Two New Jersey residents, including one from Monmouth County, are challenging President Barack Obama's place on the state's primary ballot, according to the Bayshore Tea Party Group, which operates its branch headquarters in Middletown.
Despite the release of a longform birth certificate by the White House in April of 2011, Nick Purpura, of Monmouth County, has filed a challenge along with Ocean County resident Ted Moran alleging that Obama has never shown adequate proof that he was born in the United States.
Their claim, based on their own Constitution interpretation, is one commonly associated with the Tea Party — that his father was never a citizen of the United States, so Obama is not a natural born citizen. Obama was born in Hawii, in the United States.
The challenge will be heard by an administrative law judge Tuesday at the Administrative Law Offices in Quakerbridge and the Bayshore Group has asked those interested in attending to consider carpooling.
The primary election is scheduled for June 5.
The petition, which was uploaded to the the document-sharing site Scribd, cites sources that include World Net Daily, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, the controversial elected sheriff of Maricopa County, Az., and videos posted on YouTube as evidence why Obama may not be eligible to be this country's president.
From the petition:
"Candidate Obama has not conclusively proven his identity and he is perpetrating a fraud upon Objector Purpora (sic) and Moran by not revealing his true identity which is harmful to their rights as voters and citizens. The objection to Candidate Obama's nominating petition is twofold. We first allege that he has not conclusively proven that he was born in the United States. We also allege that even if he was born in the United States, he is still not an Article II "natural born Citizen" because he fails to meet the requirements of the traditional American common law definition of the clue which is a child born in the country to two U.S. citizen parents."

Today’s America is threatened by many foreign influences. Islam, as a political and legal system, is more dangerous than any nation because it is an international movement. In many ways the Islamic movement has been more successful than communism at influencing our nation. Most of us could not imagine that a man whose father was a communist and who was educated in a communist country who had a name like Boris Rumanov could ever be elected as President of the United States. Yet a man whose father and step father were both Muslim and whose early childhood education was done in a Muslim country and has a distinctively Muslim name is now President of the United States. http://thesteadydrip.blogspot.com/2012/04/elected-president-is-foreign-influence.html
He released his long form birth certificate. Get over it.
<p> </p> So our right-wing, Republican in all but name President is a (Shhhhh!) Secret Muslim? Really? <p> </p> Well, that explains his ongoing war in Afghanistan, the drone strikes in Pakistan, and, best of all, the Administration's ginning up for another Neocon war against another Muslim country, this time Iran. <p> </p> <p> </p> But hey, I guess the mirage that there's actually still two parties in the United States instead of a corporatist oligarchy will keep some folks busily focused on distractions, while the 1% continues to decimate the middle class and take what's left of our freedoms.
