    FLORIDA COURT SETS HEARING ON OBAMA BALLOT CHALLENGE

    FOR JUNE 18, 2012

    Judge Terry Lewis States "Natural Born Citizen" Definition Will Be Decided

    May 31, 2012, Tallahassee, FL - Activist attorney Larry Klayman announced today that Judge

    Terry Lewis of Leon County, FL has set a hearing on June 18th, 2012 at 9:00am to hear

    arguments from both sides about whether the eligibility of President Barack Hussein Obama can

    be determined in open court. Judge Lewis made crucial rulings in the famous Bush v. Gore casein 2000.

    Florida's election statutes provide broad protections for voters to ensure that the integrity of the

    election system is beyond reproach. One of such laws allows voters to challenge the nomination

    of a candidate who is not eligible for the office he is seeking. Plaintiff Michael Voeltz, a

    registered Democrat, challenged the eligibility of President Obama because he was not born totwo citizen parents and thus not a "natural born citizen" as required by Article II the U.S.

    Constitution.

    During the hearing over discovery issues, which Mr. Klayman wants to take the week of June 18,

    Judge Lewis noted that Mr. Klayman's brief cited legal authority that a president, to be

    eligible, must have two (2) U.S. citizen parents, but President Obama and the other

    defendants cited no authority to the contrary. Mr. Klayman had cited the U.S. SupremeCourt case ofMinor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162 (1875). Judge Lewis ordered further briefing on

    this issue prior to the hearing.

    Klayman stressed that the eligibility is very important particularly with this president, Barack

    Hussein Obama. He added: "The framers were not stupid. They understood that a presidentwith divided loyalties could present a security and other risks for our nation. Obama's Muslim

    heritage, which emanates from his Kenyan father (who had to be deported from the U.S.),

    frankly explains why he frequently sides with and takes actions to further the interests of Muslim

    nations against the United States; specifically his refusal to take forceful action against theIslamic Republic of Iran and its leaders over nuclear armament and human rights violations and

    atrocities."

    In a CNN interview yesterday Donald Trump stated 'Obama hates this subject' meaning theeligibility issue. This is because he appears not to be a legitimate American president, but

    instead an imposter who has fooled many. Unfortunately, the American people are the victims.

    It's time that Obama, despite his protestations in proving his eligibility, either put up or shut upby coming forward with real proof, not doctored, computer-generated "proof" that he is eligible.The courts should finally require this real proof as to whether he is eligible for office," Klayman

    added.

    The case is entitled Voeltz v. Obama, et. al. (No. 2012 CA 467) and is being heard in the Circuit

    Court Of The Second Judicial Circuit In And For Leon County, Florida. To request an interviewplease contact Adrienne Mazzone at (561) 750-9800.
