AZ Senate Prez too weak to lead? - Eligibility sponsor fears GOP protecting Obama
WorldNetDaily ^ | 4/27/2010 | Bob Unrah

A legislative plan in Arizona that would require candidates for president to document their constitutional eligibility to occupy the Oval Office needs only an affirmative vote from the state Senate before it could be advanced to the governor, but the sponsor has told WND she's concerned the GOP leadership will end up protecting President Obama's secrets.

State Rep. Judy Burges, R-Skull Valley, told WND today that her bill was approved by the House but now is being "held" by Senate President Robert Burns.

She explained Burns told her that in light of the controversy over the state's immigration law - targeted by pro-amnesty immigrants and open-border activists - "he didn't want to take on another one."

While Burns was on the floor of the Senate or in caucus much of today and couldn't be reached directly for comment, a spokesman, Mike Philipsen, told WND only that the issue is "in the process" and did not respond to requests to confirm that it actually will be given to senators for a vote.

Burns represents District 9 and is a Republican from Peoria. He serves as chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee.

Philipsen confirmed that if a Senate concurrence is obtained, "then it would go to the [governor]."

Gov. Jan Brewer has not said whether she supports the idea or not.

The text of the Arizona bill is available online...

Anyone with an IQ higher than a clam realizes there's something fishy about a president that spends over $1mil to hide a long form birth certificate worth less than twenty bucks. We need to get rid of pols that are too weak to lead---this bill is needed so voters don't get punked by a COLB again.

The RNC and the RINOs are terrified that Obama will be proved ineligible, just as much as the democrats are. They don't care about anything but keeping things on track, and the resulting uproar would threaten that.

I believe the woman at the bottom is Kyrsten Sinema, not Judy Burges.

there is no doubt in my mind that the GOP is protecting Obama on the BC issue.

Progressives all.

Mark my words, the GOP will support everything that now comes down the pike from the socialists.

That the Arizona senate president is a greased-up unter-RiNO who's sitting on the issue at John McCain's request -- and Steele's, and the RNC's.

Those guys ought to be out there slugging, and instead they're playing "Tommy the Cork" [FDR's fixer aide] for the Commie 'Rats in DC.

I'm catching a whiff of something that smells like top-level, table-stakes blackmail.

I think I’m smelling it, too, and I’m a lot farther away than you are.

There has been a lot of Jan Brewer promotion the last few days and she certainly deserves a lot of credit for signing the immigration bill but folks outside of Arizona should know that Brewer is not a Conservative poster girl. She was not elected to the Governorship (she succeeded Napolitano when she became the Border Surrender and Terrorist Appeasement CZar)and she is currently in the fight of her life to win the Republican primary to keep her job. She has lost the support of much of the conservative and tea party wing of the party because of her insistence that AZ needs to raise our sales tax 18% to maintain government spending. Her ads and her speechs are classic liberal hyperbole. If we don’t raise taxes than we have to line up the teachers, policeman and nurse in a ditch and shoot them. It’s enough to make you gag. She has two strong conservative opponents either one of which would probably defeat her if they weren’t splitting the vote right now. Our primary is not until August.

Please call Robert Burn’s Office. They are tallying who is for moving the bill forward and who is not. Please if anyone has a large ping list, send this message out. Senator Burns phone number is(602) 926-5993. Please be polite.

OK...I just updated it...and couldn’t get it to update in Photobucket, so I just killed the link. I’ll work on it and repost later. Sorry about the error.

"he didn't want to take on another one."

With this kind of attitude, I guess the Declaration of Independence would never have been signed and ratified.
