FYI, below the cut is a list of the Arizona legislators who are sponsoring HB 2544, which will require the all of the following for presidental and vice-presidental candidates:
1. An original long form birth certificate that includes the date and place of birth, the names of the hospital and the attending physician and signatures of the witnesses in attendance.
2. A sworn statement attesting that the candidate has not held dual or multiple citizenship and that the candidate’s allegiance is solely to the United States of America.
3. A sworn statement or form that identifies the candidate’s places of residence in the United States for the preceding fourteen years.
C. If both the candidate and the national political party committee for that candidate fail to submit and swear to the documents prescribed in this section, the secretary of state shall not place that presidential candidate’s name on the ballot in this state.
Worth noting, possibly, is the list of House Republicans who are not currently sponsoring the bill (no Democrat is a sponsor): Speaker Kirk Adams, Cecil P. Ash, Kate Brophy McGee, Heather Carter, Steve Court, Tom Forese, Russ Jones, Frank Pratt, Amanda Reeve, Bob Robson, Michelle Ugenti, Ted Vogt, Jerry Weiers, and Vic Williams.

No one who signed on this bill deserves to be taken seriously.
10 states now developing eligibility-proof demands
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?pag…
We’re STILL on this??? Good grief. How about bailing us out of financial ruin in this state instead of this??
Don’t these morons have anything better to do?
I find it amusing that the state that Obama decides to sue, the state he turns in to the United Nations for human rights violations, refuses to seal the border, calls racist, will be the state that brings down his presidency. This man has not released on file on anything, written two books that are turning out to be pure fiction, and by the way he didn’t do the writing. I only hope the other 9 states on record to do the same do so.
why just the President or Vice President? Why not Senators and Congressmen? I would like to see the same documents from the 41 who are sponsoring this bill!
Arizona> one of the most backward states where time stood still.
I thought proof of eligibility was already required in order to get put on the ballot. Were we really so lax that we didn’t? And are we going to hold our Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates to higher standards than our own legislators? Let’s see the requirement for all candidates to submit documentation of eligibility.
The only two people in Government required by the Constitution of the United States of America, to show proof of Natural born citizen status are the President and Vice President. Congressmen are not required to be natural born citizens.
Fraud was committed to place Obama on the ballot. Read the reports on Pelosi signing off on him without the constitutional requirment being met. It’s all over the internet.
The fact that this drivel is “all over the internet” hardly makes it true. Your posts are out there, are they not? I read a post the other day that stated that all Birthers are idiots. Really, it’s all over the internet.
Yes, we want Obama to prove he did not take over the most powerful country in the world illegally. It would be Treason if Obama used a fake B/C, the one he showed American, the short form is a fake…..
The Ultimate question is did Palosi, Biden and Reid certify Obama using his fake short form from Hawaii claiming he was a U.S. citizen. The Law requires them to give certification to the states but from all evidence they may have committed treason? You see Liberals don’t want anyone asking Obama to prove he is a citizen, they know he not, the truth must not come out as far as the left is concerned. If you demand Obama prove he is a citizen you are a Patriot, a real American hero, someone who really cares about your country and it’s laws.
monteluna3~ the reasons candidate Obama was never vetted fully by the media or officials are simple. a) Illinois is politically corrupt from top to bottom . b) Media outlets wouldn’t touch the question for fear of being labeled “racists”. Everything about the man was securely socked away in the Daley library vault with no access much like his birth certificate. Or so we’ve been told.
These legislators are true PATRIOTS, HEROS to all of Arizona, you will be remembered at election time, thank you so much…. It is Sheer Genius, a tribute to your character that our consitution means what it says and you follow the rule of law. Horay for our great legislators, your real men and women who set the bar for other States to follow.
What is the role of Obama, Palosi, Reid and Biden in the cover up of Obama’s Venting process for eligibility? We know all the above signed a certification form but then switched it for a form that had the certification removed and then sent to the States as required by law? This was a deliberate act? Clearly to keep them from a future indictment for Treason? What about Obama social security number? Experts say it was issued to a man from Connecticut who died long ago but was never made inactive as required by law? Obama then mysteriously ends up with this mans social security number? Why is it the media won’t ask the experts or check on this themselves, would Obama retaliate?
Is Obama using a social security number that belonging to a dead man from conneticut years ago? Did Palosi, Reid and Biden really Vent Obama correctly or did they commit Treason? Are Birthers the real Patriots and the Liberals just Communists who spew Marxist hate? Why is it that none of the Liberal want anyone to see Obama’s birth certificate? Why does the Liberal media now want to see Obama’s birth certificate? Do you think a Liberal would lie about Obama’s B/C and help cover it up and claim you are idiots or racist for asking? Do Liberals think the entire country is stupid like Obama does?
Oh, and, you know what else!? The earth really is flat! Them fancy, elitist scientists who say it’s round are just communist, fascist, socialist, marxist, kenyan, nazi, mooslin, illegals!!!! Blaarghh!!!
And get off my lawn!
Based on the description in paragraph one, my birth certificate, which I used to get a passport and enlist in the Armed Forces, issued with state seal from the State of Wisconsin, would not qualify. It does not list the hospital nor the names of the physician or witnesses. It only shows, “the name of the subject at birth, date of birth, place of birth, parents’ names, file date, and certificate number.” So our Arizona legislators don’t want anyone from Wisconsin to run ever, it seems.
A refresher on the facts:
A scanned image of the birth certificate was available since the summer of 2008 for anyone to review. See it at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:BarackOb…
The Director of Hawii’s Department of Health certified that a valid birth certificate is on file for Obama. A description of this is at
http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/…
Birth announcements exist in two separate Honolulu papers, marking the occasion, when it happened:
http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/…
Several court cases have thrown out challenges to the certification for lack of evidence, and snopes has a description of one of Obama’s early teachers specifically remembering the news of his birth.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/birth…
I list these, not to address the conspiracy theorists above, who will continue to find odd “coincidences” to dismiss the evidence, but to remind others, like me, who are surprised this stale excuse for a controversy is not only alive but backed by some of our legislators. The legislators should be pressed for why they are wasting state time to address an issue with such overwhelming evidence against it.
Well, who is going to be the first journalist in Arizona who demands to see 41 ORIGINAL, long-form birth certificates of each member of the Arizona legislature, hm?
Wow. It seems that not only is our legislature full of whackadoodles, but many of them are posting here as well. Ya’ll should just secede.
OMGod, the continued dumbing down of Arizona. The state of stupid f**kers. They are embarrassing themselves with their actions. People of Arizona, remember who these people are and vote them OUT of office, they’re making you all look bad.
I am particularly amused by TRex’s call for proper VENTING of Obama. Should we poke holes in him with a fork like the top of a pot pie?
These legislators are true Patriots, hero’s in a world gone mad where illegal aliens can lie as to their residency and take control of the most powerful country in the world. Shame on the Liberal for not standing up and telling Obama to produce his B/C, how dare a Liberal call himself an American.
Rally, SamSewell, TRex? You guys are total loons… Do you really believe that rubbish? I am not sure whether to laugh at you or pity you. Along with the ridiculous legislators. You ridiculous claims supported by false information (as well as irrelevant) are only perpetrated by lame websites put together by folks with WAY too few brain cells to take seriously.
There are some big time smack Lefty’s on this board, they are really smelling things up with their bs. You just gotta ask yourself, are these coocoo’s for real, why are they sucking up to Obama, he has robbed the entire country. Since Washington to Bush the debt total was 10 trillion, in two years Obama has raised it to 15 trillion, what has he done wtih the money, payoff the unions so they can kick him back money for his re-election. Come on, stop it, everyone knows Obama is a fraud. A long form birth certificate costs $12.00, Obama has spent $2 million keeping us from getting it, does anyone really think he is an American. The only real birth certificate is a Kenyan one, it has his foot print on it, it’s a fact, he is a illegal alien?
Frankly, Dr. Dray, we already believe we have the truth and could care less about your fanaticisms. It is the LEAST of our concerns
Dr. Dray,
Could I please have a citation on the scientific study you mentioned?
Nevermind, I foumd the citation.
http://esciencenews.com/articles/2010/10/2…
It’s good to know that that “study” proves that Dr. Dray and his deleted abusive comment is nothing less than a liar.
“You guys are total loons”
So I am guessing that when a liberal says something like this is is not a personal attack, right?
Arizona has gone off the deep end in lots of ways but this ignorance is hard to read. Did this come up before the election from either mccain or Clinton? Lets concentrate on improving this country instead of this idiocy. Get a grip all you racists in az-there are some intelligent people who know who you are, and feel sorry for the idiots who voted you in.
You people are attempting to rationalize with these racists as if it were possible that actual logic would make a difference.
An N-word has been elected as the President of this country and it isn’t that their heads are about to explode; they have already exploded. They are attempting to function with exploded heads.
I know, it seems that it could not possibly be so at this point in time, 2/3/2011. But it is.

Some of these comments convince me we need HCR more than ever. These Birthers truly need psychiatric care to relieve their paranoid schizophrenia.
Clozapine must be in short supply in Arizona, or else it’s a drug not covered by the legisator’s medical insurance plan?
At first they (powers that be) tried to pretend the issue didn’t exist. When they couldn’t ignore the issue they began to ridicule anyone who dared to ask uncomfortable questions. Now they are fighting the issue’s existence tooth and nail. That reminds me of other struggles against the empire.
“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” Mahatma Gandhi
About time, someone stands up to this joke of a president!
Why has Obama not produced the long form birth certificate, just to end the controversy? This is why many people all over the USA believe it doesn’t exist.
Why has the long form not been presented? Why did the letter from the DNC certifying Obama and Biden as their candidates omit the words “eligible under the provisions of the US Constitution” as was the case in all previous election years? No wonder many people all over the US suspect the proper credentials, required from all citizens to get a US Passport, do not exist.
no kidding ….morons they are….and yes of course they have MANY MANY more important things to do, but none of them have the mental “wherewithall” to accomplish any of the real problems of our state, so they do this pretend work that does absolutely nothing but further tarnish Arizona’s reputation. How DO these people get re-elected?????
