FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT
FOR DECLARTORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
1. Article II, Section I of the United States Constitution, states in
particular part, "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."
2. "The general doctrine of our Constitution is, that the executive
power of the nation is vested in the President; subject only to the exceptions and
qualifications, which are expressed in the instrument." 7 Works of Alexander
Hamilton, J. C. Hamilton ed. (New York: 1851), 76, 80-81 (emphasis in
original), U.S. Constitution, Article II (Hamilton and Madison.)
3. Plaintiff is a life long Democrat who had always been proud of his
Party. Plaintiff is a licensed attorney in good standing and has taken an oath to uphold
the United States Constitution. Plaintiff has donated money and billable hours to
Democratic Presidential candidates as well as to the Democratic National Committee.
Plaintiff has relied on the Democratic National Committee's [hereinafter
"DNC"] promises to uphold our Constitution, which includes properly vetting our
Presidential Nominee and ensuring our Party's Nominee is eligible to serve as
President of the United States pursuant to Article II, Section 1 of our United States
Constitution.
4. Plaintiff has trusted the Federal Election Commission [hereinafter
"FEC"] that they would ensure our Presidential and Congressional candidates are
eligible for the positions which they were seeking and running a fair and legitimate
campaign process. Plaintiff has relied on the FEC, DNC and all our Elected Office Holders
to uphold our Constitution and to ensure an illegal alien and/or a naturalized citizen
would not be able to secure the position of President of the United States.
5. The Democratic National Party is supposed to represent Democratic
Americans in seeking Honest Leadership, Open Government, Real Security, Energy
Independence, Economic Prosperity, Educational Excellence, a Healthcare System that works
for Everyone and Retirement Security. The Democratic Party is supposed to represent and
protect the interests of working Americans and guaranteeing personal liberties for all.
This includes securing a Democratic Nominee on the Presidential Election ballot who
represents the Democratic vision and who is qualified and eligible to run for Office of
the President pursuant to the qualifications of the United States Constitution.
6. The actions of Barack Hussein Obama [hereinafter "Obama"], a
U.S. Senator, in running for President of the United States, knowing he is not eligible,
have been taken entirely without authorization under the United States Constitution,
completely ignoring the qualification and procedures created by the United States
Constitution he is purporting to enforce.
7. Should Obama be elected into the Office of the Presidency based on a
fraudulent scheme by way of malfeasance and negligence on his part failing to reveal
material information and evidence proving his ineligibility as a result of his
non-citizenship or non "natural born" status his election into Office of the
President will be declared void. Plaintiff as well as other Democratic Americans will
suffer Irreparable Harm as they will have been deprived of their right to cast their vote
for an eligible Democratic Presidential Nominee who can secure the Office of the
President of the United States.
8. Moreover, Obama and his campaign brought in donations in excess of $450
Million Dollars by fraudulent means.
9. The DNC, FEC, Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth, Department of
State and the U.S. Senate, Commission on Rules and Administration have allowed
Obama's fraudulent scheme and failed to take any action to protect Plaintiff and/or
other American citizens. The DNC, FEC, Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth,
Department of State and U.S. Senate on Rules and Administration refused to investigate
Obama's eligibility to hold the Office of the Presidency and refused to comply with
the Freedom of Information Act [hereinafter "FOIA"] and turn over documents,
which were demanded to prove Obama's eligibility to hold the Office of the Presidency
to Plaintiff and the American Citizens.
10. Furthermore, the Secretary of the Commonwealth, Pennsylvania
Department of State, should have never allowed Obama on the ballot without the proper
verification that Obama was eligible to serve as the President of the United States. The
Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth, Department of State, has refused to supply
documents pertinent to satisfy Plaintiff and other voter's doubts regarding
Obama's eligibility.
11. There are unanswered questions as to where Obama was actually born, in
the United States or abroad, registering his birth in Hawaii. There are further
unanswered questions regarding Obama's United States Citizenship, if he ever held
such, being expatriated and his failure to regain his citizenship by taking the oath of
allegiance once he turned eighteen (18) years of age. There are additional unanswered
questions regarding Obama's "natural" citizenship status in Indonesia and
if in fact Obama ever took the steps necessary and filed the appropriate immigration
paperwork to become a "naturalized" citizen of the United States. Furthermore,
there are unanswered questions into Obama's multi citizenships with foreign
countries, which he still maintains. To date, Obama has refused to prove he is qualified
under the U.S. Constitution and his eligibility to run as President of the United
States.

FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS
26. Since the beginning of the U.S. Constitution, in order to run for
Office of the President, you must be a "natural born citizen" U.S.
Constitution, Article II, Section 1.
27. The DNC has pledged and promised Plaintiff and all Democratic
individuals they believe that our Constitution, our courts, our institutions and our
traditions are proper and work.
28. The DNC pledged and promised Plaintiff and all Democratic individuals
they will ensure our Constitution is not a nuisance and have assured Plaintiff and
democratic individuals the United States Constitution is the foundation of our democracy.
It makes freedom and self-governance possible and helps to protect our security. The
Democratic Party has pledged and promised Plaintiff and other Democratic individuals they
will maintain and restore our Constitution to its proper place in our government and
return our Nation to the best traditions, including their commitment to government by
law.
29. Based on the DNC's promises and assurances, Plaintiff and other
democratic individuals have donated money in good faith to the DNC and other Democratic
Presidential Nominees. Money donated to the DNC is used to plan the Party's
quadrennial presidential nominating convention; promote the election of eligible Party
candidates, pursuant to the United States Constitution, Article II, Section I, with both
technical and financial support; and works with national, state and local party
organizations, elected officials, candidates and constituencies to respond to the needs
and views of the Democratic electorate and the nation.
30. The Democratic National Party is supposed to represent Democratic
Americans in seeking Honest Leadership, Open Government, Real Security, Energy
Independence, Economic Prosperity, Educational Excellence, a Healthcare System that works
for Everyone and Retirement Security. The Democratic Party is supposed to represent and
protect the interests of working Americans and guaranteeing personal liberties for all.
This includes securing a Democratic Nominee on the Presidential Election ballot who
represents the Democratic vision and who is qualified and eligible to run for Office of
the President pursuant to the qualifications of the United States Constitution.
31. The FEC is the independent regulatory agency charged with
administering and enforcing the federal campaign finance law. The FEC has jurisdiction
over the financing of campaigns for the U.S. House, the U.S. Senate, the Presidency and
the Vice Presidency. The FEC is also responsible for the Administration, enforcement, and
formulation of policy; exclusive jurisdiction of civil enforcement; Congressional
authorities or functions with respect to elections for Federal office.
32. The PA Department of State is under the leadership of the Secretary of
the Commonwealth, Pedro A. Cort's, and the mission of the Department of
State is to promote the integrity of the electoral process.
33. Secretary of the Commonwealth, Pennsylvania Department of State,
Bureau of Commissions, Elections and Legislation oversees the Commonwealth's
electoral process as well as Campaign Finance, Voter Registration, Office of Notary
Public, Commissions and Legislation. The U.S. Senate, Commission on Rules and
Administration also carries the responsibility of investigating any corrupt practices of
our politicians. They are responsible for verifying the credentials and qualifications of
Members of the Senate, contested elections and acceptance of incompatible offices.
Moreover, in addition to the verification of a candidates qualifications, eligibility and
credentials, they are responsible for Federal elections generally, including the election
of the President, Vice President and Members of the Congress.
34. The U.S. Senate, Commission on Rules and Regulations has failed to
perform their duties in verifying and investigating Obama's citizenship status and
his eligibility.
35. In vetting the Presidential candidate, among other things, the PA
Department of State, Bureau of Commissions, Elections and Legislation, the DNC and FEC
are required to ensure the eligibility requirements pursuant to our Constitution are met
and the Presidential nominee, if elected, is qualified and eligible to serve pursuant to
our United States Constitution.
36. Obama is a representative of the Democratic People. However, Obama
must meet the Qualifications specified for the United States Office of the President,
which he must be a "natural born" citizen. Additionally, Obama must be at least
a "naturalized" citizen to hold his Office of U.S. Senator for Illinois.
Unfortunately, Obama is not a "natural born" citizen, nor is he a
"naturalized" citizen. Just to name one of the problems, Obama lost his U.S.
citizenship when his mother married an Indonesian citizen, Lolo Soetoro who legally
"acknowledged" Obama as his son in Indonesia and/or "adopted" Obama,
which caused Obama to become a "natural" Indonesian citizen. Stanley Ann Dunham
Soetoro relocated herself and Obama to Indonesia wherein Obama's mother naturalized
in Indonesia. This is proven by Obama's school record with the student's name as
"Barry Soetoro", Father's name: Lolo Soetoro, M.A., and Citizenship:
Indonesia.
37. There appears to be no question that Defendant Obama's mother,
Stanley Ann Dunham, was a U.S. citizen. It is also undisputed, however, that his father,
Barack Obama, Sr., was a citizen of Kenya. Obama's parents, according to divorce
records, were married on or about February 2, 1961.
38. Defendant Obama claims he was born in Honolulu, Hawaii on August 4,
1961 and it is uncertain in which hospital he claims to have been born. Obama's
grandmother on his father's side, his half-brother and half-sister all claim Obama
was born not in Hawaii but in Kenya. Reports reflect that Obama's mother traveled to
Kenya during her pregnancy; however, she was prevented from boarding a flight from Kenya
to Hawaii at her late stage of pregnancy (which, apparently, was a normal restriction, to
avoid births during a flight). By these reports, Stanley Ann Dunham Obama gave birth to
Obama in Kenya, after which she flew home and registered Obama's birth. There are
records of a "registry of birth" for Obama, on or about August 8, 1961 in the
public records office in Hawaii.
39. Upon investigation into the alleged birth of Obama in Honolulu,
Hawaii, Obama's birth is reported as occurring at two (2) separate hospitals,
Kapiolani Hospital and Queens Hospital. The Rainbow Edition News Letter, November 2004
Edition, published by the Education Laboratory School did a several page article of an
interview with Obama and his half-sister, Maya. The Rainbow Edition News Letter reports
Obama was born August 4, 1961 at Queens Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. More
interesting in February 2008, Obama's half-sister, Maya, was again interviewed in the
Star Bulletin, and this time, Maya states Obama was born August 4, 1961 in Kapi'olani
Medical Center for Women & Children.
40. Plaintiff is informed, believes and thereon alleges a research team
went to Mombassa, Kenya, and located a Certificate Registering the birth of Barack Obama,
Jr. to his father, a Kenyan citizen and his mother, a U.S. citizen.
41. Even if Obama was, in fact, born in Hawaii, he lost his U.S.
citizenship when his mother re-married and moved to Indonesia with her Indonesian
husband. In or about 1965, when Obama was approximately four (4) years old, his mother,
Stanley Ann Dunham, married Lolo Soetoro, a citizen of Indonesia, whom she had met at the
Hawaii University, and moved to Indonesia with Obama. Obama lost his U.S. citizenship,
when his mother married Lolo Soetoro, and took up citizenship of and residency in
Indonesia. Loss of citizenship, in these circumstances, under U.S. law (as in effect in
1965) required that foreign citizenship be achieved through "application." Such
type of naturalization occurred, for example, when a person acquired a foreign
nationality by marriage to a national of that country. Nationality
Act of 1940, Section 317(b). A minor child follows the naturalization and
citizenship status of their custodial parent. A further issue is presented that
Obama's Indonesian stepfather, Lolo Soetoro, either signed an acknowledgement
acknowledging Obama as his son or Lolo Soetoro adopted Obama, giving Obama natural
Indonesia citizenship which explains the name Barry Soetoro and his citizenship listed as
Indonesian.
42. Obama admits in his book, "Dreams from my father"
Obama's memoir (autobiography), that after his mother and Lolo Soetoro were married,
Lolo Soetoro left Hawaii rather suddenly and Obama and his mother spent months in
preparation for their move to Indonesia. Obama admits when he arrived in Indonesia he had
already been enrolled in an Indonesia school and his relatives were waiting to meet him
and his mother. Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian State citizen, could not have enrolled Obama
in school unless Lolo Soetoro signed an acknowledgement acknowledging Obama as his son,
which had to be filed with the Government. Under Indonesian law, when a male acknowledges
a child as his son, it deems the son, in this case Obama, as an Indonesian State citizen.
Constitution of Republic of Indonesia, Law No. 62 of 1958 Law No. 12 of 2006 dated 1 Aug.
2006 concerning Citizenship of Republic of Indonesia, Law No. 9 of 1992 dated 31 Mar.
1992 concerning Immigration Affairs and Indonesian Civil Code (Kitab Undang-undang Hukum
Perdata) (KUHPer) (Burgerlijk Wetboek voor Indonesie) states in pertinent part, State
citizens of Indonesia include: (viii) children who are born outside of legal marriage
from foreign State citizen mother who are acknowledged by father who is Indonesian State
citizen as his children and that acknowledgment is made prior to children reaching 18
years of age or prior to marriage; Republic of Indonesia Constitution 1945, As amended by
the First Amendment of 1999, the second Amendment of 2000, the Third Amendment of 2001
and the Fourth Amendment of 2002, Chapter X, Citizens and Residents, Article 26 states,
"(1) Citizens shall consist of indigenous Indonesian peoples and persons of foreign
origin who have been legalized [sic] as citizens in accordance with law. (2) Residents
shall consist of Indonesian citizens and foreign nationals living in Indonesia."
43. Furthermore, under the Indonesian adoption law, once adopted by an
Indonesian citizen, the adoption severs the child's relationship to the birth
parents, and the adopted child is given the same status as a natural child, Indonesian
Constitution, Article 2. Thus, where Obama was actually born and what his mother's
citizenship status at the time of this birth is irrelevant.
44. The laws in Indonesia at the time of Obama's arrival did not allow
dual citizenship. If an Indonesian citizen married a foreigner, as in this case,
Obama's mother was required to renounce her U.S. citizenship and was sponsored by her
Indonesian spouse. During this time, Indonesia was a Police State. The public schools did
not allow foreign students, only citizens were allowed to attend as Indonesia was under
strict rule and decreed a number of restrictions; therefore, in order for Obama to have
attended school in Jakarta, which he did, he had to be a citizen of Indonesia, as the
citizenship status of enrolled students was verified with Government records.
45. Obama was enrolled by his parents in a public school, Fransiskus
Assisi School, a public school, in Jakarta, Indonesia. Plaintiff has received copies of
the school registration in which it clearly states Obama's name as "Barry
Soetoro," and lists his citizenship as Indonesian. Obama's father is listed as
Lolo Soetoro, Obama's date of birth and place of birth are listed as August 4, 1961
in Hawaii, and Obama's Religion is listed as Islam. This document was verified by
Inside Edition, whose reporter, Matt Meagher, took the actual footage of the school
record. At the time Obama was registered the public schools obtained and verified the
citizenship status and name of the student through the Indonesian Government. All
Indonesian students were required to carry government identity cards, or Karty Tanda
Pendudaks, as well as family card identification called a Kartu Keluarga. The Kartu
Keluarga is a family card which bears the legal names and citizenship status of all
family members.
46. Since Obama's birth was legally acknowledged by Lolo Soetoro, an
Indonesian citizen, and/or Obama was adopted by Lolo Soetoro, which the evidence
supports, Obama became an Indonesian citizen and bears the status as an Indonesia natural
child (natural-born). For this reason, Obama would have been required to file
applications with the U. S. State Department and follow the legal procedures to become a
naturalized citizen in the United States, when he returned from Indonesia. If Obama
and/or his family failed to follow these procedures, then Obama is an illegal alien.
47. Regardless of whether Obama was officially adopted, (which required a
Court process), by his Indonesian stepfather, Lolo Soetoro, or his birth was acknowledged
(which only required the signing of a governmental birth acknowledgement form), by Lolo
Soetoro, one of which had to occur in order for Obama to have the name Barry Soetoro and
his citizenship status listed as "Indonesian", in either and/or both cases
Obama's name was required to be changed to the Indonesian father's name, and
Obama became a natural citizen of Indonesia. This is proven by the school records in
Jakarta, Indonesia showing Obama's name as Barry Soetoro and his citizenship as
Indonesian. Again, the registration of a child in the public schools in Jakarta,
Indonesia was verified with the Government Records on file with the Governmental
Agencies.
48. The Indonesian citizenship law was designed to prevent apatride
(stateless) or bipatride (dual citizenship). Indonesian regulations recognize neither
apatride nor bipatride citizenship.
49. In addition, since Indonesia did not allow dual citizenship neither
did the United States, Hague Convention of 1930.
50. In or about 1971, Obama's mother sent Obama back to Hawaii. Obama
was ten (10) years of age upon his return to Hawaii.
51. As a result of Obama's Indonesia "natural" citizenship
status, there is absolutely no way Obama could have ever regained U.S. "natural
born" status, if he in fact ever held such. Obama could have only become naturalized
if the proper paperwork was filed with the U.S. State Department, in which case, Obama
would have received a Certification of Citizenship.
52. Plaintiff is informed, believes and thereon alleges Obama was never
naturalized in the United States after his return. Obama was ten (10) years old when he
returned to Hawaii to live with his grandparents. Obama's mother did not return with
him, and therefore, unable to apply for citizenship of Obama in the United States. If
citizenship of Obama had ever been applied for, Obama would have a Certification of
Citizenship.
53. Furthermore, Obama traveled to Indonesia, Pakistan and Southern India
in 1981. The relations between Pakistan and India were extremely tense and Pakistan was
in turmoil and under martial law. The country was filled with Afghan refugees; and
Pakistan's Islamist-leaning Interservices Intelligence Agency (ISI) had begun to
provide arms to the Afghan mujahideen and to assist the process of recruiting radicalized
Muslim men--jihadists--from around the world to fight against the Soviet Union. Pakistan
was so dangerous that it was on the State Department's travel ban list for US
Citizens. Non-Muslim visitors were not welcome unless sponsored by their embassy for
official business. A Muslim citizen of Indonesia traveling on an Indonesian passport
would have success entering Indonesia, Pakistan and India. Therefore, it is believed
Obama traveled on his Indonesian passport entering the Countries. Indonesian passports
require renewal every five (5) years. At the time of Obama's travels to Indonesia,
Pakistan and India, Obama was twenty (20) years old. If Obama would have been a U.S.
citizen, which he was not, 8 USC §1481(a)(2) provides loss of nationality by
native born citizens upon "taking an oath or making an affirmation or other formal
declaration of allegiance to a foreign state...after having attained the age of eighteen
years", in violation of 8 U.S.C. §1401(a)(1). Since Lolo Soetoro legally
acknowledged Obama as his son and/or adopted Obama, Obama was a "natural"
citizen of Indonesia, as proven by Obama's school record.
54. Plaintiff is informed, believes and thereon alleges Obama stated his
citizenship as a "Kenya Citizen" when he applied for and was accepted at
Columbia University. Obama has refused to release any records from Occidental College,
Columbia University, Harvard Law School and any of his medical records.
55. Plaintiffs as well as many other democratic American citizens have
requested proof of Obama's citizenship status, however to no avail. Obama has
promised to be an open and honest candidate, however, refuses to remove any doubts from
Plaintiff's and all the other democratic minds and prove his eligibility to serve as
President of the United States.
56. Plaintiff's civil rights under the due process rights and equal
protection of the laws secured by the U.S. Constitution, Fourteenth (14 ) Amendment th
have been violated by Obama's illegal campaign and will continue to be violated if
Obama is allowed to continue his campaign and if elected, assume the position of
President of the United States. The DNC and FEC have allowed Obama to continue his
campaigning, knowing these issues have arisen and have failed to take and/or instigate
the proper investigation into said matters to protect Plaintiff and other registered
voters. Therefore, the only option Plaintiff had to secure and protect his civil rights
was to bring action before this Honorable Court. Moreover, our laws which protect
Plaintiff, a legal registered voter, and other registered voters from fraudulent campaign
schemes have been violated by the Defendants, 2 U.S.C. §437c, 2 U.S.C
§437(g). Plaintiff has standing to bring suit pursuant to 5 U.S. C
§702, as well as 8 U.S. C §1481(b).
57. Plaintiff's rights guaranteed under the Liberty clause of the
Fourteenth (14th) Amendment of the United States Constitution have already been violated.
It has been announced in the main stream media that Obama's "briefing" has
already begun into our National Secrets, our Nations Top Secrets, which Obama is not
privy too and in violation of our National Security, as Obama is not a legal citizen of
the United States. This has placed Plaintiff and other citizens of the United States in
grave danger. Plaintiff's Liberty as guaranteed will further be violated if Obama is
allowed to be voted into and assume the position of President of the United States;
Plaintiff will be further damaged and is in serious jeopardy.
58. Plaintiff filed the within action on or about August 21, 2008 against
Defendants seeking Declaratory and Injunctive Relief, declaring Obama an illegal alien
and/or only a "naturalized" citizen ineligible to serve as President of the
United States and enjoining the PA Department of State, Bureau of Commissions, Elections
and Legislation, the DNC and FEC from placing Obama's name on the ballot and
prohibiting Obama from further campaigning to be elected as President of the United
States, a position he is ineligible to hold.
59. Plaintiff faxed a copy of the original complaint to Obama, the DNC and
FEC on August 22, 2008 prior to the hearing on the TRO before this Honorable Court.
Defendants were further served by personal service on September 4, 2008. Neither the DNC
nor Obama have supplied any type of proof of Obama's citizenship status and/or
eligibility to serve as President of the United States.
60. Plaintiff has asked for a simple resolution. Plaintiff has asked that
Obama supply a genuine certified copy of his original long version "vault"
Birth Certificate, A Certification of Citizenship and a certified copy of his Oath of
Allegiance. If in fact Obama can prove his "natural born" citizenship status,
which he cannot, then he has not been prejudiced in anyway, but instead Plaintiff has
been protected and his civil rights secured. However, if Obama is unable to supply said
documentation, then he needs to withdraw his candidacy, again which will eliminate
Plaintiff's deprivations and instill Plaintiff's constitutionally protected
safeguards and rights.
61. There is absolutely no other way for Plaintiff to ensure his
constitutionally protected rights. The only option Plaintiff had was to bring this
action. This is the first time in American History a "naturalized" citizen
and/or illegal alien have been allowed to campaign for the Office of President of the
United States. There are not any other ways to establish or determine the legal status of
our Presidential Candidates, whether Republican and/or Democratic. The FEC and DNC have
refused to verify and furnish Plaintiff with Obama's eligibility or lack thereof.
Plaintiff has standing to challenge any person(s) citizenship and/or nationality status
pursuant to statute, 8 U.S. C. §1481(b).
62. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) does not perform background
checks and/or verify their eligibility on our Candidates to hold Office. According to the
FBI, once a candidate is voted into Office of Congress, they are members of Congress and
therefore they are given a Secret Clearance, again, without any type of background check
and/or verification processes performed.
63. Plaintiff, as well as other Democratic voters have and are suffering
the total loss of confidence in the DNC primary process because of the massive cheating
and skewering of rules to make an illegitimate ineligible candidate the nominee in
violation of DNC rules and the U.S. Constitution, robbing voters of their voices and
votes. Plaintiff and millions of other Democratic voters have lost all trust in the
integrity of the PA Department of State, Bureau of Commissions, Elections and
Legislation, the FEC and Democratic Party leaders by the total failure of the DNC to
perform the most basic of functions by insisting any candidates produce basic documents
in vetting their eligibility, especially after there were repeated requests demanding
Obama's eligibility be proven with certified legitimate documents which had not been
forged. This failure to perform even the most basic of due diligence has shattered
Plaintiff's faith, along with millions of Democratic voters, in the Democratic
system.
64. Plaintiff has been damaged financially for all monies donated,
billable hours spent supporting the Democratic candidates, taxes paid by Plaintiff which
went to the Secret Service for their protection of Obama for the past twenty (20) months
and for the financial costs and time expended of this litigation, when Defendants could
have very easily investigated, verified and obtained proof of Obama's eligibility to
serve as President of the United States, if in fact he is eligible.
65. Plaintiff has suffered damage to his reputation and discrimination as
a result of attempting to protect his rights and verify the eligibility of Obama to serve
as President of the United States. Plaintiff has been repeatedly called a racist and
verbally assaulted for bringing forward this lawsuit against Obama. Plaintiff is not a
racist and is a paid Life Member of the NAACP. Obama himself stated to a crowd of his
supporters, "I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your
neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are
Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face", as quoted in a
newspaper article published in the San Francisco Gate, by Kathleen Hennessey, Associated
Press Writer, on September 17, 2008. Obama is promoting attacks on non-supporters, which
is creating racial tension and violence in our communities, of which Plaintiff has been
victim too.
66. Plaintiff has attempted to obtain the verification and proof requested
herein by way of requests, filing this action, Admissions and Request for Production of
Documents served upon Defendants September 15, 2008 and by Subpoenas served upon agencies
who could supply the documentation to prove Obama's citizenship status. To date,
Plaintiff has not received anything. Plaintiff has received five (5) letters from
agencies that were served with subpoenas claiming they need Obama's signatures to
comply and/or the confidentiality of the documents were protected from disclosure to
third parties under 5 U.S. C. § 552. The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5
U.S.C. § 552(a) allows for the disclosure of documents. If the documents
contain confidential information, the Agency is required to redact the confidential part,
e.g. social security number.
67. Further damages to Plaintiff, if Obama is voted into the Office of the
President and allowed to assume said position, in violation of Article II, Section of our
Constitution as he is not a "natural born" citizen, it would be
Unconstitutional. Plaintiff would suffer further damages as any act or action that Obama
executes is Unconstitutional. This would create massive litigation and a complete
disarray of our government and a Constitutional crisis.
68. Furthermore, the DNC has made specific promises to uphold our
Constitution and to protect the Democratic people; however, they have failed, which
constitute damages under "Promissory Estoppel".
69. Plaintiff does not have any other means of redress. The issues
presented are critical in order to protect the rights of Plaintiff. Furthermore, there
are not any specific administrative remedies outlined in our laws pertaining to the
challenge of a Presidential candidate who in fact is not a qualified citizen to serve as
our President of the United States pursuant to our United States Constitution.
70. If Obama is allowed to continue his campaign and is elected as our
President of the United States it will be unconstitutional to allow him to serve.
Further, if the issues of Obama's citizenship status are ignored and he is allowed to
assume the position of President of the United States, anything Obama enters into and/or
signs while in Office will be void, as Obama is not constitutionally eligible to hold the
Office of United States President.
71. Due to the urgency of these issues, Plaintiff is requesting waiver of
the Government Claim requirement.
72. Plaintiff is requesting through this lawsuit an Order for Obama, the
DNC, the FEC, the U.S. Senate, Commission on Rules and Administration and the
Pennsylvania Department of State, Bureau of Commissions, Elections and Legislation to
immediately turn over to Plaintiff the following ocuments:
- (a) A certified copy of Obama's "vault" (original long version) birth
certificate;
- (b) All reissued and sealed birth certificates of Obama;
- (c) A certified copy of Obama's Certification of Citizenship;
- (d) A certified copy of Obama's Oath of Allegiance taken upon age of majority;
and
- (e) Certified copies of Obama's Admission forms for Occidental College,
Columbia University and Harvard Law School.
COUNT ONE (Against All Defendants)
Violation of the United States Constitution, Article II, Section I
73. Plaintiff hereby incorporates Paragraphs 1 through 72 as if fully set
forth herein.
74. The United States Constitution, Article II, Section I, Clause 4,
Qualifications, Office of President, states: "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."
75. Obama does not and has not been eligible to be constituted a United
States "natural born" citizen and has failed to obtain and/or maintain
"naturalized" citizenship status.
76. Obama, if born in Kenya would have made him a citizen of Kenya.
Furthermore, because of the 1940 Naturalization Act, June 1952, Obama's mother would
have had to be nineteen (19) in order for Obama to be a "natural born" United
States citizen. Obama's mother was only eighteen (18) when she had Obama and
therefore was not old enough to meet the residency requirements under our laws at the
time of Obama's birth and be able to register her son's birth as a "natural
born" citizen.
77. Even if Obama would have been able to be registered as a U.S.
"natural born" citizen in Hawaii, which was not legally permissible, he lost
his citizenship in the United States when his mother married Lolo Soetoro, a citizen of
Indonesia, and became a naturalized citizen in Indonesia and set up residency in
Indonesia with her new husband. Minor's follow their custodial parent's
citizenship status.
78. Moreover, Obama's Indonesian step father, Lolo Soetoro, signed a
Government acknowledgement form acknowledging Obama as his son and/or legally adopted
Obama, either of which changed Obama's citizenship status to a "natural"
citizen of Indonesia. Thus, Obama could have only obtained Naturalized citizenship status
in the United States, if in fact he and/or his family filed the proper immigration
paperwork after his return to the United States from Indonesia.
79. Obama's Indonesian citizenship status is proven on his school
record with a public school in Jakarta Indonesia, which he attended. Obama's school
record clearly states his name Barry Soetoro, his citizenship, Indonesian, his religion
Islam. This information was verified by the public schools in Jakarta upon registration
of the student with the Indonesian Government. Indonesia did not allow foreign students
to attend their schools and Indonesia Immigration Officials and the Police frequently
visited the schools to ensure the students attending were all Indonesian citizens
pursuant to the laws.
80. Students attending the public school system in Jakarta Indonesia at
the time Obama attended had to wear and/or carry with them identification cards, again
which were verified with the Governments records in Indonesia. The student's
identification cards displayed their citizenship number, their legal name, their parents
names, etc. The identification cards had to match the student's school enrollment
information.
81. Plaintiff is informed, believes and thereon alleges Obama stated his
citizenship as Kenyan on his College Admission forms to Occidental College, Columbia
University and Harvard Law School.
82. The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is supposed to represent and
protect the interests of working Americans, which includes securing a Democratic Nominee
on the Presidential Election ballot who represents the Democratic vision and who is
qualified and eligible to run for Office of the President pursuant to the qualifications
of the United States Constitution. The DNC has also promised all democratic citizens,
including Plaintiff that they will in fact uphold the Constitution and require those in
office to do the same. The DNC has failed to inquire into Obama's eligibility
status.
83. The FEC has the responsibility to ensure the Presidential candidate is
in fact eligible to serve as President of the United States and is responsible for the
administration, enforcement and formulation of policy, exclusive jurisdiction of civil
enforcement, congressional authorities or functions with respect to elections for Federal
Office, 2 U.S.C. § 437c (b).
84. The FEC is also responsible for ensuring the compliance with the
Federal Election Campaign Fund Act, which includes eligible candidates, candidates of a
political party for President and/or Vice President of the United States who have met all
applicable conditions for eligibility for the position being sought in order to receive
payments. 26 U.S.C. § 9002, et seq.
85. The U.S. Senate, Commission on Rules and Administration and Feinstein
also carry the responsibility to ensure the Presidential candidate is in fact a U.S.
"natural born" citizen and eligible to serve the position they so seek. U.S.
Senate, Commission on Rules and Administration and Feinstein has the responsibility to
ensure corrupt practices are not taking place or corrupt actions of any member of the
Senate. The U.S. Senate Commission on Rules and Administration and Feinstein have the
responsibility of verifying the credentials, qualifications and eligibility status of all
Members of the Senate, contested elections, Federal elections generally, including the
election of the President, Vice President and Members of the Congress, Standing Rules of
the Senate, Rule 25.
86. The DNC, FEC, Feinstein and the U.S. Senate Commission on Rules and
Administration have failed Plaintiff as they have not performed their duties so delegated
to them pursuant to the Laws of our Country and their promises. Defendants have allowed
an ineligible candidate to be nominated as United States President without performing due
diligence in verifying Obama's eligibility and/or investigating the fraudulent acts
of Obama, for which Plaintiff has been damaged. Defendants have further allowed the
illegal and fraudulent campaigning efforts of Obama to continue in an attempt to allow an
ineligible candidate to serve as United States President in violation of our United
States Constitution.
87. The PA Department of State and Pedro A. Cort's, Secretary
of the Commonwealth, PA Department of State, Bureau of Commissions, Elections and
Legislation has the responsibility of placing eligible candidates on the official ballot
for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Department of State, Bureau of Commissions,
Elections and Legislation has failed to verify Obama's citizenship status prior to
placing his name on the ballot in Pennsylvania.
88. The DNC, FEC, Feinstein, U.S. Senate, Commission on Rules and
Administration and the PA Department of State and Pedro A. Cort's, PA
Secretary of the Commonwealth, PA Department of State, Bureau of Commissions, Elections
and Legislation have allowed Obama's illegal and fraudulent campaign, which Obama has
received in excess of $450 Million in donations, to continue knowing Obama is not a
"natural born" citizen and knowing Obama is not eligible to take and/or serve
the position of President of the United States, for which he was receiving donations.
89. Plaintiff has been severely damaged as a result of Defendants actions.
Plaintiff has been deprived liberty, property, due process of law and equal protections
of the laws all guaranteed under the United States Constitution.
90. For the above aforementioned reasons, Defendants need to immediately
supply a certified copy of Obama's "vault" (original long version) birth
certificate; certified copies of all reissued and sealed birth certificates for Obama; a
certified copy of Obama's Certification of Citizenship; a Certified copy of
Obama's Oath of Allegiance taken upon the age of Majority; and certified copies of
Obama's Admission forms for Occidental College, Columbia University and Harvard law
School. If Defendants are unable to supply said documents, Obama needs to immediately
step down and withdraw his candidacy for United States President.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, Philip J. Berg, Esquire, respectfully prays that
this Court:
- A. Order Defendants to immediately turn over the following documents:
-
- 1. A certified copy of Obama's "vault" (original long version)
birth certificate;

COUNT TWO (Against All Defendant)
Civil Rights, Civil Action for Deprivation of Rights In violation of 42 U.S.C.
§1983
91. Plaintiff hereby incorporates Paragraphs 1 through 90 as if fully set
forth herein.
92. Defendants, acting under the color of law and in concert with one
another, engaged in intentional due process and equal protection of the law violations.
In so doing, Defendants have caused the Plaintiff to suffer deprivation of his
fundamental rights to
Case 2:08-cv-04083-RBS Document 14-2
Filed 10/06/2008 Page 29 of 70
Z:\Forms\Obama, First Amended Complaint 100608
Page 30
due process and equal protection of the laws secured by the United States
Constitution under the Fourteenth Amendment and the Laws of the United States.
93. Plaintiff has been deprived of money and billable hours by fraudulent
means as a result of donating money and billable hours to secure, as promised, an
eligible Democratic candidate for Office of the Presidency, in which to cast his vote.
The DNC named Obama as the Democratic Nominee, who is ineligible to serve as the United
States President as he is not a "natural born" citizen, a qualification and
eligibility requirement pursuant to Article II, Section I of the United States
Constitution. Moreover, Plaintiff has been deprived of his right to vote for an eligible
Democratic Nominee for the U.S. Office of the President.
94. On September 2, 2008, an avid Obama supporter, Fatimah Ali, an Opinion
writer for The Philadelphia Daily News reported Ms. Ali's opinion, "If McCain
wins, look for a full-fledged race and class war, fueled by a deflated and depressed
country, soaring crime, homelessness - hopelessness!"
95. Fox News followed this story publishing, "A fanatical Obama
supporter in Philadelphia is threatening a race war if John McCain wins"
96. Obama stated to a crowd of his supporters, "I need you to go out
and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether
they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and
get in their face…You are my Ambassadors", as quoted in a
newspaper article published in the San Francisco Gate, by Kathleen Hennessey, Associated
Press Writer, on September 17, 2008. Obama is furthering racial tension and promoting

Z:\Forms\Obama, First Amended Complaint 100608
page 31
attacks on non-supporters, which is creating racial tension and violence
in our communities, of which Plaintiff has been victim too.
97. Obama and his campaign have abused their position and the law for
intimidation purposes to stop people from free speech when the speech includes criticism
or questioning of Obama in violation of Plaintiff's and other American's civil
Rights.
98. Missouri Governor Matt Blunt issued a Press Release stating in
pertinent part, "What Senator Obama and his helpers are doing is scandalous beyond
words…… abusing the justice system and offices of
public trust to silence political criticism with threats of prosecution and criminal
punishment. This abuse of the law for intimidation insults the most sacred principles and
ideals of Jefferson. I can think of nothing more offensive to Jefferson's thinking
than using the power of the state to deprive Americans of their civil rights. The only
conceivable purpose of Messrs. McCulloch, Obama and the others is to frighten people away
from expressing themselves, to chill free and open debate, to suppress support and
donations to conservative organizations targeted by this anti-civil rights, to strangle
criticism of Mr. Obama, to suppress ads about his support of higher taxes, and to choke
out criticism on television, radio, the Internet, blogs, e-mail and daily conversation
about the election. "Barack Obama needs to grow
up……Enlisting Missouri law enforcement to
intimidate people and kill free debate is reminiscent of the Sedition Acts - not a free
society."
99. As a result of Obama's message to the People of America, Plaintiff
has suffered damage to his reputation and discrimination and fears for his safety as a
result of attempting to protect his rights and verify the eligibility of Obama to serve
as

President of the United States. Plaintiff has been repeatedly called a
racist and verbally assaulted for bringing forward this lawsuit against Obama. Plaintiff
is not a racist and is a paid Life Member of the NAACP. Plaintiff has received numerous
nasty emails accusing him of being a racist as a result of filing this action against
Obama. Moreover, Plaintiff has been verbally assaulted by black individuals at a local
store he frequents as well as in public for bringing suit against Obamaquestioning his
citizenship status. All of which is in violation of Plaintiff's right's todue
process of the law, equal protection of the laws and the Liberty Clause secured bythe
Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
100. Defendants are attempting to change our United States Constitution
without proper due process of law by allowing Obama to continue his campaign and continue
seeking election as the President of the United States, knowing he is not a "natural
born" citizen and the fact he may not even be a "naturalized" citizen.
101. It has been announced in the main stream media that Obama's
"briefing" has already begun into our National Secrets, our Nations Top
Secrets, which Obama is not privy too and in violation of our National Security, as Obama
is not a legal citizen of the United States. This has placed Plaintiff and other citizens
of the United States in grave danger. Plaintiff's Life, Liberty and Property rights
guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution will further be violated
if Obama is allowed to be voted into and assume the position of President of the United
States; Plaintiff will be further damaged and is in serious jeopardy.
102. Obama was born in Mombasa, Kenya, and his mother was not old enough
to pass on U.S. "natural born" citizenship status to Obama, United States of
America v.

(2d Cir.1998).
103. Additionally, Obama lost any "naturalized" citizenship
status when he b e c a m e a "natural" citizen of Indonesia. Obama's mother
married Lolo Soetoro an Indonesian Citizen in or about 1964/1965. Lolo Soetoro
acknowledged Obama as his son and/or adopted Obama thus changing his citizenship status
to a "natural" citizen of Indonesia. Under Indonesian law, when a male
acknowledges a child as his son, it deems the son, in this case Obama, as an Indonesian
State citizen. Constitution of Republic of Indonesia, Law No. 62 of 1958 Law No. 12 of
2006 dated 1 Aug. 2006 concerning Citizenship of Republic of Indonesia, Law No. 9 of 1992

- (1) Citizens shall consist of indigenous Indonesian peoples and persons of foreign
origin who have been legalized as citizens in accordance with law.
- (2) Residents shall consist of Indonesian citizens and foreign nationals living in
Indonesia
- .
Obama was a "natural" citizen of Indonesia and not a foreign
national, as proven by his Indonesian school registration.
104. The DNC, FEC, Feinstein and the U.S. Senate Commission on Rules and
Administration have failed Plaintiff as they have not performed their duties so delegated
to them pursuant to the Laws of our Country and their promises.

eligibility and/or investigating the fraudulent acts of Obama, for which Plaintiff has
been damaged. Defendants have further allowed the illegal and fraudulent campaigning
efforts of Obama to continue in an attempt to allow an ineligible candidate to serve as
President of the United States in violation of our United States Constitution.
105. The PA Department of State and Pedro A. Cort's,
Secretary of the Commonwealth, PA Department of State, Bureau of Commissions, Elections
and Legislation has the responsibility of placing eligible candidates on the official
ballot for the State of Pennsylvania. The PA Department of State, Bureau of Commissions,
Elections and Legislation has failed to verify Obama's citizenship status prior to
placing his name on the ballot in Pennsylvania.
106. The DNC, FEC, Feinstein, U.S. Senate, Commission on Rules and
Administration, the PA Department of State and Pedro A. Cort's, Secretary of
the Commonwealth, PA Department of State, Bureau of Commissions, Elections and
Legislation have allowed Obama's illegal and fraudulent campaign, which Obama has

donations.
107. Plaintiff has been severely damaged as a result of Defendants
actions. Plaintiff has been deprived liberty, property, due process of law and equal

COUNT THREE (Against All Defendants)
Civil Rights, Conspiracy to Interfere with Civil rights In violation of 42 U.S.C.
§ 1985
109. Plaintiff hereby incorporates Paragraphs 1 through 108 as if fully
set forth herein. 110. Defendants, acting under the color of law and in concert with one
another, engaged in intentional due process and equal protection of the law violations.
In so doing, Defendants have caused the Plaintiff to suffer deprivation of his
fundamental rights to due process and equal protection of the laws secured by the United
States Constitution under the Fourteenth Amendment and the Laws of the United States.
111. Defendants and each of them conspired with each other to deprive
Plaintiff of his right to due process, right to equal protection of the laws, and

112. Obama knowing he is not a "natural born" United States
Citizen and knowing he is a citizen of Indonesia fraudulently sought and accomplished
having his name placed on the ballot for the Democratic Nominee for President of the
United States, which he accomplished.
113. Obama encouraged his supporters to act as his Ambassadors; to knock
on doors, get mad and get in peoples faces in efforts to seek their votes for Obama,
which has created violence and racial tension. Unfortunately, Obama's supporters have
complied with Obama's request.

114. Obama has further fraudulently campaigned to be elected as President

Rights.
116. The DNC, FEC, Feinstein and the U.S. Senate Commission on Rules and
Administration have failed Plaintiff as they have not performed their duties so delegated

Civil Rights, Action for Neglect to Prevent In violation of 42 U.S.C. §
1986
123. Plaintiff hereby incorporates Paragraphs 1 through 122 as if fully
set forth herein.
124. Defendants, acting under the color of law and in concert with one
another, engaged in intentional due process and equal protection of the law violations.
In so doing, Defendants have caused the Plaintiff to suffer deprivation of his
fundamental rights to due process and equal protection of the laws secured by the United
States Constitution under the Fourteenth Amendment and the Laws of the United States.
125. The DNC, FEC, Feinstein and the U.S. Senate Commission on Rules and
Administration were and are well aware of Obama's illegal activities, encouraging

racial tension, encouraging violence, his fraudulent campaigning,
fraudulently attempting to secure the position of President of the United States.
Defendants have failed Plaintiff as they have not performed their duties so delegated to
them pursuant to the Laws of our Country and their promises. Defendants have allowed an
ineligible candidate to be nominated as President of the United States without performing
due diligence in verifying Obama's eligibility and/or investigating the fraudulent
acts of Obama, for which Plaintiff has been damaged. Defendants have further allowed the
illegal and fraudulent campaigning efforts of Obama to continue in an attempt to allow an
ineligible candidate to serve as President of the United States in violation of our
United States Constitution.
126. The PA Department of State and Pedro A. Cort's,
Secretary of the Commonwealth, PA Department of State, Bureau of Commissions, Elections
and Legislation has the responsibility of placing eligible candidates on the official
ballot for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The PA Department of State, Bureau of
Commissions, Elections and Legislation has failed to verify Obama's citizenship
status prior to placing his name on the ballot in Pennsylvania.
127. The DNC, FEC, Feinstein, U.S. Senate, Commission on Rules and
Administration, the PA Department of State and Pedro A. Cort's, Secretary of
the Commonwealth, PA Department of State, Bureau of Commissions, Elections and
Legislation have allowed Obama's illegal and fraudulent campaign, which Obama has
received in excess of $450 Million in donations, to continue knowing Obama is not a
"natural born" citizen and knowing Obama is not eligible to take and/or serve
the position of President of the United States, for which he was receiving donations.

128. As a result, Plaintiff has been deprived of money and billable hours
by fraudulent means as a result of donating money and billable hours to secure, as
promised, an eligible Democratic candidate for Office of the Presidency, in which to cast
his vote. The DNC named Obama as the Democratic Nominee, who is ineligible to serve as
the President of the United States as he is not a "natural born" citizen, a
qualification and eligibility requirement pursuant to Article II, Section I of the United
States Constitution. Moreover, Plaintiff has been deprived of his right to vote for an
eligible Democratic Nominee for the U.S. Office of the Presidency. 129. Plaintiff has
been severely damaged as a result of Defendants actions. Plaintiff has been deprived of
liberty, property, due process of law and equal protections of the laws all guaranteed
under the United States Constitution.
130. As a result of Obama's message to the People of America,
Plaintiff has suffered damage to his reputation and discrimination and fears for his
safety as a result of attempting to protect his rights and verify the eligibility of
Obama to serve as President of the United States. Plaintiff has been repeatedly called a
racist and verbally assaulted for bringing forward this lawsuit against Obama. Plaintiff
is not a racist and is a paid Life Member of the NAACP. Plaintiff has received numerous
nasty emails accusing him of being a racist as a result of filing this action against
Obama. Moreover, Plaintiff was verbally assaulted by a black female in public for
bringing suit against Obama questioning his citizenship status. All of which is in
violation of Plaintiff's right's to due process of the law, equal protection of

Election Campaign Act 2 U.S.C. § 437, et seq. and 26 U.S.C. §
9002, et seq.
132. Plaintiff hereby incorporates Paragraphs 1 through 131 as if fully
set forth herein.
133. Obama committed Fraud upon Plaintiff and the American Citizens by
running for President claiming to be eligible, knowing he was not eligible, knowing he
was born in Mombasa, Kenya and his mother not being old enough to pass U.S. "natural
born" citizenship status to him. Obama is well aware his citizenship status changed
from a U.S. Naturalized citizen, if he ever held such, to a "natural" citizen
of Indonesia when his step father, Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian citizen, legally
acknowledged Obama as his son and/or adopted Obama.
134. Obama further committed Fraud upon Plaintiff and the American people
by falsifying information on his Illinois State Bar Registration and Public Disciplinary
Record. Obama stated on his Application to the State Bar of Illinois, as proven by the
Illinois State Bar Registration and Disciplinary Record, stating he never used any other
names. Obama signed his application/registration for the Illinois State Bar under the
penalty of perjury knowing the information to be false. The fact of the matter is Obama
used the name Barry Soetoro in Indonesia and was registered as a citizen of Indonesia on
his school records. Obama further used the name Barry Obama and it is further believed
Obama used the name Barack and/or Barry Dunham.

135. Obama attempted to defraud Plaintiff and the American people by
allowing an altered and forged Hawaii Certification of Live Birth (COLB) to be placed on
his campaign website. Obama was well aware the Government issued COLB was altered and
forged as the original document was in the name of Maya Kasandra Soetoro born in 1970.
Maya Kassandra Soetoro's Obama's half sister who was born in Indonesia and her
birth was later registered in Hawaii. The altered and forged COLB is still on O b a m a

136. Furthermore, Obama traveled to Indonesia, Pakistan and Southern India
in 1981. The relations between Pakistan and India were extremely tense and Pakistan was
in turmoil and under martial law. The country was filled with Afghan refugees; and
Pakistan's Islamist-leaning Interservices Intelligence Agency (ISI) had begun to
provide arms to the Afghan mujahideen and to assist the process of recruiting radicalized
Muslim men--jihadists--from around the world to fight against the Soviet Union. Pakistan
was so dangerous that it was on the State Department's travel ban list for US
Citizens. Non-Muslim visitors were not welcome unless sponsored by their embassy for
official business. A Muslim citizen of Indonesia traveling on an Indonesian passport
would have success entering Indonesia, Pakistan and India. Therefore, it is believed
Obama traveled on his Indonesian passport entering the Countries. Indonesian passports
require renewal every five (5) years. At the time of Obama's travels to Indonesia,
Pakistan and India, Obama was twenty (20) years old. If Obama would have been a U.S.
citizen, which he was not, 8 USC §1481(a)(2) provides loss of nationality by
native born citizens upon "taking an oath or making an

affirmation or other formal declaration of allegiance to a foreign
state...after having attained the age of eighteen years", in violation of 8 U.S.C.
§1401(a)(1). More importantly, in order to obtain an Indonesian Passport, you
had to be an Indonesian citizen. Since Lolo Soetoro legally acknowledged Obama as his son
and/or adopted Obama, Obama was a "natural" citizen of Indonesia, as proven by
Obama's school record.
137. Moreover, as stated above, Obama was registered in School in Jakarta,
Indonesia as Barry Soetoro, a citizen of Indonesia, born in 1961 in Hawaii and his
religion was registered as Islam.
138. Obama fraudulently began campaigning to secure the United States
Office of the Presidency and fraudulently accepted in excess of $450 Million dollars
knowing he could never serve as President of the United States.
139. The DNC, FEC, Feinstein and the U.S. Senate Commission on Rules and
Administration were and are well aware of Obama's illegal activities, encouraging
racial tension, encouraging violence, his fraudulent campaigning, fraudulently attempting
to secure the position of President of the United States. Defendants have failed
Plaintiff as they have not performed their duties so delegated to them pursuant to the
Laws of our Country and their promises. Defendants have allowed an ineligible candidate
to be nominated as President of the United States without performing due diligence in
verifying Obama's eligibility and/or investigating the fraudulent acts of Obama, for
which Plaintiff has been damaged. Defendants have further allowed the illegal and
fraudulent campaigning efforts of Obama to continue

in an attempt to allow an ineligible candidate to serve as President of
the United States in violation of our United States Constitution.
140. The PA Department of State and Pedro A. Cort's,
Secretary of the Commonwealth, PA Department of State, Bureau of Commissions, Elections
and Legislation has the responsibility of placing eligible candidates on the official
ballot for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The PA Department of State, Bureau of
Commissions, Elections and Legislation has failed to verify Obama's citizenship
status prior to placing his name on the ballot in Pennsylvania.
141. The DNC, FEC, Feinstein, U.S. Senate, Commission on Rules and
Administration, the PA Department of State and Pedro A. Cort's, Secretary of
the Commonwealth, PA Department of State, Bureau of Commissions, Elections and
Legislation have allowed Obama's illegal and fraudulent campaign, which Obama has
received in excess of $450 Million in donations, to continue knowing Obama is not a
"natural born" citizen and knowing Obama is not eligible to take and/or serve
the position of President of the United States, for which he was receiving donations.
142. As a result, Plaintiff has been deprived of money and billable hours
by fraudulent means as a result of donating money and billable hours to secure, as
promised, an eligible Democratic candidate for Office of the Presidency, in which to cast
his vote. The DNC named Obama as the Democratic Nominee, who is ineligible to serve as
President of the United States as he is not a "natural born" citizen, a
qualification and eligibility requirement pursuant to Article II, Section I of the United
States Constitution. Moreover, Plaintiff has been deprived of his right to vote for an
eligible Democratic Nominee for the U.S. Office of the Presidency.

143. Plaintiff has been severely damaged as a result of Defendants
actions. Plaintiff has been deprived of liberty, property, due process of law and equal

supply a certified copy of Obama's "vault" (original long version) birth
certificate; certified copies of all reissued and sealed birth certificates for Obama; a
certified copy of Obama's Certification of Citizenship; a Certified copy of

156. In order to be eligible and qualified to run for the Office of the
President of the United States you must be a "natural born" citizen. United
States Constitution, Article II, Section I.
157. The DNC published on their website at http://www.democrats.org their
2008 Democratic National Platform "Renewing America's Promise". The
DNC's platform of promise contain many promises to the American people.
158. The DNC promises on page iii Section IV, Renewing American Democracy
further promising "Open, Accountable and Ethical government; Reclaiming our

Constitution and our Liberties; and Voting Rights." The DNC has
failed to uphold and follow through with their promises.
159. The DNC promises in their promotion of Obama, Page 53, "In
Barack Obama's Administration, we will open up the doors of democracy. We will use
technology to make government more transparent, accountable, and inclusive. Rather than
obstruct people's use of the Freedom of Information Act, we will require that
agencies conduct significant business in public and release all relevant information
unless an agency reasonably foresees harm to a protected interest."
160. The DNC has pledged and promised Plaintiff and all Democratic
individuals they believe that our Constitution, our courts, our institutions and our
traditions are proper and work.
161. The DNC pledged and promised Plaintiff and all Democratic individuals
they will ensure our Constitution is not a nuisance and have assured Plaintiff and
democratic individuals the United States Constitution is the foundation of our democracy.
It makes freedom and self-governance possible, and helps to protect our security. The
Democratic Party has pledged and promised Plaintiff and other Democratic individuals they
will maintain and restore our Constitution to its proper place in our government and
return our Nation to the best traditions, including their commitment to government by
law.
162. Unfortunately, the DNC has not upheld our Constitution and/or our
Laws. The DNC is promoting an illegal candidate who is ineligible to serve as the
President of the United States. The DNC has failed to investigate into Obama's
citizenship. Obama is not a "natural born" U.S. citizen, he is still an
Indonesian citizen and ineligible to

Page 59
serve as President of the United States, United States Constitution,
Article II, Section I.
163. The DNC has promised on page 56 "Voting rights are fundamental
rights because they are protective of all other rights. We will work to fully protect and
enforce the fundamental Constitutional right of every American vote—to
ensure that the Constitution's promise is fully realized." "Finally, we
will enact legislation that establishes harsh penalties for those who engage in voter
intimidation and creates a process for providing accurate information to misinformed
voters so they can cast their votes in time."
164. The DNC has promised on page 56 "Voting rights are fundamental
rights because they are protective of all other rights. We will work to fully protect and
enforce the fundamental Constitutional right of every American vote—to
ensure that the Constitution's promise is fully realized." "Finally, we
will enact legislation that establishes harsh penalties for those who engage in voter
intimidation and creates a process for providing accurate information to misinformed
voters so they can cast their votes in time."
165. The DNC has not protected Plaintiff or other Democratic voter's
rights, they have failed to provide accurate information, they have not investigated
Obama's eligibility and/or citizenship status and they have allowed Obama's
tactics in promoting racial tension and threatening to have people arrested and
prosecuted if they talk negatively or debate against Obama.
166. Based on the DNC's promises and assurances, Plaintiff and other
democratic individuals have donated money in good faith to the DNC and other
Democratic

Page 60
Presidential Nominees. Money donated to the DNC is used to plan the
Party's quadrennial presidential nominating convention; promote the election of
eligible Party candidates, pursuant to the United States Constitution, Article II,
Section I, with both technical and financial support; and works with national, state and
local party organizations, elected officials, candidates and constituencies to respond to
the needs and views of the Democratic electorate and the nation.
167. Obama has promised to uphold the United States Constitution and to be
open and honest with all questions presented. However, Obama has not been open and
honest; he has refused to provide proof of his citizenship status and has refused to
answer questions pertaining to his citizenship status. Furthermore, Obama is not
upholding the Constitution as he is aware he is ineligible to serve as the Pressident of
the United States. Obama has further violated the U.S. Constitution by fraudulently
collecting in excess of $450 Million dollars.
168. Obama promises on his website to End Deceptive Voting Practices.
"Obama states he will sign into law his legislation that establishes harsh penalties
for those who have engaged in voter fraud and provide voters who have been misinformed
with accurate and full information so they can vote." Obama has made the promises
however, has been dishonest regarding his citizenship status and has refused to prove his
citizenship status so Plaintiff and other voter's can be well educated into our
Presidential candidate.
169. Obama states on his webpage at http://factcheck.barackobama.com
"I want to campaign the same way I govern, which is to respond directly and
forcefully w i t h the truth" ~ Barack Obama, 11/08/07. Unfortunately, this is not
true, Obama has not

Filed 10/06/2008 Page 60 of 70
Z:\Forms\Obama, First Amended Complaint 100608
Page 61
been honest about his citizenship and he has refused to provide proof of
his citizenship status. Instead, Obama and his campaign placed an image on Obama's
website purporting to be an original Certification of Live Birth (COLB) of Obama's
from Hawaii. It was later determined the COLB on www.fightthesmears.com turned out to be
an altered and forged COLB.
170. The DNC and FEC bear the responsibility of vetting the Democratic
Presidential candidate, among other things, to ensure the eligibility requirements
pursuant to our Constitution are met and the Presidential nominee, if elected, is
qualified and eligible to serve pursuant to our United States Constitution. The DNC has
promised the people to uphold this obligation which is part of upholding the United
States Constitution.
171. To date, the DNC has never verified the eligibility of Obama, despite
knowing Obama was not an eligible candidate, as promised, and instead nominated Obama as
the Democratic Presidential Nominee. The DNC is well aware Obama cannot hold the United
States Office of the Presidency and therefore failed to follow through on their
promises.
172. Additionally, the DNC has not upheld the U.S. Constitution, their
protections of Plaintiff and/or the Democratic citizens of the United States, nor have
they done the job they have promised Plaintiff and other Democratic citizens. 173. As a
result, there is significant disenfranchisement of the Democratic Party, which has harmed
Plaintiff. The disenfranchisement is a result of the DNC allowing a noncitizen; in fact a
citizen of Indonesia, to be the Democratic Nominee, knowing Obama cannot serve as the
President of the United States, if elected. The DNC has

Filed 10/06/2008 Page 61 of 70
Z:\Forms\Obama, First Amended Complaint 100608
Page 62
allowed Obama's fraudulent campaigning to continue and Plaintiff has
been deprived money which he donated to support an eligible Democratic Nominee to run,
and if elected, to serve as the President of the United States. 174. Plaintiff has been
deprived of money and billable hours by fraudulent means as a result of donating money
and billable hours to secure, as promised, an eligible Democratic candidate for Office of
the Presidency, in which to cast his vote. The DNC named Obama as the Democratic Nominee,
who is ineligible to serve as the President of the United States as he is not a
"natural born" citizen, a qualification and eligibility requirement pursuant to
Article II, Section I of the United States Constitution. Moreover, Plaintiff has been
deprived of his right to vote for an eligible Democratic Nominee for the U.S. Office of
the Presidency.
175. Plaintiff has been severely damaged as a result of Defendants
actions. Plaintiff has been deprived of liberty, property, due process of law and equal
protections of the laws all guaranteed under the United States Constitution.
176. As a result of Obama's message to the People of America,
Plaintiff has suffered damage to his reputation and discrimination and fears for his
safety as a result of attempting to protect his rights and verify the eligibility of
Obama to serve as President of the United States. Plaintiff has been repeatedly called a
racist and verbally assaulted for bringing forward this lawsuit against Obama. Plaintiff
is not a racist and is a paid Life Member of the NAACP. Plaintiff has received numerous
nasty emails accusing him of being a racist as a result of filing this action against
Obama. Moreover, Plaintiff was verbally assaulted by a black female in public for
bringing suit against Obama questioning his citizenship status. All of which is in
Case 2:08-cv-04083-RBS Document 14-2
Filed 10/06/2008 Page 62 of 70

Page 63
violation of Plaintiff's right's to due process of the law, equal
protection of the laws and the Liberty Clause secured by the Fourteenth Amendment of the
U.S. Constitution.
177. All elements required to invoke Promissory Estoppel have been met by
Plaintiff. The DNC and Obama made a promise to Plaintiff, which Plaintiff relied upon and
expected. Not only has Plaintiff suffered economic losses; he has lost his constitutional
right to vote for an eligible Democratic candidate who can serve as the President of the
United States, if elected.
178. The only way justice can be served is by the Court enforcing the
promise of the DNC and Obama.
179. For the above aforementioned reasons, Defendants need to immediately
uphold their promises, uphold the United States Constitution and immediately supply a
certified copy of Obama's "vault" (original long version) birth
certificate; certified copies of all reissued and sealed birth certificates for Obama; a
certified copy of Obama's Certification of Citizenship; a Certified copy of
Obama's Oath of Allegiance taken upon the age of Majority; and certified copies of
Obama's Admission forms for Occidental College, Columbia University and Harvard law
School. If Defendants are unable to supply said documents, Obama needs to immediately
step down and withdraw his candidacy for President of the United States.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, Philip J. Berg, Esquire, respectfully prays that
this Court:
- A. Order Defendants to immediately turn over the following documents:
- 1. A certified copy of Obama's "vault" (original long version)
birth certificate;

President until he is able to prove his citizenship status and eligibility to hold the
United States Office of the Presidency;
- D. Preliminary and permanently enjoin Defendants, The Democratic National Committee
(DNC), from placing Defendant Barack Hussein Obama, a/k/a Barry `Obama, a/k/a Barry

proper.
COUNT EIGHT (Against Defendant Obama)
Loss of nationality by native-born or naturalized citizen 8 U.S.C. §
1481(b)
180. Plaintiff hereby incorporates Paragraphs 1 through 179 as if fully
set forth herein.
181. Obama was born in Mombosa, Kenya in or about August 4, 1961. At the
time of his birth, Obama's father was a citizen of Kenya and his mother was a U.S.
citizen, eighteen (18) years of age. The Nationality Act of 1940, revised June 1952
required the citizen parent of a child born abroad must reside in the United States for
ten (10) years, five (5) of which were after the age of fourteen (14) in order to
register the child born abroad as a United States "natural born" citizen.
Obama's mother was not old enough to pass on U.S. "natural born"
citizenship to Obama and therefore could only register his birth as
"naturalized".
182. Even if Obama would have been able to be registered as a U.S.
"natural born" citizen in Hawaii, which was not available, he lost his
citizenship in the United States when his mother married Lolo Soetoro, a citizen of
Indonesia, and became a naturalized citizen in Indonesia and set up residency in
Indonesia with her new husband. Minor's follow their custodial parent's
citizenship status.
Case 2:08-cv-04083-RBS Document 14-2
Filed 10/06/2008 Page 65 of 70
Z:\Forms\Obama, First Amended Complaint 100608
Page 66
183. Moreover, Obama's Indonesian step father, Lolo Soetoro, signed a
Government acknowledgement form acknowledging Obama as his son and/or legally adopted
Obama, either of which changed Obama's citizenship status to a "natural"
citizen of Indonesia. Thus, Obama could have only obtained Naturalized citizenship status
in the United States, if in fact he and/or his family filed the proper immigration
paperwork.
184. Under Indonesian law, when a male acknowledges a child as his son, it
deems the son, in this case Obama, as an Indonesian State citizen. Constitution of
Republic of Indonesia, Law No. 62 of 1958 Law No. 12 of 2006 dated 1 Aug. 2006 concerning
Citizenship of Republic of Indonesia, Law No. 9 of 1992 dated 31 Mar. 1992 concerning
Immigration Affairs and Indonesian Civil Code (Kitab Undang-undang Hukum Perdata)
(KUHPer) (Burgerlijk Wetboek voor Indonesie) states in pertinent part, State citizens of
Indonesia include: (viii) children who are born outside of legal marriage from foreign
State citizen mother who are acknowledged by father who is Indonesian State citizen as
his children and that acknowledgment is made prior to children reaching 18 years of age
or prior to marriage; Republic of Indonesia Constitution 1945, As amended by the First
Amendment of 1999, the Second Amendment of 2000, the Third Amendment of 2001 and the
Fourth Amendment of 2002, Chapter X, Citizens and Residents, Article 26 states, "(1)
Citizens shall consist of indigenous Indonesian peoples and persons of foreign origin who
have been legalized [sic] as citizens in accordance with law. (2) Residents shall consist
of Indonesian citizens and foreign nationals living in Indonesia."

185. Furthermore, under the Indonesian adoption law, once adopted by an
Indonesian citizen, the adoption severs the child's relationship to the birth
parents, and the adopted child is given the same status as a natural child, Indonesian
Constitution, Article 2.
186. The Indonesian citizenship law was designed to prevent apatride
(stateless) or bipatride (dual citizenship). Indonesian regulations recognize neither
apatride nor bipatride citizenship. Obama's mother was required to renounce her U.S.
citizenship and was sponsored by her Indonesian spouse. Minor children followed their
custodial parent's citizenship status.
187. Obama was enrolled by his parents in a public school, Fransiskus
Assisi School, a public school, in Jakarta, Indonesia. Plaintiff has received copies of
the school registration in which it clearly states Obama's name as "Barry
Soetoro," and lists his citizenship as Indonesian, his citizenship number as 203.
Obama's father is listed as Lolo Soetoro, Obama's date of birth and place of
birth are listed as August 4, 1961 in Hawaii, and Obama's Religion is listed as
Islam. This document was verified by television show Inside Edition, whose reporter, Matt
Meagher, took the actual footage of the school record. At the time Obama was registered,
the public schools obtained and verified the citizenship status and name of the student
through the Indonesian Government. All Indonesian students were required to carry
government identity cards, or Karty Tanda Pendudaks, as well as family card
identification called a Kartu Keluarga. The Kartu Keluarga is a family card which bears
the legal names of all family members. Indonesia did not allow foreign students to attend
their schools and Indonesia Immigration Officials and the Police frequently visited the
schools to

Page 68
ensure the students attending were all Indonesian citizens pursuant to the
laws. At the time Obama attended school in Jakarta Indonesia, Indonesia did not allow
foreign students to attend their public schools.
188. Plaintiff is informed, believes and thereon alleges Obama stated his
citizenship as Kenyan on his College Admission forms to Occidental College, Columbia
University and Harvard Law School.
189. Furthermore, Obama traveled to Indonesia, Pakistan and Southern India
in 1981. The relations between Pakistan and India were extremely tense and Pakistan was
in turmoil and under martial law. The country was filled with Afghan refugees; and
Pakistan's Islamist-leaning Interservices Intelligence Agency (ISI) had begun to
provide arms to the Afghan mujahideen and to assist the process of recruiting radicalized
Muslim men--jihadists--from around the world to fight against the Soviet Union. Pakistan
was so dangerous that it was on the State Department's travel ban list for US
Citizens. Non-Muslim visitors were not welcome unless sponsored by their embassy for
official business. A Muslim citizen of Indonesia traveling on an Indonesian passport
would have success entering Indonesia, Pakistan and India. Therefore, it is believed
Obama traveled on his Indonesian passport entering the Countries. Indonesian passports
require renewal every five (5) years. At the time of Obama's travels to Indonesia,
Pakistan and India, Obama was twenty (20) years old. If Obama would have been a U.S.
citizen, which he was not, 8 USC §1481(a)(2) provides loss of nationality by
native born citizens upon "taking an oath or making an affirmation or other formal
declaration of allegiance to a foreign state...after having attained the age of eighteen
years", in violation of 8 U.S.C. §1401(a)(1).

Page 69
190. If in fact Obama ever had citizenship, he lost his citizenship by
becoming a "natural" citizen of Indonesia. Obama could have gained United
States "naturalized" citizenship status, however, he and/or his family would
have been required to file the appropriate Immigration paperwork and obtain a
Certification of Citizenship, which Obama and his family failed to do.
191. For the reason's stated herein Obama is still a citizen of
Indonesia and is not a United States "natural born" citizen, he is not a
"naturalized" citizen of the United States and is here in the United States as
an "illegal alien".
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, Philip J. Berg, Esquire, respectfully prays that this Court:
- A. Order Defendant to prove his citizenship status and immediately turn over the
following documents:
-
- 1. A certified copy of Obama's "vault" (original long version)
birth certificate;
- 2. Certified copies of all reissued and sealed birth certificates of Obama in
the names referred to in the caption of this lawsuit;
- 3. A certified copy of Obama's Certification of Citizenship;
- 4. A certified copy of Obama's Oath of Allegiance taken upon age of
majority;
- 5. Certified copies of Obama's Admission forms for Occidental College,
Columbia University and Harvard Law School; and
- 6. Certified copies of any Court Orders or legal documents changing Obama's
name from Barry Soetoro to Barack Hussein Obama.
