The American Patriot Foundation is pleased to announce that LTC Lakin has repositioned his forces, has retained new legal counsel, and is extremely grateful that the Foundation will be dedicating the critical next few weeks before his planned court-martial on November 3-5, to focusing entirely on public affairs, strategic communications/messaging and coalition-building and that their support will continue seamlessly as the new attorney prepares for trial.
LTC Lakin is consistent in continuing on the same path that he announced publicly six months ago when he released his first YouTube video– and consistent with his military training, to continue to request assurance from Pentagon leadership that his military orders, including his deployment orders to Afghanistan, are legal– authorized at the highest level by a Commander-in-Chief who is Constitutionally eligible, per Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution. As a medical officer and not a lawyer or Constitutional scholar, LTC Lakin is not laying claim to be the sole arbiter of the President’s Constitutionality in attempting to determine, without any genuine evidence to make such a determination, the President’s “natural born” citizen status. The burden of proof rests solely on Barack Obama to demonstrate to the American people and to the U.S. Armed Forces that he commands, that he is lawfully serving in his current capacity as head of the Executive Branch of the federal government.
The Army prosecutors have made this determination of the Commander-in-Chief’s eligibility under the Constitution impossible– by denying discovery- and essentially denying LTC Lakin the customary due process rights that defendants in American courts enjoy when facing criminal charges, and in LTC Lakin’s case, a jail sentence of several years at Fort Leavenworth prison.

Army officer’s supporters warn of ‘greatest fraud ever’
wnd
October 9
An organization that says it linked an Army doctor challenging Barack Obama’s eligibility with a new legal defense team contends the unveiling of the president’s birth certificate would prove one of two things: he was a dual citizen or there has been “the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on the American people.”
Leaders of the United States Patriots Union have told WND the officer’s arguments need to go beyond the quest for the president’s original birth certificate because that would reveal only some of the evidence needed.

“A birth certificate would only prove one of two things – 1) Barack Hussein Obama (Sr) is his bloodline birth father and Barack Jr. was thereby a ‘dual citizen’ rather than natural born citizen at birth. In this case, Obama fails constitutional requirements,” a statement prepared by the organization said.

Or, in the second case, “Barack Hussein Obama (Sr) is NOT his stated birth father on the birth records, in which case Obama has committed the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on the American people.”

“A birth certificate cannot solve Barack Hussein Obama’s problem, unless and until an unconstitutional precedent can be set in court that ‘natural-born’ – ‘native-born’ and ‘naturalized’ are all one in the same. We know that they are not the same things, and why the Founders limited eligibility for the office of president to only ‘natural-born’ citizens. Anything less creates a very real national security crisis,” the organization stated.

The statement was provided to WND by spokesman J.B. Williams, who explained the union and Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely helped introduce Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin to a new attorney, Lt. Col. Neal Puckett.
Vallely, a noted military leader who now is a presence on the Internet with his Stand Up For America and Veteran Defenders, has told WND he thinks Obama should resign.

“We can wait no longer for a traditional change of power and new government,” he warned during an earlier interview. “We now must call for the immediate resignation of Barry Soetoro (aka President Barack Hussein Obama) … based on incompetence, deceit, fraud, corruption, dishonesty and violation of the U.S. oath of office and the Constitution.”

He reported the union also is putting together an “A Team” of expert legal counselors to support Puckett and Lakin.
Exactly what strategic changes, if any, will be made in Lakin’s case are yet to be revealed. Lakin’s position has been to maintain that there are enough legitimate questions about Obama’s eligibility to support his conclusion that orders under Obama’s chain of command could be illegal and he would, therefore, be required to disobey them.
