This motivation, to prove Obamas citizenship status, birth place and eligibility, by releasing the original birth certificate, was reiterated in January 2012 by Georgia attorney Michael Jablonski representing Obama in David Farrar v.

Plaintiff took Obama up on his invitation to view said document. The document Plaintiff viewed and researched is integral to and explicitly relied upon in this complaint. The Presumption of Truth The Secretary Initially Affords Candidates Has Been Undermined Concerning Candidate Obamas Eligibility
36. Plaintiff researched Hawaii law concerning vital records that requires signatures on original
birth certificates to be made in permanent ink.41 Hawaii Public Health Regulations Title: Vital Statistics, Registration & Records. Chapter 8, Certificates of Vital Statistics Events, Section 1. Preparation. Certificates of vital statistics events are to be filled in by typewriter or in ink. If ink
ink. In all other respects, the certificates shall comply with provisions of Section 57-14, R.L.H. 1955. 42 (Emphasis added) Like most people today it has been standard practice for many years for Plaintiff to buy software, learn about it and use it successfully. The software and
mother on the Certificate of Live Birth, posted on the White House website on April 27th, 2011, and saw that it goes from pixels that are consistent with ink to non-ink pixels one letter to the
Pr
next. The pixels in the 'Ann' and the 'D' in Dunham are consistent with ink written penmanship.
But, right next to it, the unham and Obama have no visible pixilation, revealing that this part of the signature was computer created andis not even penmanship. It did not take a trained

eye to see this anomaly. 43 Plaintiff concluded, based on research of Hawaii Vital Records procedures and law, that it was not possible for an authentic signature, on an original 1961 Certificate of Live Birth, to be a compilation of what appears to be a partial ink signature and a confirmed computer created non-ink signature. A scan of an original ink signature, as signatures were required to be in ink by Hawaii law in 1961 and today, would have pixels
consistent with ink pixels throughout the entire signature. This lack of consistency revealed that the signature was a compilation, a forged signature which renders the entire document fraudulent.
37. The inconsistency of the pixels that Plaintiff saw in this report, the fact that the birth certificate was a PDF file and not a scanned photocopy, along with other anomalies noted by
manufactured in the computer and never originally existed in paper form. 38. On March 1 and July 17, 2012 Sheriff Joe Arpaio from the Maricopa County Sheriff Department held a press conference wherein he made public the results of a law enforcement

39. Plaintiff wrote letters to Candidate Obama and the Secretary informing them that the identity document Obama is using to prove eligibility was forged. 46 40. Plaintiff read a March 27th, 2012 decision by the Alabama Supreme Court wherein Justice Tom Parker, In re: Hugh McInnish v. Beth Chapman, 1110665 wrote that , McInnish has attached certain documentation to his mandamus petition, which, if presented to the appropriate forum as part of a proper evidentiary presentation, would raise serious questions about the

Sheriff investigators found entries on the document that were altered; they found entries that were added at a later date where they could clearly identify that a different typewriter, ink, and/or handwriting was inserted. All signs of forgery according to the SSA.
43. In 1961, the purported year of Obamas birth, original long form Hawaiian birth certificates were not created in a computer or generated by a computer. Hawaii DOH did not begin producing computerized vital records until 2001. In an April 27th, 2011 Press Release, announcing that Hawaii DOH had granted Obamas request to get photocopies of his original birth certificate, the Governor of Hawaii, Neil Abercrombie, stated that Hawaii began issuing
Certification of Live Birth and a photocopy of an original birth certificate are different documents. In 2001, the Hawaii State Department of Health began computer-generating vital statistic records. Since then, its longstanding policy and practice has been to issue and provide
records to fulfill requests for certified copies of certificates. 49 (Emphasis added) A Memo was included in the Press Release from the Director of the Hawaii DOH, dated May 15, 2001, which

stated that, ...the Department of Health will henceforth issue and provide only computer generated abstracts of birth and marriage records and cease to produce photocopies of actual records to satisfy requests for certified copies of certificates 50 (Emphasis added)

Obama Waivered 44. This fact, that Hawaii DOH no longer gave out photocopies of original vital records, was important to Plaintiff because in April 2011 Obama and his personal lawyer, Judith Corley, 51 asked Hawaii DOH to grant him a waiver in order to get what they had quit giving out: photocopies of original birth certificates. And Hawaii granted that waiver. 52 Corely flew to Hawaii to pick them up. 53 That a PDF file 54 was posted on the White House Website, not a
scanned photocopy, confirmed to Plaintiff it was not what Obama asked for or what he says he received.

When the authenticity of an original birth certificate is called in to question SSA employees are instructed to ask applicants to request a copy of their original birth certificate if it is available and would not be a hardship to get. 58 51.

53. By inviting Plaintiff to view and come to a conclusion about his original 1961 birth certificate, Candidate Obama has conferred a level of expertise to Plaintiff concerning said document. Closing 54. Plaintiff has presented substantial evidence that the purported original, 1961 long form
Certificate of Live Birth, for Candidate Barack Obama, posted on the White House Website on April 27, 2011, is a forgery.
55. Plaintiff has demonstrated that Candidate Obama, whether involved in the forgery or not, has presented this forged document with the express intent to use it as an offer of proof, to every elector in Washington State and to our Secretary of State, that he is an eligible Presidential

The Secretary instructs Write-In Candidates for President and Vice President to sign an Eligibility Oath and instructs them, before they sign the oath, You must ensure that you meet all qualifications of the office.
59. The Secretary has certified Candidate Obamas name for the ballot without instructing him to meet the qualifications and without receiving a signed eligibility oath.
60. The Secretary is violating WAC 434-215-165 by certifying the names of major party Presidential and Vice Presidential Candidates for the General Election ballot without receiving a Certificate of Nomination 63 nomination process.

directly address the Constitutional eligibility issue if the Secretary or Candidate Obama introduced an authenticated birth certificate but at this stage the forged document is the matter at hand. A forged birth certificate can not be used to prove anything except that someone has engaged in the act of forgery and, in this case, that Candidate Obama is using a forged birth certificate to gain access to the ballot. Plaintiff has stated the particulars of the forgery in detail
that Candidate Obama did not know things were not what they seemed concerning his original long form Certificate of Live Birth. Between 2008 and 2012 Candidate Obama has had his
eligibility lawyers arguing in court challenges all over the country that he did not have to show anyone a copy of his original, long form Certificate of Live Birth. In December 2010, just four months before he decided to set his original birth certificate free, Obama watched a
prison rather than release it. 16 Over three years, millions of dollars? and one destroyed military career later Candidate Obama all of a sudden, and with great fanfare, decides to post his original birth certificate on the White House Website simply because he was tired of all this silliness. Hogwash. Obama had a habit of refusing to release his original birth certificate. A pattern of going to court over and over and over again to fight anyone who asked him to produce it. According to one of his lawyers Obama was in court 68 times refusing to produce the document. 17 His decision to release it on April 27, 2011 was completely out of his routine. 18 In

and can speak in generalities as to Obamas knowledge about that forgery. 15 It is inconceivable
a calculated move Candidate Obama, who could no longer deny that questions about his eligibility were a problem in his re-election campaign, had to reveal something to shut people up. It is unlikely that Candidate Obama actually uploaded the forged document on to the White House Website but there is no doubt in Plaintiffs mind that Candidate Obama knew the document was a forgery. Candidate Obama may not escape liability because he looked the other
writes that, Actual knowledge and deliberate avoidance of knowledge where the defendant cut off his normal curiosity by an effort of will are the same thing. If you find the defendant had a strong suspicion that things were not what they seemed or that the defendant knew or strongly suspected that he was involved in criminal activity but deliberately avoids learning so, then you may conclude that he acted knowingly. 19
with the cover of plausible deniability. A reporter at the White House Press Conference on April 27, 2011 wondered if one of the photocopies of the original birth certificate was going to be available for public view, he asked, Q Will the President be holding it? MR. PFEIFFER: He
adamant about keeping a mans own birth certificate out of his own hands? Plaintiff contends that the facts demonstrate there is no plausible deniability in the present instance. Obama can not claim the Ostrich Defense by sticking his head in the sand or the Toddlers Defense by sticking his fingers in his ears and yelling La, la, la, la, la really loud. For over a year Candidate Obama has knowingly proffered a forged identity document to the American

voters and to our Secretary of State in an attempt to prove he is a qualified Presidential Candidate for the 2012 general election and in an attempt to defraud the United States of America. 6. Plaintiffs Motion to Show Cause and Affidavit Alleged With Sufficient Certainty Under the Washington State Supreme Court Rules of Procedure, pleadings are primarily
asserted. 21 RCW 29A.68.030 provides that "no statement of contest may be dismissed for want of form if the particular causes of contest are alleged with sufficient certainty." 22
In re Election Contest Filed by Coday ( 497 156 Wn.2d 485, March 2006) the Washington State Supreme Court stated that, "Sufficient certainty" is not defined in the statute, nor have we had occasion to define that particular term. However, in previous election contest cases, this court
[a]though Respondent's petition did not cite specific subsections of the [election contest] statute, sufficient facts and law were stated concerning the nature of the claim to bring the petition under the statute. Although the petition is not a model of pleading, it is nevertheless adequate so long as it is sufficient to satisfy necessary legal requirements. And Although we did not indicate what the "necessary legal requirements" are in an election contest petition or affidavit, we referred to the standard articulated in Lightner v. Balow, 59 Wn.2d 856, 370 P.2d 982 (1962). In Lightner, this court recognized that "a complaint should not be dismissed for failure to state a

claim unless it appears beyond doubt that the plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of his claim which would entitle him to relief." 24 7. Birth Certificate Critical To Proving Eligibility As Presidential Candidate Plaintiff asserts that verifying the authenticity of a Presidential Candidates birth certificate, in an attempt to prove age, identity and citizenship status, is more important than verifying the birth
been acknowledged by the government as the primary document to prove age and a natural
born citizenship status which are recognized by the Secretary as eligibility requirements. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Service recognizes the natural born citizenship status, which is required by the Constitution and Washington State in order to qualify as a presidential candidate, as distinct from a naturalized or native citizen. From, Interpretation
the above statutes was not to erase the previous period of alienage, but to restore the person to the status if naturalized, native, or natural-born citizen, as determined by her status prior to loss. 324.2 (3)(a) provides: The repatriation provisions of these two most recent enactments also apply to a native- and natural-born citizen woman who expatriated herself by marriage to an alien and 324.2 (7) states The words "shall be deemed to be a citizen of the United States to the same extent as though her marriage to said alien had taken place on or after September 22, 1922", as they appeared in the 1936 and 1940 statutes, are prospective and restore the status of native-born or natural-born citizen (whichever existed prior to the loss) as of the date

8. Obama Conferred A Level Of Expert Status On Electors Concerning His Purported Birth Certificate Plaintiff asserts that by inviting the public to view the purported birth certificate on the White House Website, with the express intent that we would come to a conclusion about it and his eligibility, Candidate Obama conferred a level of expert status on the public concerning that
conclusion about it, Candidate Obama handed that document over to every voter, every Secretary of State in America and asked them to evaluate it. He hoped electors would conclude it was
authentic and he wanted what he thought would be an affirmative conclusion to translate in to action: that citizens would stop questioning his eligibility, stop asking to see his original birth certificate and accept him as an eligible candidate. Candidate Obama can not say that the
certificate posted on the White House Website on April 27, 2011 is specifically being used by Candidate Obama in his re-election efforts to legitimize his candidacy, gain access to the ballot and to curry votes.
