Dr. Taitz, I think you would have a much stronger case if you went after the “Dinner with Barack” lottery (i.e. Internet gambling) issue. Unlike the birther issue, which seems pretty discredited, there is solid proof that the Obama campaign–with Mr. Obama signing his name to at least one solicitation–engaged in what looks a heck of a lot like Internet gambling to raise money for his campaign. Specifically: (1) Payment of consideration (at least $5). Later solicitations were amended to allow entry without a payment, which made them not lotteries or gambling, but at least one and possibly two had no such provisions. (2) Element of chance (”you may be selected to have dinner with Barack Obama”), although the fact that one winner, Dorothy Unruh, was picked before the entries closed suggests that not all entrants had an equal chance to win. (3) A prize (expenses-paid trip to have dinner with Barack Obama). It is also a matter of record that Minnesota law enforcement warned the Obama campaign, and on more than one occasion, that this was illegal in Minnesota. You are the attorney so I suggest that you see if https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/31/usc_sec_31_00005362—-000-.html applies. “The term “unlawful Internet gambling” means to place, receive, or otherwise knowingly transmit a bet or wager by any means which involves the use, at least in part, of the Internet where such bet or wager is unlawful under any applicable Federal or State law in the State or Tribal lands in which the bet or wager is initiated, received, or otherwise made.” |

Birther issue was never discredited and I have my hands full, I can’t take on another issue, at least not now. As it is I get very little sleep and got sick.

As an aside you should also mention your black belt in Taekwondo.
The above note is a good example of why adult supervision of children on the internet is a good thing.

Discredited? Very UNINFORMED! There is more understanding of the Constitutional mandate of “NATURAL BORN” than ever. From a perusal of alternative news sources and the foreign press, America is about ready for a Constitutional Wake Up call which will shake all the pineapples of Hawaii. Orly, you deserve our profound thanks as do all those also whom you represent. We owe you a debt of gratitude.
