"Press Release" here:

"The Birther Summit recognizes the urgent need to release a statement regarding the unity of the eligibility movement, as we coalesce toward our Spring conference, rally, and march. While we understand that many individuals and groups have played significant roles in various aspects of our attempts to be heard on the matter of Barack Obama's constitutional ineligibility to hold the office of president of the United States, we are also aware that public infighting has been detrimental to those efforts, and has served as a distraction that has allowed our detractors to use our discord to try to marginalize us."
You mean the fact that the dueling egos infesting the birtherstani have caused them time and time again to turn on and eat their own??

"...we do not consider those who reject this historically accurate legal definition of "natural born Citizen" to be part of the greater eligibility movement, for they have adopted a constitutionally subversive stance, while simultaneously claiming that Barack Obama is constitutionally ineligible. We maintain that such a posture is logically unsustainable. One either believes the country to be wholly dependent upon the Constitution, or not constitutionally dependent at all. There is no middle ground.
It is apparent that at least some who have adopted such a milquetoast regard for constitutional integrity concerning the natural born Citizen requirement, have done so to promote a particular political agenda. We believe one of those agendas is the desire to support potential candidates such as Bobby Jindal, Marco Rubio, and Nikki Haley. Our firm position on any possible candidate for president or vice president of the United States is that, if one was not born in this country, or if both parents were not United States citizens at the time of one's birth, then one is ineligible to hold the office, regardless of any other qualifications, talents, or public appeal that person may have."
So de Vattelists only, no other birthers to be allowed in their clubhouse. That should reduce the room requirements a bit....

"Not entirely unrelated to the above statement is the matter of certain attorneys who have been involved in this movement at one time or another, and their current actions as they pertain to the effectiveness and perception of the eligibility movement. "
Well, just about every birther attorney out there has acted in ways that were an insult to their profession, and none of them seem to have the slightest grasp of the concept of "professional ethics"
Quote:
"To that end, we proclaim our unequivocal support for the efforts of Orly Taitz, Esq., Mario Apuzzo, Esq., and Leo Donofrio, Esq. While individuals are entitled to their personal opinions about anybody, we, as a movement, recognize them as American patriots who continue to fight tirelessly for the cause of justice, and for that, we offer them not only our support, but also our undying gratitude.
Looks like Dean Haskins is trying very very hard to tongue-buff the buttocks of Dr. Orly, Apuzzo, and Donofrio to a high-gloss shine.
Quote:
"Moreover, we are aware that attorneys Philip Berg and Gary Kreep, for purposes of financial gain, or motivations of self promotion, have filed various legal actions against Dr. Taitz, and the Birther Summit categorically condemns those actions. Regardless of past involvement to promote the eligibility movement, those individuals, through their present litigation against Dr. Taitz, are not only a detriment to our cause, but also to the public perception of our cause."
There is a certain level of karma in the fact that the birthers are starting to throw Berg and Kreep under the bus like this. Berg filed the first birther lawsuit (and most of the others stole from his work), while Kreep brought Dr. Orly in as an assistant in his first birther lawsuit, Keyes v Bowen. It's almost appropriate that they're being rejected and shunned by their very creation.
Quote:
"While the Birther Summit would certainly welcome those individuals back into the eligibility movement, and would support their actions that promote our cause of constitutional dependence, specifically as it applies to Barack Obama's ineligibility, that can never happen apart from the immediate withdrawal of their nonsensical legal actions filed against Orly Taitz."
Translation - "LEAVE DR. ORLY ALONE!!! YOU'RE LUCKY SHE EVEN LITIGATES FOR YOU BASTARDS!!!"
Quote:
"Additionally, for them, or anyone else, to be considered a leader of this movement, they would necessarily have to affirm their understanding of the aforementioned historic definition of "natural born Citizen."
So basically if they publicly kowtow to Dr. Orly and follow the strict de Vattelist party line, then they'll be accepted once again as Fellow Comrades into the Glorious Birtherstani People's Revolution.
