What Does Sarah Palin Believe?
By: Michael Patrick Leahy
List Price: $16.95
Amazon Price: $10.16

Product Description
Learn about Sarah Palin's Irish Catholic roots, her mother's conversion to Evangelical Christianity, and the story of the Wasilla Warriors 1982 girls basketball Alaska State Championship team. When Sarah Palin, the 44 year old Governor of Alaska, was selected by John McCain to be his running mate in 2008, America discovered a rising political star. Republicans haven't seen such excitement for a candidate since the days of Ronald Reagan. What Does Sarah Palin Believe? tells the story of how her character was formed, how it has been revealed in her public career to date, what she believes, and how those beliefs have been misrepresented and mischaracterized by her political opponents since the moment she set foot on the national stage. Sarah Palin s personal character was formed by the Alaska wilderness and her tightly knit family. From her mother, Sally Sheeran Heath, she received her faith. From her father, Charles R. Chuck Heath, she received her love of sports and the outdoors. Growing up in the small communities of Skagway and Wasilla, Alaska during the 1960s and 1970s, Sarah's life personifies the ideal of the independent self reliant American who understands the importance of faith, family, community, and country. Relying on interviews with those who know her best--her parents, sister, high school teammates, coaches, teachers, and colleagues, What Does Sarah Palin Believe? will provide unique insights into this fascinating, once a generation political leader of today and tomorrow.

What Does Barack Obama Believe ?

Product Description
In this timely second edition, author Michael Patrick Leahy lays out the evidence that Barack Obama is not Constitutionally eligibile to serve as President. He reviews the evidence offered to date by Obama to prove his natural born status, and demonstrates why the currently available evidence fails to meet the Constitutional standard of absolute certainty that he is natural born.
The Constitution is quite clear on this matter, according to Leahy. Article II, Section I of the Constitution states unequivocally that only a natural born citizen, older than thirty-five, who has resided in the United States for at least fourteen years is eligible for the Office of the Presidency. The courts have decided in the past that to be considered natural born, a candidate must have been born either in the United States or on an American military base outside the United States to parents who are American citizens. Any candidate born outside the United States, not on an American military base to American citizen parents is not natural born. For the first time in American political history, serious questions have been raised about the birth location of the nominee from a major party. In such instances, the burden of proof lies with the candidate. And clearly, Senator Obama has not met that burden of proof. Therefore, he is not eligible for the Office of the Presidency.

The three types of proof offered by Obama to date are insufficient to establish that he is a natural born citizen. The proof offered includes:

(1) A digital image of the front of a State of Hawaii certified copy of Certificate of Live Birth posted on the Fight the Smears website in June, 2008. (2) A physical inspection of the purported State of Hawaii certified copy of Certificate of Live Birth made in August, 2008 at Obama offices in Chicago by researchers from the Annenberg Political Fact Check organization, a unit of the Annenberg Public Policy Center. (3) A digital image of an August 13, 1961 notice of birth in the Honolulu Advertiser newspaper.

None of the three pieces of evidence identified above have been verified by Dr. Alvin Onaka, the Registrar and Chief of the Vital Records Office for the State of Hawaii, as authentic. Even if the certified copy of the Certificate of Live Birth is determined to be an authentic document, it does not mean it verifies Obama was born in Hawaii. That purported certified copy does not have the signature of Dr. Alvin Onaka on the back. It merely has the stamp of his signature. If it was generated by the State of Hawaii, it was generated by a clerk, who simply typed a certificate number into a computer data base, which contains abstract information supposedly generated at some time by viewing the long form vault copy Certificate of Live Birth submitted to the Department of Health by either the hospital of his birth, or at some time subsequent to his birth by his parents or grandparents. And Dr. Onaka himself has acknowledged in a 2005 speech that the integrity of birth certificate databases needs to be improved. It is within the range of the possible that the Hawaii birth certificate data base has been hacked into and compromised.

You can look at this evidence offered to date and a reasonable person might conclude it is more likely than not that Barack Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961 as he claims. Such a conclusion, however, does not meet the Constitutional requirement of absolute certainty. The Constitution does not say a person who more likely than not is a natural born citizen is eligible for the Office of the President.

Mr. Leahy also explores Barack Obama's political and religious beliefs, based on a careful review of his own writings and interviews of people who know him.

Letter to an Atheist
By: Michael Patrick Leahy
List Price: $14.95
Amazon Price: $8.66

Product Description
In this hard hitting and intellectually powerful response to Sam Harris' Letter to a Christian Nation, Michael Patrick Leahy exposes the intellectual dishonesty behind Mr. Harris' brand of Christian bashing atheistic evangelism. Leahy points out in devastating detail the numerous factual misrepresentations in Mr. Harris' book (for instance, debunking Mr. Harris' outrageous claim that 50% of all Americans believe the universe is only 6,000 years old--the facts show the number is 18% at most), and dismantles the simplistic "solutions" proposed by Mr. Harris. Stop violence by ending all faith ? Easier to try to stop the ocean tides. Limit the rights of Christians to participate in the political process ? In the name of "justice" then, Harris would oppress Christians, creating a world wide second class of citizens. Follow the model of fascists in Europe in dealing with the threat of Islamic fundamentalism ? Even fellow atheist Christopher Hitchens calls such a solution repugnant. Seekers of the truth from all faiths should run, not walk, to their keyboard or local book store and purchase Michael Patrick Leahy's Letter to an Atheist.
