Please find it in your hearts to forgive this gratuitous thread hijack.

I continue to think one of the more urgent "theaters" of the eligibility war, is the push for State-level so-called "birther bills." Just chiming in with a ping that in Missouri tomorrow a public hearing is scheduled for House Bill 283. Unfortunately, I think its one of the weakest of these bills, and might not matter even if it were to pass since it requires only vague "proof of Citizenship,".

Nevertheless, after some painful losses on this front already I thought some of you might want to stay in the loop.

I can only hope that Anderson Cooper doesn't come along and shame them all into believing that they are evil racists for thinking to ask for credentials. His performance with the Montana(?) legislator was chilling.

There's a big problem that several of the legislators who sponsor the eligibility bills don't grasp the issue or what the real problems are with Obama's lack of eligibility. I would love to face down AC as his presumptions are actually easy to debunk.

The state eligibility bills are critical, IMHO. Even if they wouldn’t actually accomplish anything because they are too vague, they are important because it is a chance for the “little people” (those not worth Soros bribing or threatening, who are already so sick of the media’s mocking that it’s just background noise to them already) to speak common sense into the public record and possibly give courage to the legislators in states where the proposed bill has some teeth.

Wisconsin is showing us just how desperately our legislators need to have the right mind and the right facts, and how much they need us to strengthen them to do what has to be done. We can talk about how wimpy our elected officials are, but it’s better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness. These people will have courage when we lift them up in prayer and with our encouragement and promise to have their backs.

At this point even the waterboy has a critical role on the team, because we are truly facing the giant. We’ve got the ENTIRE media against us - that has recently become incredibly clear to me - and we’ve got no law enforcement willing to do their jobs. (A LOT like Wisconsin, where politics has superseded the rule of law at every level and we’ve basically got a yelling match.) If we’re going to hold the line of defense we need every “Yop” (ala “Horton Hears a Who”) to get the job done.

At the state level, people can make the trip to be there for a hearing, or can write a letter to the editor, or can e-mail legislators, or any number of things. This is the perfect level for all the “Yops” to add up. We’ve got our work cut out for us.
