Considering that five states, Delaware, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York and Vermont allowed Roger Calero ballot access in 2008, I can think of five more states that should be proposing legislation as well.

[all the best]

It’s nuts that this type of legislation is controversial. Should be a done deal.

Obama is going to have to put up or shut up. MSM can’t protect him.

[Venturer]

I can see no reason why anyone should object to such a law.

[tsowellfan]

That must be why Obama’s in such a hurry and has started the paperwork already. He wants to beat the passing of the law.

Hopefully Brewer will sign the AZ bill.

More States would be great, so AZ cannot be dismissed as outlier.

All it'll take is just a handful of states getting relatively bulletproof eligibility legislation signed into law, and you'll have the usual suspects - unions, the Vichy media, the parasite classes - bleating about a 'Constitutional crisis' before the primaries even start. But, what the hell - if The Won can pick and choose the laws he'll abide by, then why let a little thing like a birth certificate get in the way of his Destroy America agenda?

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

I hope it passes. And if either OH, FL or TX does the same, the Bamster will be in serious trouble. Didn’t AZ already pass such a bill in the last couple of days?

[proudpapa]

I would love to see Wisconsin pass this too!

[null and void]

It would be amusing if any of theses states would define "Natural Born Citizen" in the legislation.

(Born on US soil, of US citizen parents)...

[Oldpuppymax]

“Original or Certified by WHOM??” Would that phony piece Hussein posted on the web a couple of years ago suffice? If so, the law would be meaningless.

[melancholy]

Breached Dam Ping.............

A pair of Republican state lawmakers have filed legislation to require future presidential candidates to prove their U.S. citizenship by providing "an original or certified copy" of their birth certificate in order to qualify for the Louisiana ballot.

Even if this is watered down, things are moving.

My optimism is based on the comparison between the taboos that nobody DARES to talk about and legislating "something that attempts" to convey the message of We The People’s awakened mistrust in the usurper.

IMO, it's a hell of an improvement. Dontcha think?

[Logical me]

More vote buying. I tell you we are in deep trouble and King Obama is setting up for another term. He loves parties, vacations, world travel, and golf.

Associated Press with more spin.

New York got spanked in a supreme court decision that they allowed Obama on the ballot without vetting him.

I hope that they follow procedures that are already in place. If they do, Obama can not get on the ballot

”THIS IS TO CERTIFY that at the National Convention of the Democrat Party of the United States of America, held in Denver, Colorado on August 25 though 28, 2008, the following were duly nominated as candidates of said Party for President and Vice President of the United States respectively and that the following candidates for President and Vice President of the United States are legally qualified to serve under the provisions of the United States Constitution:”

******

As most of us know, the statement above was on the Democratic Party's "Official Certification of Nomination" that it sent only to Hawaii in 2008.

The Party, as I recall, sent a different version to the other states.

At the time, many of us publicly asked why the Democratic Party sent one version to Hawaii while sending another version to the other 49 states.

As I understand it, the answer to that question is still not clear even today. And the Democratic Party seems conspicuously mute on the controversy.

My point is this: If Hawaii can require the "Official Certification of Nomination" above from the Democratic Party before it would allow Obama to be placed on Hawaii's presidential ballot in 2008, then why can't ALL states, like Louisiana and Arizona, also demand that the Democratic Party send them the same document in 2012 before they allow the Democratic Party nominee, Obama, to be placed on its ballot?

Just some thoughts on this notification document:

1. There doesn't seem to be any question of Constitution problems, because Hawaii had no problems with demanding such a notification document in 2008.

2. The Democratic Party representative who signs it would be crazy to sign it under penalty of perjury until he was positive beyond a shadow of a doubt---for instance, he personally saw and touched the nominee's official state long form birth certificate---that the Democratic Party nominee was "legally qualified to serve under the provisions of the United States Constitution:” as stated in the "Official Certification of Nomination" document that the Democratic Party sent to Hawaii after the Democratic Party 2008 national convention.

3. As I see it, it would be a very good idea that state election officials---especially if no state is able to pass a presidential eligibility law this 2012 campaign season--- demand that political parties provide an "Official Certification of Nomination" with the statement above included before officials allow a political party to place its nominee on the 2012 presidential ballot.

A good law, BUT a liberal judge would just rule 1) that the “Certification of Live Birth” is just as good as a Birth Certificate, and, 2) No one in the State has standing to dispute it, anyway! Believe me!
