New bill would require Barack Obama to provide proof of birth to get on Georgia ballot
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | March 1, 2011 | Jim Galloway

Posted on 03/01/2011 11:11:45 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

State Rep. Mark Hatfield, R-Waycross, just handed me a copy of his new bill, HB 401, which would require President Barack Obama to provide certified proof of his birth to the Georgia secretary of state in order to appear on next year’s presidential primary and general election ballots.

The bill has the signatures of 94 members of the 180-member House, including that of one Democrat, Glenn Baker of Jonesboro.

The measure will get its first hearing on Wednesday. Read the bill here.

If you’re a member of the Georgia Ports Authority or Georgia Chamber of Commerce, still attempting to persuade the White House to add a few zeros to that appropriation for the dredging of the Port of Savannah, this is your cue to cut loose an animal howl of frustration.

At minimum, the bill will make for some interesting chatter when the national press comes down to hear Newt Gingrich’s announcement that he’s exploring a GOP run for president.

Hatfield attempted similar legislation last year. From my AJC colleague April Hunt:

“I think the issue with our sitting president has been left unresolved for a significant length of time that people have concerns,” Hatfield said. “But this is not just about our current president. It’s about enforcing the constitutional provisions for anyone who seeks the office of presidency.”

Hatfield’s bill would require certified copies of “the candidate’s first original long-form birth certificate.” Documentation as provided by Hawaii, which has insisted time and time again that Obama was born there, “would not suffice,” Hatfield said.....

I have no care about the president’s eligibility or whether he committed fraud.

I just want the national media exposed for spending so much time, money, manpower, and resources investigating Bush’s National Guard service, Sarah Palin’s background, various Republican Senator’s infidelities, and whether Willow Palin’s purse during the 2008 campaign was counterfeit or not; but not lifting one f***ing finger to look at ANYTHING in Obama’s background or history.

I think if this becomes a story, maybe more people will wonder why the sycophant news people didn’t look at this themselves.

Not to those of us who know he’s an usurper. If the Democrats in GA do it, Holder’s behind it and if Holder does it, it’s at Obama’s behest. Whichever way it goes, the MSM will spin it in Obama’s favor and to the detriment of conservatives who want to see the Constitution upheld. After all, that’s racist.

Is the DNC subject to FOIA requests? Is there any way to force them to show what they used to ‘verify’ Obama’s eligibility? Since they are the ones who certified him, they should have to produce the methods and documents they used to do this.

If this won’t work at the national level, can this be done at the state level?

Become a member of DNC, contribute then sue them they are a private organization not subject to FOIA. This is a sure fire way of contesting Obama in 2012.

Let’s hope the bill goes into the dual citizen issue.
That’s the pink elephant in the room.
Obummer is already by his own admission ineligible due to his father being a British Subject. It doesn’t matter where he was hatched out. He’s a dual and not eligible.
Of course he could be ineligible in two ways, the duality and a foreign soil birth.

I know most of us are well aware of this, but still, for the Obots, YOUR GUY IS A DUAL CITIZEN AND IS INELIGIBLE FOR THAT REASON ALONE NO MATTER WHERE HE WAS BORN.

Good Day!

Why would he want to do that before any act of a state legislature has been passed and signed into law by a governor?

Why do you ignore my question and answer a "slightly altered question?"

I said, IF ENACTED! Don’t make up a question and answer yourself!

Enough of Congressional subpoena, etc. You know very well that if the shoe were on the other foot, a Republican President hiding all that your 0b0z0 is hiding wouldn't have survived a primary, let alone a Pelosi/Reid Congress. The usual chorus of communist media assholes would have been clamoring for his hanging from the Washington monument plus any "conspirators" who tried to "deceive the good ol' American people would have been in jail for life.

I, among others, invented playing with the language, so don't even try that on me. Answer the straight question in my previous post or take your usual way out; don't answer at all!

So you think it is ridiculous that Obama could not provide the necessary documents to obtain a work visa in Chile, or Argentina, or Tanzania, as I did, but its ok for him to be president?

This is the proper way to proceed...ALL candidates must show proof of birth to be allowed on the ballot...simple.

Too bad this wasn’t caught when the Bush Administration was in charge of the IRS.



An idiotic statement to make Troll-OBot for someone who claims to be writing a master thesis on the OBummer eligibility, and you should know about related matter. When one of the two private investigators did her social security number check on Barack Obama, he was already the pResident in 2009. And the other PI was in the middle of his SS number search for Obama only days away from his inauguration.

You sir are a proven liar and a fraud. You wish not to uncover Obama’s secrets but to hide them.

You told us the Obama attorneys used the Lingle and Fukino statements in their court filings. They were scanned and you would post on line.

You have failed to locate them...but you continue to boast of their validity on numerous threads.

Fair enough. You and I are in agreement then that Obama would not release any documents unless and until at least one of the state level bills is signed into law.

I do have to continue disagreeing with you though on congressional subpoenas. Congress can investigate ANY issue that it wants and if “the greatest political fraud in the history of the Republic” is what we are dealing with concerning Obama’s eligibility, I still think that the natural born citizen/Article II, Section 1 issue deserves some investigative attention from the 112th Congress.
If the leaders of the House are intimidated by the media, then “no guts, no glory.”

I remind you that even in overwhelmingly Democrat, Chicago, Illinois, US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald wasn’t afraid to go after Obama’s buddy Governor Rod Blagojevich via a Grand Jury investigation which resulted in indictments, a conviction and an overwhelmingly Democrat state legislature impeaching and removing Blagojevich in about a month’s time.
Democrats run away as fast as they can from “damaged goods” in their party and if the evidence was provided that Obama is damaged goods, the rats would be deserting the sinking ship.

But guess what? Barack Hussein Obama II and Michelle Obama have filed federal income tax returns using Social Security numbers for 2010 and for 2011 as well! They also filed federal income tax returns and federal financial disclosure forms containing Social Security numbers for the years that Barack Hussein Obama was a United States Senator: 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008.

You see, here in America, we pay income taxes EVERY year!
I guess it’s different for you folks on Mars.

I really think Republicans make themselves look ridiculous dwelling on the birth certificate issue. We need to evict him at the ballot box. The courts are not going to do it.
It is probable that Obama was born in Hawaii, tho that's not certain. Even finessing the question of Obama's father's British citizenship doesn't do it. Beyond all that, the question is whether Obama, as a child, became a citizen of some other country.

IOW, if his mother annulled his American citizenship by/in order to enroll in schools in countries which require citizenship for admission to schools, Obama not only might not be "natural born" American citizen, he might not be an American citizen at all. Tho it is hard to see how the Georgia legislature could require proof of the negative that that did not happen - but it would seem that state law should provide a basis for a court challenge if someone has the goods to take to court. Loser pays, of course . . .

Regardless, it's improbable that legislatures of states which might go for Obama in the general election will enact such legislation. But I'd think that it would at least be a nuisance to have to run as a write-in in all the southern primaries. If Hillary challenged, that could be a signal advantage to her to be able to take the southern states for granted.

The Site Pest is also, evidently, a split-personality. He doesn’t know from day-to-day whether he’s an earnest young undergrad working on his thesis or a fully fledged college professor. Didn’t I say there might be a personality disorder involved?

Well it’s time to take the ‘might’ out of my conjecture.

of my conjecture.


It is so much fun reading “fantasy-writer’s” fantasies and projections about yours truly!
You have projected and fantasized that I am “young” because I mentioned writing a thesis and most folks who write Master’s theses are indeed “young.”
But that’s not my situation. I am literally about 90 days from retirement after a 40 year career teaching counseling psychology. My college has a wonderful fringe benefit for retired tenured professors: we can draw full retirement benefits and in addition make one-third of our final base salary teaching three courses a year. It just so happens that I am a very close friend of the Chair of the Political Sciences Department and I have always wanted to teach a course that combines psychology with political science but in order to do that, I need an additional credential in that discipline, hence, even at my advanced age of 66, I am back in school and loving every minute of it.
I would be bored teaching the same old courses in retirement that I taught while working full time, so I am really looking forward to the challenge of designing a new interdisciplinary course in political science and psychology for the Fall, 2011 semester.
God, I wish I was an “earnest young undergrad!”

Oh, and the term “split personality” is antiquated. It’s “that stupid communist troll and site pest must have ‘multiple personality disorder,’” these days!

And what social security number did OhOmo in chief file under...OBot?

They also filed federal income tax returns and federal financial disclosure forms containing Social Security numbers for the years that Barack Hussein Obama was a United States Senator: 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008.

Which was a redacted social security number on any government form that was released to the public.

It is incredulous to believe otherwise that this government is not covering up for Obama.

You literally read my mind. I sat down at the computer to request that you post the Site Pest graphic, and there it was—already up, big as life and twice as illustrative.

Thank you.

From your #26:

A problem with gaining access to those records is the fact that the State Department is currently under the control of Obama appointee, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (the successor agency to INS) is under the control of Obama appointee Janet Napolitano, Secretary of Homeland Security.

Here is the question that isn't for massaging, just an answer will do.

When elegibility laws are ENACTED, would 0b0z0 ORDER his appointees to release his papers? YES OR NO? If no, what's the problem?
