ISSUE: My bill (H.R. 1503) would require all future candidates for President to provide documents (including a birth certificate) proving they are eligible to hold the office of President under our Constitution. I need your immediate help if I am to survive the all-out attacks against me by the left-wing hacks and liberal media because of this bill I introduced.
 This bill (H.R. 1503) would require all candidates for President in the future to provide documentation (such as a birth certificate) to prove they are natural born citizens of the United States - which is a requirement outlined in our Constitution. My question to you is: "Where do you stand on this?" Our Constitution 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."This is very clear. "Natural born" means born in the United States. For most Americans, birth certificates are a matter of public record. The question is: Do you think we should just ignore the Constitution of the United States? Or do you think we should follow our Constitution? I have never been known as a bomb thrower or an especially controversial figure. But I'm being lambasted by the media and late-night comics. And the national liberal left has made me Target #1 for defeat in the 2010 Congressional elections, already making tens of thousands of automated phone calls in my district and raising a multi-million-dollar campaign war chest to defeat me. I am writing to ask if you will contribute to help me raise the $4,000,000 that I will need to withstand the blistering assault already being waged against me - and that will only intensify in the coming weeks and months. Most supporters of my campaign are sending contributions in the $25 to $50 range. Some are sending larger gifts - from $100 up to even $1,000 - while others are making an equal sacrifice by sending $10 or $15. Only you know what is the right amount for you. I am in urgent need of every dollar I can possibly raise if I am to survive this liberal assault and keep this Congressional seat in conservative Republican hands. I will need lots of small contributions from regular taxpayers who are angry and fed up with the tax-and-spend policies of Nancy Pelosi and the liberal Democrats who control Congress. We can hold these extremist policies in check if we elect more conservatives to Congress. That is why I need your financial help to survive the massive assault that's coming at me right now. They are stopping at nothing to defeat me - to make me pay for having the gall to enforce the Constitution. As a result, I am in urgent need of contributions if I am to have any chance to withstand the blistering advertising assault I'm being hit with. I will anxiously look for your donation to my re-election campaign to arrive in the next few minutes so we can keep this Congressional seat in conservative Republican hands. If I am to survive this multi-million-dollar assault, I need every conservative who reads this message to answer this S.O.S. Emergency Call-for-Help with your best contribution. Sincerely,  Congressman Bill Posey Republican Member of the U.S. House of Representatives Florida's 15th District P.S.- I never imagined that simply introducing a bill that would require future candidates for the Presidency of the United States to present a birth certificate or other proof of citizenship upon filing for their candidacy would have kicked up such a firestorm. As a result, I am now Target #1 of the left-wing hacks and the liberal media, who are now rolling out a multi-million-dollar advertising and media blitz to defeat me. So I am in urgent need of contributions right now if I am going to survive this blistering assault and keep this Congressional seat in Conservative Republican hands. Thank you so much for your immediate help. |
