Gun Group Accuses Obama Campaign of Swiping Its E-mail List
October 09, 2008 9:45 PM
The National Shooting Sports Foundation -- the trade association for the hunting, shooting sports, firearms, and ammunition industry -- this week sent a legal letter to the Obama campaign accusing the Democrats of misappropriating the trade group's email distribution list.
For the NSSF's annual SHOT (Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade) show, the group has compiled a list of members of the media who attend -- names, emails, mailing addresses. No one gets to use the list without officially renting it.
Somehow, the NSSF charges, on September 27, 2008, the Obama campaign's Hoosier arm -- "Indiana for Change" -- distributed a press release to the SHOT Show media list, one entitled "Statement from Barack Obama on National Hunting and Fishing Day."
"Obama for America through its Indiana for Change arm has violated NSSF's legal rights and caused NSSF damages for partisan political gain," accuses Lawrence Keane, vice president and legal counsel for the trade association, demanding that Obama's campaign stop using the list, destroy it, and pay NSSF a quarter million dollars for having used it.
Keane also says Obama has yet to respond to an inquiry he sent on July 4 asking if the senator believes the Chicago ban on handguns is constitutional in light of the Supreme Court's Heller ruling that D.C.'s ban is not.
The Obama campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

OBAMA LIED ABOUT HIS ACORN Training sessions:
If you go to the current Fight the Smears website today and read up on Barack Obama's connections with ACORN this is what you will find:
The Obama Campaign claims that Barack was never an ACORN trainer and that he was not associated with ACORN in 1992:
• Fact: Barack was never an ACORN community organizer.
• Fact: Barack was never an ACORN trainer and never worked for ACORN in any other capacity.
• Fact: ACORN was not part of Project Vote, the successful voter registration drive Barack ran in 1992
However, The Cleveland Leader did some digging around in the internet archives and found some information that was recently erased by ACORN.

Hacking email, stealing email lists, voter fraud, what does it take to get people to understand that the Obama organization has decided it is above the law and anything goes?
Try this: when you see the commercials for those prime time specials, remember the hedge fund investors who have financed Obama. How did Obama pay?
That is your 401k and your child's college fund buying him prime time.

What is going on in the MSM today ?
did they feel the wind is turning BY reporting thousands of FRAUD attempts by Obama supporters ?
The NYT is reporting on illegal, fraudulent contributions to Obama’s campaign…over 3,000 gibberish, imaginary names that the Times was able to find, after reviewing only a small portion of Obama’s $450 million in donations.
The NY Post is also reporting that Obama-supporting ACORN bribed homeless people with cash and cigarettes to illegally register to vote 72 times in attempts to multi-vote fraudulently for Obama in Ohio.
CNN is reporting that thousands of voter registrations ACORN submitted for Obama in Indiana ARE FAKE: dead people, fictitious people, gibberish names. Indiana’s ACORN offices are now being investigated. That brings the total of states conducting ACORN/Obama investigations to 16.
In Texas, over 4,000 DEAD PEOPLE are on the voting registration books — and some of those people were dead during the primaries, but voted anyway. ACORN in Texas is now being investigated too.

There IS a RICO investigation of ACORN and the Obama campaign underway - this has now been established by the mainstream media. Right now it’s rumored here in Chicago that Patrick Fitzgerald is heading it (confirmation on that has not come yet). There is a lot of activity in Chicago right now, with a lot of IRS agents looking into the finances coming in and out of this city, and across state lines (this was established on Monday when the GOP issued emergency press releases that much of Obama’s campaign contributions could very well be illegal foreign contributions - what appears to be deliberately poor record keeping designed to hide the true identities and monetary sources of online donors is at issue here). We see in 15 states now that ACORN is being busted for attempted voter fraud, and for fraudulent, illegal voter registratons in the hundreds of thousands, if not a million. The article below states, and we have confirmed this with people who know for sure, that the people who gathered evidence of Obama’s fraud and voter intimidation techniques during the primaries against Hillary Clinton are sharing everything they have with the Republican Party and the federal government.
What’s happening here is something we have never seen before: centrist Clinton Democrats and Republicans are working together to expose the DNC and Obama campaign’s illegal activities and orchestrated, coordinated fraud. Both parties are working with federal agents to investigate ACORN, which has been funded with upwards of $800,000 in questionable donations from the Obama campaign (in what appears to be the expressed and explicit direction to engineer voter fraud in the general election). The tactics being employed now in the 15 states currently under investigation are the VERY SAME TACTICS we saw on the ground in Iowa, Texas, Colorado, Nebraska, Indiana, and other states working for Hillary Clinton in the primaries.
And all of this ties back to Chicago.
Where the Obama campaign and DNC are now based.
Where people we know tip us off to little things to pay attention to that, when pieced together with all the other little pieces that are revealing themselves, leads to a single conclusion: there will be indictments for all of this.
We don’t know when they will come — but they will come. There is just too much here to ignore.

For goodness' sakes, the certificate they produced shows the exact hour and minute Obama was born.
BOTH Obama and McCain are US citizens. This is a non-issue.
When will some of you get it in that Obama DOES not want to take away people's guns. He just wants more regulations so it's not so easy for criminals or people planning a murder spree to get their hands on them. Sure, he's no gun lover, but even if he WANTED to take away your guns, he couldn't. It has to pass through so many things are right now the majority of Supreme Court Justices are conservatives. Even if he appointed more liberal Supreme Court Justices, it wouldn't even be a majority enough to overturn the Second Amendment.

We used to hang out at the bar in Punkin Center, Missouri. The beer buddies were great fun. We went hunting on the weekends. But I would not vote for any of them for President. ................

C'mon people. Read my post. Rat, McCain being a citizen is not enough, but as I and others have pointed out, the Senate granted him NBC status last year.

James
I'll show you yours' when you show me yours'!! Obamas mommy is American, his daddy is African and he was born outside of the U.S.. Both of Johns parents are "AMERICAN". COM-PRE-HEND?

James feels the need to repost his problem with McCain. Here's my answer again.
James, what I wrote was that:
the issue is moot since there was no anticipation of it during the time the requirements for presidency were written.
There have been no challenges to the requirement since.
If the issue of McCain's NBC status was seriously a problem, the Supreme Court would be the body which would have to make a ruling on it.
Given the make up of the current Supreme Court, it is most likely that they would rule in favor of granted NBC status to Gov. McCain.
Since no one is willing to go all the way to the SC and push for an immediate ruling, due to time constraints as well as my previous point that they would most likely rule in favor of granting him NBC status, the issue is moot.
Obama's citizenship status is another story with other factors involved that could easily be settled if he would only provide the required documents to the court that has ordered their submission. He has not done this which is why there is such a ruckus. If he's unwilling to prove legit status, the assumption is that he can't, regardless of his past claims that he has cooperated. The proof is in the pudding.

Louis Farrakhan Declares Obama the Messiah
Louis Farrakhan: the leader of Nation of Islam...
Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, another powerful Chicago-based political figure associated with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and other long-time associates of Democratic Party presidential candidate Barack Obama, is leaving no doubt about what he thinks of the leader in the campaign for the White House.
He says when Obama talks "the Messiah is absolutely speaking."
Drudge Report is running this….
Farrakhan on Obama: ‘The Messiah is absolutely speaking’
‘Barack has captured the youth,’ will bring about ‘universal change’

How and WHY did the Republican Party just get an 8 million $$ bailout from failing Wachovia Bank? The shareholders get stiffed, but Wachovia has the money to "loan" the Repubs 8 million. They can't loan small companies money to meet their payrolls, but they can come up with 8 million for the Repubs to run their campaign on.

Heading back to college this fall? Rupert Murdoch will be waiting.
In May, his Fox News subsidiary bought a stake in a Web video-based college news network featuring student reporters called Palestra. This fall, he'll be ramping up the partnership.

Q.
Why wont john mccain show his birth certificate ????
A.
Because he is not a natural born citizen. He can not be President.
Posted by: JAMES | Oct 10, 2008 8:05:38 AM
Why won't Brotha Obama show his certificate in the light? Its not a hard thing to do,is it? McCains' dad and mom are citizens of the U.S. and I believe he was at the Panama zone where he was stationed in the USNAVY. This thing with Obama not opening up his credentials to all doesn't pass the stink test. Just like all the rest of his lunatic fringe!
Posted by: commrat72 | Oct 10, 2008 8:03:18 AM
To be President you have to be a natural born citizen:
Constitution setting out who is eligible to be president. Article II, which also specifies that a person must be at least 35 years old, says "No person except a natural born Citizen" can be president.
Barack Obama was born in the US so he can McCain wasnt so he can't.
Sen. McCain is undoubtedly a citizen. He was born on Aug. 29, 1936, in the Panama Canal Zone, and Congress has specifically provided that anyone born there of U.S. parents, as he was, is a citizen. Indeed, the general rule is that anyone born of U.S. parents outside the United States is a citizen.
But is John McCain a natural born citizen? The Constitution does not define the term further, and legal scholars say the notes of the Constitution's drafters shed little light on what they meant. It seems clear only that the founders wanted to make certain that whoever was president would be loyal to the U.S. alone and not to some other country. But the term "natural born citizen," many scholars say, was not in common use at the time the Constitution was written.
In 1964, the Supreme Court ruled that "natural born" meant born inside the United States. In an opinion on an unrelated issue, the court observed, "The rights of citizenship of the native born and of the naturalized person are of the same dignity and are coextensive. The only difference drawn by the Constitution is that only the 'natural born' citizen is eligible to be President."
U.S. 'never had sovereignty' over Canal Zone Besides, many legal scholars say the Canal Zone never was sovereign U.S. territory. In a February 1978 speech to the nation on the Panama Canal Treaty, heavily vetted by government lawyers, President Carter said, "We have never had sovereignty over it. We have only had the right to use it. The US Supreme Court and previous American presidents have repeatedly acknowledged the sovereignty of Panama over the Canal Zone."
