Davis Was No Help With Citizenship Issue
As a 20-year U.S. Army veteran with two tours in Vietnam and a tour in Thailand, I recently requested Rep. David Davis’ assistance with a citizenship problem involving my adopted daughter who was born in Thailand. I didn’t ask Mr. Davis to break any laws, just to correct an oversight, error or omission that occurred during or after the adoption process in 1973-74.
We presented 37 pages of legal and adoption documents that were filed at that time (one that went to the Immigration and Naturalization Service) that should have granted my daughter citizenship then. Davis even agreed that my daughter was a citizen, having been in the United States for 35 years, but they still couldn’t give her the legal documents indicating such. Needless to say, since we were not big campaign contributors or lobbyists, we didn’t get any help at all – except a reminder for her not to vote or risk being arrested!
I helped my grandson with Davis’ last campaign crusade, but I will do all in my powers to promote his opponent in the upcoming election and influence as many others as possible. If you vote for Davis, don’t expect any help unless you can line his pockets.

rawbleedoarnge, are you missing the forest for the trees? Obviously these people thought for the past 35 years they had done everything right only to find out now that there is a problem. I don’t know what David’s office could have done but they didn’t satisfy Mr. Goforth’s wants. And if his grandson is the Goforth that worked for David 2 years ago then this is shameful.
if the time would have been taken in 73-74 to make sure the process was complete, there wouldn’t be a problem now. don’t put the blame on someone else for your lack of responsibility
Wow, Newt Gingrich hand carried Rupert Murdouch of the Fox Nwetworks citizenship application thru the Government offices so Murdouch would not be arrested and go to jail for break the U.S. laws about Forgien Nationals Ownership of U.S. Media Corporation. They had already done the deal and Murdouck had bought the Fox Network. The lawyers saw the money and forgot the law.
Gingrich got a $5 Million Dollar book deal for his efforts.
My point is here you don’t have enough money apparently to get any government officals attention.
