Who is LTC Terry Lakin

Lieutenant Colonel Terrence ("Terry") Lakin serves as Chief of Primary Care and Flight Surgeon for the Pentagon's DiLorenzo TRICARE Health Clinic. He is the lead Flight Surgeon charged with caring for Army Chief of Staff General Casey's pilots and air crew. LTC Lakin, selected for promotion to Colonel, is a native of Colorado, whose residency is Tennessee.

LTC Lakin's numerous awards and decorations include the Army Flight Surgeon Badge, Combat Medical Badge, the Bronze Star Medal, the Meritorious Service Medal, the Army Commendation Medal with two Oak Leaf Clusters, the Army Achievement Medal with one Oak Leaf Clusters, the National Defense Service Medal with Bronze Service Star, the Armed Forces Expedition Medal, the Army Reserve Component Achievement Medal, the Army Service Ribbon, the Overseas Service Ribbon sixth award and the NATO service medal. He has served previously in Honduras, Bosnia, El Salvador, Korea, and Afghanistan.

For well over a year, LTC Lakin has asked through his chain of command and his Congressional delegation for proof that President Obama is Constitutionally eligible to serve as his Commander-in-Chief. He has explained to his superiors that he cannot understand how his Oath of Office to protect and defend the Constitution does not allow military officers to pursue this proof of eligibility.

LTC Lakin received military orders in late February for deployment to Afghanistan, including a requirement that he provide "copies of his birth certificate." LTC Lakin is prepared to provide a certified copy of his certification of vital record that lists his birth hospital, physician's name and other key information. He has provided this document for many other required processes, such as his commissioning into the military as an officer, his security clearance and his marriage license. He is the highest ranking officer to go public over this controversy and the first active duty officer to do so.

Posted my take on LTCol Lakin

I find it funny he posted as a "Birth Certificate" a COLB from Colorado, and then claims Hawaiian COLB's are somehow not real enough.

My husband's BC was issued by the State of Colorado in 1991. It's called a "Certificate of Live Birth".

It includes: local file number, state file number, childs name (first, middle, last), date and hour of birth, sex, number of children in birth (single, twin, triplet), county of birth, city, town, or location of birth, is the birth inside city limits, hospital name

mother maiden name, age, state of birth, residence state, residence county, residence town or city, inside city limits, street and number

fathers name, age, state of birth

informant signature, relation to child, mothers mailing address, signature of birth attendant, date signed, printed name of birth attendant, address of birth attendant, registrar signature, date received by local office

Former Sen. Smith's Now a Watchdog

Former Sen. Bob Smith, R-N.H, has a new project, called Americans for Accountability, or A4A, which debuted yesterday with a Freedom of Information Act request seeking "all Obama Administration documents and data pertaining to Sen. Tom Daschle's tax evasion." See here.

The group, which styles itself as an ethics watchdog, is described as a project of the American Patriot Foundation, a 501(c)(3) group, and is soliciting tax deductible contributions. That foundation was set up in 2003, by Smith and his friend Paul Rolf Jensen, a Costa Mesa, Calif. personal injury lawyer whose law office and the foundation share an address.

Exemption Requirements - Section 501(c)(3) Organizations


To be tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, an organization must be organized and operated exclusively for exempt purposes set forth in section 501(c)(3), and none of its earnings may inure to any private shareholder or individual. In addition, it may not be an action organization, i.e., it may not attempt to influence legislation as a substantial part of its activities and it may not participate in any campaign activity for or against political candidates.

Organizations described in section 501(c)(3) are commonly referred to as charitable organizations. Organizations described in section 501(c)(3), other than testing for public safety organizations, are eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions in accordance with Code section 170.

The organization must not be organized or operated for the benefit of private interests, and no part of a section 501(c)(3) organization's net earnings may inure to the benefit of any private shareholder or individual. If the organization engages in an excess benefit transaction with a person having substantial influence over the organization, an excise tax may be imposed on the person and any organization managers agreeing to the transaction.

Section 501(c)(3) organizations are restricted in how much political and legislative (lobbying) activities they may conduct. For a detailed discussion, see Political and Lobbying Activities. For more information about lobbying activities by charities, see the article Lobbying Issues; for more information about political activities of charities, see the FY-2002 CPE topic Election Year Issues.

They're trying to raise $50,000 in 10 days for this guys legal fund. And it's tax deductible? why?

Something that really sticks in my mind is that this is a very polished, professional site.

Army Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin: Birther, Oath Keeper, Newest Astroturfer

[...]

Safeguard Our Constitution claims to be part of the American Patriot Foundation, a non-profit organization established in 2003. Other than the initial return, no other official filings have been made.

[snip]

Despite the fact that Lt. Col. Lakin is a highly-decorated, high-ranking officer of the United States Military who also happens to be a doctor in charge of surgical services at a large TriCare facility in Washington, DC, he's wrong. Wrong, misled, and part of a larger astroturf project.

American Patriot Foundation

American Patriot Foundation was founded by former New Hampshire Senator Bob Smith, who resurfaced last year as Project912's candidate for the Florida Senate seat against Marco Rubio and Charlie Crist. Last Friday, he announced his intention to withdraw from that race.

The neocons really, really hate the fact that Obama's foreign policy is working. He smacked Netanyahu, appears to have scored a top Iranian nuclear scientists' defection, is cleaning up Iraq and Afghanistan, and has Defcon V Neocon Extraordinaire John Bolton in a twist over the idea that we might actually negotiate a treaty with Russia that decreases the number of nuclear weapons in our arsenal.

An osteopath! A branch of medicine which is not quite mainstream. Lakin couldn't get into a school that issued doctor of medicine degrees (M.D.s).

It all starts to become clear.
