Good afternoon! This is Dan Hocker, taking my lunch hour to be with you here on The Lion’s Den, here on Renueva Tu Fe Radion 1430AM, Tu Estacion, Diferente! Hey it’s good to be back with you today. Thanks for tuning in. Have I ever had a great week! Of course, I just love this time of year anyway! It’s Christmas! And I want begin by wishing all of you a Merry Christmas! Feliz Navidad! No, I’m not Jose Feliciano, but I really enjoy his rendition and “I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas from the bottom of my Heart!” We’re in the middle of our Christmas Celebrations! Sunday night we had our Christmas play, “The Chronicles of Suburbia.” If you’re not familiar with the play, it’s a kind of parody on C.S. Lewis’s “Chonicles of Narnia.” In this 45 minute play, the children go on an adventure through the wardrobe, but instead of ending up in a fantasy world, the visit another time and place, the Birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem. The play has the added interest of an angel named “Diego” to guide the kids to birthplace of the Savior, where they discover the real meaning of Christmas, joining the angels and shepherds to worship the newborn King.
Have you thought about what a time of hardship it was during that first Christmas? It was a time of great difficulty! For Joseph and Mary there was this costly trip under difficult conditions. How could you have any humbler setting than to give birth to your child in a stable? But there the shepherds came and they worshipped the King! This year Christmas may be difficult for many of you who are listening. With the economic crisis, you may have limited resources, maybe no resources. Maybe you feel like the young drummer boy in this classic Christmas Carol, “I am poor boy and have no gift to bring fit to give a King.” But he plays his drum to worship the King. Here’s an arrangement of “Little Drummer Boy” by 98 Degrees. Merry Christmas!
Little Drummer Boy
You’re listening to the Lion’s Den on Tu Estacion Renueva Tu Fe Radio 1430 AM. This is Dan Hocker and we’re back with some hot topics for discussion again today! Hey, you know me. One thing I’m not is racist! And I could join the nation rejoicing in the defeat of racism if I believed that’s what was happening! Instead it looks like the United State may have been taken in the greatest con of the century. There certainly are still a lot of questions!
It looks like legal proceedings have begun against the Governor of Illinois, as well as Impeachment proceedings! Hey, people are wondering, what gives with all of these Obama associates? Do birds of feather flock together? Join the discussion today at 706-279-1430.
Hey, where were the celebrants when President George W. Bush appointed the first Black Woman to be the Secretary of State? Hey what was the problem? She should have been a double blessing! Maybe they just couldn’t celebrate because she wasn’t liberal enough? Maybe she was just too conservative to count! She certainly didn’t come to her office with truckload of baggage. No entourage of shady associates here! Hey, can somebody tell us what’s going on in America?
A few weeks ago I introduced you to a New York based author and journalist Joan Swirsky, and today I want to share some from an article she wrote this week for the Philadelphis Bulletin.
In Virgil's epic poem, the Aeneid, the story is told of Odysseus's plot to conquer Troy, thus ending 10 years of defeat for the Greeks. The Greeks' plan was to trick the citizens of Troy (the Trojans) into believing that the giant wooden horse they had constructed was a gift from the goddess Athena. They left their "gift" outside the city and withdrew their troops and ships, the better to convince the Trojans of their benevolent intentions.
At first, wary and suspicious, the Trojans came out from behind their walls to inspect the enormous horse. Once outside, they met a man named Sinon, who gained their trust by telling them that he had escaped from the murderous Greek regime He was so credible that when he suggested to the Trojans that they bring the wooden horse inside the city, they did. But unbeknown to the trusting Trojans, Sinon was a secret agent of the Greeks.
Once inside the city, the Greek warriors, under cover of darkness, emerged from hiding inside the horse and quickly opened the gates of Troy to allow the rest of the Greek armies to invade the city, whereupon they promptly slaughtered the Trojan men, enslaved the women and children, and completely destroyed the city of Troy.
The colossal ruse of the Trojan Horse - which resulted in the downfall of the great and mighty city of Troy - is similar to the ruse that increasing numbers of Americans believe Barack Obama has effected with his election to the presidency, specifically that the "warriors" of his campaign - including his longtime radical associates, a leftist media and a now-silenced conservative media, as well as far-left organizations like ACORN, et al. - have fooled a largely gullible electorate into believing that the man who offered "hope" and "change" meant something quite different than they were led to believe.
Contrast Virgil's poem to what is happening today. In the liberals' epic scheme, the story is about conquering Republicans, thus ending almost 10 years of electoral defeat.
The liberals' plan was to trick the citizens of the United States into believing their moderate-toned, multi-racial candidate was a gift to America, a way to expiate their collective guilt over racial discrimination and "heal the wounds" that, in their view, our big bad country was guilty of inflicting. They and their media lapdogs presented this "gift" with grandiose language and warm-and-fuzzy images, the better to convince the electorate of his benevolent intentions.
At first wary, Americans ultimately bought the media hype. Once they took a closer look, however, they were introduced to many Sinons - Tony Rezko, Jeremiah Wright, Rashid Khalidi, Louis Farrakhan, et al. But the "gift" assured them that he was being victimized by these people, and so the American people bought the "victim" thing and rewarded him with the nomination to be president.
Once Mr. Obama became the putative president-elect, his minions emerged not under cover of darkness but in broad daylight, expressing their full intentions to follow his lead in converting America into their dreamed-of Socialist paradise, complete with nationalized banks, health care, the auto industry, etc.; the reinstatement of the so-called Fairness Doctrine, which would effectively annihilate all dissenting opinions; the institution of a domestic police force that has eerie echoes to the repressive goon squads of the Soviet Empire and other Communist and Socialist regimes; bringing about the massive redistribution of wealth, and spitting in the face of our most precious founding document, the U.S. Constitution.
Wow! Does Joan ever raise some strong questions? Does it make you wonder what’s going on? Where are we headed as a nation? Want to share your opinion? Call us at 706-279-1430, or email us at thelionsden1430@live.com. Do you wonder what has happened? Have we lost our sense of direction as a nation? Or as the church are we being the salt and light, God has called us to be? Where is our impact on the nation? I believe Phillips, Craig, and Dean sing about the answer in their song “Restoration” when they say, let’s “show the world we mean what we say.” What we really need is Restoration!
Restoration
You’re listening to the Lion’s Den on Renueva Tu Fe Radio Tu Estacion, Diferente! This is Dan Hocker and I’ve been sharing from an article by Joan Swirsky. If you’re interested in more from Joan you can check out her website at www.joanswirsky.com or you can read this article in its entirety at www.usjf.net the United States Justice Foundation website. If you want to share your opinion, you can call us here at 706-279-1430. Now back to Joan’s comments. She writes:
Mr. Obama's hope, it is now apparent, is for a "globalist" America. And his change, it is now apparent, is the polar opposite of free-market capitalism, a free press, freedoms of religion, assembly, etc., any semblance of respect for the United States Constitution, and, who knows, a resurrection of his revolutionary Marxist black liberation theology to replace the Judeo-Christian tenets upon which our country was founded.
"The most noticeable characteristic of Obama," says Dr. Kate, in a chilling article entitled The Trojan Candidate, "is his profound lack of respect for America as shown with his behavior on the flag pin; the failure to observe decorum regarding the national anthem; the fake presidential seal; the printed announcement of his speech in Germany; the upside down flag on the tickets and behind Joe Biden at the convention; his airplane with a painted-over American flag; and his detached and callous appearance at Ground Zero. By this behavior, Mr. Obama is mocking America, cheapening its decorum and symbols."
Dr. Kate reminds her readers that it was one of Mr. Obama's role models, Saul Alinsky, who wrote "Rules for Radicals" and who believed that change "meant a Marxist revolution achieved by slow, incremental, Machiavellian means that turned society inside out. This had to be done through systematic deception, winning the trust of the naively idealistic middle class by using the language of morality to conceal an agenda designed to destroy it."
She further asks why Mr. Obama's close friend, the unrepentant domestic terrorist William Ayers, would quote the following poem in his blog just two months before the election:
"The end of an empire is messy at best.
And this empire is ending
Like all the rest
Like the Spanish Armada adrift on the sea,
we're adrift in the land of the brave.
And the home of the free.
Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye."
"Do you think he knows something, or hopes for something that we don't?" she asks. "Obama is not who he says he is ... I also wonder about his Manchurian Candidate characteristics. What is inside this Trojan Horse? Who is he a front for?"
Do these things make you nervous? Hello? Where oh where is the national media? Where have they gone? Are they so enamored with making history that they are oblivious to these issues? Who is speaking up for the people now? We are facing the gravest of crisis as a nation and more than ever we need the Savior! Only He can save! Only He can heal! Here’s Mac Powell, with Brian Littrell, Steven Curtis Chapman, and Mark Hall singing “By His Wounds”
By His Wounds
Where Things Stand Now
As I've written in five articles, the most crucial issue is the fact that Mr. Obama's eligibility to be president is being seriously challenged by about 20 lawsuits, many of them waged by Democrats and Independents. Several of these suits have now reached the U.S. Supreme Court. They all claim that Mr. Obama does not meet one of the three criteria that the U.S. Constitution requires of anyone who runs for the presidency of the United States of America. That criterion is that he or she be a "natural-born citizen" of the United States.
December 1, writes attorney Thomas J. Latino, was "the deadline for the Obama legal team to file their response to the Berg Petition for a Writ of Certiorari. There was nothing. Mr. Obama has done what hasn't been done before...he] has blatantly ignored a request from the Supreme Court of the United States - our highest and most revered legal institution. Mr. Obama, quite frankly, has thumbed his nose at the highest court in our land."
On Dec. 5, Leo Donofrio, a plaintiff in Donofrio v. Wells, is scheduled to have his case heard by the nine Justices of the Supreme Court, who have agreed to hold a "Rule of Four" Conference. This means If four of the nine Justices agree that Mr. Donofrio's case has merit, there is the potential for the Justices to issue a "stay" of the Electoral College vote on Dec. 15, which would prevent the Electoral College members from casting their votes until this explosive issue has been resolved.
Conspiracy Theories
In one of my articles, I noted that it was not unexpected that the liberal media - who have been shilling for Mr. Obama for over two years - have covered up his shady, anti-American and anti-Semitic associations, his über-far-left voting record, and his questionable eligibility to be president. But it amazed me that conservative media hosts, who pride themselves on independence and probing inquiries, have been totally mute in covering this issue. Here is what I wrote:
I speculated that President George W. Bush might have received highly credible evidence from our enemies that they had a number of devastating (probably nuclear suitcase) weapons - set up and ready to be activated in as many as six-to-10 of our major cities - unless he had his functionaries direct all media outlets to steer clear of the birth certificate issue or face Draconian consequences.
In literally hundreds of e-mails I received, the following were other theories I found intriguing:
* One said to "follow the money," that conservative media honchos had been threatened with massive boycotts from the ACORN crowd to go after their advertisers. Money talks!
* A graphic designer suggested that George Soros dipped into his billions and "treated" major media people to a cool $5 million each.
* Another person suggested that the birth certificate "crisis" was a deliberate act on Obama's part to change the U.S. Constitution, the better to enable foreign leadership to someday take charge of America and allow the Globalists to run our county and establish their New World Order.
* Writer Michael Bresciani even suggested that the media's "fear of embarrassment" may be at play. "He won a landslide ... the idea is that winning is more important than keeping the rules ... The next time a whistle blows on the field in a NFL game, won't the whole game stop in its tracks and wait for the announcement of the referee? Isn't [the Obama constitutional question] a far more grave matter than a flag going down in a football game?"
* Someone else suggested that the Democrats were holding the "Fairness Doctrine" gun to the heads of major radio station owners, striking a deal in which the doctrine would not be revived if they collectively cooperated in avoiding the birth certificate story.
But the most compelling "conspiracy theory" came from a woman in California, who wrote:
"I don't think it's about pay-offs to this or that power-that be that accounts for the media blackout. This could never explain the article in the Wall Street Journal by the staunchly dependable conservative James Taranto, who scoffed at the birth certificate issue. Or why Limbaugh, Levin, Hannity, Ingraham and all the others, including Hugh Hewitt, have avoided this issue. Or why conservative radio icons Al Rantel and Tammy Bruce have so quickly done an about-face, even screeching and threatening their call-in audience never to mention the birth-certificate issue. In fact Bruce seemed to experience a personality alteration by declaring loudly and angrily that if any bloggers on her site posted any material whatsoever that alluded to Obama's birth certificate, they would be permanently banned from TammyBruce.com.
"To me, it's reminiscent of the 'German thing' - where ordinary, proud, conservative, responsible Germans suddenly realized that their livelihoods and perhaps their lives depended upon supporting a powerful 'new order.' It was none other than Josef Goebbels who said that the way to take over a country by a relatively minute cabal of fascists was to gain control of two entities: the media and the armed forces. That's why we heard Obama promise to establish a national police force that was just as strong and well- funded and powerful as the U.S. military. He and his cabal know that they can't turn the U.S. military, so they're going to try to set up their own Gestapo.
"I suspect," she continued, "that a memo went out en masse to the media from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) not to mention the birth certificate subject under penalty of losing their licenses to broadcast. Now we have practically a national shutdown of the media, and the only entity that would have had the power to bring this about is the FCC - and not a Saudi who owns 6 percent of Fox News! For the entire airwaves, in unison, to suddenly take the position that Mr. Obama's birth certificate is out of bounds means that they've been ordered not to discuss it.
"Think about it ... every single one of the major radio hosts rebuked callers at the same time - and on the same day in most cases! My guess is that big guns from ACORN and also from the Nation of Islam have gotten to the F.C.C. and have told them in no uncertain terms that if Mr. Obama is blocked from becoming POTUS, there will be hell to pay all over America. And obviously these threats were deemed credible enough by those making the decisions at the FCC that they have succeeded. This is nothing less than a political coup d'état! Unless, that is, the Justices of the Supreme Court and the Electors of the Electoral College still take seriously their oaths to protect and defend the U.S. Constitution."
Interesting, I must add, that while the American media have for the most part blacked-out this explosive story, none-other than Pravda has been covering it!
Conspiracies? Well I don’t know about all of these, but I am certain about one conspiracy. It began in eternity past when an angel named Lucifer led an uprising in heaven. That one failed. He was cast out of heaven, and here on earth he continues to conspire against God all that are his. Yes, there is a conspiracy against this one nation under God, but we know what happens in the end. The Jesus we celebrate during this Christmas season will one day rule the entire earth for a thousand years! Let me encourage you today to put all your trust in Him, He alone is our source of strength and hope.
In Christ Alone
What Lies Ahead
According to legal scholar Dr. Edwin Vieira Jr., "America is facing potentially the gravest constitutional crisis in her history. Barack Obama must either stand up in a public forum and prove, with conclusive documentary evidence, that he is `a natural born Citizen' of the United States who has not renounced his American citizenship - or he must step down as the Democratic Party's candidate for President of the United States - preferably before the election is held, and in any event before the Electoral College meets....the burden of proof rests squarely on his shoulders."
Mr. Vieira further explains:
* If Mr. Obama fails to prove his citizenship but the voters, the electors, or the members of the House purport to "elect" him, Dr. Vieira says, "he will be nothing but a usurper, because the Constitution defines him as such. And he can never become anything else, because a usurper cannot gain legitimacy if even all of the country aid, abets, accedes to, or acquiesces in his usurpation."
* If Mr. Obama takes the presidential oath, knowing that he is not a natural-born citizen, "he will commit the crime of perjury or false swearing. So, even if the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court himself looks the other way and administers the oath, Obama will derive no authority whatsoever from it."
* If the oath is perjured, "Obama's every subsequent act in the usurped Office of President will be a criminal offense ..."
* If he is indeed a usurper, "Obama will not constitutionally be the commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States ... therefore, he will be entitled to no obedience whatsoever from anyone in those forces."
* If he is indeed a usurper, "Obama will have no conceivable authority to make Treaties, or to nominate, and appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the Supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States ..."
* "Congress can pass no law while a usurper pretends to occupy the Office of President. Thus, if Mr. Obama deceitfully enters office as an usurper, Congress will be rendered effectively impotent for as long as it acquiesces in his pretenses as 'president.'"
* "If Obama does become a usurper posturing as the president, Congress cannot even impeach him because not being the actual President he cannot be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors ... In that case, some other public officials would have to arrest him - with physical force, if he would not go along quietly - in order to prevent him from continuing his imposture."
* "If the Establishment allowed Obama to pretend to be the president and the people acquiesced in that charade, just about everything that was done during his faux tenure in office by anyone connected with the Executive Branch of the general government, and quite a bit done by the Legislative Branch and perhaps the Judicial Branch as well, would be arguably illegitimate and subject to being overturned when a constitutional president was finally installed in office."
Mr. Vieira ends by stating: "If he continues to dodge the issue, Obama will be dogged with this question every day of his purported 'presidency.' And inevitably the truth will out...for the issue is too simple, the evidence (or lack of it) too accessible. Either Obama can prove that he is a natural born Citizen who has not renounced his citizenship; or he cannot. If Obama knows that he is not a natural- born citizen ... then he also knows that he and his henchmen have perpetrated numerous election-related frauds throughout the country - the latest, still-ongoing one a colossal swindle targeting the American people as a whole."
It is clear that Mr. Vieira is not alone in his thinking. Gary Kreep, chief counsel for two California Electors and for Alan Keyes in a lawsuit that challenges Mr. Obama's eligibility, and chief of the United States Justice Foundation, has said that he intends to challenge Mr. Obama continuously on the citizenship issue well past inauguration on "every order, every proposal, every piece of paperwork" that Obama produces.
"We will file lawsuits on his actions, every time," Mr. Kreep told WorldNetDaily."Should Sen. Obama be discovered, after he takes office, to be ineligible for the Office of President of the United States of America and, thereby, his election declared void, petitioners, as well as other Americans, will suffer irreparable harm in that a) usurper will be sitting as the President of the United States, and b) none of the treaties, laws, or executive orders signed by him will be valid or legal."
WND also interviewed Judge Roy Moore, the former chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, who echoed the concerns of millions when he said: "We can survive four years of any president; we cannot survive without a Constitution. This calls for a major investigation. Our Constitution is at stake."

Praise Him in the Storm
Hello again, and welcome back to the Lion’s Den, here on Reunueva Tu Fe Radio 1430AM. This is Dan Hocker, your host for these 60 minutes. How are you? Me? Well, I am still Super Blessed! Busy, yes, but abundantly blessed! Who isn’t busy during the Christmas Season? There’s an old song that says my cup runneth over, and that certainly describes life right now! Sunday, after church, I played Santa Clause with my some of granddaughters. Yes, I know, somebody’s bound to think I’m a little crazy, and maybe I am, but I put on my red suit, complete with a big pillow to fill out the belly, black boots and belt, with white beard and Santa hat! Hey, I love Christmas! Then, on Monday night, I did a little shopping ‘til MIDNIGHT with my wife. Hey, everybody knows you can shop late at Walmart, and it’s not nearly so crowded. Last night there was play practice for our upcoming Christmas play, “Christmas in Suburbia,” which by the way we will be performing at Christian Fellowship, Sunday evening December the 14th at the church. The best part about play practice is that my wife and I get to baby sit, with one of the granddaughters while the others practice. Did I tell you that I love Christmas? Well, I certainly do and I want to wish you a Merry Christmas, as we share one the seasons loveliest carols, O, Holy Night.
This is Dan Hocker, and your are listening to Renueva Tu Fe Radio 1430AM, Diferente! It’s a beautiful but busy time of year! Besides today’s program, we have our midweek service tonight where we are continuing a series of videos by Dr. Kent Hovind. The session tonight will continue, “Lies in the Textbooks.” Tomorrow, I get to go back to my remodeling project. Well, whoa! Nellly! We need to slow down, and remember what Christmas is all about! We are celebrating Jesus Christ! I love it! The whole world is celebrating our Savior! Some don’t like it though! What amazes me is they way people fight against Christmas! Did you know that a Christmas Tree is now a religious symbol? And how about this one, a school board recently met to discuss whether or not “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” was appropriate for the children because it had clear referenced to a Christian holiday! What’s wrong with people? I’ve got news for you. The United States of America, at least for the time being, is still “one nation under God,” and our money still reads, “in God we trust!” In case you don’t know your American History, the God our founding Fathers were speaking about was the Christian God. They weren’t confused at all and understood perfectly well what they meant! By the way, however politically incorrect it may be, we still say, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Well how about some hot discussion topics for today? Did you know that I am way too political? I discovered this again at a recent ministers meeting where I was informed that the biggest obstacle to unity among churches was politics. Well, I am sure you can imagine that I was more than ready to respond to that! Hey, it depends on who is defining “politics.” There are those who want pastors and churches to limit their involvement so much that they no longer speak to the issues at all! If they can silence the church, then the silence the conscience and shut down the moral compass of the nation! When we faithfully speak to the issues, then we of necessity must address where people stand on these issues, and educate our people. For some time now, the political realm has invaded the moral realm, where we have a moral obligation not only to speak out but to give godly guidance and direction to the people.
Remember your comments are always welcome here on the Lions Den. You can join the discussion by calling 706-279-1430. We live, right now and looking forward to your call! 706-279-1430!
Did you hear the news yesterday about the arrest of the Governor of Illinois? Just minutes before 6 a.m. Tuesday morning, a pair of black sedans and an SUV raced up Richmond Street toward the personal residence of Gov. Rod Blagojevich on Sunnyside Avenue on Chicago's Northwest Side. About the same time, the phone inside Blagojevich's home began to ring. On the other end was Robert Grant, the FBI's special agent in charge in Chicago. Two agents were outside Blagojevich's front door with a warrant for his arrest, he announced to the governor. "Well, I woke him up," Grant recalled later Tuesday at a news conference to announce charges of fraud and bribery against Blagojevich. "The first thing [Blagojevich said] was, 'Was this a joke?'."
Grant asked the governor to quietly open the door "without the media finding out about it, without waking the children," he said. "He was very cooperative, and that's it."
What did Obama know ... and when did he know it?
Unanswered questions alarm anti-corruption investigators
The corruption arrest of Gov. Rod Blagojevich is raising questions about what Sen. Barack Obama knew of the Illinois Democrat's alleged activities, including his apparent offer to appoint Obama's preferred candidate to serve in the U.S. Senate in return for "private sector" help from Obama.
"This is a burgeoning crisis for Obama that should shake his presidency to its core," said Tom Fitton, chief of the Judicial Watch organization today.
"The criminal complaint filed today indicates that Obama and his team knew about Blagojevich's efforts to sell Obama's Senate seat," he said.
"Did Obama report Blagojevich to investigators about any efforts to sell his Senate seat?" Fitton asked.
Hey, I would love to hear you opinion, either live on the air at 706-279-1430, or on at my email address thelionsden1430@live.com or on my blog site which you can access via the Renueva Tu Fe Radio website at www.renuevatufe.com.
ABC's Jake Tapper also expressed concern over the same issue. On his blog, he wrote that while appearances seem to indicate Obama "refused to go along with the 'pay to play'" Blagojevich plan, there were significant questions.
For example, he wondered "how Blagojevich knew that Mr. Obama was not willing to give him anything in exchange for the Senate seat – with whom was Blagojevich speaking? Did that person report the governor to the authorities?"
Judicial Watch said it has been investigating Blagojevich for more than two years and has an ongoing open records litigation concerning "the sale of government jobs for which he was arrested today."
Does it make you wonder what an Obama White House will mean for the nation?
Hey I want to remind you that where sin abounds grace abounds even more! His Grace is sufficient for us in these tumultuous times. Here’s one of my favorite groups, Phillips, Craig, and Dean, singing, A Place Called Grace.
This is Dan Hocker and you’re listening to the Lion’s Den here on Renueva Tu Fe Radion 1430AM, Diferente!
"Blagojevich has stonewalled and refused to turn over documents to Judicial Watch that could have alerted the American people to his corruption," Fitton said.
"There has been an air of lawlessness around Gov. Blagojevich for some time and Judicial Watch applauds U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald for his actions," Fitton said. "Blagojevich's corruption is no surprise, but its breadth and depravity is shocking. The alleged efforts to sell the Senate seat of Barack Obama are outrageous, but also seem to implicate many other powerful politicians and political players. Especially disturbing are the questions the scandal raises about Barack Obama and his close associates."
The case outlined by prosecutors today targeted Blagojevich and his chief of staff, with prosecutors stating several times their work contained no allegations against Obama.
The case did, however, mention Tony Rezko, a longtime Obama friend, fundraiser and real estate partner, Judicial Watch noted.
Obama told reporters, "I had no contact with the governor or his office, so I was not aware of what was happening," clearly distancing himself from his home state and its governor, whom he previously had endorsed for re-election.
"I am saddened and sobered by the news that came out of the U.S. attorney's office today. But as this is an ongoing investigation involving the governor I don't think it would be appropriate for me to comment at this time," he said.
But Tapper noted Obama's senior adviser, David Axelrod, appeared "said something quite different" in an interview Nov. 23 with Chicago's Fox affiliate.
"While insisting that the president-elect had not expressed a favorite to replace him, and his inclination was to avoid being a 'kingmaker,'" Axelrod said, "I know he's talked to the governor and there are a whole range of names many of which have surfaced, and I think he has a fondness for a lot of them."
Campaign officials today said Axelrod mispoke but offered no further information.
Prosecutors alleged Blagojevich repeatedly tried to negotiate personal benefits for his official duties, including the provision in Illinois that he as governor would appoint a successor for Obama's now-vacated U.S. Senate seat.
The complaint alleged the governor sought information on what he could get from Obama in return for appointing Obama's selection to the post.
According to recordings made during the investigation, Blagojevich said, "Can [Obama] help in the private sector … where it wouldn't be tied to him? … I mean, so it wouldn't necessarily look like one for the other?"
Prosecutors said the governor was given a negative response about getting something in return and then called Obama an obscenity.
Blagojevich called the Senate appointment responsibility "golden."
"Unless I get something real good … I'll just send myself," he said at one point.
Tapper also cited the previous links between Obama and Blagojevich: Obama endorsed Blagojevich in 2002 and 2006 and served as his adviser during 2002.
Blagojevich returned the endorsement of Obama in 2004
It may seem like there’s corruption everywhere! You may wonder what’s going on with this nation of ours, but we can be certain that Jesus Christ still reigns! He is faithful through it all! Jeremy Camp makes that bold declaration of faith in this song, I Still Believe.
This is Dan Hocker and you’re listening to the Lion’s Den here on Renueva Tu Fe Radio 1430AM. I hope your faith is still in tact today! In times like these I want to encourage you to be strong and of good courage, and the Lord will strengthen your heart! Keep the Faith!
We’ve been discussing the the news about the arrest of Governor Blagojevich of Illinois yesterday morning and it’s implications for the Obama Presidency! Hey you are welcome to join the discussion by calling in at 706-279-1430.
Last week were discussing the questions about Obama’s eligibility to be president because of questions surrounding his citizenship status! Hey that story isn’t over yet! The Supreme Court rejected the first of some 20 cases. That’s right the refused to hear the first of these 20 cases, but they are lined up, and who knows? It’s probably not a question of if it will be addressed but when? Don’t you think it makes sense to settle this before the vote of the Electorate on December 15th?
Now that the Supreme Court has taken a pass on the issue, the action filed by USJF is our best hope when it comes to compelling President-elect Obama to respect the Constitution and provide the American people viable substantiation that is is Constitutionally qualified to be President of the United States.
Some of what you are about to hear may shock you. Some of what you hear may cause you to tremble.
In fact...
this may be the one of the most important things in your life!
The sad and unfortunate truth is that your life... the liberties and freedoms we all sometimes take for granted... your future and the future of your children and grandchild actually hinges on what actions you choose to take after reading this letter.
What would happen if you woke up one morning and found out that the President of the United States was a USURPER... a FRAUD... a PHONY?
Think about that question for a while before you answer.
Mull it over.
What would happen if the leader of the free world was Constitutionally ineligible to be President of the United Stated but - in direct and undisputable violation of the letter of the Constitution - decided to take and hold office anyway?
What would happen if a politician actually got away with such a thing?
Do you believe ANY of our God-given rights would remain secure?

Thanks for joining us again on The Lion’s Den. Blessings!
This is Dan Hocker, and your are listening to Renueva Tu Fe Radio 1430AM, Diferente! It’s a beautiful but busy time of year! Besides today’s program, we have our midweek service tonight where we are continuing a series of videos by Dr. Kent Hovind. The session tonight will continue, “Lies in the Textbooks.” Tomorrow, I get to go back to my remodeling project. Well, whoa! Nellly! We need to slow down, and remember what Christmas is all about! We are celebrating Jesus Christ! I love it! The whole world is celebrating our Savior! Some don’t like it though! What amazes me is they way people fight against Christmas! Did you know that a Christmas Tree is now a religious symbol? And how about this one, a school board recently met to discuss whether or not “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” was appropriate for the children because it had clear referenced to a Christian holiday! What’s wrong with people? I’ve got news for you. The United States of America, at least for the time being, is still “one nation under God,” and our money still reads, “in God we trust!” In case you don’t know your American History, the God our founding Fathers were speaking about was the Christian God. They weren’t confused at all and understood perfectly well what they meant! By the way, however politically incorrect it may be, we still say, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Well how about some hot discussion topics for today? Did you know that I am way too political? I discovered this again at a recent ministers meeting where I was informed that the biggest obstacle to unity among churches was politics. Well, I am sure you can imagine that I was more than ready to respond to that! Hey, it depends on who is defining “politics.” There are those who want pastors and churches to limit their involvement so much that they no longer speak to the issues at all! If they can silence the church, then the silence the conscience and shut down the moral compass of the nation! When we faithfully speak to the issues, then we of necessity must address where people stand on these issues, and educate our people. For some time now, the political realm has invaded the moral realm, where we have a moral obligation not only to speak out but to give godly guidance and direction to the people.
Remember your comments are always welcome here on the Lions Den. You can join the discussion by calling 706-279-1430. We live, right now and looking forward to your call! 706-279-1430!
Did you hear the news yesterday about the arrest of the Governor of Illinois? Just minutes before 6 a.m. Tuesday morning, a pair of black sedans and an SUV raced up Richmond Street toward the personal residence of Gov. Rod Blagojevich on Sunnyside Avenue on Chicago's Northwest Side. About the same time, the phone inside Blagojevich's home began to ring. On the other end was Robert Grant, the FBI's special agent in charge in Chicago. Two agents were outside Blagojevich's front door with a warrant for his arrest, he announced to the governor. "Well, I woke him up," Grant recalled later Tuesday at a news conference to announce charges of fraud and bribery against Blagojevich. "The first thing [Blagojevich said] was, 'Was this a joke?'."
Grant asked the governor to quietly open the door "without the media finding out about it, without waking the children," he said. "He was very cooperative, and that's it."
What did Obama know ... and when did he know it?
Unanswered questions alarm anti-corruption investigators
The corruption arrest of Gov. Rod Blagojevich is raising questions about what Sen. Barack Obama knew of the Illinois Democrat's alleged activities, including his apparent offer to appoint Obama's preferred candidate to serve in the U.S. Senate in return for "private sector" help from Obama.
"This is a burgeoning crisis for Obama that should shake his presidency to its core," said Tom Fitton, chief of the Judicial Watch organization today.
"The criminal complaint filed today indicates that Obama and his team knew about Blagojevich's efforts to sell Obama's Senate seat," he said.
"Did Obama report Blagojevich to investigators about any efforts to sell his Senate seat?" Fitton asked.
Hey, I would love to hear you opinion, either live on the air at 706-279-1430, or on at my email address thelionsden1430@live.com or on my blog site which you can access via the Renueva Tu Fe Radio website at www.renuevatufe.com.
ABC's Jake Tapper also expressed concern over the same issue. On his blog, he wrote that while appearances seem to indicate Obama "refused to go along with the 'pay to play'" Blagojevich plan, there were significant questions.
For example, he wondered "how Blagojevich knew that Mr. Obama was not willing to give him anything in exchange for the Senate seat – with whom was Blagojevich speaking? Did that person report the governor to the authorities?"
Judicial Watch said it has been investigating Blagojevich for more than two years and has an ongoing open records litigation concerning "the sale of government jobs for which he was arrested today."
Does it make you wonder what an Obama White House will mean for the nation?
Hey I want to remind you that where sin abounds grace abounds even more! His Grace is sufficient for us in these tumultuous times. Here’s one of my favorite groups, Phillips, Craig, and Dean, singing, A Place Called Grace.
This is Dan Hocker and you’re listening to the Lion’s Den here on Renueva Tu Fe Radion 1430AM, Diferente!
"Blagojevich has stonewalled and refused to turn over documents to Judicial Watch that could have alerted the American people to his corruption," Fitton said.
"There has been an air of lawlessness around Gov. Blagojevich for some time and Judicial Watch applauds U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald for his actions," Fitton said. "Blagojevich's corruption is no surprise, but its breadth and depravity is shocking. The alleged efforts to sell the Senate seat of Barack Obama are outrageous, but also seem to implicate many other powerful politicians and political players. Especially disturbing are the questions the scandal raises about Barack Obama and his close associates."
The case outlined by prosecutors today targeted Blagojevich and his chief of staff, with prosecutors stating several times their work contained no allegations against Obama.
The case did, however, mention Tony Rezko, a longtime Obama friend, fundraiser and real estate partner, Judicial Watch noted.
Obama told reporters, "I had no contact with the governor or his office, so I was not aware of what was happening," clearly distancing himself from his home state and its governor, whom he previously had endorsed for re-election.
"I am saddened and sobered by the news that came out of the U.S. attorney's office today. But as this is an ongoing investigation involving the governor I don't think it would be appropriate for me to comment at this time," he said.
But Tapper noted Obama's senior adviser, David Axelrod, appeared "said something quite different" in an interview Nov. 23 with Chicago's Fox affiliate.
"While insisting that the president-elect had not expressed a favorite to replace him, and his inclination was to avoid being a 'kingmaker,'" Axelrod said, "I know he's talked to the governor and there are a whole range of names many of which have surfaced, and I think he has a fondness for a lot of them."
Campaign officials today said Axelrod mispoke but offered no further information.
Prosecutors alleged Blagojevich repeatedly tried to negotiate personal benefits for his official duties, including the provision in Illinois that he as governor would appoint a successor for Obama's now-vacated U.S. Senate seat.
The complaint alleged the governor sought information on what he could get from Obama in return for appointing Obama's selection to the post.
According to recordings made during the investigation, Blagojevich said, "Can [Obama] help in the private sector … where it wouldn't be tied to him? … I mean, so it wouldn't necessarily look like one for the other?"
Prosecutors said the governor was given a negative response about getting something in return and then called Obama an obscenity.
Blagojevich called the Senate appointment responsibility "golden."
"Unless I get something real good … I'll just send myself," he said at one point.
Tapper also cited the previous links between Obama and Blagojevich: Obama endorsed Blagojevich in 2002 and 2006 and served as his adviser during 2002.
Blagojevich returned the endorsement of Obama in 2004
It may seem like there’s corruption everywhere! You may wonder what’s going on with this nation of ours, but we can be certain that Jesus Christ still reigns! He is faithful through it all! Jeremy Camp makes that bold declaration of faith in this song, I Still Believe.
This is Dan Hocker and you’re listening to the Lion’s Den here on Renueva Tu Fe Radio 1430AM. I hope your faith is still in tact today! In times like these I want to encourage you to be strong and of good courage, and the Lord will strengthen your heart! Keep the Faith!
We’ve been discussing the the news about the arrest of Governor Blagojevich of Illinois yesterday morning and it’s implications for the Obama Presidency! Hey you are welcome to join the discussion by calling in at 706-279-1430.
Last week were discussing the questions about Obama’s eligibility to be president because of questions surrounding his citizenship status! Hey that story isn’t over yet! The Supreme Court rejected the first of some 20 cases. That’s right the refused to hear the first of these 20 cases, but they are lined up, and who knows? It’s probably not a question of if it will be addressed but when? Don’t you think it makes sense to settle this before the vote of the Electorate on December 15th?
Now that the Supreme Court has taken a pass on the issue, the action filed by USJF is our best hope when it comes to compelling President-elect Obama to respect the Constitution and provide the American people viable substantiation that is is Constitutionally qualified to be President of the United States.
Some of what you are about to hear may shock you. Some of what you hear may cause you to tremble.
In fact...
this may be the one of the most important things in your life!
The sad and unfortunate truth is that your life... the liberties and freedoms we all sometimes take for granted... your future and the future of your children and grandchild actually hinges on what actions you choose to take after reading this letter.
What would happen if you woke up one morning and found out that the President of the United States was a USURPER... a FRAUD... a PHONY?
Think about that question for a while before you answer.
Mull it over.
What would happen if the leader of the free world was Constitutionally ineligible to be President of the United Stated but - in direct and undisputable violation of the letter of the Constitution - decided to take and hold office anyway?
What would happen if a politician actually got away with such a thing?
Do you believe ANY of our God-given rights would remain secure?
Would any bill this Usurper signed into law be valid?
Would this Usurper's Supreme Court appointments be valid?
Would the military recognize this Usurper as Commander-in-Chief and what actions would those within our military take?
What would our enemies around the world do?
What would happen to the economy... your job... your home... your assets or what you've put away for retirement?
Would our society destabilize uncontrollably and would we actually start down the road to anarchy?

It's Official We're in a Recession!
Good afternoon, this is Dan Hocker, and welcome back to the Lion’s Den here on Renueva Tu Fe Radio 1430AM. Hey, it is so good to be here! Go ahead ask me how I am. If you have to ask in Spanish, it’s, “Como estas?” I’m glad you asked! I couldn’t be better, and it has nothing to do with yesterday’s “official announcement.” You did hear that now, the United States is “officially in RECESSION!” DUH! Talk about yesterday’s news! Depending on your perspective that Recession just may be a Depression! Back to my personal definitions, A Recession is when there is an economic crisis that involves somebody else’s job or livelihood! It a DEPRESSION when it’s your job! So why make this “official” announcement? It’s like having big ugly wart on the end of your nose. You know it’s there. You can’t miss it, and then someone gets up on Sunday morning and makes a public announcement, “Folks, I want to make this “official announcement,” Dan Hocker has a big ugly wart on the end of his nose! Somebody please tell me, what good it accomplishes? In the case of the ugly wart, this person now has way too much attention called to the ugliness! They probably won’t be back to church until the wart is removed and the wound is healed from the removal, if they ever come back at all. Oh, and the result of this brilliant announcement about the “official recession?” was that the Stock Market fell again!
Well in spite of all this wonderful news, I couldn’t be better. We had a better month in November at Bates Furniture Company, where I work, not a great month, but better than October. At Bates Furniture we are trying to help the folks this year during the Christmas Crunch! That’s not a new cereal either. I’m talking about the pressure folks are feeling from the economic crisis we are in. We have some GREAT sales going on right now! We have three living room suites on the floor right now for under $800.00 and package deals including Sofa, Loveseat, Tables, and lamps, starting at just $1300.00! We have specials all over the store. It’s also a great time to take advantage of our 90 day interest free plan! With Income tax returns just around the corner, you can get your furniture today, with a minimum payment plan, and pay off the balance with your income tax return in March, INTEREST FREE! Hey, why not stop in to Bates Furniture during the Christmas Season, where we still say, Merry Christmas!
Well, we’ve put up our Christmas Tree, and strung the lights. And to help put you in get in the Christmas Spirit, here’s an upbeat arrangement of a traditional Christmas Carole, Joy to the World, sung by Whitney Houston and the Georgia Mass Choir.
I hope you remembered to Vote in the runoff election yesterday. It was a big day here in Georgia. The eyes of the nation were watching the Peach State as we returned to the polls in the runoff for the Senate seat of Saxby Chambliss. Do you know why this was such an important race? If the Democrats could have defeated Chambliss they woud have possibly had a filibuster proof Senate. It takes 60 votes to stop a filibuster. With the Chambliss victory they will have only 58 of the 60 votes they wanted. That means they will have to to work with Republicans to stop a filibuster.
In the Judicial race for the Georgia Court of Appeals, Mike Sheffield, who had the endorsement of Georgia Right to Life, lost to Sara Doyle. This was a blow to conservative values.
The other two races on the Whitfield County ballot were for the Public Service Commisioner and a local race for the Magistrate Court between attorney Sam Little and former Sherif’s Deputy, Chris Griffin. The incumbent Republican kept his seat on the Public Service Commision, and Chris Griffin won a seat on the Magistrate Court.
What’s more important than all of this news is the Good News! God is doing some great things right now, right here in Whitfield County, Georgia! This past Sunday was just awesome! Young people, I mean teenagers to young adults, are responding spontaneously to the Holy Spirit during the Praise and Worship Service at Christian Fellowship! This past Sunday Amber reported that God had answered prayer, healing a broken family relationship! Two young adults were filled with the Holy Spirit, like on the Day of Pentecost! And two others received Christ as Lord and Savior! It’s Wednesday and I’m still walking on air! If you don’t have a church home, then why not come and visit with us at Christian Fellowship one block off Hwy 41 on 201 at the corner of Church and Cemetery Street. Come and experience the Revival God is giving us right now!
Hey whatever it is you need today, Here’s a song by Darlene Zschech, All the Power You Need, from the Integrity Music Album, Shout to the Lord.
This is Dan Hocker, and you’re listening to the Lion’s Den here on Renueva Tu Fe Radio 1430 AM Tu Estacion, Diferente! That was Darlene Zschech, singing All the Power You Need.
Last week on the Lion’s Den we were talking about the Major Media Blackout about Obamagate! Haven’t heard the expression? Well I’m not surprised, and you shouldn’t be either, but 124,000 folks have sent emails and letters to congress asking them to take action! In case you missed last week, or are just tuning in, Obamagate refers to the five cases that have reached the Supreme Court already, challenging Barak Obama’s eligibility to serve as President based on the Constitutional Requirement that the President must be a natural born citizen of the United States. There are some serious questions about his eligibility that he has not answered, including the fact that neither he nor the DNC have answered the Supreme Court’s request for a response to the Berg Case. Remember that Berg’s case was thrown out of a lower court not because of his evidence but because the Judge in Pennsylvania said he lacked standing. Berg appealed to the Supreme Court, but there he is not alone, with five cases already there, and cases from 15 more states moving toward the Supreme Court! Hey this isn’t just going away. The people want answers. In fact the “We the People Foundation” has placed a full page ad in the Chicago Tribune, and open letter to Barak Obama. Before I read to you let me remind you that you are listening to the Lion’s Den, and you can participate, Call us at 706-279-1430. That’s 706-279-1430.
Here’s what they put in the Chicago Tribune, and I believe they also ran it in New York too!
Dear Mr. Obama,
Representing thousands of responsible American citizens who have also taken an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States of America from all enemies foreign and domestic, I am duty bound to call on you to remedy an apparent violation of the Constitution.
Compelling evidence supports the claim that you are barred from holding the Office of President by the “natural born citizen” clause of the U.S. Constitution. For instance:
• Your father was a Kenyan citizen at the time of your birth and your mother was 18.
• Legal affidavits state you were born in Kenya.
• Your grandmother is recorded on tape saying she attended your birth in Kenya.
• Hawaii Dept of Health will not confirm your assertion that you were born in Hawaii.
• You have posted an unsigned, computer-generated birth form that was created in 2007, a form that lacks vital information found on an original, hand signed Certificate of Live Birth, such as hospital address, signature of attending physician and age of mother.
• U.S. Law in 1961 denied U.S. citizenship to any child born in Kenya if the father was Kenyan and the mother was not yet 19 years of age.
• In 1965, your mother legally relinquished whatever Kenyan or U.S. citizenship she and you had by marrying an Indonesian and becoming a naturalized Indonesian citizen.
You have repeatedly refused to provide evidence of your eligibility when challenged to do so in a number of recent lawsuits. Instead, you have been successful in having judges declare that they are powerless to order you to prove your eligibility to assume the Office of President.
For instance, the judge in Pennsylvania ruled the challenger had no standing to question your eligibility because his harm would be no different from the harm to be suffered by all other American citizens if you, as an ineligible person were to assume the Presidency. The judge in Hawaii actually said it would be an invasion of your privacy for him to order access to your original birth certificate in order to prove your eligibility to hold the Office of President.
Before you can legitimately exercise any of the powers of the President you must meet all the criteria for eligibility established by the Constitution. You are under a moral, legal, and fiduciary duty to proffer such evidence. Should you assume the office as anyone but a bona fide natural born citizen of the United States who has
not relinquished that citizenship, you would be inviting a national crisis that would undermine the domestic peace and stability of the Nation. For example:
• You would always be viewed by many Americans as a poseur - a usurper.
• As a usurper, you would be unable to take the required “Oath or Affirmation” on January 20 without committing the crime of perjury or false swearing, for being ineligible you cannot faithfully execute the Office of the President of the United States.
• You would be entitled to no obedience whatsoever from the People.
• The armed forces would be under no legal obligation to remain obedient to you.
• No civilian in the Executive Branch would be required to obey any of your proclamations, executive orders or directives, as such orders would be legally void.
• Your appointments of Ambassadors and Judges to the Supreme Court would be void no matter what subsequent actions the Senate might take.
• Congress would not be able to pass new laws because it would not be able to acquire the signature of a bona fide President.
• As a usurper, Congress would be unable to remove you from the Office of the President on Impeachment, inviting certain political chaos including a potential for armed conflicts within the General Government or among the States and the People to effect the removal of such a usurper.
In consideration of the escalating constitutional crisis brought on by the total lack of evidence needed to conclusively establish your eligibility, I am compelled to lodge a First Amendment Petition for a Redress of this constitutional tort.
With all due respect, I ask that you immediately direct the appropriate Hawaiian officials to allow access to the vault copy of your birth certificate by our forensic scientists on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, December 5, 6 and 7, 2008.
In addition, I ask that you to arrange to have the following documentary evidence delivered to the National Press Club by 10 am on December 8, 2008.
• a certified copy of your “vault” (original long version) birth certificate.
• certified copies of all reissued and sealed birth certificates in the names Barack Hussein Obama, Barry Soetoro, Barry Obama, Barack Dunham and Barry Dunham.
• a certified copy of your Certification of Citizenship.
• a certified copy of your Oath of Allegiance taken upon age of maturity.
• certified copies of your admission forms for Occidental College, Columbia University and Harvard Law School.
• certified copies of any court orders or legal documents changing your name from Barry Soetoro.
“In a government of laws, the existence of the government will be imperiled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.” Olmstead v. United States, 277 U.S. 438.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this urgent matter.
Sincerely,
Robert L. Schulz
Chairman
Do you find it amazing that we aren’t hearing anything about this in the major media? If you want to read this letter for yourself you can see it on their website at http://www.wethepeoplefoundation.org/UPDATE/misc2008/Obama-USA-TODAY-ad.htm There will of course be a link on my blog at http://thelionsden1430.blogspot.com . Again you’re welcome to comment here at 706-279-1430. That’s 706-279-1430. Remember you can email me at thelionsden1430@live.com or lafosadeleones@live.com and check out the Lion’s Den Blog on Blogger. I would love to hear from you.
One thing is for sure, whatever comes of these issues and questions about the presidency, Jesus Christ is still the Lord of Glory and Worthy of our Praise, and this next song by Hillsong, says, Let Everything that has Breath Praise the Lord, from their Album, You Are My World.
That was Hillsong, and you’re listening to the Lion’s Den here on Renueva Tu Fe Radio 1430AM Tu Estacion, Diferente. This Dan Hocker, reminding you that you can call in anytime with your comments, at 706-279-1430.
Hey, you could get the idea that things are mess in the world, in this country. There are certainly a lot of problems. Maybe your life is a mess, and you don’t know what to do about it. Perhaps you’re thinking, “Hey, Pastor Dan, you don’t know what I’m going through.” Know what? You’re right. I don’t but God does, and I’m here to tell you that there is absolutely nothing too big for Him to handle. He’s God, and He cares about you! As we wrap up today, I want to pray with you, because I really do believe that God both can and will answer our prayers. Let me close with the profound truth of this simple song we learned as children, Jesus Loves Me, from the the Integrity Music Album, No Higher Calling!
Well in spite of all this wonderful news, I couldn’t be better. We had a better month in November at Bates Furniture Company, where I work, not a great month, but better than October.

For instance, the judge in Pennsylvania ruled the challenger had no standing to question your eligibility because his harm would be no different from the harm to be suffered by all other American citizens if you, as an ineligible person were to assume the Presidency. The judge in Hawaii actually said it would be an invasion of your privacy for him to order access to your original birth certificate in order to prove your eligibility to hold the Office of President.
Before you can legitimately exercise any of the powers of the President you must meet all the criteria for eligibility established by the Constitution. You are under a moral, legal, and fiduciary duty to proffer such evidence. Should you assume the office as anyone but a bona fide natural born citizen of the United States who has
not relinquished that citizenship, you would be inviting a national crisis that would undermine the domestic peace and stability of the Nation. For example:
• You would always be viewed by many Americans as a poseur - a usurper.
• As a usurper, you would be unable to take the required “Oath or Affirmation” on January 20 without committing the crime of perjury or false swearing, for being ineligible you cannot faithfully execute the Office of the President of the United States.
• You would be entitled to no obedience whatsoever from the People.
• The armed forces would be under no legal obligation to remain obedient to you.
• No civilian in the Executive Branch would be required to obey any of your proclamations, executive orders or directives, as such orders would be legally void.
• Your appointments of Ambassadors and Judges to the Supreme Court would be void no matter what subsequent actions the Senate might take.
• Congress would not be able to pass new laws because it would not be able to acquire the signature of a bona fide President.
• As a usurper, Congress would be unable to remove you from the Office of the President on Impeachment, inviting certain political chaos including a potential for armed conflicts within the General Government or among the States and the People to effect the removal of such a usurper.
In consideration of the escalating constitutional crisis brought on by the total lack of evidence needed to conclusively establish your eligibility, I am compelled to lodge a First Amendment Petition for a Redress of this constitutional tort.
With all due respect, I ask that you immediately direct the appropriate Hawaiian officials to allow access to the vault copy of your birth certificate by our forensic scientists on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, December 5, 6 and 7, 2008.
In addition, I ask that you to arrange to have the following documentary evidence delivered to the National Press Club by 10 am on December 8, 2008.
• a certified copy of your “vault” (original long version) birth certificate.
• certified copies of all reissued and sealed birth certificates in the names Barack Hussein Obama, Barry Soetoro, Barry Obama, Barack Dunham and Barry Dunham.
• a certified copy of your Certification of Citizenship.
• a certified copy of your Oath of Allegiance taken upon age of maturity.
• certified copies of your admission forms for Occidental College, Columbia University and Harvard Law School.
• certified copies of any court orders or legal documents changing your name from Barry Soetoro.
“In a government of laws, the existence of the government will be imperiled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.” Olmstead v. United States, 277 U.S. 438.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this urgent matter.
Sincerely,

Do you find it amazing that we aren’t hearing anything about this in the major media? If you want to read this letter for yourself you can see it on their website at http://www.wethepeoplefoundation.org/UPDATE/misc2008/Obama-USA-TODAY-ad.htm There will of course be a link on my blog at http://thelionsden1430.blogspot.com . Again you’re welcome to comment here at 706-279-1430. That’s 706-279-1430. Remember you can email me at thelionsden1430@live.com or lafosadeleones@live.com and check out the Lion’s Den Blog on Blogger. I would love to hear from you.
One thing is for sure, whatever comes of these issues and questions about the presidency, Jesus Christ is still the Lord of Glory and Worthy of our Praise, and this next song by Hillsong, says, Let Everything that has Breath Praise the Lord, from their Album, You Are My World.
That was Hillsong, and you’re listening to the Lion’s Den here on Renueva Tu Fe Radio 1430AM Tu Estacion, Diferente. This Dan Hocker, reminding you that you can call in anytime with your comments, at 706-279-1430.
Hey, you could get the idea that things are mess in the world, in this country. There are certainly a lot of problems. Maybe your life is a mess, and you don’t know what to do about it. Perhaps you’re thinking, “Hey, Pastor Dan, you don’t know what I’m going through.” Know what? You’re right. I don’t but God does, and I’m here to tell you that there is absolutely nothing too big for Him to handle. He’s God, and He cares about you! As we wrap up today, I want to pray with you, because I really do believe that God both can and will answer our prayers. Let me close with the profound truth of this simple song we learned as children, Jesus Loves Me, from the the Integrity Music Album, No Higher Calling!
