		<description><![CDATA[<p>Just when you thought Janet &#34;<a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/vote-obama-go-hell">Vote for Obama and Go to Hell</a>&#34; Porter couldn't get any crazier, it turns out that she can and is, by <a href="http://www.christiannewswire.com/news/192118676.html">throwing in</a> with right-wing crackpot Philip Berg and his crusade to expose to America that Barack Obama is not eligible to be President of the United States:</p><blockquote><p>There are critical issues that need to be resolved before the Electoral College makes the election official in mid-December. Faith2Action has placed a full page ad in next Monday's issue of The Washington Times National Weekly, a publication that is read by many of our nation's leaders, to address them.</p><p>The ad asks these three questions: (1) &#34;Was Barack Obama born in Kenya?&#34;; (2) &#34;Is he really a citizen of Indonesia?&#34;; and (3) &#34;Does the Constitution still matter?&#34; These questions point to various cases that have been filed before the U.S. Supreme Court and other Federal courts. The ad also lays out several alarming facts which question whether the Constitutional requirements for becoming President are satisfied by Senator Barack Obama.</p><p>&#34;Attorney Philip Berg, multiple legal cases, and a growing number of American citizens are demanding answers to these critical questions,&#34; states Janet (Folger) Porter, the founder and president of Faith2Action. &#34;The Constitution and our nation's future are too important to not fully investigate this.&#34;</p><p>&#34;It's our hope that the American people will rise up and call for Congressional hearings and immediate court action to avoid a Constitutional crisis,&#34; added Porter. &#34;If we are willing to ignore the Constitutional requirements for the highest office of the land, what else are we willing to forgo? That part about free speech? Freedom of the press? Freedom of religion?&#34;</p></blockquote><p>If you check out Berg's webpage <a href="http://obamacrimes.com/index.php">Obama Crimes</a> you can read the <a href="http://www.obamacrimes.com/attachments/058_Berg%20v%20Obama%20Petition%20for%20Writ%20of%20Certiorari.pdf">Writ of Certiorari</a> [PDF] he's filed with the US&#160;Supreme Court in which the defendant is listed thusly:</p><blockquote><p>BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA, a/k/a<br />BARACK HUSSEIN DUNHAM a/k/a/<br />BARACK HUSSEIN SOETORO a/k/a<br />BARRY OBAMA a/k/a<br />BARRY DUNHAM a/k/a<br />BARRY SOETORO</p></blockquote> <p>Just how professional is Berg's operation, you ask?&#160; Well, they are <a href="http://www.obamacrimes.com/index.php/news/63-we-have-received-a-lot-of-emails-from-american-citizens-asking-what-they-can-do-to-be-heard-">asking supporters</a> to contact the Supreme Court Justices directly and ask them to hear the case:</p><blockquote><p>As citizens, you can individually write letters to each of the Court Justices addressing your concerns with respect to Mr. Obama's fulfillment of the requirements to serve as the President of the United States laid out in Article II, Section I of The United States Constitution.</p><p>United States Supreme Court<br />1 First Street NE<br />Washington DC 20543</p><p>The Supreme Court Justices are as follows:</p><p>Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts<br />Supreme Court Justice John Stevens<br />Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia<br />Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy<br />Supreme Court Justice David Souter<br />Supreme Court Justice Thomas Clarence<br />Supreme Court Justice Ruth Ginsburg<br />Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer<br />Supreme Court Justice Samual Alito</p></blockquote><p>I don't know about you, but I&#160;suspect that asking supporters to write letters to Justices &#34;Thomas Clarence&#34; and &#34;Samual&#34;&#160;Alito is probably going to end up doing more harm than good to their ridiculous little effort.</p>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The shadow of the Sept. 11 terror attacks is eclipsing press freedom and other Constitutional safeguards in the United States, Associated Press President and CEO Tom Curley said Thursday.
&#8220;What has become clear in the aftermath of 9/11 is how much expediency trumps safeguards,&#8221; Curley said in remarks prepared for the annual dinner of the Radio [...]]]></description>
