Dear Mr. Martin,

You have been very outspoken on the issue of Barack Obama’s ineligibility which is commendable.

When interviewed by KITV4 News, you were asked:

“If the child of an immigrant should not be the president of the United States?”

And your response was quite telling…

“If his parents didn’t meet the natural born test when he was born, personally I would enforce the Constitution…Yes”

You yourself recently announced your candidacy for the President of the United States. However, your own status as to being a “natural born Citizen” has been questioned several times recently and you dismissed it as a distraction from Obots.

The issue for the record is this:

Were both of your parents citizens (naturalized by statute or by natural law) at the time of your birth?

Your father at birth, Ralph Bernard Martin-Trigona became a naturalized citizen on September 5, 1950; after you were born in 1945. The moment of truth is upon us and cannot be denied. “We the People” demand to know with certainty the citizenship status of both of your parents at the time of your birth. Unless you can document to the contrary, this Alien Registration card as evidenced in the photograph assigning the Alien Registration number of 6266616 to your Father in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn New York is sufficient to preclude you from being a “natural born Citizen” and subsequently from having the necessary qualifications for the job per Article 2 Section 1 Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution.

Let it be shown, made manifest and retold for all those with ears to hear; this is your response when asked by individuals who are not Obots and have no agenda other than trying to verify the veracity of the underlying claims:

“Thanks for the inquiry. The questions you relate do indeed come from Obamabots as you correctly note. I have offered to release my birth certificate when Obama releases his. I don’t see any of the other presidential candidates being asked to respond to similar challenges. Obama is, as usual, targeting only me with his tactics because I am the only opponent he fears in November, 2012. And, as usual, I am flattered by his/their attention. Again, thanks for asking, and thanks for your thoughts.“

Respectfully Mr. Martin your response was woefully inadequate.

First of all, you were given a teachable moment and you failed miserably.

Secondly, as a presidential candidate your actions should demonstrate a natural ability to lead. It should be evident to the voters you are trying to win over, that you are a man of character and honor in everything you do; not just when it is forced upon you. The leader for these United States, not to mention of the “Free World” needs to comport a principled statesman-like demeanor; a man or woman willing to do the right thing even during the hard times. Someone who has proven over and over again they can be trusted to always put the interests and security of the nation above all else.

Thirdly, in light of your efforts to compel transparency from Obama and the controlling authorities complicit in allowing his treasonous usurpation to continue, you should actively be seeking to be a part of the solution, not exacerbating our nation’s distress in her hour of need. However, what conclusion are we to draw from your actions other than you are trying to perpetuate it? Your assertion that you “don’t see any of the other presidential candidates being asked to respond to similar challenges” is either recklessly naive or patently and absurdly false.

An Illinois election expert explains the dilemma at the core of our Constitutional Crisis of which no less than 32 candidates were challenged in the last election cycle:

“According to Illinois Statute, candidates running for office self-certify that they are legally qualified for office. They sign and certify a Statement of Candidacy and submit it to the election authority, who then decides if the application to be on the ballot is in “apparent conformity” with the law. Election authorities in Illinois have independent authority to determine what is in “apparent conformity” with the law, thus these standards literally vary from election to election, AND from county to county. However, Illinois statutes do not require proof of citizenship or evidence of being constitutionally eligible to be produced. The election authority cannot ask for proof of citizenship for any measure of “apparent conformity”. The result is no candidate is screened for constitutional eligibility. They self certify without placing any proof in the public record.
Note – Proof of all other measures of being legally qualified are part of the public record for the election. This effectively means that there is no public record from the election, verifying if anyone running for office is constitutionally eligible based on citizenship, or as in the case of President and Vice President -
“Natural Born Citizenship.”


Following the period to qualify for ballot position, the public can challenge candidates who want to be on their ballot. This process is prohibitive because there is no public record proving the candidate’s self certifying affirmation of being legally qualified (i.e. U.S. Citizen). Thus, the public must challenge based on the lack of proof.


No one running for office has had their citizenship posted as part of the public record for the election. Unless they post proof on their website, there is no place for the election authorities to store proof of something that they are not allowed to ask for.”

Mr. Martin you say you are “The Right Republican for President of the United States” however, two wrongs don’t make a right. All candidates for President and Vice-President must be held to the same standard which requires them to be a natural born Citizen. The eligibility issue has always been about the electoral process which is an honor system and in 2008 Obama/Soetoro and Pelosi dishonored that system. You have to understand that if you are choosing to be secretive and obfuscatory as a means by which you will somehow make Obama look even more hypocritical than he already is, then that is your own personal battle you are waging but “We the People” can’t support you because it would put us in the untenable position of discrediting ourselves as hypocrites. You may have some sort of strategy for personally bringing down Obama, but you can’t throw out the baby with the bath water.

Mr. Obama has proven to be the quintessential exemplar for the age old idiom:

“If you leave a politician up to his/her own devices…
…things can go horribly wrong exceedingly fast.”

Therefore, Mr. Martin you should be able to understand why a great many Americans will be looking for a person above reproach to be their next POTUS and CIC and that starts with walking around with their birth certificate plastered to their forehead. If you do not, than it shows your personal failings of being willing to subvert national security and the rule of law for your own personal agenda or that of a political party wanting to rewrite the Constitution without using the Amendment process to do so.

LTC Terry Lakin fell on his sword for this country and “We the People” say it shall not be in vain.

Surely you have noticed from the recent polling that even after two years running, the citizens of the country have awakened and are getting engaged in this fight for truth and justice. They are sick and tired of being sick and tired of the political shell game. State legislatures are already proffering laws that purportedly will address this chink in the armor, yet when analyzed closely the devil once again is in the details. For example, Arizona SB 1308 actually tries to define the status of a permanent legal resident or a citizen with dual-nationalities as equal to that of a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. This in direct violation to Article 2 Section 1 Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution which says:

“No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.”

It is with great foresight that the Founders instituted this safeguard against dual-allegiances in order to prevent any future leaders of the nation and the Commander-in-Chief of its Armed Forces from surrendering its sovereignty in any capacity to foreign influences.

Therefore Mr. Martin, “We the People” respectfully demand you publicly establish proof of your eligibility that would stand up in a court of law. No one is above the law for any reason. Period.

Understand this though, even if you post a digital image of a document that refers to another document on your website or wave it around for the cameras at a press conference; you will ultimately be expected to provide documented proof that would stand up to evidentiary rules in a court of law whereby licensed document examiners will be given sufficient access necessary to attest to its veracity.

So as you now have formally filed for candidacy for the President of the United States by signing and certifying a Statement of Candidacy for the election years 2000 and 2012 and duly submitted to the election authority to determine the “apparent conformity” of your application and possible access to the ballot, be it known that your own words shall ring true as to the nature of these illustrious records where you yourself promulgated them as “historical archives.”

Even though it is a requirement that has been overlooked until now, “We the People” will be scrutinizing this step of the process with meticulous and unerring surety.

Pray tell Mr. Martin; please enlighten us as to who is on your shortlist for Attorney General to head up the Dept. of Justice? Your quandary belies all precedents. Should you stay the course as the self-proclaimed “King of the Birthers” in pursuit of justice against the Usurper-in-Chief, the moment you succeed; the very same law that brings down Obama will uncloak the eyes of Lady Justice. On the other hand should you choose the path of quid pro quo sealing Obama’s fate satisfactory to yours thereby eluding the Constitutional mandates, then Mr. Holder could probably be persuaded to stick around.

Nevermore, Mr. Martin, Nevermore!

Respectfully,
Concerned Citizen and Defender of the Truth
