'''Phillip Berg''' is a Philadelphia attorney and former chair of the [[Democratic Party]] in Montgomery County, [[Pennsylvania]]. He is a former gubernatorial and senate candidate, as well as a former Deputy Attorney General.
==9/11 Lawsuit==
Berg first came to prominence in May, 2004, when he represented Ellen Mariani, wife of Louis Mariani, in a lawsuit against [[President Bush]], [[Vice President Cheney]], former [[Defense Secretary]] [[Donald Rumsfeld]], and 55 others under the federal Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations act. Mr. Mariani was killed when United Air Lines flight 175 was flown into the South Tower of the [[World Trade Center]] on September 11, 2001. The lawsuit alleges that the government had foreknowledge of the terrorist attacks and provided no warning. In addition, it claims the government actively covered up evidence after the attack. For instance, Mr. Berg alleged that former [[Florida]] [[Governor]] [[Jeb Bush]] went to the offices of Hoffman Aviation School, took records, and had them flown out of the country on an [[Air Force]] plane.<ref>[http://www.democracynow.org/2004/5/21/9_11_widow_sues_the_bush 9/11 Widow Sues the Bush Administration for Intelligence Failures]</ref><ref>[http://www.americanfreepress.net/html/torture_judge.html 'Torture Judge' Is Rewarded By President]</ref>
==Obama Lawsuit==
Berg again appeared in the news in August, 2008, when he filed suit against [[Senator Barack Obama]], the [[Democratic National Committee]], and the [[Federal Election Commission]], seeking an injunction to prevent Obama from continuing his candidacy, and the DNC from nominating him based on eligibility. Berg's suit states the birth certificate provided by the candidate is a forgery, and that even if Obama's a natural-born citizen, that he forgo his citizenship when he was supposedly adopted in Indonesia.<ref>[http://www.hillaryproject.com/index.php?/en/story-details/clinton_supporter_sues_obama_on_grounds_he_is_constitutional_ineligble_for_/ Clinton Supporter Sues Obama]</ref>
