Read the story below then visit Terry's Site at http://www.terrylakin.com to support him and his family.

Can you believe a decorated officer and doctor went to prison for seeking the truth about Obama? All Terry wanted was the truth. After two years of diligently trying to get proof of Obama's eligibility through standard processes he found himself stonewalled at every turn.

Do you know why he had to disobey orders? Since he could get no answers from the current procedures, he felt his oath to the Constitution demanded he force a court martial by disobeying orders to deploy. He had hoped to have a chance to make his case. Instead he was denied a defense.

How have his actions protected your constitutional rights? Terry said, "The Constitution matters. The truth matters." Our Constitution, and the documents that followed, came out of millennia of human struggles. It has created the most free, most powerful and most prosperous and generous civilization in history. It is a brilliant summation of the best way for flawed humans to govern themselves in an orderly and productive way. Its precepts have served us well and must not be so easily discarded.

You won't believe what he gave up to protect our great country: Everything!· Terry's sentence included 6 months in Leavenworth, loss of rank, loss of pay, loss of pension, and loss of benefits. He did this to protect our Constitution.

Why Terry's Case is Important

This decorated Lieutenant Colonel simply asked for confirmation that his commander in chief is eligible to be president. Instead he received a court martial with no defense allowed and six months in prison.

Terry's case brought and has kept the presidential eligibility issues in the front of the public and press. From his first video that started his story, and his second video describing the unusual circumstances of being denied all discovery and access to witnesses, his case has become part of every discussion of this issue. He was derided on CNN, covered by every major paper and media outlet, and even brought the issue to late night TV comedy.

Terry has been criticized by some for his actions. They state plainly that he disobeyed orders and should simply accept the results. They believe that his pursuit of confirmation of eligibility should have been unrelated to his service. The facts of his case are plain. He did disobey and was fully cognizant of the potential results. However, after exhausting all possible means of resolving this through existing army procedures, he felt he had no choice but to bring this case to public. Please read his letters from prison to hear it in his own words.

His resolve has not changed. He still believes the issue is critical to the strength and authority of our Constitution. Terry contributed greatly to the visibility of this issue and will continue to do so. He has sacrificed everything he's worked for. He has given up his liberty, his income, and his retirement. His future is uncertain. He did this because he believes that the truth and Constitution matter. His stand has motivated others to· launch numerous efforts and is bringing the issue to state after state as actions are taken to ensure that eligibility for any office will never be an issue in the future.
