a report regarding disgruntled persons who continually attack President Obama's eligibility for presidency and the need for credibility in citizens journalism. That will likely be the theme of this piece once more information is known.  For now, the fact that such a report is going forward on the Internet is the only news report that this writer is making.

An email was sent to Campaign for Liberty asking for notification once the news has been debunked or authenticated.  This writer received the following response:

"Your report has been submitted successfully. Someone will be with you shortly. Thanks!"

Campaign for Liberty published the following mission statement on its website:

"Our mission is to promote and defend the great American principles of individual liberty, constitutional government, sound money, free markets, and a noninterventionist foreign policy, by means of educational and political activity."

A "Happy 4th of July" video by Dr. Ron Paul is on the home page for Campaign for Liberty at this link:  http://www.campaignforliberty.com/ .  Paul was an unsuccessful Republican Party primary candidate in the 2008 presidential election.  Wikipedia reports, "On June 12, 2008 Paul announced that he was ending the presidential campaign, investing the more than $4.7 million of remaining campaign contributions to build up the new advocacy group Campaign for Liberty." 

Campaigning for the presidency usually ends prior to the U.S. presidential inauguration ceremony.  Usually.

UPDATE - 7/8/09

I find it interesting that people are still speculating about President Obama's citizenship eight months after the election, or are they?  Do those who make allegations that the president is not a natural born citizen really believe them, or are they merely sour grapes because their preferred candidate lost?  That appears to be the case. 

I never received any responsive email from Campaign for Liberty.  I expected to at least get a disclaimer about blogs posted at the site.  I take issue with citizens journalism or any media putting forth misinformation.  Blogger Lock n Load obviously lied, created a fake AP reference, and Campaign for Liberty allows his lies to run on the site with a mere "Unverified" over the report.  That is not good enough.  The blog should be removed. 

For the sake of free press, it is acceptable for a citizens journalism site to let a news story run unverified for no more than 24 hours, I think.   Items submitted as being "news" should be substantiated within a reasonable time or removed.  Bloggers should NOT be allowed to concoct false press releases and slap on references to major news sources to lend credibility to lies.  If bloggers are allowed to run amuck, they will wreck citizens journalism. 

Some people really do have bona fide and certified news reports that are deliberately omitted from mainstream news due to censorship, like myself.  Therefore, I am particularly offended about bloggers being allowed to give citizens journalism a reputation for misinformation and slander.  See http://wrongfuldeathoflarryneal.com

Congressman Paul did not lose the election to President Obama - he lost the Republican nomination to Sen. McCain.  This means Paul would not have won the presidency even if President Obama had never left Hawaii, WHERE HE WAS BORN.

Obama is a man for breaking records.  Not only is he the first black and third youngest elected president, but his is the longest-running election.  It seems to be ongoing in the minds of some people.  That's enough records, I think - and hope.

No response in my email to the inquiry about the Campaign for Liberty blogger's article, maybe because of the holiday weekend.   I was surprised to see that Lock n Load's article is still online today, frankly.

While I wish it were true, this story seems to be copy of April 1st article that was circulating and Snopes and others have debunked.

Yes, it is obviously fake.  AP never made that report, and Lock n Load's blog should be taken down.  Campaign for Liberty should be responsible enough to do so immediately.  The "liberty" of free speech should never be used for slander and malicious gossip masquerading as journalism. 

Every online site where I have submitted articles offers the option of submitting "opinion" pieces.  Lock n Load's aim was not to put forth an opinion, but to deliberately mislead those who read his blog.  Therefore, he submitted the lies as being factual and even misrepresented it as being from Associated Press.

Thanks for your comments.

Fact:  BO HAS NOT provided the long form birth certificate

Fact: BO HAS paid law firms thousands to use every legal route to conceal his past and prevent any progress obtaining the long form birth certificate.  The short form provided is easily obtained even for people NOT BORN in Hawaii and therefore proves NOTHING.  .  

You folks who voted for BO so he could be the first black president may wish to ignore these facts but they are there nonetheless.  Before you start calling people liars, find out the FACTS.

Thank you for sharing your opinion at this article, PNeale.

As a matter of fact, I voted for Hillary, not because I felt that President Obama could not do a fine job as president, but because I was concerned that he might not be able to engender substantial support to win the election.  He did, so the matter is closed for me.  I don't believe haggling over the birth certificate is productive.  I assume that those in authority checked the issue thoroughly already, as the protests surrounding the president's birth began long before election day.  Therefore, I believe President Obama is a natural born U.S. citizen.

It is interesting that Lock n Load published a completely false report and even sought to lend it validity by manufacturing a false AP reference.  I am not wrong to call that report false, because it is.  Not only is it false, it is deemed so unimportant that AP and the Obama administration do not seek to find and prosecute the person who published the false report, although Lock n Load may want to consider that such behavior is actionable.  Campaign for Liberty outlined lofty goals in its mission statement, but it may accomplish less than it could with its credibility damaged due to invalid reports going forward on its website.

Notwithstanding my belief that Obama was born in Hawaii, let me give you another fact:  If the president is not a natural born citizen and those persons who had the responsibility and power to certify his citizenship decided to collude and allow a falsehood (which must be what you assert), then there is absolutely nothing that you or others will be able to do about it, anyway, regardless of lawsuits. Court is not what you think. 

Furthermore, I would think that since the president has satisfied the requirements of office sufficiently in the minds of the Electoral College and the Supreme Court, which determined not to hear the matter, it is not up to President Obama to present anything further.  Rather, it should be up to his accusers to produce proof that their claims have merit.  Otherwise, I assume that none of you have more to offer than Lock n Load - conjecture substantiated by lies. 

President Obama ran for office against powerful people with adequate resources to find any hidden facts that would be obstacles to his election.  Consider that if they did not substantiate his ineligibility based on citizenship, there is no reason to believe such claims.  For example, former President George Bush campaigned for Sen. McCain.  Consider the former president's vast surveillance network, which one might safely assume was capable of discovering false birth records.  See yesterday's report by Yahoo News (7/11/09)

TOO FEW OFFICIALS KNEW OF SURVEILLANCE
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090711/ap_on_go_co/us_domestic_surveillance;_ylt=Aq0Bvo2UN9KPQ69h2hu9CvdH2ocA;_ylu=X3oDMTM4ZzlzazhuBGFzc2V0Ay9hcC8yMDA5MDcxMS9hcF9vbl9nb19jby91c19kb21lc3RpY19zdXJ2ZWlsbGFuY2UEY3BvcwMyBHBvcwMyBHNlYwN5bl90b3Bfc3RvcmllcwRzbG

WASHINGTON – Not enough relevant officials were aware of the size and depth of an unprecedented surveillance program started under President George W. Bush, let alone signed off on it, a team of federal inspectors general found.

The Bush White House pulled in a great quantity of information far beyond the warrantless wiretapping previously acknowledged, the IGs reported. They questioned the legal basis for the effort but shielded almost all details on grounds they're still too secret to reveal.

It is unlikely that Mr. Bush is a secret Democrat, isn't it?  I am curious.  Who did you support in the election?

I found this blog in my effort to verify the referrenced "news" article.  As I could find no link back to AP, I decided that it was probably fake.  Mary Neal argues well on that point.

In the interest of full information, I am a member of C4L.  I have tried on several occasions to get a response from management there.  While they are obviously doing some good work, at least from the perspective of one interested in individual rights, and limited, constitutional, and fiscally responsible government, responding to correspondence is not one of C4L's strong suits.  So do not feel slighted that you did not get an immediate response.  Neiter do I.  In part, this is because C4L is running a tight ship, small bureaucracy in proportion to the quarter million people signed up.

However, I disagree with the author that the issue of Obama's residency is a settled issue.  Why would he spend the hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to keep this concealed if he did not have anything to hide?

For you Obamites, I urge you to pay attention.  Obama has created his own (Hitler?) youth corps, he has shredded the already Bush-shredded constitution, he has taken many actions NOT authorized either by law or the constitution ( the take over of private industry), he has erected a multitude of "czars" that are more or less independent of the checks and balances of a constitutional republic, he seems bent on punishing his enemies and denying them basic rights ( see DHS memos, "Hate Crime" legislation that leaves decisions to his atty. Gen., not a court of law, and more.)  His chief of staff has threatened folks with the wrath of the IRS and the lap dog media (Chrysler bond holders,) and he proposes a national police force as big and as well funded as the military.  For what purpose?   In just a few months time, our Federal Government has come to own or control some 33% of our economy.  Fascism, anyone?


I have been saying for some months, that it is at least a 50-50 proposition that he could turn out to be an American Hitler.  And the odds are getting "better" all the time.

Thank you for your input, Ken.  I particularly appreciate hearing from a member of C4L, as the site never responded.  Of course, I am not privy to the inner workings of our government or the Obama admn., so I cannot presume to answer for them.  I frequently forward articles and requests for information on my brother who was secretly incarcerated until dead in Shelby County Jail in Memphis in 2003 to the USDOJ at the email address below.  We have been on a quest for records related to Larry Neal's arrest and disclosure about the circumstances for nearly six years.  Perhaps you should write to the DOJ about your concerns using this link that is on their website also.  I cannot answer your questions.
AskDOJ@usdoj.gov 

Also, the White House has online forums open for citizens to use to communicate with Washington at http://www.whitehouse.gov/CONTACT/ 

As you probably know, the Obama administration prides itself on open disclosure.  I am sure that if you contact the offices above you will get the information you need to put your mind at ease.  I am sorry my article did not accomplish that for you.

Thanks again for writing in response to this article.  See more of my articles at http://NowPublic.com/duo    -- If there is anything the C4L can do to help my family find out about my brother's death, let me know!
