The Barack Obama administration is quietly in the process of rigging use of
the US Census of 2010, which deliberately counted millions of illegal aliens,
for the purpose of restructuring the apportionment of the US House of
Representatives. Accordingly, as candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor
of one of the negatively affected states (Montana), Mr. Bob Fanning and I have
joined with several others in becoming amici curiae in a pending federal lawsuit
brought by the State of Louisiana against the US Secretary of Commerce, et al.,
which was filed January, 13, 2012 in the United States Supreme Court.

What has happened is, the US Census Bureau erroneously claims that it “‘is
required by the U.S. Constitution count everyone living in this country,
regardless of immigration or citizenship status.’” Accordingly, they have
counted millions of illegal aliens in the 2010 Census and are using those
figures to apportion the US House of Representatives. If this egregious
misinterpretation of the US Constitution is allowed to stand, five states
(Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, North Carolina, and Ohio) will lose
representation in the US Congress to which they are lawfully entitled, while
three states (California, Texas, and Florida) will be awarded additional
representation in the US Congress to which they are not lawfully entitled. And,
of course, this will also directly impact the makeup of the Electoral College,
which ultimately elects the President of the United States.

Of course, this manipulation of the 2010 US Census also impacts the election
of the US President, as those states that are granted more seats in the US
Congress are also granted more votes in the Electoral College as the Electoral
College is composed of a “Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of
Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress.
. . .” (Article. II. Section. I. Clause. 2. US Constitution). And, as everyone
knows, under the US Constitution, it is the Electoral College that ultimately
elects the President of the United States. Thus, the states of Louisiana,
Missouri, Montana, North Carolina, and Ohio, will be unjustly denied their
lawful votes in the Electoral College, while California, Texas, and Florida, are
being unjustly granted unlawful votes in the Electoral College. Would it not be
extraordinary if the margin by which President Obama is re-elected in the
Electoral College would be provided by the manipulation of the census data under
his control? Again, this would be an outrage!

In essence, the Obama administration is rigging the US Census to steal a
congressional seat from the State of Montana. This rigging will keep Montana
from having a second congressional representative. If the illegals in
California, Texas, and Florida are not included, then Montana will receive two
congressional seats and four electoral votes. Under Obama’s rigging plan,
Montana will continue to have only one congressional seat and three electoral
votes.

Considering the major media and even most “conservative” talking heads have
said virtually nothing about this monstrous misallocation of constitutional
government is just the latest example of how truly out of touch the people who
are entrusted to inform the American people really are.

The plaintiff in this case is the State of Louisiana, which has now been
joined and supported by amici U.S. Border Control, U.S. Border Control
Foundation, U.S. Justice Foundation, Institute on the Constitution, Gun Owners
of America, Inc., Gun Owners Foundation, English First, English First
Foundation, Conservative Legal Defense and Education Fund, The Lincoln Institute
for Research and Education, Public Advocate of the United States, Policy
Analysis Center, Virginia Del. Bob Marshall, Oklahoma Rep. Charles Key, Maryland
Del. Don Dwyer, Washington Rep. Matt Shea, Wyoming Sen. Kit Jennings, as well as
Candidate for Governor of Montana, Bob Fanning, and Candidate for Lieutenant
Governor of Montana, Chuck Baldwin.

Attorneys filing this brief before the US Supreme Court are Herbert W. Titus,
William J. Olson, John S. Miles, Jeremiah L. Morgan (of the law firm of William
J. Olson, P.C. of Vienna, Virginia) and Gary G. Kreep (of the U.S. Justice
Foundation).

As citizens of the State of Montana, and as candidates for Governor and
Lieutenant Governor of the State of Montana, Bob Fanning and I are outraged at
this unconstitutional manipulation of the 2010 US Census, and the subsequent
unconstitutional and unlawful misapportionment of the US House of
Representatives. We are further outraged that our own governor, Brian Schweitzer
(the incumbent Democrat governor who is term-limited out of office after the
completion of his current term) has done nothing to prevent the people of the
State of Montana from being denied the rightful seating of an additional US
House member from the Montana delegation to Washington, D.C. He has not served
as Montana’s watchman, to make certain that our State is being treated fairly by
the Obama administration. Louisiana has been forced to go it alone, as the only
State willing to bring this challenge. By not joining the lawsuit against the
Obama administration, what Governor Schweitzer in essence is doing is allowing
illegal aliens to deny the due representation of the citizens of Montana in
Washington, D.C. This is an outrage!

It is a gross misinterpretation of the US Constitution to claim that the US
Census is supposed to “count everyone living in this country.” Article. I.
Section. I. Clause 3. as amended by Section. 2. of the 14th Amendment authorizes
“a targeted decennial census of the ‘respective numbers’ of ‘the People’ of the
several States, not a wholesale count of the numbers of persons found ‘living’
in the United States.” The term “the People” is a technical term used in the
U.S. Constitution to refer to the polity, that is, the people who constituted
the government and who are legal citizens of the nation. Only by such a tailored
count can the constitutionally-authorized decennial census serve the purpose for
which that census has been required–the apportionment of representation of the
people of the several states in the U.S. House of Representatives.

“It is manifestly untrue that the decennial census ordained by the
Constitution is to be taken without regard to a person’s ‘immigration or
citizenship status.’ The decennial census is conducted for the apportionment of
representation in the House of Representatives, the members of which are ‘chosen
every second Year by the People of the several States.’ (Article. I. Section. 2.
Clause. 1. US Constitution). The first sentence of the 14th Amendment
establishes a symbiotic relationship between a person’s United States
citizenship and that person’s State citizenship. Thus, whether a person is part
of ‘the People’ of a State is largely, if not exclusively, dictated by a
person’s ‘immigration or citizenship status.’ Any census that ignores that
connection is fatally flawed.”

In the afore-mentioned lawsuit, we are asking the US Supreme Court to
preserve the integrity of the US House of Representatives and Electoral
College.

I can tell you that the people who want to disassemble constitutional
government in this country are hoping that no one notices what the Obama
administration is doing to manipulate the 2010 US Census to unlawfully
reconstruct the US House of Representatives and Electoral College. Well, I can
tell you, Bob Fanning and I (along with the other amici curiae supporting
Louisiana in this lawsuit) are not going to let that happen!

I will be holding a press conference to blow the whistle on what is taking
place to deny the people of the State of Montana (along with the people of the
states of Louisiana, Missouri, North Carolina, and Ohio) their lawful
representation in Washington, D.C. I am also using the influence and outreach of
this column to alert the American people as to how the Obama administration is
attempting to manipulate the US House of Representatives and Electoral
College.

It is more than interesting also that the “anointed” establishment neocon
Republican Montana gubernatorial candidate, Rick Hill, has, himself, not even
bothered to alert the people of Montana to this travesty. Why not? Rick is a
career politician who once served in the US House of Representatives from
Montana. One would think he would want to protect the people of the State of
Montana from this outrage. But he has said nothing! Plus, have you heard
anything about this from any of the “conservative” talking heads on FOX News? No
you haven’t! Why not? Why is it left to this column to alert you to this gross
violation of constitutional government?

Therefore, I unashamedly appeal to readers to help Bob and I carry this fight
to preserve the integrity of the US House of Representative and the Electoral
College to the US Supreme Court. Please go to our web site at:

I also highly encourage readers to visit the web site of the law firm filing
this brief. William J. Olson, Herbert Titus, et al., have been at the front
lines in helping to defend constitutional government for longer than many of us
have been alive. Bill Olson and Herb Titus have defended a sizeable number of
patriot organizations and individuals against federal usurpation for decades. I
don’t know of another law firm with the credentials and track record of fighting
for constitutional government, Second Amendment rights, and individual liberty
anywhere in the country than the law firm of William J. Olson, P.C.

In the meantime, each of us should be using our individual and collective
sphere of influence to trumpet this attempted travesty as loudly as possible! I
especially encourage readers in the states of Louisiana, Missouri, Montana,
North Carolina, and Ohio to demand of every elected public office holder in
their respective states to use every means possible to defend the lawful rights
of their states to proper representation in the US House of Representatives and
the Electoral College. The people of America simply must not allow this flagrant
manipulation of the 2010 US Census to take place! If the Obama administration
gets by with this now, think how the states’ representation in Congress will be
abused in the future.
