(Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania – 10/25/08) – Philip J. Berg, Esquire, the Attorney who filed suit against Barack H. Obama challenging Senator Obama’s lack of “qualifications” to serve as President of the United States, announced today that he is immediately appealing the dismissal of his case to the United States Supreme Court. The case is Berg v. Obama, No. 08-cv-04083.
Berg said, “I am totally disappointed by Judge Surrick’s decision and, for all citizens of the United States, I am immediately appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court.
This is a question of who has standing to uphold our Constitution. If I don’t have standing, if you don’t have standing, if your neighbor doesn’t have standing to question the eligibility of an individual to be President of the United States – the Commander-in-Chief, the most powerful person in the world – then who does?
So, anyone can just claim to be eligible for congress or the presidency without having their legal status, age or citizenship questioned.
According to Judge Surrick, we the people have no right to police the eligibility requirements under the U.S. Constitution.
What happened to ‘…Government of the people, by the people, for the people,…’ Abraham Lincoln in his Gettysburg Address 1863.
We must legally prevent Obama, the unqualified candidate, from taking the Office of the Presidency of the United States,” Berg said.
Our website obamacrimes.com now has 71.8 + million hits. We are urging all to spread the word of our website – and forward to your local newspapers and radio and TV stations.
Berg again stressed his position regarding the urgency of this case as, “we” the people, are heading to a “Constitutional Crisis” if this case is not resolved forthwith.

If you are an attorney and you know what you are doing, you should file a lawsuit in your state court system on Monday morning asking the state secretary of state to require Barack Obama to prove he is a natural born citizen or else remove his name from the ballot.
The more I think about this, the more I think Berg is right. This is a representative government, the voter logically should have standing to question the constitutional qualifications of a candidate for the presidency. If the voter doesn’t have standing, who does?
Joe,
9 other state Citizens have taken your advise and filed lawsuits with their Sec. of States: Utah, Hawaii, Wa. Calif. CT., NY, Texas, Missouri, Florida and GA. There may be more since these states have filed. I haven’t looked yet.
Pinetop,
EXACTLY! If the US Citizen doesn’t have standing then who does? This is another example of OUR VOICE NOT BEING HEARD! If this behavior doesn’t change fast then what’s to stop the Citizens from mutinying from their own gov’t?
Handled right, the Fed District Court throwing out Berg for lack of standing can present a political check-mate “win” on appeal for the anti-Obama side (if not in law, in the Court of Public Opinion). Here’s how: SIMPLY SPREAD AROUND OBAMA’S APPELLATE BRIEF HAVING TO ARGUE AGAINST AN AMERICAN VOTER’S RIGHT TO RAISE THE QUESTION UNDER THE CONSTITUTION. Should be a PR disaster for the Dems and Obama!!!
President-elect Obama is an attorney who taught the Constitution at Harvard. I mean, come on. The Queen’s Medical Center in Hawaii has argued that Obama was born in Hawaii. Obama’s birth announcement was in the paper! It is an outrage that Berg is using taxpayer’s money to fund his swiftboat accusations. As if the hospital, government officials, state officials, and newspapers are all in a conspiracy to change records 48 years before the fact! Or, that a Harvard grad who taught Constitutional law would go through the primaries, the elections, win the presidency, then lose it over where he was born. How stupid can these people be to acknowledge these ridiculous claims?
One more interesting issue. It is John Sidney Mccain III who is not a natural born citizen. He was born in Panama which is a sovereign country in which we had a military base. Therefore he is a “citizen after birth” due to his parents being American. Why hasn’t anyone raised the issue of McCain not being a natural born citizen? Read the Constitution because it’s in black and white. McCain was not, has not, and never will be a natural born citizen or entitled to run for the presidency.
Yeah, Lisa I see you’re a real brainiac! Berg is a PRIVATE attorney and IS NOT using tax dollars for his case. He is funding it himself and with other PRIVATE individuals donations! Your info is wrong! Furthermore, your lame analogy that McCain isn’t a real Citizen has been proven in a court that he is indeed a Citizen having been born on American territorial soil! By the way, when asked to produce his papers McCain complied whereas Hussein didn’t!
I suppose Lisa could enlighten all of us as to the LEGAL definition of “natural-born citizen.”
Then, after she has done that, perhaps she could explain how Obama’s father could be Kenyan citizen and still manage to impart a U.S. natural-born citizenship to BO, Jr.
I’d like to see that.
Cheers
